Tips for English 304 Success

This class is a really great experience. Not only do you learn how to effectively communicate in the business world, you also get the chance to work with a client and put your noewly obtained knowledge to the test. One tip I would suggest for success in this class is to stay on top of your assignments. When you have group work to do, plan meetings quickly and get as much work done as soon as you can. It is a lot of work so it makes the semester go a lit smoother when you are working hard early. Another bit of advice is to go talk to Angie about anything you have the smallest question about. She really does do everything in her power to give people who deserve an A that grade. She will work with you all semester. Good luck in class and enjoy it. It really is a beneficial course, especially when you take it from Angie.

A Good Ole Southern Thanksgiving

My Thanksgiving this year, as it is with many people, was full of family. This year, we decided to eat Thanksgiving supper at my new 2nd cousin's Mother and Father's house in Peachtree City, Georgia. Peachtree City is about 35 minutes south of Atlanta. Once we were ready to eat, Amber's Mother told us to split up into the Girl's Dining Room and the Boy's Dining Room. She said that the boys were allowed to watch Football on TV. Little did she know, that I wanted to watch the football game! As we started eating, our conversation was focused along the lines of how women should not have to do anything mechanical or sports related. The conversation was really frustrating and my input was "I know how to change my tire", and "I changed my own oil this summer". The conversation went on and on and I found myself poking my Mom in the side every time something ridiculous was said. Hopefully next Thanksgiving will not be as old-fashioned and I will feel more comfortable in adding my thoughts into the conversation.
