Before and After

 As I reflect back on my very first writing assignment I realized that my writing skills were not a great as I thought they were. I began to find better ways to construct my writing process and over time I took notice of how I began to progress in that area. I can say that I'm not as perfect as I should be but I have gotten better at it over the past few months. I think I have enough knowledge to prepare me to make my corrections for my portfolio this December. *cross fingers*

My Writing Process

Before this EN001 I never really had a writing process! I was the type of person that jumped right in and starting typing/writing on a computer or a piece of paper. Which doesn't seem to work for this class lol. So over the past few months I've taken the time to attempt on perfecting my writing skills. Some of the things I do before I write my essay would be to 1. pick a topic 2. gather information 3. outline(which is something new to me) 3. began to form essay on paper 4. proofread  and 5. print and revise until I feel its strong enough to turn in. Sometimes what I see as strong enough doesn't not meet standards of the teachers. But hey it worth a try"RIGHT?" Not everyone can be perfect on their first try.

 Food Inc changed my life! After watching this movie in class I realized that the way our food is being handled is truly unfair to the humans and the animals(although they end up in most of our stomachs), I believe that animals should still be treated fairly. Like in one part of the movie I saw a worker trying to move a sick cow my pushing it with a tracker thing{I have no idea what the machine is called} Or the part with the little baby chicks. And what's worse is that not even "Vegetarians" are save from this craze! Fruits and Vegges aren't safe anymore. The way farmers....Oh what am I thinking??? I mean workers from big companies(which are not considered farming in my eyes) are poisoning our food supply. smh shame on them! Because of this people are losing their life, going through changes sooner, and becoming over weight!

My Life In The Fast Lane

Each and everyday I go through a draining process from waking up to getting dresses and so on. My mornings consist of few major stages. The first stage begins at 6am when my lovely alarm clock on my phone screams "Sponsor By Teairra Mari"... wow what a wake up call lol! smh  At times I feel like taking that phone and tossing it across the room. But I know without it I would miss classes and alot of text messages, so I guess its okay for now. The next stage is pulling myself out of my cozy bed to shower. well we all know what happens in that process(rubba dub dub). By this time I'm all showered up and its time to get fancy like the rapper drake said in his song "Oh You Fancy Huh?" lol I like that song :) But that means flat irons and makeup.smh (trust me there are gonna be many days such as this week when I could careless) Hey its college everyone has their days "shrug". The following stage is finding something to wear If I did not get my clothes out the night before. so I'm pulling, shoving, and tossing clothing around the room just to find one outfit! You would think I was moving to Paris or something. At some point in my search for clothing I find what I've been looking for. Thank The Lord(making my excited face). After the dressing part is taken care I open my Yahoo and read a few e-mails. Now by this time I probably have like 10 to 15 mins. to have my books places in my bag and then I'm out the door. I do not have a car so metro will be my bff for thee next two semesters. yes I'm super blown about that smh okay now I'm over it! The final stage is hoping on the bus or train to get to school. Most of the time I take the train because its 10 times faster. other then that lack of food in my system the rest of the will be smooth sailing as long as I walk into the right class lol

What's On The Menu?

Today I had the strangest craving for some "Chipotle Mexican Grill". So after class was over I decided to head over to chipotle for a steak burrito bowl. It felt like heaven on earth when I took that first bit! The bowls consisted of steak, rice, lettuce, corn, tomatoes, sour cream and shaded cheese. I also had a minute made lemonade to go along with my burrito bowl. Throughout the day I also had a few other items to snack on such as lay's chips (sour cream), a bottle of water and a little Debbies cup cake. Later on that night I had dinner with my mother at “Ruby Tuesday’s”. There I ate more food but this time it had consisted of a salad. In the salad there was lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cumbers, cheese, bacon and some dressing. My main course was a normal burger and fries which I covered with ketchup. The burger was covered with cheese tomatoes, ketchup pickles and lettuce. And along with that meal I had a sprite soda. I am a person that LOVES to eat a lot sometimes it’s more of unhealthy items that spark my attention mainly because of how good it taste. Like OMG who wouldn’t enjoy a bag of chips and a chipotle bowl once in awhile? I know I would lol
