don't be forgetful
So I haven't updated this in a while. I thought I would tell a short story.
So on Sunday I had to wake up pretty early because I had to get to church at 8 AM to set up for half time. Anyway, I got out of bed and way still way tired. I grabed my toothbrushing bag thing and headed off to the bathroom to take a shower. Once in the shower I realized I didn't have my shampoo or soap so I put some of my clothes back on ran to the room and got those.
It wasn't till after my shower that I realized I had forgoten my towel. It was a good thing no one was really awake at that time because I ended up just putting my boxers back on while I was all wet. These boxers are white... I'll let your imagination do the rest for you if you want.
Anyway dont forget to take your towel when you go take a shower. At least I remebered my keys.
And here is a funny excerpt from my reader. Yay for high school essays:
Where do writers get the idea in the first place that a thesis should be static? In most cases they learned it early in their writing careers as part of a stubbornly inflexible organizational scheme known as five-paragraph form.
Perhaps the best introduction to what's wrong with five-paragraph form can be found in Greek mythology. On his way to Athens, the hero Theseus encounters a particularly surly host, Procrustes, who offers wayfarers a bed for the night but with a catch. If they do not fit his bed exactly, he either stretches them or lops off their extremities until they do. This story has given us the word "procrustean," which the dictionary defines as "tending to produce conformity by violent or arbitrary means." Five-paragraph form is a procrustean formula that most students learn in high school. Although it has the advantage of providing a mechanical format that will give virtually any subject the appearance of order, it usually lops off a writer's ideas before they have the chance to form or stretches a single idea to the breaking point. In other words, this simplistic scheme blocks writers' abilities to think deeply or logically, restricting rather than encouraging the development of complex ideas.
If you read that and didn't think it was amusing, then I don't know what to say to you.
till next time.
