Iphones

Up until recently I have never owned what most would call "a really cool phone". For the last two years I had this lame LG phone that I bought of ebay for seventy dollars. Its way too expensive to buy a phone when you are not renewing your contract. A couple months ago I accidently broke my phone. I got really lucky that my mom came down to visit me the next day and bought me and Iphone. Since I have had this phone I cannot image living without it. I have had a lot of mishaps since I have had it though. For some reason when I have a nice, expensive phone I am way more prone to lose it. I have all of my music, can look up anything on google at anytime, and I am always connected to Twitter and Facebook. Yeah, it's pretty awesome.

project 4

We have been peer reviewing our final project for this class. We are to be researching a topic that we are interested in, create a thesis statement, and support our thesis by writing in genres that we aren't familiar with. At first I thought this sounded so confusing and didnt really know where to start. I decided to do my project on the dangers of prescription drugs because this topic hits home for me. My older brother's lifelong best friend has been struggling with this addiction for about a year. At first it seemed innocent but as time went on it got worse. He started losing a lot of weight, ruining relationships with his girlfriend and family, and even got fired from his job. Through all this the only person who he never grew upset with was my brother. My brother knew this and I could see how hard it was to watch his best friend since 3rd grade being so stupid. My brothers friend is still working against his addiction today.

Thoughts

I can definately say that I enjoyed our much needed Thanksgiving break. The week before break started I felt so overwhelmed with school work. I had been home twice before break but everytime I went back I didnt get to see many of my friends because they are all off at college too. I have only been at college for three months but I feel as though I have already lost contact with so many people from high school. I cant really say I'm surprised because people told me thats always how it happens. Of course I still keep in contact with my very close friends but I never talk to those people I always talked to in classes or the neighbor kids that I grew up with. As the years go on I know I will lose contact with more and more people but I hope I still stay close with my best friends.
