Tonight was the night of the big Halloween party at the Museum of Spooky Things. Every Halloween all the things in the museum come to life and host their annual Halloween party. Not only do the objects there come to life but many other people come dressed in their best costumes. Everyone was walking around talking and drinking punch while the pumpkins were singing their spooky songs. The witch had her cauldron in the chimney with the fire going and she was boiling water for her famous soup. Each person had to bring a dish to the party and the witch’s soup was always the main dish and the favorite of all the party goers. No one was real sure what she put in the soup but they still ate it anyway because all that mattered was that it was really good. There were certain people that were not allowed into the museum for the Halloween party and nobody ever knew why. Well, this year Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny had a plan to break into the museum to crash the party. The Easter Bunny dressed up as a dog and all he needed to do was get the cauldron out of the chimney so Santa could get in. The bad thing was that everyone seemed to notice that the Easter Bunny was there because he was hopping instead of walking. They all ignored it but when he started getting close to the cauldron, the witch ignored it until he got really close and then she pushed him. He started screaming and screaming and Santa thought this was his clue to come in so he jumped down the chimney. This did not end well because he landed right on top of the Easter Bunny and the cauldron tipped over and there they were laying in the middle of the floor, everyone staring at them.

Next Semester

So since I am a PSEO student I turned in my schedule for next semester on Friday. I had talked with my advisor the week before and got my schedule figured out and he wrote it on the paper and everything. I am actually really excited about this next semester. This semester I have been taking classes everyday but next semester I am only taking Monday, Wednesday, Friday classes, it will be really nice to have Tuesdays and Thursdays off.  I have to be there at 8 all those days but I leave at a decent time each day. I am taking Anatomy and Physiology 2, Psychology, College Algebra, and Medical Terminology. My Anatomy has a lecture and lab to it so it is kind of like two different classes. The one thing I am not excited about at all is my math class because I just really do not like math at all. But I am excited to get it all over with because after this year I will only have two classes left of my gen. eds. I think the thing that I am most excited about is that I graduate after next semester, from high school that is. I get out like a whole month before my high school and before graduation. So I will just sit around, work, and enjoy the freedom. I never thought I would be so excited about graduation but I am. I am kind of nervous though because after this year is over I have to fill out FASFA and I will be paying for the rest of my college. The good thing is that I will be happy doing what I will be doing (hopefully) and it will make paying off loans a lot easier.

We were on our way to a game one day, the football players and cheerleaders. It was a normal, hot, summer day and we were all crammed on the bus. In my opinion the bus driver was a total nut case and the guys were being stupid, with the coach turning around occasionally telling them to shut up. Well, we were on some back roads making our way there, slowly but surely. Next thing we know we here a thud, thud, thud.. of course the tire was flat. We all stayed on the bus while the driver and coach got out to check it out and they were pretty weirded out, I was the only one really paying attention to what they were doing and I noticed it was some weird tooth thing that resembled those star things that ninjas use in all those movies. Coach told us it was okay to get off the bus because we would be here for awhile. The guys all went out to the field and were talking and smoking while us girls got on the top of the bus and tried to get some sun. It seemed like we had been there for like ever because it was so hot out. The bus driver could not get a hold of anyone because the radio was down and everyone else's phones were dead or did not have service. We were sitting there awhile longer and the sun started to set so they made us get back on the bus, that was when I saw something fly over us. It was a huge shadow and when I looked up I was completely creeped out. It was bigger than a bird but smaller than a plane, it almost seemed like a person.

Reader Response 6

I do not really know how I feel about Lantry's article, not the article in itself, but the ads. I think the reading is very helpful for the paper that we are doing though. I think that the ads make it seem like women need to do all these things just to find a husband or lover. It makes it seem like that is the only thing a woman should worry about in her life, granted, these are old ads and that is really all women did back in the day. I still think it is wrong. I think that women should be free to do what they want and not have getting married be their only worry. I also think it is really terrible that they try to push that idea into girls minds as well, they should have fun and not worry about boys. This really explains why girls are the way they are at such a young age. Girls think they need to wear make-up and inappropriate clothing to impress boys. Now, even though I feel this way about the ads, I still think they use this idea in a great way to sell their product. Girls and women are always looking for ways to look better and make men and boys want them. This will always be a concern to women, so if you incorporate into your ad you will most likely always have buyers.

