I'm sure everyone is looking forward to Christmas/Winter break, now that we get a little over a month off of school. This break is way different compared to high school. In high school you would still have homework for over break, while here your completely done with classes. You don't have to do anything again, its like its summer all over again, but in the winter. This will be a new experience for me. But definitely a good one.
Some people like me hate exams and big papers, and well, in the last week of a college semester what do you think they throw at you? Exams and papers. I hate that, why can't a college just end classes on a good note, by NOT giving a damn exam or paper. Also, now that its getting closer to Christmas you don't have as much time as you once had, because there is so much stuff going on. I guess what I'm trying say is that, it's hard to find time to study for the finals or even write these huge papers that are due on the last day of class. Don't they take in consideration of our lives and that we work, and try to have social lives.
Anyways, personally, I can't wait to get over these final papers and exams because after that its a month of doing nothing but hangin' with friends and family. Also, the best feeling is that you have no school work to worry about!!!!

Driving In The Snow!
Now days it is inevitable, you need to drive to get places, but it's totally different when there is snow on the ground.
Living in Wisconsin my hole life, you would think I would be able to tolerate driving in the snow, but I don't. I refuse driving in the snow, ever since my accident. My accident happened last year when I was driving to school. I had my twin brother and my little sister in the back seat. We ended up doing a 360 degree spin before going down into a huge drop off. The car tumbled down the hill and I was left shitting my pants, worrying about my families safety. The car took on a lot of damage to it. And because of this accident, I was not looking forward to driving in snow anytime soon.
These days I have had a different approach to the hole deal of driving in snow. I say if there is enough snow on the ground to cover up the roads, I won't drive. I now will need a ride from somebody to get to the place where I need to be, or I just won't go. To me, after that accident, I don't ever want to be responsible for driving in those kinds of conditions with my families lives in jeopardy. Some people call me stupid and dumb for resulting to this kind of matter, but the way I see it is they must never have gotten in an accident like mine, with family members involved. If this would happen to the people talking trash to me, maybe they would understand.

Work!
Working is something everybody goes through in there lives in order to reach there financial goals. Some go to college to get a degree to make higher wages, and some start working full time right after high school. But no matter what, working is something that should be fun and entertaining enough to make you want to come make money there. That's why I work at Aeropostale.
Aeropostale to me is a fun place to work. The people that work there are really cool and very friendly. They are easy to talk to and I share common interests with them. My managers are really cool too. We goof around constantly, so its a good day if we get some work done. Also, the environment there is so welcoming, the music is great, and the best part is that I don't have to work with food ever again, and come home smelling like bleach. I also, really like working around clothing that I wear, even though it's tough not to by something after I'm done working. Lastly, the work that I do there some people wouldn't consider work. I fold clothing, stock shelves, and help people with there questions. Yeah, its fun and easy...... and I get paid for it!
This job is one thing that i am thankful for, because it is a place to work which gives me good hours and paychecks, but for the most part, because it is fun and an enjoyable place to work.

My First Deer!
Well, the year his is here! Deer hunting of 2007-08 season is underway, and I am stoked. I have been waiting for this day for a few months now, and its finally here. Hopefully, I shoot something.
This year began like any other year, sitting in our woods hunting, driving out woods, and praying that I'm going to kill a deer. However, this year I just had that feeling that I was going to get a deer, and I would be proud of myself. Well, it was just before close on Monday night that I finally started to see some deer come my way (toward my stand). I had seen bucks and does all weekend but nothing was coming close to me and my stand. Anyway, me and my friend Dan went on the opposite ends of the woods from each other and hunted. When Dan walked to his stand he kicked up three deer, and sent them right toward ME AND MY STAND. However, me being me, I was about to take a nap in my stand and wasn't paying any attention right away. Then, just before, I was going to take my nap I took one more look throughout the woods and sure enough here come three deer running by my stand. I got two shots off at the front deer. It was a really big doe (170lbs or more), but I only grazed it. So after the two shots on the first deer the front two deer took off running up the hill side out of site, while the third deer just stood there wondering what the hell is going on, and I shot it once. I ended up blowing the heart to pieces and the deer dropped dead in its tracks. That was it my first deer. I was excited even though it was what seem to be a doe. Then my dad and I went to gut the deer out and we noticed little nubs on the top of his head. It was a nub-buck, but the tines were not three inches or more so I didn't have to use my buck tag on it.
Anyways now that I got my first deer under my belt, there is only more to come. Like my old man said you got to start somewhere, and once you brake that barrier of your first deer, your smooth sailing from now on. Lets hope that this saying is true!!!

