HOMEWORK!

What should my speech be on????

Pesuasiveeeee! Requirements::

Persuasive Speech Assignment

Prepare and deliver a 5 -7 minute speech in which you attempt to persuade the audience to agree

with your judgment of your topic OR to take a particular action.

Example topics for a Persuasive speech:

Be a blood donor.

The legal age to drink alcohol should be raised to 21.

Live without credit cards.

MACs are better than PCs

Your goal in this speech is to effect a change in your audience: either a change in their

attitudes/values toward your topic or a change in their behavior. To be persuasive, you will need

to blend information with reasoning. This means you need to provide strong persuasive appeals

based on solid research. (Be careful to avoid the common mistake of providing only information

and assuming the “facts” alone will be persuasive.)

Research Requirement: You are required to include a minimum of three references to outside

research in the body of your speech. It is up to you to determine how much research is enough to

properly develop your speech and where to use this research.

Visual Aid Requirement: You are required to use a visual aid in this assignment. Make sure

your visual aid supports your speech; do not use visual aids to BE the speech. (Do not use

outlines as visual aids.) IMPORTANT: Sometimes, the most effective visual aid is a single

item, shown only when it helps illustrate or explain a concept. Using a visual aid does not have

to mean making a complete PowerPoint presentation. It may mean something as brief as

displaying a chart while referring to statistics. Examine your speech for any part that would be

better with a visual aid, then prepare the aid accordingly.

Outline Requirement: You are required to turn in a formal, full-sentence outline of your

speech at the beginning of class on your assigned speaking date. Don’t forget to outline the

introduction and conclusion, as well as the body of your speech. Outside research MUST be

cited in a Bibliography of Sources at the end of your outline. IMPORTANT: This time, you

are required to indicate the pattern of organization you use. You can put this information in your

header, under your name.

Homework still isn't done... will do it todayyyy!

I believe in fairy tales when I am falling for someone but think they are rubbish when I am hurt. THat is lame of me! What a hypocrite am I? However, I realized fairy tales happen all the time, I just don't see it because I am stuck in the middle of mine.

I received a fortune the other day, on a crucial day, that read,

"You have to kiss a lot of toads before you can find your prince."

What they don't tell you is:

Before Cinderella met Prince Charming, not only did she have to clean and obey her wicked step mother and step sister's every command but she had to deal with semi dating the boys at the local Royal university of London.

Before Ariel could meet Prince Eric, she had to date around in her waters and then struggle to even talk to the prince.

Before Belle could fall for the Beast she had to constantly deal with Gaston, who had bugged her about dating her whole time in that small provincial town.

Before Jasmine could meet Aladdin, she had to date a bunch of arrogant guys from other kingdoms.

SO before I can meet my prince, I really do have to deal with frogs. And that doesn't mean that my frogs are not someone else's prince.. it just means they are not mine. Maybe, I am in the middle. I am learning from the guys I know and the guys I date what I am looking for in my prince. I am learning that even when I feel like their is no light at the end of my tunnel, that there is always a happy ending waiting to happen. But most of all, I am learning about me. Happy endings with princes are never easy to achieve. They require lots of work and time. I know that all these toads are helping me to be able to handle the prince and all of his quirks that will cause my adoration for him, as well as my possible irritation with him.

All my life I have loved Barbie. Mainly in high school and college, people have said I am a Barbie doll. So as Princess Barbie, I am looking for a noble Prince Ken to hold and love my heart as I hope to do his. There aren't necessarily requirements per say, but there are things I have learned to look for, and things I like. They are listed below:

they must:

*be a worthy member of the gospel and love it most sincerely.

*be open-minded.

*not judge, but be loving in their criticism.

*have a sense of humor, compatible with my own, and have a love for laughter.

*want to be their best- always.

*be educated, at least enough to keep up with me.

*

(now more stupid stuff, that matters less than the above)

*be taller than me, even if only by a half inch.

*like sports.

