spring

spring is by far the best time of the year. It is the time when everyone is over being sick and tired of the winter. I find it funny that the first day of spring when it hits fourty degrees everyone is outside in there shorts and a t shirt, but if it was 40 degrees in the summer everyone would be bunndled up and not want to go outside, they would complain about the damn wheather. I belevie if you were righ your entire life, and never had to deal with hart times, you would not be able to full apritiate what you have and how lucky of a person you are. Adversity really shapes and molds a person, it brings out true thoughts and emotion. It is really increadable what some people will do when they are put into tough situation. Some may pull through just fine, but other will fail.

favorite food

When i was young my favorite food had to of been chicken noodle soup. I loved hunting for the last noodle in the bottom of the bowl, and then sipping the soup up when i was done. I loved the feeling of always have the the warm broth go down my throut and warm me up. No my favorite food is chicken alfrado. I guess for the most part they are the same because they both have pasta and noodle. I have really changed what i eat now compared to when iwas younger. I used to be very pickey a and hated vegtable. But now i enjoy almost every kind. The one food that i haved when i was younger was meat loaf. Every time i would look at it i wanted to puke. Now i love meat loaf and am excited to eat it. I think that i have just grown acustom to trying new things. And now am willing to try everything once. I sure that when i get onlder my taste for food is going to change and i will want to eat differently

opinion.

One of the most recent times when my opinion matter was during the last few months. It had to do with moving. Me and my two friends where looking for a new place to live and i had to state my opinion on what i wanted. I needed to be clear that i was looking for a newer house with three bedrooms and a a garage. My opinion was important, because it really narrowed the house search down. Now that i stated my opinion, we have found a house that fits pefectly in my standards. Another time when my opinion matted was when i was deciding to go to college. I needed to find a college that had my major, and one that was nice and respeceted. I was very happy when i decided to go to minnesota state university. i feel that it is very important to express your opinion and be heard, just like the presidental election. If people would not express their opinions, then we might have choosen the wrong president, and someone who is going to lead our country in the wrong direction. So voting is always a good way to express an opinion.

wrong teacher

I think that Alex did the right thing, he knew the teacher was wrong and he called him out. There is no reason that alex should be punished for his actions. If Alex were to challege the teacher teaching then the teacher should not argue back with alex, but instead look up the correct answer and accept the fact that he was wrong. It is a bad idea to teach the children the wrong information. They are in school to learn the correct way of thinking not the wrong way. I think the teacher just felt stupid that he was proven wrong and they felt they needed to rebudle. I know that if io found out the teacher was wrong i would simple ask the teacher if they are sure about there answers. There is nothing wrong with admitting you are wrong, it is just a learning practice. And if i was alex there is no way in hell that i would ever serve the detention that i plainly did not deserve. If was Alex's mother i would be very disaponted in teacher behavior tpward my sun and i would have to stick with my son decision to stand up to the teacher.

the weather

In minnesota there are many types of weather, most of the time it is bad. My favorite weather has to be summer. there are so many actcvities that can be done in the summer that can not be done in the colder season of the year. I dont really hate winter, it is jsut not as fun. The worst part of winter for me is having the temp really low, but not being any snow. If it is going to be cold there needed to be snow, so then i can do many activities. One of my favoreite times of winter is when we get one of those fourty degree day and it feels so warm , you see everyone outside in t-shirts and sweat shirt and they are all haveing a good time. I think that is ironic because when the temp goes from seventy in the summer to even sixty then everyone is freezing and dont want to be out in the cold. I am Really ready for summer to come so that i can take my camaro out and go for a drive. It is really nice to wait for the nice day i can take my camaro out for a drive, it is like cristmas but better. i like the changes in weather in minnesota because it is something different, i think that i would get board with the sam weather over and over again every day.

