Mid-term
I'm trying to figure out how most of my classmates finished their test so quickly. Did they come to class with essays already prepared? Did they prepare their essays and write them in class from memory? Or are they just that much quicker than I am at writing essays? I spoke to one classmate today and he told me he came to class with 2 prepared essays to turn in. I guess I will bring prepared essays to class next time we have a test. When in Rome, right!
munchausen mystery
This is an unusaul subject matter and interesting as well. It's about crazy people whom fake terminal illnesses at hospitals around the world. The crazy people go to extreme measures to appear ill. They get off on wasting professionals time. If anything, I thought it would have been to be cared for by cute nurses. But it had nothing to do with sexual desires at all. It was worse than that. They do it out of sheer boredom and untamed rage. I'm not trying to understand these Munchausen patients. I'll leave that to the psychologist to figure out. Hell, I think those guys are usually just as crazy as the Munchausen patients.

next essay on deck
I am a little bit worried about the upcoming essay we're required to write for class. It seems to be more difficult to write. The topic that I'm considering is the pathway to police corruption. The reason for my interest is because I'm pursuing a law enforcement career. I have some knowledge on the subject and have some personal sources that I can interview for the essay. The only problem is the broad field of the subject of police corruption. I'm trying to figure out if I can fit the important issues into one essay. I'll need to plan it out well to be able to prove the right points about the subject.
runners high
The essay about running was written very well. The description is pretty accurate for someone that enjoys running. I am a really good runner, but I need to listen to music from my MP3 player or talk to a running partner to enjoy the experience. That is the only way I can block out the boring experience of running. The other way I can enjoy running without music or talking is racing against other runners. But I can agree with the author's example of runners high and having an out of body experience during the run with no memory of the course traveled. It does happen when a runner is fit and it doesn't happen when the runner is unfit.

Fight Night
It’s that time of the month again, not for a chick’s menstrual cycle to take place but for another championship title fight for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). I’ve got to set up for another BBQ gathering for my friends and I to enjoy the event. A BBQ is an affordable way to feed your guest well and is most appreciated by all. There are different types of food which can be the main course, depending on the time of year. But the outcome is always enjoyed by all guests. A BBQ is the best way to please your guest at a UFC fight party.
First thing is to invite and confirm the number of guest wanting to come to the party, to determine if the party is worth having. Six guests is the minimum number and twelve guests is the maximum number that I want to cook for. Less than six guests and we’re better off watching it at the Beer Hunter Bar because it’ll cost the same and I wouldn’t have to do any work there. More than twelve guests is too much work, is too expensive and the guests won’t be able to sit and watch the fight comfortably.
After determining the appropriate amount of guest that will attend the party, I can now order the fight with a few simple clicks on my remote control to the digital cable box on the day of the fight; just in case too many people back out of there commitment to attend. I don’t want to be stuck with the bill to a party that never took place.
It’s time to buy the food and beer from any local carniceria market. A carniceria market is a meat/convenience store. This BBQ will be cooking carne asada tacos with toppings. 10-20 pounds of prepared carne asada is needed. Prepared carne asada is when the thinly sliced beef is seasoned. After the meat, buy two different types of salsa, mild and hot because variety is necessary to please your guests. Buy Mexican crema sauce and a stack of corn tortillas. Buy a 30 pack of beer and two large bags of ice. Have your guests bring the bulk of the beer supply because it’s common courtesy to bring beer to a party that you plan to drink at. Then, buy which ever type of fuel required for your cooking grill. I use propane fuel because it can be used for lots of consecutive parties and everyday cooking use.
First thing when returning back from the market is to unload the groceries and put the beer in a cooler on ice near the food layout table. Depending on the amount of meat needed to be cooked is how early in advance the cooking should begin. Ten pounds and tortillas can be cooked in thirty minutes and twenty pounds and tortillas can be cooked in an hour. So make your decision based off of the amount of food. And remember it’s a party, so have a beer while you’re grilling the meat. Once all the meat is cooked, chop it up into small pieces and put it on a large tray and put tin foil over the meat to keep it warm. Then put the carne asada, salsas, crema sauce and tortillas on one table with plates, spoons and napkins for the guests to serve themselves throughout the party. Last thing for the set up is to put out a trash can and let your guests know where it is.
It’s 7 p.m. and the fight event is beginning. Have all your guests find their preferred seat near the T.V. and adjust the volume according to the popularity of the certain fight taking place at different times throughout the night. Now enjoy yourself, eat, drink plenty of beer and have fun watching the warriors beat the hell out of each other on T.V. for everybody’s entertainment.
Throughout the night and upon conclusion of the party, your guests have been socializing with one another, laughing, smiling, and getting drunk. They can’t stop complimenting how well the carne asada was cooked and how much fun the fights were to watch with friends and like-minded people. The party is guaranteed to become a success and this will not be the last UFC fight event/BBQ that you host at your home.

to bid the world farewell
Another boring process essay. I didn't enjoy reading this essay either. It may be interesting to some depressed emo kid but not to me. Again, it was chronological but there were too many steps to keep track of. It wasn't the easiest essay to follow. This is 15 mins. that I'll never get back after reading this essay.
catching garage sale fever
The garage sale process essay isn't to my liking. All the steps were in chronological order and it was well written, but I didn't enjoy reading it. I guess I'm not the garage sale type of person. The writer promises big profit with minimal effort and work. But the process seemed to be lots of work with minimal profit. So the writer didn't prove the thesis. If anything, it was disproved.
