3. Biology, Books, and Boring Stuff (don't you just love alliteration)

So far, my time at MC continues to be great with only a few disappointing times. One of these times occurred on Friday. I had finished my biology test and knew that I had not done so well. Thing is though, I studied. We were able to use notes, and I made sure that I had all the information that I thought I needed. The real trouble came from the questions that I did not recognize from the notes. Other than that one incident, the rest of my week was good.

Another thing I did on Friday was go to the library's book bazaar. I bought about $13.00 worth of books. The only book I had to make myself not buy was The Dark Tower I: The Gunslinger by Stephen King. This copy of the book was an older one from the 1980's. In 2003, the book was updated, which was the version I read. I was a little afraid that a bunch of stuff I might want would have already been bought, so I didn't mention the bazaar to many people (even though I work at the library). I also didn't buy some other books because their covers were partly cut-off. I didn't want books that were somewhat damaged looking.

The only other highlights of my week would include playing Rock Band 2, listening to music, starting yet another book, etc. I don't really have much of a life, in case none of you noticed. Well, I should probably stop writing before I start to ramble and look like I'm just writing to fill up space. I hope all of you have a great day.

2. I wish I had an interesting title, but I don't. I guess this one will have to do.

My time at MC has been pretty good so far, but I haven't had many exciting days. I just want the day to end so I can move on to the next one. I get into this apathetic mindset at times, and I don't really like it all that much. I know I'm not the only one who just wants the day to end.

One problem I'm facing is trying to do good on two tests that I have coming up. I have a Western Civilization test on Wednesday, but I'm not really too worried about it. Instead, I'm almost a little frantic about my biology test. I have about 20 pages of notes, and I'm not sure what all could be on the test. I understood the stuff we went over the first two weeks, but I got a little bit lost at times after that. I just hope I do good.

I don't have much planned for the week other than going to classes, reading a few books, and working. Currently, I'm reading Neuromancer by William Gibson, The Terminal Man by Michael Crichton (which is a little boring right now), and when I'm done with those two, I'm going to read The Illuminatus! Trilogy by Robert Shea and Robert Wilson and Xenocide by Orson Scott Card. Well, I'd definitely call that a run-on sentence. Hopefully, I won't have any of those when I have to write something this year. You can get away with it a little bit more in creative writing I bet. Well, if you're the next William Faulkner or James Joyce, you can. I hope anyone who reads this has a good day.

1. When the Levee Doesn't Break

I've only been in college for a few weeks, and already interesting things have happened. For one thing, everybody kept thinking that Hurricane Gustav was going to be "The Big One," that would demolish the coast of Mississippi and New Orleans even more than Katrina did. Fortunately, this was not the case. We got a whole bunch of rain on the campus and had to go to the basement several pointless times to avoid tornadoes, but that was about it.

I'd call this situation a case of when the levee doesn't break. The title of my blog, by the way, alludes to a song called, "When the Levee Breaks." I'm not certain who the original writer was, but Led Zeppelin did a cover on their fourth album. Back in the 1920's, the Great Mississippi Flood destroyed many homes and ravaged the state. People were forced to flee to the Midwest. I have been listening to Led Zeppelin the other day and decided that I needed an interesting title for my first blogpost. I certainly didn't want to name something like, "My first blogpost." But I digress.

One other interesting thing that has happened as of late was when Dr. Randle beat some textbooks during class. Personally, I just thought he was going to drop a book on the desk. Instead, he started beating them. I looked around the room, and I saw the shocked faces of my classmates. I was laughing through out this spectacle. Many things can be said about my Comp 1 class, but boring is not an applicable word. I hope all of you enjoy reading this as much as I did writing it. Have a good day.
