Gas Prices

As a kid I never really thought about how much gas was. I really didn't start thinking about it until I started driving and got my own car. I can remember when gas was just about to get to $2 per gallon and everyone couldn't believe that it was so high. Look at us now, we think that gas is cheap if it gets down to $2.5o. It bugs me so much how the gas prices go up and down so randomly like it does sometimes. The main time every year that it gets to be really high is in the summer but after this past summer it had went down a good bit. Than all of a sudden it started rising again out of no where. I recently herd of a plan that I think might help to bring the gas prices back down and stop the oil companies from having so much power over the price. The plan is to get EVERYONE to stop buying gas from one or two companies completely. This will force those companies to lower their prices to try and save their business. Which in turn will force all the other companies to do the same just so that they can compete. If this plan can be put into effect and carried out by enough people than I believe that we can get gas prices back to a reasonable price range.

Stars

The sky in the city is nothing compared to what it looks like out in the country. Being someone that was raised in a big city I never really thought of the stars all that much. See all the light that is produced from big city's makes it nearly impossible to see any stars at night. So I always thought that there really wasn't that many stars up there and it didn't really impress me all that much. Than one day my dad moved out to the country and I got to start visiting him. It was than that I saw my first REAL starry sky. It was one of the most incredible things in the world that I had ever seen. There is just something so peaceful about being out there; no noise from cars, light from street lamps, or even the interruption of random people passing. Its just you and your thoughts. It's always good to go and do this every once in a while. You know just get away from EVERYTHING and clear your mind.

Puppies

Raising a puppy seems like a great idea and a lot of fun. No one ever thinks of what goes into raising a puppy. All they ever think about is how cute and fun they are. So you go and get a puppy randomly one day and bring it home. Everything seems to going good and everyone else that meets this new puppy loves it so much. Than you get to that first night with it. You end up only getting maybe 3 hours of sleep due to getting up every hour or so to bring the puppy out. Than you realize that you need to go buy food, so you go get that. Than comes the VET. You end up having to bring the puppy back every 3 weeks to get more shots for the first 4 months. So you also realize that if you want your new friend to listen to you later on and do what you want them too that you need to start training them. So as you can see getting a puppy is something that needs to be thought about a lot more than just thinking that you just want to get one.

One Final Down

I just took my final exam for my architechture class. You know the test I was just previously stressing out about. This is how it went. I walked to class and when I got there the room was locked and all my classmates were sitting in the hall studying. So I decided to do the same thing but when I started to look over my flash cards I began to realize that I knew it all and was just wasting my time by looking over the information. After sitting there for a few minutes our teacher walked up and told us that we had to take the exam in another room because she had locked herself out of our normal class room. So we all get up and follow her into the other class room. I set down and she told us to hold on for a second while she went to put a note on the other class room door to let people who got there late know where we had moved to. So when she got back she told us when our sketchbooks were due and she handed out the test. As I looked over the test I begain to realize that the test looked a lot like the study guid had looked. So I started answering the quietions and before I knew it 15 minutes later I was done. It ended up being one of the easyest exams I have ever taken. I am still glad that I studyed though.

Finishing A Class

I have been studying for this final that I am about to take in an hour and at first when I saw how much information I needed to know I was freaking out. I didn't think that I was going to be able to learn it all by today. It was starting to stress me out which I have been doing a lot lately. But the more I looked over all the information, the more I found out that I already knew a lot more of it than I thought I did. This is why I am in a good mood about this final I am about to take. The only thing left for that class is that I need to have 100 sketch's done by Thursday at 2:30 or I will pretty much fail the class. This is one of those many things I have been putting off all semester. I have gotten most of them done so far. I am up to about 72 now, so that means only 28 more to go. The only thing is that the more I draw the less I have to draw. I start to run out of ideas of things that I can draw. So as I get to the end of them it starts to take me longer and longer to do them. But I know I will get them done. I've been in tougher situations before.

Saints

The New Orleans Saints! After the impressive season from the New Orleans Saints last year their has been a lot more Saints fans around. This seemed to be a little odd but I just took it in good stride and let it go. Than this years football season started and the Saints lost their first 3 games. All those SO CALLED fans that claimed they loved the Saints so much started to hate the Saints once again just because they started to lose once again. If you are a true fan of ANY team than you know to support them all the time; even if this mean staying by their sides when they do bad. This just goes to show TRUE fans that these new fans are the kind of fans that just support any team that is doing well at the time. For example the kind of people that starts liking the winner of the supper bowl from the previous year just because they won the supper bowl most recently.

Weather

I wish this weather would make up its mind. I hate how it goes back and forth from being hot and cold. It seems as if it changes every time our bodies are just starting to adapt to the normal temperatures at the time. For example say it had been up in the 80’s for a few weeks and than one day it drops down to 60. When this happens our bodies can’t take it and think it is a lot colder than it really is. Than it continues to say around 60 or maybe even slightly colder for the next week, our bodies start to get use to the temperature and we may no longer need to wear jackets and it just feels really good outside. Than as soon as this happens the weather changes back and goes back up to 78 and it feels as if it is 90 just because our bodies have gotten use to the colder weather. Of course this just counties to happen throughout the fall and winter seasons; going round and round in a horrible cycle which we can’t stop.
