Stress under the finals

For these finals i started off really stressed out. Wondering when I would find the time to study and how I was going to do on them. Affter taking two finals and being told I don't have to take a final and will still leave the class with a B I am not as stressed. I realize that I can't really change a lot of things and it doesn't help to be stressed.

What is Right


 I am passionate about doing what is right. Doing what is right is very important. I see someone drop money I give it back to them, I will help people out in need and do my best to treat all people equally. I offer homeless people food. I treat everyone with the same amount of respect and kindness that I aspect in return. I know we are all children of the Lord and all equal so I do what is right and treat others the right way. I don't cheat, or lie, or steal, I know all these things are wrong so I don't do them. Doing what is right isn't always easy; I haven't always done what is right. That is part of my life that I regret and I am trying my hardest to undo what I have done. Doing what is right hasn't won me any popularity contests. I see someone being mistreated who can't help themselves I stick up for them, I help them out. Doing what is right is very important to me and I am very passionate about following that lifestyle.

God and family

2 more things that i am passionate about is god and family. God plays an important role in my life, with Him I know all things are possible. I do my best to do all things through Him. my family is also very important. My family means the world to me and I try to do my best for them, they are the reason I went back to school. They give me strength to do the things that I need to do to be successful in life. God and my family help me with my everyday decisions in life they guide me to do what is right and to help others in their time of need. God and my family get all my love they are very important in my life and they are the reasons I live my life the way that I live it. God guides my family, and my family help guide me to God.

Capital One

I am writing about Capital One No Hassle Miles credit card. Capital one reminds me of the Vikings in the Capital One commercials. It also reminds me of The Baldwin brother that does the other Capital One commercials. Capital One was one of the few credit card companies I had to file bankruptcy for. Capital one what’s in your wallet? That saying has been around for a while now and it has made them famous. The no Hassle miles card allows you to earn airline miles with no blackout dates and allows you to fly to hundreds of destinations worldwide. Capital one has made many interesting commercials that are still popular today.

Elements of a lie
I was once stuck on a roller coaster for a half hour upside down. I was ten years old it was my first trip to World's of Fun in Kansas City. We waited in line for half over an hour and I was getting really nervous. This was to be my first Roller Coaster that I got to ride. I went with my dad. My mom and sisters didn't want to ride. I remember the roller coaster going up and peaking at the top of the hill. As the roller coaster made it's descent I remember closing my eyes. As the roller coaster started going through the loop it suddenly stopped. I was in the middle of the carts and it stopped with me hanging upside down. I remember being really scared and thinking I was going to fall out. My dad was beside me and he told me to stay calm that help would be on its way. I remember looking up, in wich this case was down and seeing another car stopped on the hill going up. I wondered why we couldn't of been in that cart, or not on this ride at all. The blood was really rushing to my head at this point and I was feeling ill. Mind you this story is true. I am only ten years old and really scared. Ten minutes have gone by and still no signs of anyone, I begin to wonder what is taking so long. My dad is telling me to stay calm. At about fifteen minutes we hear someone on a loud speaker tell us help will be on the way.  After about twenty minutes we see the first people come in to help. they are all wearing harnesses and making their way up to us. They remove the people one the ends first and help them out of their seats. At this point I am about to scream for help. getting to my dad and me takes a little more time. My dad being a big man it takes two guys to help him out of his seat. Then my dad helps me out of my seat. I had no clue this was actually the easier part.  Now we must walk the quarter mile of catwalks and ladders to make out way back to the depot where we can get off. Looking over the edge is scary. My fear of heights at ten years old is really kicking in. After quite a few minutes of walking we make it back to the depot. My mom looks just a scared as i do. My sisters and my parents and me all hug, glad this experience is over.

conflict

A conflict that I have right now is spending time with my family. I love my family but it is hard to find the time to see them. With work and school it isn’t easy to find the time to see them. Most of the time I hold my son or daughter and we just fall asleep on the couch. When it comes to my wife to be Sarah I spend the time talking to her about our day. I am beginning to think about my family now. I plan on having a date with Sarah tonight we will get a sitter and just go somewhere together talk and have dinner just the two of us. Then when I get home I will spend as much time with my two children tell they both fall asleep. I will be off of work for four days, I took some vacation time before the holiday rush hopefully that will allow me to spend some time with my family. Without the time with my family I can feel more stress in my day. My family relieves me of stress and cheers me up and makes me happier. This conflict has affected me sleep as well. I am tired from school and work and when I get home I still try to find the time for my family. It isn't very easy for me being a full time student, working 30+ hours, and still spend time with my family. I sacrifice to try to make a better life for my family. When I am done with m degree I should be able to get a higher paying job and not have to worry about finances or money troubles.

My dad doesn’t spend the time with me that he should. All he does is go to school and work. All I want is to spend the day with him playing games and talking with each other. I love my dad and sometimes it feels that he doesn't love me. My brother and I just want attention from dad and he won’t give it to us. I wonder if he knows how hard this is on us. Mom, Jacob and I never get to see him. He spends too much time away from our family. We all need a day when we just can spend the time together doing something fun. I want to go to Chuck E. Cheese one of these days this week since he is on vacation.