Opening Day Of Hunting!
Opening day of hunting is a day filled with excitement, adrenaline rushes, and hopefully blasting a deer till it falls down and dies. It basically is a national holiday for "hicks." To me it is one of my favorite weekends to experience.
I begin my day, every morning, getting up at five in the morning. I eat a little bit of breakfast before getting dressed. I then prepare myself for a cold morning out in the woods by putting on layers of clothing. I also, bust open hand warmers and toe warmers but not till I'm ready to hed out and sit in my tree stand. After eating and getting dressed, me and some of my hunting buddies (7 of us) talk about where we are going to sit, what time were coming in from hunting, and what to do if one of us gets a deer. Then all seven of us split up and try to cover my woods, and well, once everybody is out and in there tree stand, let the hunting begin.
Hunting to me has been a part of my life. Growing up in Eden and Campbellsport, hunting is a way of life. Being a "hick" is being part of the norm around here. Hunting is a time where everyone talks to one another about their experiences, enjoys being around friends and family, and being able to make that trip down to the Eden Meat Market with deer in the back of your truck. To me, this is a great "holiday" that I look forward to every year, even though I still haven't killed a deer.

Hunting!
Hunting for most people isn't there idea of a fun thing to do because it involves sitting for hours in a tree stand and freezing in the cold weather. Sometimes, you may not see anything either and it could turn out to be a waste of time. But what hunters love most, and non-hunters don't experience, is the thrill you receive when you see a deer walking toward you, or when you fire your first shot at a deer, and actually kill it. This feeling is like no other and is fun to experience.
For me, well I love hunting. I've grown up in this "hick" town, where hunting is a way of life. I do everything hunting related, whether it's going deer shining, setting up deer cameras, throwing apples and corn out by my stands, repairing old stands and setting up new ones. To me, this is almost more fun that actually hunting in general. I guess I would like hunting more than I already do, but I never seem to kill a deer. I always miss, and I haven't dropped a deer in the eight years of hunting. I always get pumped up for hunting every year and when it's all over and all I do is shoot and miss, it is the worst feeling. Almost all of my friends have killed a deer by now, but me. And, another thing, hunting is almost like your killing a deer for bragging rights. Around here my friends give each other a hard time if you shoot and miss or if you don't kill a deer and as of the past seven years I'm the one getting picked on. I just wish that would change.
Anyways, I'm using a different gun this year and hopefully that will do the trick. I too, am praying that this will be the year that I finally get my first deer, whether it be a buck or a doe.

Reading
Reading is not everybody's thing. Some people are slow readers, and some are fast. Some can comprehend what they're reading, and some can't do this as well as others. When it comes down to it all, people have different reading techniques. Some people ask questions while reading, some take notes, and some can comprehend without any assistance. Reading is something that affects our everyday lives and is needed to succeed, whether taking the ACT, reading in an English class, or reading for one's job.
For me, reading has always been hard work. I didn't test very well on the reading portion on the ACT, I never liked reading books because I felt I was too slow, and, reading out loud, I felt was torture because I would stumble over big words and get embarrassed. My mom, being the English teacher she is, always came up with new ideas to try to get us to read. She would reward us with a new DVD, or game or even beanie babies for reading a book and explaining the plot to her. Her tactics surprisingly worked and got us to read for awhile. Reading to me was never on my top list of things to do in my free time, either. I always preferred hanging with friends, watching TV, or playing baseball, instead of reading.
I am the type of guy that's learning to interact with the text, because that way I feel I, can comprehend better. I like to ask questions about the readings, and I like to highlight important phrases or sentences. To me, this helps reading become easier. With my laziness and intimidation factors ahead of me, I realized that in order to get better, I need to keep reading and practicing.

