Group Project

For my groups project our topic is going to be the educational use of video games in the classroom. I think we might do an informational video informing the public, teachers, administrators, and parents on how video games could be used in the class room. Also how teachers along with students will benefit from the video games and how the attitudes of students can possibly rise due the fact they could possibly be having fun while learning.

Rylee

One thing i for sure enjoy most about visiting home is getting to see my dog Rylee. When i arrive home i can usually find her smashing her over sized tail into the wall, waiting for me at the door. Rylee is a mixed dog, we are not sure of what, but she's white and as big as a lab. She has a brown mask that covers her face, along with a brown ear and a white ear spotted with brown freckles. She's a pretty cool dog that pretty much just plays with anything that will amuse her, lay by the front door to sun herself and occasionally bark at a rolling leaf through the yard.

Naps

I would have to say that napping is the best part of my day. No matter when it occurs or even if its by accident, napping is very enjoyable. I love napping because one I prolly could always use the little bit of extra shut eye since I never seem to sleep at night. Even if the nap is only a 20 min. one it's still well worth it. There is the downfall of the over three hour nap, because its like you pretty much just got a whole nights sleep causing me to stay up even later than normal.

I dont know about anyone else but i sure am glad this week is over. it seemed kinda long to me. i had a never ending work load that i just kept putting off making the week seem even longer. i need to become better at completing my tasks when they are given and not waiting until the last possible minute to finish. six straight hours at the library is no fun at all

Sleep

it seems to me that day after day i seem to be getting less and less sleep. the funny thing about it is im usually never tired because of it. either naps are holden' up for me or im an insomniac. Dont get me wrong a love my sleep but not sleeping is just more fun. more time to do stuff.

Meal Plans

Here at ball state I feel that the meal plan set up is bullshit. I feel this way because we sign up for our selected meal plan, pay our money, and then the school tells us if we want to have money to eat a meal we HAVE to eat between this time and that time. That is not how it should work. We payed that money for food we shouldn't get it taken away if we decide not to eat at that particular or cannot make it due to a class. This is just another way for the school to take our money

Its now 7th week into school and i still do not really have a daily agenda. With my days being complete opposites its hard to wake up a decent time everyday to get everything accomplished. My school work always get taken care of, but it takes almost the entire day when I'm not in class.

ISOM

Im currently a business student here at BSU. I am taking ISOM 125, which is suppose to be the intro course to all the ISOM classes. I was told the class was suppose to be about learning microsoft office, but it hasn't been anything close to that. We mostly talk about businesses and information systems and inventory. We have used the computers probably a total of 5 times and now are starting access. Other ISOM students used the computers within the first weeks of school. having covered little material that we are suppose to learn on the computers the mid term is approaching and im unsure what i should do about that class since we haven't been covering the material we are going to be tested over. The first TA we had in class quit, a student in the class said he saw the TA and asked where he had been. the TA told him that he had quit, because the material that we were mainly learning was the warm up questions for the thrid year of ISOM. he then told the student that if he would have know the class was going to be this way he would have advised students to drop the class and take it another time. think i should drop it and take it next semester?

adjusting

we are now into the full swing of college heading into the 7th week. classes have had assignments due and tests given out. i was just wondering how people felt about talking a quiz online, handing in assignments via blackboard, and receiving virtually all information through email. its been a new and at times good learning experience for me, but i wish assignments were handed out in class rather than having to find and print out off of blackboard. that way the criteria of the assignment can be fully understood during class.

rain

since sunday it has been gloomy and raining off and on. when it rains though, boy it does poor. ive been lucky enough not to have been caught in any of these downpours. since ive been here i have been told that muncie is a very depressing place when it comes to bad weather. in the winter time the sun doesn't show for weeks, with gray skies being drug across the campus. the skies have also been this way for the rain too. yes its depressing when bad weather comes, but it usually quickly leaves. does it seem to anyone else that it just seems to linger in muncie?

College Football

college football season is by far the time of the year. great games and great excitement week in and week out of the season. my favorite NCAA team is the notre dame fighting irish. having only grown up about 20 mins away from the stadium i have attended many of the games and enjoy the tailgate atmosphere.

Fitness

I am a fan of working out and enjoy it a lot. Although I haven't really done much of it since I have been here, it is still a good time. Does anyone else like to lift or that needs someone to lift with? Also what are probably the best time to go lift so it's not too busy.

Best Place to eat on campus?

being a food lover and loving to get the most food for the price we are allowed to spend is a challenge sometimes. any suggestions on where to go for a good meal every time that is a for sure stomach filler?

After class

after class im sure everyone gets straight down to doing their homework and studying hard, but when you are not working hard what are u up to down here in this lovely town of muncie and of the beautiful campus of ball state?

Free Time

In my free time i usually just like to hang out, but it usually doesnt last long because im use to being busy and on the go even if there is no plan. Wondering around and jus finding stuff to do is always fun in a new environment. Pick up games are always fun, backyard football, rat hockey, volleyball, tossing a frisbee around just things to pass the time. I also enjoy lifting i dont really have a reason why i just do i guess.
