           Well I am supposed to be writing a letter to anyone taking this class next quarter. The class seems pretty bad at first but it really isn’t as bad as it seems. This class has a lot to do with sci-fi. Don’t worry if you don’t like sci-fi because I don’t either but I actually kind of liked it during the quarter. The shows really aren’t that bad and I much rather watch the sci-fi than have to read some boring book that I have no interest in. Blogging at first sounds pretty bad too. 75 blogs sounds like a lot of work but once you get used to it, it doesn’t seem like much. You do get to learn a lot about your classmates. I think that is what I liked the best about the blogs. Although I did hate having to write a blog on Saturday and Sunday. Those are school day and I don’t think we should have to do them then. The blogs did also improve my writing somewhat. The two papers you are going to write aren’t too bad. The AP paper is definitely harder than the CP paper. The CP paper seems to be a lot more open and it is just easier to write. The class was pretty tough but I could tell that my writing was much improved from the beginning of the quarter compared to the end. It is a lot of work but you will get a lot out of it if you are willing to work hard.

        Well I guess this blog is supposed to be about how I feel about sci-fi now compared to when we started the class. I guess I could say I don’t mind it as much as I did before we started the class. I have never really been into sci-fi and I never watched it before the class started. Since we had to watch all of those shows, I guess I don’t mind it as much. I still will probably never watch it even now that the class is over. I didn’t mind it but I still prefer pretty much all other genres. I liked some other the stuff that we watched but it is still not for me. I don’t know why but I just have never really enjoyed sci-fi. However, there are aspects of the sic-fi shows that we watched. I did like all of the action in the shows and some of the shows had some pretty interesting story lines. I liked Caprica and it seemed to be a kind of mystery.  I liked the story line of that show and it just didn’t seem like as much of a sci-fi to me. There we some futuristic things in the show but it wasn’t over the top like some shows. I didn’t mind Firefly but I thought that living on a spaceship was so stupid. That is what I don’t like about sci-fi. The whole spaceship idea is just really stupid to me. Well I finally made it to 250 words. Back to studying!

           Well I haven’t done much other than study today. I have been studying most of the day and now I am just relaxing by watching the Nebraska, Oklahoma game. I also got an update about my friend that was in the car accident. Her surgery went well yesterday but unfortunately she is permanently paralyzed from the waist down. That is really sad but it actually could have been worse. And thanks to all of you that have kept her in your thoughts and prayers. Well I guess this is our last free blog. I am kind of sad that this class is coming to an end. I didn’t like the class but I liked the people in it.  I though that we had a pretty good class and I hope I get to see you guys around sometime. Well I’m not sure what else to talk about. I was pretty disappointed that pretty much all the snow missed us today. The snow is the only good thing about the cold. That is okay, as long as it snows for Christmas. It just doesn’t seem like Christmas without snow and it hasn’t snowed on Christmas for several years. I am really looking forward to Christmas. On Christmas Eve my family and my grandparents and my uncle on my mom’s side go to our church’s Christmas Eve service. The Christmas Eve service is really cool and I love going every year. Then after we go to that we go to Spaghetti Warehouse. I don’t know if anyone else has been there but it is pretty good and my grandparents always like to go there. Well that’s my 250 words! Time to do a little more studying during half time.

          Well I have been studying for my exams and I thought it was time to take a break and do my blog. Well yesterday I found out that one of my friends from high school was in a serious car accident. She is a senior this year and we really weren’t that close of friends, but I come from a school where everyone knows everyone and everyone is friends with everyone. I don’t know all the detail but I know she rolled her car several time and is in serious condition. She is stable but she is paralyzed. They don’t know if it is going to be permanent or not and she had surgery earlier today. I just ask everyone to just say a quick prayer for her. It is just really scary to think about. Everyone at my high school is close and it is really cool to see how the entire school pulls together. Today everyone, including me wore green for her. It is a really scary thing and I hope she will fully recover. You never think it is going to happen to someone you know but it always can. My freshman year we had one of our seniors was killed in a car accident and her sister is in my grade and we are pretty good friends. That was the only other time something this serious has happened at my high school. It was a really sad thing but it was great how our whole school came together in their support. Please just keep her in your prayers and good luck everyone on their exams!

           Today in class we watched Caprica and I thought it was pretty interesting. I actually didn’t think that it was that bad. At first I was somewhat confused about what was going on but they cleared it up pretty well towards the end. However, I still don’t understand why they were on the train and why that he had a bomb strapped to him. Maybe w found out why and I didn’t catch it or we didn’t get to the part that revealed that. I think that I might have liked this show a little better than BSG. It seemed to be a little less futuristic. It seemed to be more like today and it didn’t remind me of Star Trek. There were several things in the episode that confused me but I think that might have had something to do with not seeing the whole episode. I think I would probably have liked this show better than Firefly. I would have liked to watch this show instead of Firefly. It just didn’t seem to be a typical sci-fi. I can’t remember any of the names but it was pretty lucky that the girl did not get on that train. If she would have she would be dead too. I wonder if something ends up happening to her in a later episode or something. I kind of wish we could have seen the whole episode because I thought it was pretty interesting and it probably wouldn’t have been as confusing for me. Well that’s my 250 words.

           Well it snowed today and it is actually still snowing right now. I hate the cold but I love the snow. And we are supposed to get more snow in Saturday and Sunday so I am pretty excited for that. Well I managed to finish my webwork today. I also just finished my paper homework, which I kind of bsed. I also went to the webwork project session and I got all of that done. I got all of the webwork projects done. That is really nice because that is 40 points of extra credit. Well I am watching the Michigan State, Duke game. I hate Duke with a passion so I am hoping Michigan State can pull out with the win. It has been a pretty good game so far. It is also a good day because the Big 10 won their second ACC Big 10 challenge. That is pretty sweet. I really hate Duke so much and another good reason for them to lose is that would move Ohio State up to number 1. That would be sweet to be number 1 in basketball and 6^th in football. Well tomorrow is the last day of English class. I am kind of glad but it kind of sucks too because I like the people in my class. I think we have a pretty good class and that is the worst part of class being over. However it will be so nice to have a month off of school. School has been pretty stressful and it is going to be so nice to have some time off.

           Well I just finished watching the Ohio State basketball game. They beat Florida State but I didn’t think they played all that well. Florida State is an okay team but I felt like we could have beaten them by more. I hate how Thadd Matta never subs in players. OSU has at least 3 players that can come off the bench and do just fine in the game. In the second half he only subbed one player in the entire time. We struggled in the second half and I think that a sub or two would have been useful. Like 3 player ended up playing the entire game. I know there are TV timeouts but they need a break. By the end of the game they are so tired that they start to make stupid mistakes. OSU has one of the most talented teams this year but it seems like he isn’t using all of them to their potential. I guess that is okay because they won. They are ranked second and it seems weird that our basketball team is ranked higher than the football team. OSU has always been known as a football school but I guess we are moving to a football and basketball school. That is a good thing but it just seems weird that they are ranked higher than the football team. I have been trying to work on the webwork but I hate them so bad. I only have nine 7 problems left but they are all hard problems. I am going to have to find some help on the rest of it. I am so glad this is the last webwork. They are a waste of my time!
