There are many powerful images that I have seen in my life, especially those that you have to think about to see. Like the other day I was in my dorm room and the sun was shining through the cracks of the blinds and the suns rays created a perfect cross with its light in the center of the door. I thought it was pretty coll. Many of the images or views that I see around me are god moments. However I also see a lot of other signs of things that may be coming up in the future. Just the way I can sense things or see things at the end of the day can let me know that the next day is going to be just as good as the present day or even better. The power of images and visions cal also be in dreams. This may sound a little bad but my roommate had been giving me a very hard time over the last few weeks of school but things escalated and he was caught with drug use in the dorms, I didn’t want to get in trouble as well so I was nervous and wanted him out. Yesterday he was removed from housing and I had seen that this was something that was going to happen and I would keep getting relieved and excited because he would get kicked out in my dreams. Its kind of like psychic that I knew he was going to leave but with all of the other problems, it looked as if his time was coming anyway.

Blog #1.5


 My experiences with research assignments include constructing a fully documented research paper in both eleventh and twelfth grade. These term papers included lengthy research and were around ten pages each. One of my term papers was taking a book by an American author and then analyzing various aspects of their writing medium. My author was Joyce Carol Oates who wrote blind water. The book was about a drunk and irresponsible senator vacationing. This senator was drinking and driving with this girl he hooked up with and drove him and her off a bridge into black water. The senator was aware of his actions and did not want to get in trouble after making it out alive from the car as it submerged from the black water. The worst part was that the senator was too scared to help his drowning girlfriend and let her die. His actions illustrated that even people in high places can’t be trusted.
Writing is interesting to me but takes a lot of work. I feel as if I spend far too much time working and editing my papers because I am paranoid that they are awful. I like creative writing more than I like research oriented writing because I can express creativity rather than analyzing facts. I also feel that I have to spend much time working with information that I am not familiar with yet. Constructing research analysis can also be harder than writing on your own opinions, as well as the fact that you have to make sure you properly cite your sources.
