common text speech

This past summer wasn't the first time i had read the graphic novel Persepolis. I read it the spring semester of my senior year of high school. I enjoyed reading it then but i enjoyed reading even more this past summer. My senior year i only read the first book but the reading the second book as well as the first book was so much better. It made it much easier to relate to and be able to relate to my life now. The speaker tonight was very insightful about the text but also very confusing and wordy. I don't know how i felt about her presentation. I felt like it was very hard to follow and she was very textbook in the way she presented it to the class. It was hard to relate to and also to understand. I felt like she complicated something that was easy to comprehend. I just wasn't a fan of her presentation and the way she described graphic novels in general. No offense but a comic is a comic. Graphic novel is a fancy term for comic and i think she just didn't want to admit that. Overall i wasn't a fan of the speech on the "graphic novel" but was a fan of the book overall.

10-21-10 class and public transportation event

classsssssss
- I really enjoyed class last thursday. it was fun to learn more about baltimore and be able to connect things that i have done or seen to the new information we learned in class. i also thought getting a little more insight on ways to get around would be helpful since me and my friend mel were planning on going to the mall on saturday.

public transportation issue event
- so since we learned about other ways than the collegetown shuttle to get to the mall or other places i thought me and mel could handle it going to and from the mall. i was wrong. getting there we were fine but getting home was the issue. so we shopped for about five hours so we were exhausted by the time we needed to get back and it was dark out. so we took the public bus there and getting home we thought we would do the same. clearly that wasn't the case. we saw a bus went to see if that was it and it wasnt saw the college town shuttle and that wasn't going to loyola either saw another bus but that want it either so after an hour of trying to figure it out we just got a cab. i can't wait to have a car next year.

jerseyyyyyyy

so for fall break i went home to the dirty jersey! i have to admit i was nice to be home but it was weird being away from school. like when i was home thursday night i was like wait why am i not going back to my dorm. my mom said it was a good thing cause that means that i'm settled in and feel comfortable here. anywaysssss friday i went to visit my best friend at her school and we went to our favorite band's concert (mayday<333333) and she showed me around. legit i think her room is the size of our bathrooms in flannery and you have to wear shoes to go in the bathroom and have a key to unlock it, it was weird to say the least. we are so spoiled with the rooms here and to be honest i don't know how she does it. then saturday i went to a family party and got to see my family and then visited my other best friend at rutgers. it's nice that my friends decided to stay close to home cause that way whenever i'm home i can see them or if i go to see them i can stop home. i can't wait until both of them come visit me it's going to be so much fun and just can't wait! omg and being home i got to get a real bagel it was so good omg. also i got to drive my car and go to my favorite starbucks and it was just a nice change of pace and a good break for me. so i think that's about it..
