 ​ `dellroydellroy My experience with writing has been very limited. I have not had any kind of formal writing class for over seventeen years. Although my English classes in high school were sometimes very boring at the time, I feel they did an adequate job to prepare me for college. My favorite class was English Composition I. What I really hope to get out of this class is some basic knowledge of proper grammer, spelling, and punctuation. Right now I have a very vague idea how to form a proper paragraph, or sometimes a sentence. Punctuation at times can be confusing. Things I would like to write about would be things that actually interest me.

Writing assignment #1 pg. 80 Ways to pass time during a boring lecture

Passing time during a dull lecture is something that everyone probably has done from time to time. In this day and age, there are many ways to do this. With technology changing so rapidly there is a whole arsenal of gadgets to choose from. First of all, my personal favorite is the ipod, with most ipods you can can watch your favorite movie, listen to music or even audio books and podcasts. But this is just the beginning, if you are lucky enough to have a phone with internet access than you can email, surf the web, and play games. As said in the beginning, there many things to do during a boring lecture, its totally up to the individual and what kind of entertainment they perfer.

Writing Assignment #2 Pg.80

The food at the cafeteria was terrible yesterday, all they had left was soggy french fries and hamburgers that were cold. I guess I can't blame the cooks for this, they were short handed. Bertha, the head lunch lady, was out sick and because of the snow nothing fresh was delivered.

My Friend Russ

=Loyal, would be one quality that my friend Russ is. Russ has always had my back no matter were, when, or whatever the odds may of been, he was there. I have so many stories I could tell about this kid, and his undying loyalty as a friend. The first thing you have to know is that Russ and I spent four years together in the Marine Corps. So as you can imagine we're more like brothers than friends. I'll give you an example of loyalty that this kid presented. It was December 1994 and Russ and I went on Christmas leave together, I went to his home to celebrate the holidays. So I got to meet his parents and his girlfriend and all these people I've heard about for the past two years. It was New Years Eve, we went to a party that was being thrown at some house in Coventry, I don't remember who's house, a friend of a friend type of deal. Remember, We're only twenty-one, so we've been drinking since about noonish and by the time we get to this house party we're feeling good, maybe too good. The night ware's on and people are hooking up, and everything is good, except for the fact that theirs on young lady who doesn't have a drink in her hand.=

Compare and Contrast

Dogs and Cats

I've been a pet owner for several years and I must say that there are some real differences between dogs and cats. Dogs are mans best friend, but also can be a major pain in the ass. Most dog breeds are intelligent, and willing to please their masters.
