life sucks

I am so ready for school to be over with. I am WAY too stressed out. Being sick on top of this doesn't help either. Unfortunately my summer is not looking great for me... I have to take summer classes and work, but there's a problem: I can't find a job. It's so aggrevating and annoying that there are not many job opportunities out there and I refuse to work a lowly high school teenagers job. I am done with those b.s. jobs. so yeah.. my summer is gonna pretty much be no thing but depressing... life sucks. I heard something tonight I liked .. hah
"If college is the best years of our lives.. then I must have a shitty life ahead of me"
hah! so true.. so true.. anyways.. i guess it's time for bed..

society is a shame

so tonight I drove down to the coast to go to the crawfish festival. they had a local band play and they were really good, stereohype. i am really starting to get into the whole band scene, its fantabulous! However, at this festival there are always drunk idiots and so they kind of ruined the evening.. but screw them! This 'dad' was drunk off his ass with his little boy who couldn't have been older than 2 right? well they threw things into the audience *frisbees* and one of them landed on the chair in front of me and my friend so he grabbed it. Well then the drunk 'dad' leaned over and start cursing and was like "that's really f#$*&^% great of you dude, take it from my son you little *insert your choice of profanity here*" So he was like look i'm sorry and gave the little kid the frisbee I mean COME ON! its like $2.00 at the store is it really that big of a deal? and if he really wanted to be a good father he would but the effin' beer down and spend quality time with his little boy.. I mean..what a jerk! I think I officially hate rednecks and the south .. I mean It's so unfair of me to say that based on one person but it wasn't just him the whole place was filled with these types of people! what a shame!

reading response 2

Stewart, Carrisse. Hancock Bank. Personal Interview. 19 April 2007.
Summary: I conducted a phone interview with Carrisse Stewart who works in the human resources department of Hancock Bank in Gulfport, Mississippi. The questions pertained to online college degrees and how they may affect the hiring and job processes.
Importance: This is important because it gives me a view on what companies in real life are looking for (or not looking for) in employees. This is also a different view on online education. All sources about online education and jobs are pretty much opinions, so I have first hand, the opinion of an actual employer.
Connections: This is strictly opinions of a credible individual. In class we have talked briefly about it, but not as in depth as my interview covered.
Supporting Source: Her opinions may help my paper argue against or for online education. And may also help me decide what stand point I want to take on the situation.
Argumentative Source: I can not critique her opinion, therefore this does not apply to my source.

Reading Response 1

University of Phoenix. 15 April 2007. .
Summary: This website is the official website of the online Phoenix University. It has information about admissions, credibility, courses available, cost etc. There is not just one specific section of this website I can use, rather every aspect mentioned on this web page.
Importance: this is an important site for my paper because it gives me information on the criteria I am basing my paper on.
Connections: We talked about the University of Phoenix online in class briefly, but there is more details to the way it is operated and managed than we discussed.
Supporting Source: this source can be used to either disprove or verify my criteria for choosing a good college.
Argumentative Source: This is an official website of a university, therefore I can not critique it because I do not know enough information on the subject. The only thing I could suggest was having more clearly stated information and easier navigation.
