Random Ramblings by Kevin

Sup ya'll? Anyone cringing from my intro yet? Kevin here. It seems the ice is going to be a blessing for me. No school today, I'm off work, and Harrisburg High is closed as well, so I have the day to get caught up on some work. So far, I have completed essay two, and have gradedthe student essays. Did anyone find that this set was even harder to read than the last set? Not only was the student's handwriting worse, put the photocopies were more difficult to read as well. I particularly found it interesting that the last set had a paper with Clinton as a hero, and this set has Bush for a hero. Where did these kids come from? Even as a high school student, I had particular disdain for politicians, enough so that I surely would never choose a politician as a hero. But hey, to each his own, and like Dr. Phegley said, it is rather amazing that these students are even considering politics. Is anyone else grossly behind on the reading? I know I am. With the snow days, and being sick, and blah, blah, blah, I've gotten so behind. I really hate school in the winter. Actually, I really hate winter period. I can't ride my bike in the snow, and when I do I ride I freeze my ___ off. Did you know that in Alaska, riders add trike kits to their bikes with chains on the tires and keep riding even in the snow and ice? That's hard core. But, alas I digress. I found essay two a bit easier to get through than essay one. Its easier to talk about your philisophy about whatever, than to talk about the inherent process by which you achieve something. Talking about my writing process was kinda like trying to explain how you know something...generally speaking, you just know it. Anyway, in essay two, I spoke about the importance of writing in communication and self expression. Hope I'm on task, what do you think? That's it for now, I know this entry is somewhat flighty, and yes, I'm probably just trying to get something down, but I do hope to get caught up on reading and have something of substance to say. Be safe everyone, peace and grease, Kevin.
