"Computer time"

When I was in high school, we didn't get computer time very often besides the one or two classes I took in that subject area. But my English teacher did provide some computer time when we were researching for a paper coming up. I know my times in the computer lab were not that useful for me because I spent the whole time on AIM or checking my e-mail and talking to my friends around me. Because he wanted to allow us to talk to our neighbors if we needed help, we spent the whole time talking about what we were doing later that night rather than actually getting any research in. I knew I had a computer at home that I would be able to find all of my research with later so I used my school computer time for fun and put off my research until a later day.
Even in my computer classes, we spent the entire time on AIM and I knew my friend sat in my seat before me so we always left notes for each other on the computer. I did not use my computer time the way the teachers planned.

Technology and Education

I can't imagine living without the technology we have today. I know we take it for granted because even a few years ago we didn't have access to computers and internet available like it is today. I go crazy when my internet is down and I think everything is going wrong in the world.

Technology is really helpful in the classroom for some of the obvious reasons such as showing a video clip to the class to give them a better understanding of what you are teaching them or an easier way for teachers to keep an organized file of their student's records. It is also helpful for teachers when they have a student that has horrible handwriting; my friend from high school had to type everything he turned in because the teachers could never read his writing.

While technology is a very useful tool, it can also distract students and it can not work like you plan. Technology does not always work with you and that can change your lesson drastically so it is important to always plan for the worst and be prepared to finish your lesson without the technology in case it doesn't work out.

Deadly reactions

A shitty fantasy, complex allegory
destroying my fantastically seared fajitas.

Why are we different colors?
But what the question may answer is the heartache of man

I grew up white
with magical dust and polar bears.

America is here to stay
in order to make a home for myself.

For in that sleep of death what dreams may come.
Failed.

Letter to a Friend

Hey whats up??? What did you do this weekend? i went to chicago with jules to visit her family and it was a lot of fun. we went downtown on saturday night and went to a few bars in wrigleyville. we went to bar louie, sluggers, a comedy show and some bar down the street from there. I was pretty drunk by this time so i don't know what it was called. we stayed at her friends apartment and we slept on this tiny twin bed together so it wasn't very comfortable but we went back to sleep when we got back to her parents. there was sooo much drama at her house, julie fought with her mom and sister almost the entire weekend so i sat there very quietly because it was so awkward. while they were fighting we went to woodfield.....i love woodfield!!!! by the time we got back everyone had cooled down so they could talk normally and it made me feel more comfortable. well hope you had a good weekend too, we need to hang out soon!!

SEE YA

THE FORMAT LYRICS

"The First Single"

I can't stand to think about a heart so big it hurts like hell
Oh my god I gave my best but for three whole years to end like this
Well do you want to fall apart? I can't stop if you cant start
Do you want to fall apart? I could if you can try to fix what I've undone
Cause I hate what I've become

[Chorus]
You know me, oh you think you do you just don't seem to see
I've been waiting all this time to be, something I can't define
So let's cause a scene, clap our hands and stomp our feet or something,
yeah something I've just got to get myself over me

I could stand to do without, all the people I have left behind
What's the point in going around when it's a straight line baby, a straight line down
So let's make a list of who we need and it's not much if anything
Let's make a list of who we need and we'll throw it away
'Cause we don't need anyone, no we don't need anyone

[Chorus]

And I hate what I've become.

You know the night life is just not for me
'Cause all you really need are a few good friends
I don't want to go out and be on my own,
You know they started something I can't stand
You leave for the city,
Well count me out
'Cause all this time is wasted on everything I've done

[Chorus x2]

Yeah
Over me
Yeah
Over me

Why do stars shine?

Why do stars shine? Some will say that stars are our ancestors watching over us at night and others think they are fireflies that got stuck in the air. But I think stars are the moon's diamonds. The moon is extremely rich. He used to be very greedy and wanted to keep all of his diamonds to himself. One day he fell in love with a woman on Earth and wanted to share his beautiful diamonds with her. He threw them down towards the earth but he realized that they weren't getting to the earth and his love so he threw more and more.
After throwing all of his diamonds into the air around him he was very disappointed that he still couldn't give them to his love and he started to cry. As he cried the tears reflected the sun's light onto the diamonds and made them shine magnificently. The moon then saw his love look up at them and smile. He knew then that his diamonds would make her happy just the way they are.

More About ME....

So we know by now, that my name is Stacey. I'm from South Haven and I've recently realized that this makes me very odd. I'm still really close with all of my friends from high school basically we all moved from SH to Kalamazoo together. I'm 22 years old and really anxious to be done with school. I love watching movies, usually my friends and I go see at least one movie a week. I went to see "Dan In Real Life" and it was really funny. I plan on moving to California when I'm done with school and I'm really excited but also terrified about it. It really scares me because I still live so close to home that I go home every single weekend (I'm basically a loser) and I won't be able to do this after I move.

Ahh...I have to publish it now so I can let others read it.