Switching Schools!
Everybody has a dream of someday going to a university that they feel "fits" them. Each person's "picture perfect" university should make him/her feel comfortable meeting strangers, provide a safe work and living environment, and offer the person's ideal major. Also, the university should fit in a reasonable price range that a normal person can afford. Based off these reasons, I would say that UW Oshkosh is the university for me.
I would someday like to transfer out of UW Fond Du Lac and attend UW Oshkosh because I feel that Oshkosh will provide me with all materials I need to reach some of my life long-goals. Oshkosh is a university with great people and great professors. Oshkosh offers great educational programs. Also, the campus isn't to big in size, isn't overwhelming with the amount of students that attend there, provides a great dorming experience, and, from what I've seen, throws some great parties. I also, would like to attend Oshkosh because I would be out of the house, but still close enough to home that if I needed to see my family I could do so. I love my family and want to be as close to home as possible but still living on my own. Even though Oshkosh is somewhat expensive, what college isn't? They all are going to cost a good chunk of money. Hopefully, the money isn't that big of an issue that it affects one's major and doing something that makes one happy. Lastly, Oshkosh is where some of my BEST friends are attending and/or will be going. If I can still be with ten of my best friends from high school during the college years, it would really help in studying, meeting new people, and adjusting to this new stage of life.

Trip to Minnesota!
This summer I took a trip to Minnesota with two of my best friends, James and Weston. I also went with my twin brother Robert. We spent four days at my aunt's and uncle's house. While we were there, we spent everyday doing some fun, exciting activity.
The first day we were in Minnesota we went to the Mall Of America. We spent all day shopping at cool stores like, Zummies, Journeys, Puma, Jimmyz, Urban Outfitters, etc. Then, we went back to my Aunt Julie and Uncle Tim's house and hung out there for the rest of the day. The second day we decided to hop on a train to go downtown and see the sites. We went to some really cool places to eat like the Hard Rock Cafe and Rock Bottom. While downtown, we went to the Picasso Art Exhibit which was really cool, except for getting yelled at because we were to close the artwork. The third day, we went to Canterbury Park to bet on horse races. None of us first timers won any money, but my Uncle. Seeing that he has experience and been there before, he won about $60. That was really fun and exciting to experience. It's amazing how everyone gets so into the horses racing. People were screaming and yelling, it was hilarious. Around 11:30 we decided to go back to my uncles house because we lost all our money betting. The last day in Minnesota, we had spent most of the day at a casino. We played blackjack, and slots. That was lots of fun because it was a different casino from the one's that I've been at before this one. I won about $50 at the blackjack tables and decided to quit while I was ahead. Then, later that day, we went back to the Mall Of America to do some final shopping. After that, we went back to my uncle's and aunt's house, said our thank yous and goodbye's and headed on home.
That was one of my many trips that I took during the Summer. It was fun experiencing new things, and seeing the sites. I definitely will do this again!

My Major!
Everyone probably has had this dream where one day they'll wake up and be successful and rich, with a great career. Well, I don't know about you, but I've had this dream and one thing that makes me wonder is , am I worrying about what will make me really happy, or am I just worried about money and the stuff it can buy?
To me, a decent income is important, but my career choice will not be about the money, even though the pursuit of wealth has been a big part of the media I've been exposed to growing up.
Every MTV show seems to be about fancy "cribs", "pimped" rides and super sweet 16 birthday parties. It's hard for my generation to step away from the "bling".
No, I 'm not buying into that dream. I feel that being a grade school teacher would be a perfect fit for me because I love being around little kids, and making them laugh. I hope to have the opportunity of teaching kids in a fun way, so that they're going to want to learn. Plus, I'll be the cool teacher that all the kids and parents are going to want to have.
Being a grade school teacher would almost be following in my parents footsteps. They, too, have been teachers, but for high school. I don't know if I could handle all the comments and complaining of high school teenagers. However, looking at my parents, and their profession of teaching, makes me feel that I'm choosing something that will be meaningful and provide a comfortable lifestyle. Heck, if my parents can do it, so can I.