I have been an investrigator for about twenty five years and I think I have seen almost everything but you are always shocked when you see things. Well, it was about ten at night and I get a call that woke me up from a pretty good sleep. That is the one downfall of this job, they just call you whenever they need you. So, I get up and get dressed and head for the scene. When I arrived, there were plenty of cops and nosey people crowding the building. I come up to the chief and he briefed me on what was going on, there was a twenty five year old male victim, dead from electric shock because somehow a radio got thrown into the tub. This was awfully rare because of the location, we were at The Hilton Hotel. I head up to the room and sure enough there he was, in the tub holding the radio. My first thought was to rule out suicide because hee was a pretty wealthy guy and at such a young age it would be crazy. My guess was some bad business with the wrong people or some crazy girlfriend. Next thing I know I thought my guess was right, I looked over and found a long, brown, strand of hair laying on the tile, so I bagged it. I took some finger prints off the door knob and the sink and the knobs to turn the water on and then I headed back down to my truck to get a few more things. As I was walking down the hall a lady stops me and tells me a young man had took off running from the room after she heard a scream and she had not seen him since. And this was where my investigation started.

One day I was out shopping with my wife, whom is 6 months pregnant and showing pretty well. We had been married for a year and were absolutely in love with each other so when we got the news of our little baby boy we were ecstatic. We had been out buying clothes, toys, diapers, blankets, anything for a baby pretty much. We buy a little at a time so that we do not have to spend a lot of money at once. We have been back and forth with the name and we still have not decided but we have never been so happy in our life. Anyway, we were in Babies-R-Us, down the baby toy aisle just laughing and talking about how cute these toys were. We had already picked up a really soft blanket and the car seat that we wanted and were just picking up a few little things and as soon as we were walking out of the aisle, something terrible happened. This petite woman pops up at the end of the aisle and is just staring at me. I knew exactly who it was and so did my wife, but good thing is my wife did not let it phase her because she knew I was happy and we were going to have a baby soon. The woman said, “Hi John, long time no see.” So I replied, “Hi Lori, it’s good to see you. I hope everything is going well.” She replied, “Oh, I’m doing fine, what brings you here?” She had clearly seen my wife was pregnant but I replied anyway, “Well we are having a baby here in 3 months and we are just shopping for it.” Next thing you know Karen turned and walked away really fast, you could see the hurt in her eyes. I felt really bad because 2 years ago I had broken up with her because I just did not feel the same about her and did not want to waste time when I could be finding the woman I really love.

Other Class

So since I am a freshman I had to take that stupid SDE class. It was literally a waste of time and I do not want to be mean about it but dang, it took a lot of time I could have been spending on other classes. It is 8 weeks long and quite possibly the easiest class I’ve ever taken; it is a tie between that and my computer class. I took it online because I did not want to be at the school for another two hour class that I could just as easy take online and do it on my own time. Well that was the only good thing about the class, is the fact that it was online. I could cram it all in on one day or I could do a little bit each day of the week, the only thing that mattered was that it needed to be finished by midnight on Friday, such a piece of cake.  Each week I would have 2 or 3 discussion boards where you would read the instructions and then post a thing that is kind of like a blog post answering the questions. After you post that you usually have to read through 2 or 3 other students post and post a comment on theirs. Then after that you have to create a new post called “reflection” talking about what you learned from that assignment. We would have journal entries in the book that we had to post on there, just for the instructor to see. That is all we did, every week, for eight weeks straight. The biggest waste of time ever, but I came out with an A.
