Thoughts of the class May 11th

When I was going through the class I was sort of worried, because everything was going to be done online. Then the class going day by day and learning the proper English ways of you would say came to me more. I thought the class was helpful and not so helpful. It was crazy that we did so many essays very end of the class, but I did get them done. when I go into my next class for the fall semester I will bring what I learned and correct myself on my own.

lactose free life May 7th

I am lactose intolerant. Throughout my childhood I had to change the way I ate and was not allowed to eat the same things as other kids. At birthday parties I could not eat pizza with everybody and have ice cream on a hot day with my friends. It was really hard to change the way I ate once I found out that was why I had such bad headaches, but once I felt better it came more naturally. I have to eat dairy free products like almond milk and lactose free ice cream. I also have to eat veggie cheese instead of regular. I sometimes eat regular dairy and I will know when I have had too much because I will feel very sick after, but it can be hard to stay away completely. I don't hate being lactose intolerant, but it is harder to eat and I would not wish it on anybody.

Tennis May 4th

Today my girlfriend and I decided to start playing tennis. We like to do physical activities like walking my dog and riding bikes and thought that might be something we would both enjoy. We bought balls and rackets then drove to the tennis courts at the park downtown. When we got there we quickly realized that the courts were kind of run down and cracked up, but we wanted to still play so we went on anyways. It had rained a little earlier so the ground was still wet and the court was a little slippery. Soon after we started playing it got intense, we both are competitive, and I ran a little too fast and lost my balance. I fell really hard on the pavement and hurt my elbow. After I realized I couldn't use my arm very well we decided to go home. Later my parents told me that there was a town council meeting tonight and they talked about fixing the courts. I hope they do because it was really fun until I fell. If they redid the courts that would not happen.

painting April 30th

Today I decided it was time to repaint my bedroom and bathroom. They are both really plain rooms that needed some new color. So I first decided that I wanted my room to be Michigan State colors and my bathroom to be blue with ocean stuff. I had my girlfriend help me pick out everything that we needed and she helped my clean everything. She also is a really good painter so we did it together. She cut in around the ceilings and I rolled the walls. We worked really well together and both rooms looked really nice when I was done. I moved everything around in my room and made it more comfortable. We might paint her room next.

Puppy time April 27th

So my girlfriend's dog is pregnant with eight puppies and we have been prepping her house for the babies. We had to build a little area for the puppies to be born and live in for the first few weeks and bought all the materials they will need during birth. We have been also making sure that her dog is getting all the nutrients that she needs and is staying active and healthy until they arrive. She is a German shepherd and so was the dog that she mated with so they will be worth a lot of money once they are old enough to be sold. We are all really excited about them coming because they will be so small and fun to play with. The mother is a really talkative dog that loves to play so we hope they act just like her.

Paper or plastic April 23rd

Recently I have been thinking about how important recycling is for the planet and how I want to start helping out. The recycling plant in my town just reopened so now with the opportunity is so close to home that I can really get into it. I talked to my parents about it and they want to help contribute. I really just want to start being more aware of what I throw away and what can be recycled. If everybody started to be more conscious of what they put into the earth then we all could be happier about what comes out of it. Also I really want everybody I know to stop using plastic bottles and using reusable ones to reduce waste. I think I'll hang up signs around my work and gym to start telling people about why simple things can make a big difference.

April 20th

            A lot of people come up with things to keep themselves relaxed from work stress and school even. The couple of comforting techniques that I do are working out, which in tells like running or lifting. When I work out I basically sweat out the stress, or whatever is bothering me. Another soothing thing I enjoy is playing video games because I’m lying down and not worried about anything else. Those are just couple of things that keep me calm and relax through out the days or the week.
