Under the influence of cold medicine

I am sitting on my bed right now. Well actually, I am in Josh's room, sitting on a chair, not even his bed, wondering why the computer won't let me get to the blog in my room. So as I am sitting here thinking about the class and its goals and expectations, I realize something astonishing. I have never liked to answer questions like, what do you want to accomplish? What goals do you have for the class? What expectations for the teachers? They always seem to keep me going around in circles, because I usually don't think too much about goals. I just go by the goals of the teachers. I am still deciding my goals and expectations while I type this. But, here are some very blundt and general goals that came to mind while the sickness and plague of Madhouse destroy my immune system. So, I will sit here and redeem myself with some broad statements in which my mind is trying desperately to think of, but this is all I have got for you.
  • Expand my vocabulary (use more descriptive terms and flowery language).
  • Create direct questions and correctly document the answers.
  • Write papers with fluidity.
  • Practice using literary devices such as similes, metaphors onomatopoeia's.

I expect to better incorporate the above mentioned goals for the class as well as take in a better understanding and connection with the natives from the Black River Watershed. I want to feel my own connection once I am done with the class and appreciate the land around me.

You wrote your blog pretty flowery and fluidly. Perhaps you should keep a supply of cough syrup at the ready for writing ; )
