I really hate.....

Let me state that I really dislike writing papers for class, but I am doing it! Why? Well 1. It gets me out of my comfort zone 2. I know it is helping me to get a better education and that is good. Well back to writing. Oh boy.

To study or to enjoy the weekend?

Well it's the weekend and the weather is great but what am I doing? I am studying for next weeks classes. Since the term started on Wednesday I only had 1 class last week, next week my other class starts CJ 210 Criminal Investigation starts, this unit should be tough but hopefully I can do it. Anyway I am inside studying and blogging but that is the price of getting an education. Giving up some things for an education, those things being money, time and family life.

So far so good....

Well college is off to a good start as I had my first class for this unit. Like I stated in a previous post the current unit started 10 June 2009 and goes til 18 Aug 2009. I do know that I will probably be writing some much that I will get carpal tunnel and my computer keyboard will wig out. If there's one thing I don't like to much it is writing but I also feel I need to do more things that take me out of my comfort zone. If writing does that then maybe I can learn to like it. After my first class in College Composition Effective Writing for CJ Students, I must say I like my Prof. and classmates a lot. everyone seems to be on the same page and they all want to help themelves and each other. Well I post more later this week and after my next class on Monday 15 June. Till then be safe and be good.

Thoughts on Visiting Oklahoma

Recently I traveled to Oklahoma to visit family there. Even though I reside in the greatest Nation State in the union Texas, I will admit that I have family outside of 'the Lone Star State'. My daughter and son-in-law along with their two kids (my grandkids) live in Oklahoma along with my dad and Sis-in-law and her husband and new baby. Why would anyone ever consider any state other than Texas to live? Texas is the best, the biggest of the lower 48, and is the only state authorized to split into 5 other states if it ever chooses to do so but why would it. Texas contributes lots of great products, services and ideas to the US and the world. My home town is also the birth place of Texas! Yes not only do I live in Texas I also live in San Antonio home of the Alamo, the birth place and cradle of Texas Liberty and Independence. Again I ask why would anyone move away or want to live anywhere else but Texas. Texas, to put it like my daughter would say about things she thought were great or truly stupendous, is the bomb.
