This week was great because I got a chance to spend time with my family. I am not however, looking forward to going back to school. It will be a lot of pressure because finals are coming up. The next couple of weeks will be pretty stressful. I ready to get them started, so I can have winter break to relax.
I had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I got a chance to see those I haven’t seen in awhile and we were able to talk about old times. We all got together to thank God for his mercy and kindness. It reminded me that there is nothing like family. It feels good to come home where you will always be loved and wanted.
I am excited to finish this semester strong. I pray to God that I do well on my finals. There is a lot of studying I will have to do, but I guess I am ready. However, I am just grateful to have the opportunities I have.

12. Drawing Into Emotions
I really hate the fact that we have to come to school Monday and Tuesday of next week. It seems like we should be out for the entire week. I really thought that our last paper would be a little bit easier to write because of the topic, but of course I was wrong. I guess it hard for me to write because I hate to write about personal situations or emotions. Dr. Miller demands know what his students are thinking. Well, I really feel weak when I let someone know what I think or how I think.
My emotions and feelings about family, faith, morals, and other personal things are mines. It feels like I am letting someone read my personal journal or something. Many may not feel the same way, but it’s the one problem I have. I guess it is because it takes me along time to express my feelings to those I love. Hopefully, I can become more comfortable in expressing my true feelings and not expecting everyone to know how I feel.
Every time I get a paper back from Dr. Miller and Ms. Furby there is always a comment telling to express myself more or use more personal detail. Well, I hope that in this last paper I capture that and much more. This one of the great steps I must take in order to take my writing to the next level. God has continued to bless me and I should be will to share my emotions with others.

11. Thoughts
This week I had test in four classes. I spent most of my time preparing for those tests by studying. Hopefully, I did well on those tests and I have a lot of god news next week when I get back to school. Next, week I will be working on my third and final paper for English class. Even though this paper maybe a little difficult, I am just glad that it is the last one.
I think this week I have just been living life. God has continued to bless me and everything is going pretty good. I know that MC is the place where I want to finish my education and I am planning to continue to grow here. I constantly plan for my future in my head and how things are going be for me down the road. So, far it has work in my favor. Not everything has gone exactly how I planned, but still I made it to college and accomplished great academic successes.
I think planning ahead does not help your life to be perfect. It does however give you goals and drive to accomplish those goals. Thinking about the future is something important for a college student to do. I think our English paper on our own personal mission statement will help some to achieve this.

10. God's Blessings
This week I finished my paper for English class. It was much more difficult than the last paper. I have a feeling that the next paper will be even more difficult. I have a lot of preparation to do for next week. It seems as if I have a test coming up in every class except English class. It is promised to be a long week next week.
I think God truly showed me and the rest of the world how amazing he is this week. He shows us everyday, but he reminded some of us who forgot. I had been having problems with my student account at school and I had been praying to God for help. Well, God always comes through. Earlier this week there was an error found in my account and I found out that I had actually over paid the school. God also showed the world that what they thought could not be done, could be done. When Obama was elected President, it proved that America is more diverse than many thought.
I think that America has along way to go, but I think we are off to a great start. I have witnessed that everyone may not agree on this new direction, but we should all work for the common good of America. If we are proud of the President, we should a least be proud of the history that was made Tuesday night. It has been a great week for me and I am proud to say that I witnessed this history making event. God Bless America!!!

9. Maintaining
This week I did spent much of my time revising my paper for English class. I also had to do a paper for Human Biology. This week seemed to be long for some reason. Then, it really does not help that I got a cold this weekend. I had been waiting for the weekend to come and now I have a sore throat and stuffy nose.
I really do not have much to talk about this week. Everything has been going as it usually does. I am however very excited about Election Day approaching. I hope that everyone goes out and votes. I hate the fact that I am only seventeen because this is a very big election year. It would nice to be apart of the history that is about to be made.
I guess that I am just dealing with life. I am just happy that God has blessed me to be where I am and I am trying to make each day count. I am definitely glad that my cold is attempting to go away. It feels great to be living and sharing life with those I love.
