Rough Draft

I started my rough draft on Sunday, and it was going really well. I feel like I found sources that really supported my thesis!  I know we only needed to have 2 pages done by tomorrow, but I just wrote my whole paper. It's 3 pages, ending a little on the 4th page. Even though i hate when other people read my papers out loud, I'm hoping we have people peer edit our papers again. I really like it because it helped me realize not only what I did wrong, but reading others helped e see how I could also take my paper in a certain direction.  It definitely going to be weird going to class tomorrow, i'm so used to only have only class in the morning now. haha. I'm just glad that I'm finished up with my rough draft, I hope everyone likes it! 

Sick

I was so excited for this weekend! There was so much going on for Halloween it was going to be a fun-filled weekend. But of course, by body decides it wants to get sick.  I was all achy, had  sore throat, and a headache....totally not fun. So for the past two nights I've been lounging around in sweats, no makeup, and wrapped up in a million blankets. I was feeling so bad that my mom came and picked me up for the night and let me stay home. It was nice to have my mom around to really take care of me because in the dorm I had no medicine or anything to help me feel better. Going home was the best idea ever, I got a really good nights sleep in my big bed and took so cold medicine to help. Now I feel 100% better and am so excited to head back to Kalamazoo later on tonight! My friend Emily and I are going to be twitter birds, can't wait to show it off!

Conference Time.

I'm kind of looking forward to having class cancelled the next class periods, and having a conference to review our paper. Yeah, it's cool to not have class, but that's not the main reason why i'm excited about this set up. I'm really excited because I think this will be really helpful for me because I get one on one with the teacher to really tell me what I'm doing good, and what I need to fix. Because before, we would write the paper on our own, and do separate activities in class so there really wasn't much time to get help from the teacher unless we went to her office hours.  I'm really excited that she decided to do this especially for this paper because it can get a little confusing on what research we need to do, and how we need to style our paper. Even though this writing is a bit tougher, i'm excited for it. I'm excited because I'm analyzing one of my favorite bands, all time low and one of my favorite songs, therapy. It's a lot easier to write about something when i'm passionate about it, so I hope this paper turns out great!

Pretty Lake

Well, this Saturday all the new members in my pledge class went out to this place called Pretty Lake. All new members go here to bond and really get to know each other.....and of course it down pours. It was freezing cold, and after 5 hours of being in the rain all our layers were soaked through. Because of this, we had to leave early and we didn't even get to go on the high ropes course, which is everyone's favorite part :( Thankfully thought we will be rescheduling it and going back in December! Regardless of the horrible weather, it was still a lot of fun and we definitely boned as new members. I love my pledge class ♥

Revised Thesis

1. Therapy by All Time Low 

In this song I think this person is trying to say how they are different, and nobody understands them and how everyone tells them they need "Therapy". Society for the most part don't accept people who are different, and I think that's what this person is trying to convey.  It's trying to say that "Therapy" isn't for people who are different  don't try to conform them to be like everybody else. Trying to do so can cause more harm than good and can lead to suicide. In a sense, society is asking for this person to get psychotherapy, but to this person, they are tired of being told they are cray/weird. The "therapy" they want is to be accepted and loved for who they are because they hate being told that they needs psychotherapy  they aren't mentally insane, they are just different. 

Thesis

For our upcoming analysis I have narrowed it down to a few ideas for songs of my favorite band. Lets me tell the thesis's I have created and let me know which one would be the best to work with!

1. Therapy by All Time Low
I'm asking what is Therapy?
In this song I think this person is trying to say how they are different, and nobody understands them and how everyone tells them they need "Therapy". Society for the most part don't accept people who are different, and I think that's what this person is trying to convey.  It's trying to say that "Therapy" isn't for people who are different  don't try to conform them to be like everybody else. Trying to do so can cause more harm than good and can lead to suicide.
2. Time-Bomb by All Time Low
What is the time-bomb in his hands?
This song is talking about a relationship between two people.It's about how two people are almost in a relationship that the rest of the world, or there family and friends don't agree with. This relationship is destructive. They know it's something that won't last, or shouldn't last but they both love each other so much that they just can't let each other go. They are trying to fight the "bomb" and pull together.
3. Lullabies by All Time Low
What is the candle?
This candle is supposed to be the symbolism of life. This is about a brother who is very angry that he committed suicide, he feels lost, angry, and upset. He feels kind of at blame for what happened to him, and just wishes he could see him again.

Soony's Blue's

At first when I opened up this reading, I was like are you kidding me?! It was so long! But as I started gaining more understanding of the writing, I began to like it. I never would have thought that a writing like this could have such underlying meaning. For example the use of darkness in the story, and the repeated phrase of "I didn't know why". Once you realized all this underlying meanings everything becomes more clear, and you can almost see a theme or a reason behind every phrase and the piece of writing overall. Analyzing Soony's Blues I thought was very beneficial. It's a great example of what we are going to be having to do for our next  paper, so now I feel a lot more confident about what i'm going to do and how i'm going to do. What I've learned for this assignment is, professors don't give you busy work anymore. When they want you to read something, do it because it will be beneficial in the end.
