What to be for Halloween?

This year I have been thinking what to be for Halloween. I was first thinking of being a pirate and for our party down stairs for my dorm. The pirate costume was a little tight and extremely uncomfortable. I decided that I did not want to wear that all night. I then decided on being a nerd. So now I am rushing around trying to put stuff together and looking for things to wear. I believe by the end of the night tonight I will be nerded out and ready to go out.

research process #2

So far the research process is going pretty well. We have all decided on a topic and it is something I believe I can write a lot about. I like the group that I am in and think that it will not be hard at all to talk to them about our topic. I think we have found some good sources that will give us a lot of information. So far the the research process is going great.

Research Process

So far it has been very hard to pick a topic. We have looked at a lot of different things but it is hard to just pick one. I feel like every topic that has been brought up has be shot down by someone else in the group. I believe though that if we keep discussing topics our group will decide on one. I can see myself with the group I am in now and really believe we can get together and all find a topic we all can write about.

College Grades

I left high school thinking I was completely ready for college and that it was just the next step. I still would not say that college is hard but it is hard to get a good grade if that makes sense. I was not very good at tests, even in high school and I would always raise my grade by doing well on all the homework. The test are not impossible but when that is your total grade in many classes it puts a lot of pressure on me to do well. It makes it very hard to succeed in the class if your entire grade is based off of a couple of test. That is my thought on college grading.

The Dining Plan

I am writing about the dining plan at Ball State because just this morning I went down stairs to eat breakfast at 10:10. I then got all my food and waited in line and that took forever because the line was so long. By the time I got to the front it was past 10:30 and I could no longer get breakfast. The meals plans are set up for you to lose money. The way they should do it is is give us 3 meals a day and we use them as we please. Another way they could do it is just give us an amount of swipes a week. For example, I am on the 18 meal plan. If I use 14 during the week and then am going home for the weekend I should be able to swipe it 4 times before I leave. Instead, when i go home, Ball State just gets that money that I paid for. I am upset because this meal plan is set up for us to lose money and also because i didn't get breakfast this morning.
