Do I like this?
Well since it is a new year I guess I'll begin by admitting two things. Number one.... I think I think I actually enjoy blogging. This statement goes against everything I have ever been lead to believe, and I don't even care about who's reading my blog, mostly it just feels good to see a massive list of posts compiled into one spot. They even look nice, and sort of published. I am even beginning to want people to read my blog, maybe I'll even become famous! So I guess I would like to thank you Mrs. Cardona, without you introducing me to the world of blogging I would never have found that out that I actually enjoy it.
My second piece of news is that I like Coldplay. There I actually said and now anybody in the world can read it. For some reason after disliking COldplay for so long my brain finally decided to give them a try. and it turns out that I really like them.

Dear Slow customers,
I would just like to let everybody know that I work at a gas station, i get paid 8.50$ an hour and I leave at ten o'clock. So just to let all of the old ladies counting change, the balding man who seems to have lost his credit card, the middle aged woman looking for a coupon, and all of the other slow customers, I get paid by the hour. When you take ten minutes to check out at a gas station, do not apologize to me, I am stuck here no matter how long you take, but please turn around, look into the hateful eyes of your fellow shoppers, their angry glares, and the dreaded stink-eye, and think to yourself is that ten cents really worth it? Or maybe you could like let someone else go in front of you while you dig for your money, or run off to go get that thing you forgot, as crazy as that seems, when you as a customer are slow the only person you are hurting is yourself, I couldn't care less if you take 30 seconds or 30 minutes to check out, as long as I'm gone by ten I am a happy camper, but maybe just maybe, glance behind you, into those eyes, look into the grim faces of your fellow shoppers who would enjoy nothing more than giving you a swift kick in the ass, and maybe use a credit card, get rid of your outdated checkbook. Or have your money out and ready, and please don't sit there and look at me like I'm the one causing this. All I am is a lowly cashier, trying to earn money for college all I want is to go home and sleep. So while you count your change, needlessly fill out your check, or dig for that coupon that will save you a nickel, always remember there is always somebody behind you in line.

Risk
Taking risks is something that we do every day. Waking up in the morning is a risk, but it is necessary. Without risk taking our lives would be extremely dull and boring. Sometimes taking a risk works out and sometimes it doesn't, I often take stupid risk's such as driving to quickly or saying the wrong thing, and usually these risks do not work out, they often put me in a bad situation and i have to dig myself out of the hole I have dug. But sometimes taking a risk ends up with a good thing, using a different word in a paper, or writing about a new topic, wearing a funky shirt or similar things often pay off. But basically all that is needed when taking a risk is that you need to weigh the benefits and the consequences, if the benefits outweigh the consequences it is usually good to take the risk. But it is always important to remember that risk is just that, a risk and they can always go either way.

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.