Movies with an impact

The first movie that really impacted my life was E.T. when I was very young i seen this movie and believed it to be true. I wanted to have a little alien friend with a big head that could move things with its mind. I also believe that this was the first movie i ever cried to . I was so sad when E.T had to go home. I just wanted E.T to stay with elliot. There has been alot of songs that have effected my life, but morly a band that has inpacted my life, the name of the band is Disturbed. My favorite band of all time. When I listen to them i am in a totally differnt mind set, i feel like i can do anything. Most band have one or two good song, but not disturbed, all there song are good. I was never a heavy metel guy until i herd this band. I would always make fun of people that could listen to the band that would just sit there and scream the whole time. Now i love listening to those bands. I now realize that they are not jsut screaming, but there is a very meaning behind all the words, and i just needed to listen to understand that.

the music

In my life i listen to alot of music. music helps me get through rough times. Sometimes i like to listen to the more slow music when i am in a chill mood. Music makes me think. When i listen to the words i then really understand what the artist is saying. My favorite time to use music is when i am trying to get pumped up for an event. Whenever i would wrestle i would listen to the band Disturbed, and the same going for when i run track . When i put the music on i go into my own world; i am really focused and content on the race that i am about to run. I can not hear anything but the music and it gives me this release of joy. When i was younger i would only listen to one type of music, but now i listen to all types. I find listening to a variety keeps me from getting board of the same type of music. I guess you could say that listening to music is my hobby. I would rather sit down and listen to some Avenged rather than sit down and watch tv.

brain on a stick

I know that i can be a very inteegint person, someone who can do anything that i put my mind to. But there are just some days when i do not feel like doing anything. Even the littlest of tasks become so dificult. Like that tv remote that is just out of arms reach, and instead of getting up to get if you try all other mean. Like picking it up with your feet. I Think that one of the biggest reasons that peolpe can not do something is the way they are raised. If someone was really raised well their parent would have tough them good work ethic. And that would come into play when they are in school and need to get work done.

pet peave

WOW were do i start. There are so many things that bather me. For starters i can not stand peolpe who are trying to talk to you from another room, their words get muffled and i keep needed to ask "What, What." Anther pet peave of mine is messy people, i can not stand people that do not clean up after themselfs. I think that if you are going to make the mess then clean it up, i should not be the one that needs to clean up after you. And also what is that thing you do dishes in? O ya a sink not a garbage disposale. Dont put shit down the drain that is not what it is used for. Put the the fucking shit in the garbage were it belongs. And my biggest pet peave of all is slow people. People that take twice as long to do something. When I have to wait for someone then i get angry. Is it really that hard to have a little organization in your life. THink ahead to what you are going to do next dont waste my time making me wait for for. If people could fix these things then i would be a much happier person and i think that i would not be as grumpy all the time.

tired

The day is very young, and i am very tired. The week is so young but yet i am so tired. I have an eight oclock class mon -fri and it is not fun. Being tires all the time really makes doing the simples tasks hard. Every morning i wake up to the same alarm with the same idea in my head, " should i sleep through this class?" Then i realize that if i do then i will want to sleep through it all the time. So i compromise and hit the snooze button. Who ever invented the snooze button was a genious. But if you really think about it what is eight more minutes of sleep really going to do? It always takes me a couple of weeks to get into the swing of things when school starts, especially the waking up early. But i find the more often i do it the less and less tires i become each day. I wish there was a pill that you could take that would make you wake up right away with no conciquences. I know that they have energy drinks and coffie to do that, but that is really unhealthy.

what do i exspect from this semester

In freshman composition i hope to accomplish alot. I hope to learn new ideas and concepts that I havent learned in my high school class. I want to be able to write an inteligent paper that makes sense and will earn me a good grade. I want to be able correcly edit my paper. I want the instructor to be very patient and understanding if i dont quite understand something right away. This class is going to prepare me for my future and i want to be able to take as much from it now because it will be the last english class that i will be taking. By the end of the class Iwant to be able to quickly and efficiciently write a paper. I want to not procrastinate about writing the paper and spead it out over the time period given to me. I feel bye doing this the paper as a whole will be better and i will not leave anything out of it.

aliitle about me.

My name is Lucas torres, i was born in blue earth mn. I have moved and lived in many towns around minnesota and other states as well. I came to college my freshman year to wrestle a msu, and now this year i currently run for the track them. I run the decathlon(ten events). I really enjpy riding my bicycle and snowboarding. I just learned to snowboard a coulpe years ago, but am alot better than when i started. I am going to school to be a automotive engineer. I really enjoy being around cars. My favorite quote is "To give anything less than your best, is to sacrifice the gift." Listen to almost all types of music, but prefer hip hop and heavy metal. I drive two cars, a buick lesabre, and a chevy camaro z28. My carmaro is put away for the winter because it does not handle the best in the snow. I have always wanted to travel to Erope, i think it would be awsome to have so many countries that close to each other.