*

I guess, most importantly they must be able to keep up with me pushing me every day to be better, to go farther, to love more (in a loving manner) and is willing to do what I want to do, whether it is skydiving to surfing to traveling.

So Prince Ken, if you are out there.. these are my hopes and aspirations. Hopefully, one day we will meet soon.

Pitter Patter to the Beat of My Heart

Somewhere between the time I first started this blog and now, blogging has kind of become a big deal. But my blog still isn't, or shall I say shouldn't, be a big deal. So hopefully it lays low and remains in the "What!?! You have a blog?!?!!" section! =]

hail.. my last mentioned subject.. well, I have found the hail to still be there. But my cover is so amazing that I tend to forget about said hail and am only reminded every now and then when I truly look around the cover! Yeaa! This is good [Just IN case you didn't know]. Oh and this cover isn't some little umbrella or a jacket held high over your head, oh no. This cover is like a fort, made of tin; strong, but still destroyable, large, but still small, and cute, but still manly. It may fall apart or maybe it will be built stronger like with steel. All I know is that I am enjoying the soft pitter patter of that extreme hail on my fort's tin roof, the music keeping time with the beat of my heart.

OH

EM

GEE

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!

My new iPhone arrives like today, or maybe tomorrow!!!!! It doesn't really matter as long as I get it.. lol.. I think I want to name it Zach. I am not totally sure just yet. But Zach just feels like a bomb name!

I think I need to design a logo for my signature, just take a stroll through my graphic design experience and make something that is worth a little dabbling for.

Also, I think I need to make my page a bit different.. I should design a blog background specific to me [or shall I say my posts].

I really miss old life. Freshman Academy, the summer of 2008, life. I realize that I can't go back and that I should live for today and tomorrow, but I still miss it. I miss those friendships, those dramas. Small things that used to be huge and huge things that were always made small. I miss those "lifelong friends" and I truly believe they are.. but what happened to keeping in touch?What happened to that love? It isn't gone, is it? I don't think so, I just think it is kept quiet- back to huge things made small..

signing off- logo to be made soon

<3&thoughts,

P.S. I love longboarding I really want a board.. something pretty.. I am thinking something of the cosmic grinder sort.

hail?

Where has time gone?

LIKE SERIOUS, it is NOVEMBER?!? WTF?!?!?

So, here is the deal I am busy busy busy. But I love it. My mom and I figured I have roughly 7 hours a day a week for play.. but I don't usually see it! And it is more on the weekends than anything. But I have been working like 25 hours a week, plus, school full time.. it has just been extremely busy! Andddd on top of that I just payed my application fee and all I need to do is get my transcripts from my current school sent and hopefully I will hear soon! OMG, so much is going on! I have no social life... I KNOW SHOCKING, right? It has just been busy busyy!

I need to crack down on homework. I have a 3-5 page paper due tomorrow which I will pound out tonight after work, and before I submit that lovely psychoanalysis I have to take an exam in my PoliSci class... that class is my easier class... and then crack the whip in ballet and then work! And most importantly I have to catch up in my Public Speaking class.. I haven't been to my once a week class in three weeks.. I am like officially screweddd. BUT, I think she will accept my doctor's note and let me just squeeze by.

UCLA specialist doesn't know what the eff is going on. He is only at UCLA on Thursdays. Thursdays are my longest days (meaning I have school all day) and my only day off other than Sunday. This means that I have no time for play ever. and that I will always have to just plan to be busy Monday through Saturday from 1-9 and then just the school hours of Tuesday morning and ALL Thursday- not to mention the Sunday church activities, which tend to leave me with no free time.

ELLE

But you know what?

I know that it will all be worth it when I am out of debt, have money saved, and am able to play at school.

Sometimes you need to deal with the rain to get to see that bow..

I like rain..

this just feels more like hail

and here I am

trying to cover up and get through the storm.

We will see what happens..

Fridays are always good days.

MONEY is sometimes good.

love is right.

and laughter can help you in the fight.
