Divorce; is this something we should take lightly? In today’s society it seems people divorce left and right, or maybe people marry too fast. In my eyes you vow to God to be with your spouse “through good times, bad times, in sickness and in health”. As long as there is no abuse I believe things should be worked out. Marriage is very hard and you can not call it quits as soon as things are not going the greatest, especially when children are involved.
You have two people living in one house and sharing everything, there are bound to be fights. It some what reminds me of living with siblings except obviously minus the romantic involvement. You are in such a closed environment and around each other a lot that disagreements are going to happen.
God intended for one man and one woman to spend the rest of their lives together. You become one and what happens to the Husband happens to the Wife. You work as a team and not against each other. Even if it means you need to go to counseling. Just because the relationship has gotten to the point of needing counseling does not mean it is the end. There is nothing wrong with having an outsider help to resolve issues you may have.
We need to be sure to respect our spouses and treat them with kindness. The world seems to be set on high speed and we are always going going going and we do not take time to appreciate our husbands or wives. I am not saying everyone is like this but it seems a good majority go through this. Divorce rates make that apparent.

Writing Blog
Now that I have worked on a few assignments I am realizing how hard it is to write. Well I have always had a hard time writing but it been a long time since I have been “forced” to write something. One assignment I have in mind is the Autoethnography. I have done all the prep work that has led to my first draft, but even when I think I am done I can never seem to get the finished product the way I want. I have re-written my paper several times which I know you are supposed to do but I still do not seem happy with what I have done. Maybe I am being too hard on myself, I am not sure.
I had fun doing the Collage but the Autoethnography has been really stressful. I am really anxious to get feed back from my first draft. I would like to know if I am going in the right direction. I have read over the “instructions” several times to make sure I am doing as I should. I have read some of the examples on previous Autoethnography’s but then I get more confused as to if I have done the right thing. I guess in some sense there is no wrong or right when it comes to writing.

Blog Week 3 "The Hangover"
It has been probably a year since I have been to a movie. Just the other day my husband said he wanted to go see a movie. I said ok lets go. Now anytime we go see a movie we ultimately choose the one he wants to see. He wanted to go see “The Hangover” and I really wanted to see “The Time Traveler’s Wife”. Well for arguments sake we went to see “The Hangover”. At first I thought this was going to be the dumbest movie ever; a bunch of guys after a night of drunkenness, who cares?
This movie had us out loud laughing during the whole movie. Who ever wrote the script for this movie did a really good job with the humor. The character’s chosen I think helped with the humor as well. The group of friends in this movie were an odd match. They had a dorky dentist, a rebellious teacher, one with no job and very odd, and then the last guy was the one with his head on his shoulders.
Four friends travel to Vegas for a bachelor party and end up getting so wasted they do not even remember the night before. Once they wake up they realize they have lost the groom. As they are trying to figure out where their friend is they find out all the crazy stuff they did the night before.
The odd guy through out most of the movie always seemed to end up with no pants on. One scene that was really funny is when they have valet get their car. The valet pulls up with a cop car and says “here is your car officers”. The rebellious teacher looks at the other two and says “stay cool, don’t say a word and just get in the car”. That was just the beginning of what their night was all about. Another funny scene was when they hear someone banging on the trunk and they think it is their friend and they rush to open it and a naked Chinese man jumps out. My husband described it as a monkey jumping on someone. He just jumped out on to one of the guy’s heads and just hits him.
Well with out giving away too much of the movie I think I will end the blog here. This movie is definitely worth the money to go see or rent. They say laughter is the best thing for you so if you are down and out go see this movie and you will be rolling out laughing for an hour and a half.

Case Study: Me as a writer
Writing experiences for me is a blur. I can not really remember a time that I actually wrote a piece of intellectual writing. The last job I had did not require writing. I did accounting so I dealt with numbers all day. The most writing that I do is in the form of a list, text, facebook, etc.
When I write a text for example I shorten words, I do not put in any punctuation. As for a list it just looks like chicken scratch on a piece of paper. Facebook is a little similar to a text but lately I have become more aware of the writings I do on that site. I see others writings and they actually write the way you are supposed to. They have several paragraphs, punctuation, and capitalization as needed. I am terrible when it comes to capitalization and my writings are always one long paragraph. I never separate each topic.
When it comes to school writings I always do them by the book so to speak. I follow all guidelines, use punctuation, etc. I guess I take more pride in these writings because I know I am being graded on them. I am now realizing that I need to take pride in all my writings because it is a reflection of me and the type of person I am.
I am really anxious to start more writings in this class so that I may see how I progress. As I’ve mentioned earlier my writings from the past are a blur, so I want to see how this class has shaped me into a writer. I’ve never thought of myself as a writer and I hope this class helps me write to my potential.
