For your final blog entry, I would like you to discuss one thing you think I should change about the course and why, and one thing you think I should keep from the course.

I guess for this class the one thing I would like to be changed is how the grading was. In English I with Mrs. Hall. I liked how we had until she had graded all the assignments to get our papers in. I think I only used that to my advantage once, but I knew it was always there if I needed it. That made my nerves not so bad when comes to deadlines. I know we have to have deadlines but this was at least an extra day or two if needed. As far as the one thing she should keep from the course, I would have to say the literary analysis!!! I know that this is probably not possible, but it was by far the hardest of them all for me. For one I didn’t really even understand how to do it. That is probably my fault. If I would have started on it in time to send it to the smart thinking then I would’ve done better on it.  I don’t know why it seemed so hard to analyze literature. Overall I enjoyed the class and I am glad that I survived it. I don’t really think I am looking forward to world lit next semester, but hopefully Mrs. Hall has prepared me enough to tackle it too.  Thank you Mrs. Hall for two great semesters! I have truly learned a lot and I am sure I will need it in my future!!

OK wow! So we get to write about whatever we want this week. That means this week’s blog entries should be interesting right? I guess I am going to write about what’s on my mind. This week I have been faced with the fact that I will have to hire a sitter for my children. I have four wonderful kids that range from 1 year old to 11 years old. They are my life, as I am sure you guys have heard at some point in this class. I have not had to have a babysitter for the past 4 years because I have always had my mom or my sister in law watch them for me. Well now that I am coaching my daughters softball team and traveling with my other daughters cheer squad, I need a sitter. I plan on taking more school hours on campus next fall and will need a sitter for those hours too. I know some people are thinking I am crazy, why don’t I just find a sitter and hire one? Right? Well it isn’t that easy for me. I am really stressed out over it. I want the right person for this job. I can’t make up my mind if I want a college kid or an older lady. I can’t make up my mind if I want a nanny or just a babysitter. I can’t even decide how much I am willing to pay. I know It sounds like I am very indecisive, and I am. I guess I will start my search and hope that the right person just stands out to me. As any parent knows, the wellbeing of your children comes before anything else in this world. I just hope I can let down my guard enough to hire the right person.

For my annotated bibliography and the argumentative paper I am writing about human cloning. To me this is a very good topic to write about because there are several people on both sides of the fence. Some people say it is a way of doing God’s work and should only be done by him, not us humans. Other people argue that it is simply a way to recreate a human for those that cannot reproduce on their own. I will be weighing the good against the bad and stating many facts in my paper. Arguments are backed by facts and I have found plenty to support my argument. I do not feel that human cloning should be done at all. There have been several types of cloning since around 1970 which includes animals, but none of humans. The risk of developing abnormal humans as a result is very high. To me there is no since in created something that God has already done. If we are meant to bear children, we do. If we want to have a child there are plenty of children already born who need homes and loving parents, why not adopt? Just because a child didn’t come from your genes it doesn’t mean you are not their parents. If human cloning were successful it’s not a guarantee for that person to be what you expected in the first place.
