New Assignment
I am very fortunate about the story I selected. The choice of two play's one is a much longer read than the other. I am an avid reader but with the amount I have going on with school and work I am glad i drew the right straw. However having a shorter story leaves me with less meat to include in my paper so there is a negative to this. Hopefully turns out for the better.

Rose for Emily
The story Rose for Emily seemed to be a common problem for those advancing in age. It seems that as time goes on people do not want to let go of the ways that used to be done. Even me, I am having a learning curve going back to school and having to do everything online but when I had left school we were using chalkboards.

Vacation
Between my career, school, and maintenance on my house I have no time. It seems like a lot of the students in class have kids, I have no idea how they accomplish all they do with so much on their plate. I pray I never have kids so at least i may have a bit of leisure time.

College football
There is less than two months before college football starts. I am very excited about this even though my team (Miami) does not look to good. College football is the most watched sport in the country and I understand why.

Brussels sprouts are delicous
Brussels sprouts seem to not be very popular with most people, mainly young people. As the years have gone by my taste buds have changed At this moment I am enjoying them very much while somebody else in the house will be going to bed much more hungry than I.

Movie shooting
Last night a man opened fire in a movie theater killing a dozen people. Acts like this will always happen regardless of gun laws, economy, adequate hugs from parents and so on. The best way in my opinion to handle matter like this is with justice. In Fl. we have the right to carry a handgun for self defense, imagine had there been an armed citizen in that theater capable of possible stopping the situation. I feel the best defense is being able to have an offense.

Working in groups
Working in groups has its advantages and disadvantages. Some people they have trouble collaborating with others or do not like to share responcibilities. I have issues with being a team player and generally like working alone regardless of how lovely my partners may be. How do you feel about group work?

Cost of books
You would think with all of our tech options kindle, ipad, laptops that by now all course literature would be accessed using one of these devices. Hopefully the end of $220.00 dollar books is coming soon. I can usually find most online at low cost but then i have to wait almost two weeks at times. I can only imagine buying 4 books for 800 dollars every semester.

Going to summer semester
At South we have the unique opportunity to complete fulltime semesters during the summer months. This is great for individuals who may already be past the usual college age and want to expedite the graduating process. I fall into this category and regardless how thankful I am to have the opportunity to complete credit hours I find it more difficult to convince myself to study on my weekend instead of enjoying the Florida sunshine. The pro's out weigh the con's but it will be fantastic to enjoy the summer time once again in two years.

Losers and cowards complain. Winners do.
It seems that there are many lazy incompetent people that go to this school. Why would you sign and pay to earn your degree if you are going to complain about having to do the required assignments and learn what you need to learn. I am concerned for the future of our country do this entitlement that my generation feels. Grow up say yes sir yes mam do your work get good grades then get a job. Stop complaining that things are to hard and put on your big boy or girl pants and do what you need to do to succeed, thrive, and be successful.
