Being Comfortable with Your Writing

Throughout this course I realized that I shouldn't be so close-minded about learning outside my major. I was always hesitant to live on the edge with my work due to the simple fact that it wasn't information I was comfortable/familiar with. Although I was slightly insecure about coming into the class unfamiliar with this particular style of writing, I realized that my experience could be an amazing different one from others.
The first couple of assignments made me feel discouraged. I took my time, yet still couldn't achieve the grade I was looking for. On the next assigments I really looked through the AP Stylebook and Writing for the Mass Media to see exactly what I was doing incorrectly. After doing so I started to see improvements in my writing.
Professor Eaton helped me discover a different side to my writing. The topics we are told to write truely brought out the writer in anyone. From in-depth descriptions to feature news story, they really put writing into perspective from every angle. This class was just what I needed to feel more comfortable and confident with my work. I would have to say this course is the first writing course I have taken, actually enjoyed, and could see myself taking another like it.

BUDWEISER CLYDESDALES COME TO PARADE AT CEDAR POINT


On Jun. 12, to celebrate an end to prohibition Anheuser-Busch will have one of their five Clydesdale teams appear at Cedar Point Amusement Park/Resort in Sandusky, Ohio. This event is promoting the selling of Anheuser-Busch in St. Louis, Mo. Make sure you save the date for this special occasion because the horses will only be at the park one day. The Clydesdale team will be showing from 1:30-2:00 p.m. and 2:30-3:00 p.m., free with park admission.

The day parade will be along the park's midway. The Clydesdale will travel along the midway from the Sky Ride to the front of the park before ending at the Wicked Twister roller coaster. The Clydesdales will also be on display near the Wicked Twister.
August Busch Jr., August Busch Sr. son, bought a new car and it was a team of Clydesdales. Anheuser-Busch initially used them in 1933 to celebrate the repeal of Prohibition. They currently serve as mascots for the Budweiser brand and make many appearances at events around the country.

The Clydesdale team consists of eight horses per team and two back-up horses. These great horses are considered “Draft” horses due to their particular build. The Clydesdales must stand at least 6 feet tall and weigh between 1800-2300 pounds. The horses normally eat 20-25 quarts of horse feed/grain, 50-60 pounds of hay, and 30 gallons of water. The horses will be pulling a vintage beer wagon. Theses horses are the best of the best. Millions of people every year see these magnificent horses.

Pro Quarterback, Brady Quinn, will also be making an appearance at the amusement park on Jun. 14. The park will have “Brady Quinn Day.” During his visit, Quinn, the third-year quarterback for the Browns, will hold a session for fans beginning at noon. Afterward, Quinn will pose for pictures until 1:15 p.m.

Sexting: Mom, but Vanessa Hudgens does it!

Sexting, a phrase used for sending nude or semi-nude pictures via text messages. Vanessa Hudgens caught sexting. The National Campaign to Prevent Teen & Unplanned Pregnancy and CosmoGirl.com surveyed teens about sex and technology, and said that nearly 1 in 5 teens have sexted. According to a College News story:

• Vermont lawmakers seek to decriminalize sexting by minors
• The state of Vermont does not believe children ages 13-18 should be punished in such harsh ways for sending consensual pictures through text messages.

Schools and parents struggle to find an appropriate way to deal.
