Interviewing fun

Recently I received the request to complete the assignment of conducting an Interview with a person of my choice, to find if they use writing a lot in their everyday life. It being a request instead of a command meaning that if I don't do it, IM the one who is going to suffer not my professor. The assignment seemed complicated at first and then proved itself later with the unclear of how the paper was to be formatted. I had it completely wrong when it came to turn in my rough draft. Oh what a disappointment, all the whole two hours it took me to speak with Kris, and compile my thoughts into a nice organized little grouping, and then switch it from papers and my brain to my wonderful electronic brain. After my, well it only seemed like 2 hours, wow time flag when your having fun! No but seriously it ended up being the best piece ever, stop the presses I deserve an award for best interview ever, EVER! Then came the turning in of the piece. So proud of it I turned it in and then it happened. Its not supposed to be in that format? Ah! All of a sudden my award winning piece of writing was the worst thing on the planet. I was ashamed, I thought about running it down to the land fill kicking it in the face and burying it with the rest of the garbage. It turned out it was in the wrong format, and I wasn't paying attention of how to put it in the right format. BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD. I sat back down, recompiled my thoughts, and came up with a new strategy, START OVER. Well maybe not that far but back to the beginning stages. I reorganized everything, took the questions out of the old format, then reasserted them into my new idea. One hour and tautened-nine minutes later, I have somewhat of an idea that it might be going smoothly. Then tragedy strikes, I need some food. So I break my great work ethic, and head for the fridge to stop this horrific starving of my rumbling stomach. I rummage through the fridge for a few minutes, damn nothing. Then to the pantry, damn nothing again. Through the cupboards down to the basement outside, for a gun to shoot a bird and, zip Nadia, again nothing. nothing that sounds like it would taste good to my bottomless pit of a stomach. Oh well ill throw in a chew of Grizzly mint, and ill get back to it. I hop on back up to my room and sit my happy butt back down in front of my electronic brain. Alright back to work, more compiling of thoughts changing fonts and putting this here and there, that up there, oh this over near that, wait back up that near here. Ah ha! I have done it, rebuilt it, yes it will now run faster, jump higher and think quicker. Well maybe just a lot shorter than the million dollar man, but it is better than the first and in the correct format. It is up to the standard of the sample paper my professor displayed in our class. Surprisingly it ended up being alotmore fun writing this paper. It did prove difficult but I think it will do well and fetch me an A+......No maybe just a B, but it works.

this was the elaborated story, it ended up being an assignment that I enjoyed but would prefer not to have to do again. Performing the presentation with my group members is proving difficult right now, but IM sure we will make it through ok and on the right track.

the presentation my group planned and put together via power point ended up being lost or not saved properly. That was such a bummer to find out minutes before it was due. We worked hard and felt confident in its quality to distribute knowledge to the rest of the class. Fortunately Professor Lewandowski will let my group present our revamped presentation next class period. Thank god.

Right now in my college career, I am at a stage of doubts. After three semesters, I have definitely been thinking about maybe something different than a college lecture room setting. The one major thing that keeps me coming back to this setting is the "All Knowing" parents. They feel that I will have wasted my life if I find something else to do that isn't college at the current juncture in time. I started school off at Mesa State College in good ol' Hick ass Grand Junction. My first semester, after I learned that there was more to do than just drink beer, do drugs, and sleep with every skank there was at that school, I decided to get my grades up. I did with a success raise my GPA. Going into my third semester I thought I had it all figured out and that I would do stellar compared to my first two semesters. BZZZZZZ wrong! I did worse than before, and I am here at Front range.

I love writing, I feel that writing has helped with a lot of things in my life. It helps me express things that I don't want to tell people. So that makes it a lot of fun. Writing an incident can be kind of tough to do if you get caught up in trying to make the story sound good. I think it is fun to write about something that you pull out of your ass.

I don't know if I would really write a lot if I wasn't required to here in school. If I don't have to do something, I wont do it. For example, the best subject in the whole wide world; Math, I will never do that kind of crap if I never have to again. English really isn't that bad, writing is a way to express things, and is cool in the aspect that you can go back and read it at a later time in life.

I want am currently a sociology major. That means I will probably be a hated person by most. I think writing might help me a lot in this career for when I have to write reports for different people. It would be kind of bad to describe the an incident with no detail. Hopefully I will figure out what good writing is and then use it for good reason.

I think that I could interview a Professor here at frontrange to get this assignment done. There are a lot of interesting people here so that would make it easy. If I didn't talk to any of the professors here, I could go back to my old high school, and talk to the counselor I had while I was in high school. She has a degree in social sciences so I might just have to do that. It might be a good way to assure that I get this assignment done. Finding out if writing is used in their particular field.
