Snow

It finally snowed, I woke up Saturday morning and saw the first flakes beginning to fall, i assumed that it would end quickly, but I was very wrong, it snowed all day and into the night. Although the snow did making driving a bit more complicated and I was forced to come home early, it is impossible to be angry when the ground is coated and thoughts of winter and Christmas swirl in my head.
     It is inconceivable that there is anybody who dislikes snow, without snow our winters would be boring and gray, instead we are graced with the beauty and silence that snow provides on a frigid winter night. And yes we all know that snow can be a pain, driving in it is like trying to navigate an invisible maze, and their is nothing worse than having to wake up early to shovel the stairs on a Saturday morning. But putting all of these nuisances aside it is impossible to imagine a Christmas morning without snow on the ground, Every Christmas that I have been alive for has included presents, a tree, breakfast, and most importantly snow. So next time it snows instead of complaining and being cold imagine a winter without snow, imagine waking up on Christmas morning and seeing the sad dead grass, and the gray sky and trees. Without snow our famous Minnesota winters would be little more than a few extremely cold gray months, as opposed to the winter wonderland we have.

ummmmm.

So this post is a little late... I apologize, but at this point I've missed a couple of blogs and maybe I'm actually beginning to miss blogging? I don'd know what it is but something about seeing your work in a format that looks like it is published gives me a warm feeling, even though all I did was hit publish post. Also the space on the page feels incomplete, so even though I won't get points for this, I am going to blog anyway.
     As the first term of AP Composition comes to an end, I can honestly say that i have learned a lot about writing and myself. And overall I do enjoy, after taking this class I think about the things I am writing and saying and I always wonder if there is a more direct way to say things. I also noticed while watching television I find myself trying to figure out the arguments the adds are throwing at me,or I here an argument and the first thing that goes through my head is "that's definitely an appeal to emotion" or something similar. There have been other changes in my writing style and thinking processes due to AP Comp but I am positive that all of them have been for the better.
