Final portfolio

My portfolio is finished! YAY!! I honestly did learn alot in this class. I do believe my writing has changed and Prof. Renfroes techniques as well as those we learned from other writers have helped. Writing is definitely not something I want to pursue as a career, but I will definitely continue writing for fun. I also appreciate my classmates for allowing me to read their stories as well. I learned tons from them too! Happy writing to you all!!

My City

I am from Charleston,SC. Paradise for some, Educational for others. I love my city. I really haven't appreciated it for quite a while. I live on James Island...yes it is an actual island. This also means that I live extremely close to the beach...5 min away to be exact. Yes...be jealous!! My favorite part about my city is driving over the bridge to get to downtown Charleston. THe view is breathtaking. The blue water, boats sailing, beautiful homes, people walking...it truly is paradise. My city has so much to offer...especially in the Summer. It seems like every week there is a festival. Tons of locals get together to enjoy music, dancing, artwork, poetry, and of course that good ol' LOWCOUNTRY COOKIN"!! Crabs, lobsters, shrimp, scallops and all the fixins!! And the weather....hot and sunny!! Perfect weather to enjoy the beach or take a stroll downtown! Awwww....I can't wait!

College

My college experience at Queens had been wonderful. I can't believe it's almost over. As a freshman, I was a shy girl hiding from the life experiences. I was sheltered and not ready to experience the joys of life. But, soon enough that shy girl broke her shell. I have great friends and experienced so many things in college. I've had good times and bad times! Happy times and sad times. I've laughed and cried!!

My college experience has shaped who I am today. Very strong and very independent. My teachers have taught me to think outside the box, to test my knowledge and never be afraid to learn even more. I wouldn't trade this experience in for the world. Queens is such a wonderful place. Everyone is nice and the professors really want you to succeed! I love them all and appreciate them for allowing me to share a piece of them.

I've made lifelong friendships at Queens. I've done things I would have never done if I hadn't been at QUeens....like going to Greece! I would have never had that opportunity!! I am so pround to say that on May 9th I will be a Queens University of Charlotte graduate.

May 9, 2009

May 9, 2009 is almost here!! Oh my gosh!! It seems like only a few days ago I was talking about how much i wanted school to be over...now it almost is!! Im scared. Im scared about entering this crazy world. The world of work is waiting with not so welcoming hands. It's time to be completely on my own!! I hope I'm ready!...

I love Jesus

I wouldnt categorize myself as an extremely religious person. But, I am a Christian. I love God! I love Jesus!! The past 5 years have brought me so much closer to Jesus. My walk with Him has gotten stronger. He has done so much for me and has gotten me out of so much trouble that I have no choice but to worship Him! My heart is filled with so much joy as I think about everything he has done for me. And now look...I graduate in 16 days!! Graduate!! Me...a college graduate!! 5 years ago I would have never thought this was possible!! I thank God everyday for the blessing he has given me. I praise him because of his promise to me. He told me that he would never put more on me than I can bear. And he hasn't. he has tested me...and I have passed. The love for my God goes beyond what I can say. I would do anything for my savior!! I just thank him for never giving up on me!!

I hate blogging

I am so sick of this blogging thing! It's boring and to me pointless. I'd much rather write in a safe, secure, personal diary. Posting stuff on the internet just seems so impersonal. The whole world has access to it. Would I really want the whole world reading what I blogged about....some might, but not me!! Oh...

My messy room

I hate mess!! I hate a messy room, a messy kitchen, a messy house...PERIOD!! So, why is my room such a mess?!?!?!?! Simple answer....end of the semester time!! My books are thrown all over the place, papers are everywhere, pens are in ungodly places. Clothes are hanging out my closet!! All because of the stress of the end of semester essays, projects, papers, etc. YOu see...I am a procrastinator...to the fullest extent. If something is due weeks in advance, I would probably wait until the week it's due to even open the assignment. THats just how I've always been! It sucks because it really doesnt work that well for me. But I continue to do it!! And when I procrastinate....I get stressed which leads to a messy room. Oh help me!!