The Badger Game!
This past Saturday I experienced my first Wisconsin Badger game. It was nothing like I was expecting. I was expecting a normal college football game with many devoted fans watching and supporting the Badgers, just like any Packer game I had been to, but boy was I wrong.
When I arrived in Madison on Saturday I'm pretty sure I didn't see any other colors but white and red. There were so many people at this college football game. There were college students throwing lawn parties, there were families grilling out, and there were people walking about constantly, whether they were shopping for a Badger shirt or food, or even trying to find their seats. This was like no other sporting event I have ever attended. These fans were devoted to what is now the fifth ranked team in the nation. They would paint themselves, wear Badger apparel, wear crazy hats, and even whip around white towels, while screaming rude chants in tune.
Anyways, the game went very well, even though the Badgers defense was absolutely garbage. The Badgers won 37 to 34, and are still undefeated at 5 and 0. This was an amazing experience that everyone should witness for themselves. I was so impressed that it made me, for that day, want to be a student at UW Madison just so I could attend the games every weekend and be in that wild student section.

The Cubs Final Month!?!?
The Chicago Cubs are one of those teams that always has a reputation of "choking" in September. Well, except for this season, of course. This September, the Cubs have been playing outstanding baseball and are doing nothing but proving to themselves and to their fans that they are determined to win games and, hopefully, make it to the playoffs.
In the month of September, the Cubs have already recorded fifteen wins. As impressive as that is, I believe that the North Siders are winning games due to their indescribable amount of power in their lineup. During this successful month, the Cubs have received more than enough production from their three big men on the team, Alfonso Soriano, Derrek Lee, and Aramis Ramirez. In the past week, the trio has been combining to hit about four-hundred, and have a total of nine homeruns and twenty-two runs batted in. With these three sluggers hitting those kind of numbers, all the Cubs have to worry about is their pitching.
The Chicago Cubs' pitching has been nothing but amazing this month. For the Cubs starting pitching, they have four starters on the team with ten wins or more that can take them deep into games. Also, as of this month, thebullpen has been lights out, saving six out of eight opportunities, and recording four wins.
With this month being as promising as it is, you have to wonder, is this year the year ?! Can they continue to win, hold off the Brewers, and make it into the playoffs? Well, we'll see come October. Go Cubs!

The Packers Have Potential!
Football fans know it's early to be talking about the playoffs, however the Green and Gold are already showing great signs of being a playoff caliber team. The Pack Attack is still undefeated after its only two games into the season because they are showing outstanding production from both the defensive and offensive sides of the ball.
Green Bay's defensive play the past two games has been nothing but impressive. They have not allowed a team all season to get 17 points scored on them. They also have recorded three sacks, two interceptions, four forced fumbles, and three fumble recoveries, which goes to show that our linemen and linebackers are doing nothing but the best. Another intriguing fact is that the Packers have held the opposing teams' rushing to under one hundred yards.
With the Packers defense taking the spotlight the first two games, you can't forget about Number Four and his offense. Green Bay started out slow in the first game against the Eagles, even though victorious, but turned it up when playing a decent team like the Giants. Favre threw three touchdowns and had passed for two hundred eighty-five yards. Also, Favre got a little help from his rookie running backs who rushed for two touchdowns. Green Bay's offensive numbers may be lower than last year's, but they are winning games and that's all that matters.
With the impressive wins, plus what is sure to be a Brett Favre record-setting season, Packer fans have much to be excited about.
