Thanksgiving and Black Friday!!

Thanksgiving break has finally come to an end :( I had a really good time with friends and family. We went to my grandmas on Thursday and ate lots and lots of gooood food. I went to my friend Jenna's house Thursday night so that we could go out shopping on black Friday. We do it every year now. We started at 11 p.m at Walmart to get video games and movies for my brother. I got the movie Blind Side and The Hangover for $5 each! After that we went to Target and we waited outside for 3 hours!! I will never do that again. It was way to cold. We did get what we wanted though. After Target we headed up to greenwood but we were not there very long because we both were really tired. I went home and slept for most of the day. Overall I had a really good break with friends and family and I cant wait until Christmas break in about 3 weeks!!! :)

Thanksgiving Argument

The argument I choose to reflect on was an argument over black Friday Shopping. One thing we always do on Thanksgiving after dinner or before dinner is look at all the adds. My aunt is a huge black Friday shopper. She loves the deals she can get and loves the adrenaline rush from all the people. My mom on the other hand hates black Friday. She would rather buy it at normal price than have to deal with all the people. They got into a discussion about it. My aunt gets the credibility ( ethos) because she is a dedicated black Friday shopper. The Pathos would be each of their own emotional opinion or appeals on black Friday.  The logos would be the reasoning they use to persuade their own opinion. Why they choose one way or another.

BREAK

Ohhh I needed this break so badly. These last couple weeks have been so stressful. I cant wait to spend time with my family, eat, and shop :) I came home yesterday because a couple of my classes got canceled for Monday and Tuesday or "Fruesday" I met my mom in indy yesterday on my way home and we did some early Christmas shopping and went to dinner. It was fun and I love spending time with my mom. This morning I went to church, I didn't realize how nice it was to be back in my hometown. I feel like this break is going to fly by but Im going to enjoy it while i can :)

Good ol Movies

I love it when old movies are on tv. I am watching Meet the Fockers right now. I forgot how funny this show was. I still like Meet the Parents better though. To me whenever movies are on tv they seem so much better then when you watch them on a dvd, I dont know why but it just seems that way.

Red Dress Gala

Last night was Alpha Phis "Red Dress Gala". It one of our philanthropy events that raises money to support cardiac care for women. There was a dinner and a silent auction with lots of cool goodies :) People kept out bidding my mom so she finally gave up ha. It was a really fun night. We all wore red dresses to support cardiac care. I cannot wait to see what our other philanthropy event will be like :)

Long Week

This week has been soo long it seems like. I had a group speech, and two tests. It was not fun at all but I will have to say Im glad its over. The good thing is is that all my hard work payed off because i did good on both of the tests and Im pretty sure i did good on the speech too. He hasn't posted the grades yet but I felt pretty good about it. One of my tests was in History and the other one was in Geology. I am not a fan of either of those classes but you gotta do what you gotta do I guess.

Alaska Politics

Sen. Lisa Murkowski appears to be winning the write-in campaign.  Republican challenger Joe Miller has filled a federal complaint arguing that ballots with misspellings of Murkowski's name should not be counted in her favor.  Miller argues that the election officials' announcement saying they will interpret voters' "intent" in cases of misspellings violates state law.  For more information, go to the following sites:

Freezing Friday!!!

I had an 8 am class this morning and when I was in the bathroom this morning they said the temperature outside was only 24 degrees with a chance of flurries!! We had all this nice warm weather for October and now they are saying snow. I like some snow but I don't know if I'm ready for it to be snowing in the first of November! I haven't seen any flurries yet but its only 11 am so we will see :)

Birthday Dinner

Well my actual Birthday was on Monday the 25th but my boyfriend and I were both so busy that we didn't celebrate it until this last Sunday which was Halloween. Everything he did was a surprise. We went to Indy and he took me to dinner at a place called the Oceanaire. Its a nice seafood place and i loooove shrimp. After dinner he surprised me with a carriage ride. I have always wanted to go on one so i was super excited. I couldn't have asked for a better birthday!! :)
