survivor

  My daughter really caught me off guard tonight. She asked me for a dollar, which is nothing new, but she stated it was for a ribbon. I told her i could buy her a whole roll of ribbon for two dollars. She said, "no mama I want to buy Miss Christina a ribbon because she is a survivor." I was humbled and gave her five dollars. Miss Christina is a teacher at my daughters school who at the young age of twenty eight was diagnosed with breast cancer. She is indeed a survivor. The ribbon my daughter wanted had a meaning that even a child understood.

  I have certainly learned my vocabulary is lacking. I was certain of some of the vocabulary words,but others I had no clue as to their meaning. I think i have really limited my variety of words when I stopped reading books.I still enjoy reading, but I am limited in my time. Kind of like the saying if you don't use it, you lose it! I also learned I remembered more then I thought from English 1 and Writing Fundamentals. Which has been great. I am not as uncertain as I was the first go around.

  Now for the quesions. I am wondering if anyone else is still uncomfortable with their blog. I am a Facebook addict. So I am not so sure  as to why this blog has me bent out of shape. It's not like I am social media shy.

To digi or not to digi?

    So, I guess the question of the week is (drum roll please) are we going digital and perhaps loseing interest in good old fashioned text? Seriously, I am the student who is at this very moment as I am  type this wondering if I am correctly set up to blog. Are these thoughts bound to be read by my fellow students and eventually graded by my teacher or will they be lost into cyber abyss. At this point it's any ones call. I do most certainly believe that the time of digital is takeing over.

    Now to how I feel about the new wave digital seige? To sum it up in one word "LOST".I do own a Kindle reader. I got a few books on it, but for the most part it has remained in its box in my drawer. I like going to Hastings,and as my kids look at the at the newest cds I browse the books. I enjoyed keeping a journal as a little girl, but my daughter only has interest for her Ipod. My kids act as if reading a book is only to be done when as assigned for homework. Kind of how I view this blog. I am not at all excited about the technical take over, but what do you do? The world is changeing; you either keep up or get let behind.

Miss Hall I am super pumped to have  this blog, but I will come by tomorrow so we can try on one of the three accounts I tried and miserably failed at setting up.