As a fly on the wall I see a dad trying to provide for his family. The dad is missing out on some things but he is trying. He is kind of missing the bigger picture right now. He wants better for his family but he is missing out on something’s with his family. I see a loving family who needs more time together. That is just my opinion from a fly on the wall.

Pigeon Impossible

I am Walter Becket a junior agent with the CIA. Sitting here enjoying my bagel, a pigeon comes up to me and starts bugging me. I just opened a top secret briefcase handed down from the President himself. I throw the pigeon a bite and he does not respond. He attacks me and starts biting at my head. I feel this pigeon must be possessed or driven for this bagel in some way. After throwing the bagel I discover the pigeon had a much darker purpose. He has taken control of my briefcase; his plans are not known at this time. He has managed to engage the flying mechanism and is shooting at people; one person I fear has lost his life to this monster of a being. I will try to bargain with this cruel creature. I will appeal to his animalistic impulses. I offer the pigeon the bagel he has dropped in hopes to save some innocent lives. He has stopped firing thank goodness. I have got him to land the craft and hope to bargain with him. This pigeon is smarter than he looks I must have a ploy to get him from the briefcase before something more dire happens. My ploy hasn't worked I must try trickery, as I throw the bagel in the air he is momentarily distracted. I make my move throwing him from the briefcase. As the bagel lands in inveterately lands on the missile launch button activating one of many missiles hidden throughout our country. The missile in the Washington Monument launches, its course Moscow, Russia. This bird this creature, has caused an action with severe consequences. IF this missile hits we will have a swift and deadly reaction that will last and many more people will die as a result. I must stop this missile from hitting its target. I man the briefcase and fly towards the missile. As I am flying I notice the same damn pigeon flying behind me. This pigeon must be more evil than I could ever imagine. As i am prepare to fire and shoot down this missile the pigeon makes his move, nearly knocking me off my course and speeding into the missile. The evil creature landed on the briefcase, one more death to save thousands if not millions is a sacrifice I will be willing to take. As I try to fire, "damn out of ammo." I arm the onboard missiles and prepare to fire again. The psycho creature makes no move; I open the briefcase releasing the crucified bagel. The pigeon follows the bagel as it plummets to earth. I fire hitting my intended target and float back down to earth. Saving thousands or millions of lives and quietly walk away. As the missile hits the earth it kills the crusade pigeon. I smirk and walk away.

would you rather

Would you rather be submerged in mayonnaise tell I suffocated or would I rather be stoned to death by pickles. If I had the choice I would pick to submerge in mayonnaise tell I suffocated. I think suffocating would be faster and less painful. Mayonnaise is thick so it would still take a while to die. Being stoned by pickles would take a while because most pickles are not very dense and don’t weigh very much so it would take a while to really hurt you. Both deaths would not be pleasant and if I could choose a third option I would choose not to die by either of those means. With the mayonnaise I could try to eat my way out. Eating my way out would be one of the most disgusting ways to try and survive but I would have to try.

Would you rather have living eyebrows that crawled all over your face or leave a trail of paprika wherever you go? I would pick the trail of paprika because I hate the feeling of things on my face. The trail of paprika would come in handy around holidays and other occasions making deviled eggs. I wouldn’t have to pay for paprika ever again. The trail would also be somewhat of an inconvenience having to clean up all the time. Having the trail would be better than feeling something crawling on my face all the time. I would also never have to pay for paprika again. Maybe I could sell the paprika and make some money on the side. 


Would you rather look like Yasir Arifat or have the Imperial March play every time you entered the room? I would pick the Imperial march; I would not want to see the face of such a horrible dictator every time I looked in the room. With the Imperial march everyone would look at me when I entered a room. I would demand everyone’s attention and no one would be able to look away. This would have drawbacks entering certain rooms but it would still be better than looking like a dictator.

Would you rather sleep between the mattress and box spring or listen to Funky Town every time you hear music? I would pick to sleep between the mattress and box spring every night because I don't get much sleep anyway so there isn't anything really different. I wouldn't want to hear this song the rest of the time because I have important events in my life coming up and I would want to hear the music that means something to me. One song for the rest of my life would get old real fast. At least with the mattress I could catch a nap every once in a while somewhere else.

cupcakes no wait cookies.

Cupcakes are a delicious snack that is a cake slice in the palm of your hand. Cupcakes are not a very healthy snack but it is delicious. I enjoy eating cupcakes. Cupcakes are a wonderful baked good that everyone can enjoy. Cookies on the other hand are flat and still good in their own part. Cupcakes and cookies are both good snacks and it was hard to choose between them. I would enjoy getting cupcakes if we win this competition. The kind of cupcakes you make matter as well as the type of cookie. Both have their own special ones. Macadamia nut white chocolate chip cookies are amazing, and most type of cupcakes is good too. Now that I think about it I think I want cookies instead of cupcakes. I am changing my vote I want cookies. A white chocolate macadamia nut cookie is my vote.
