Weekend free write

My weekend was pretty fun. Friday night I played 3 consecutive ultimate frisbee games and it was actually a lot of fun. I'm very glad that I joined Mr. Steffens ultimate frisbee club. We had pizza after the games and then I finally went home and relaxed for a while. Then on Saturday I had my final theatre performance with the seniors of the theater company. It was a fun show and it was actually pretty nerve wracking because the audience was right there on stage with us. The seats surrounded the set in three different directions. It was a new experience, but I'm glad that I did it.

Walmart video

Many small businesses seem to be suffering at the hands of Walmart.
Walmart does not give its employees proper health benefits.
Walmart makes huge profits every year but pays their employees low wages.


I don't really have much of an opinion on this matter, I guess it's just never crossed my mind. However I will say, people like to blame the walmart executives, when we are the ones that put them there. It's a big business that profits off the people in this country. If we don't like it, then we should stop shopping at Walmart, but we probably never will, so honestly, is it really that bad? It must not be if millions of people continue to shop and work for Walmart. People love to complain about issues like this, yet most of them don't do anything to change it.
Will this make me stop shopping at Walmart? No. Walmart provides many goods and services for a somewhat decent price. Beggars can't be choosers.

Future

I plan on attending college and getting a 4 year degree at IPFW. I hope my degree is in something that I really love to do. I want to enjoy my work and I want to make a decent living out of it as well. Succeeding in life isn't just about landing a good high paying job. It's part of it, but it's not everything. After college, I hope that I can settle down and maybe start looking at starting a family. That's how I plan to succeed at life. If college doesn't work out, I'll try to sustain myself with factory work for awhile until I can find something else that I want to do.

Story 10

I think I have completion anxiety. I'm really bad about procrastinating with completing things. I always put it off until the last minute and then panic to try and get it done. It's not a good thing to feel and it makes finishing things extremely stressful. It's important because kids my age that are in high school, need to know how to properly handle it so they can go through high school without having to worry about never getting anything done. 

I learned that I'm pretty sure that I have completion anxiety, because it seems to describe me pretty well. It's important to manage it well, and not stress and panic over it. That seems to only make the problem worse and increase the amount of anxiety. 

It's especially important for this class because it's a project based class. Most of the grades we get are big projects that are worth a lot of points. I can use this for this class to not stress about all the project that we do in here.

Why is this important? Apparently it's a very prevalent issue in this country. Honestly, I don't tend to notice it, it doesn't really affect my day to day life, but I always see news articles about a white police officer shooting an unarmed black person.
My opinion? In the grand scheme of things, racial issues are so petty. Our focus as humans should be on bigger issues, like renewable energy. Not stupid petty human differences that seem to much more important than everything else.

My weekend

My weekend was actually really awesome. Friday night I went with some friends to see the new avengers in 3D. It was so good. I think it was much better than the first one. Saturday was prom and I was really looking forward to it. It was very weird to think that it was my senior prom though. It was a lot of fun though, and I won Prom King, which was very unexpected. And then Sunday was the long awaited performing arts trip. We went down to Indianapolis to see a broadway show of Beauty and the Beast. It was so amazing. One of the best performances I think I'll ever see. The next day before we headed home went to the Indy zoo which was pretty fun, even though it started to rain like crazy. And then, as a secret surprise, we stopped at an IMAX theater and watched the Avengers AGAIN. So I got to see it twice in one weekend, which was really epic.

Favorite food

My favorite food is probably my moms homemade chicken noodle soup. It's so good. We usually have it every few weeks because I beg my mom to make it. The best part is that it only takes about 15 minutes to make. It's the greatest meal ever.
The smell of the broth always fills the whole house and it's delicious. The taste is so fulfilling and every bite tastes better than the last. Even just seeing the soup boil in the big kettle makes my mouth water. Just even hearing it boil and simmer is amazing. Although touching to kind of hurts because it's boiling hot soup.
