My upcoming weekend will hopefully be very interesting. Since me and some of my friends are what you will call loners, I guess. So on the night of Sadies we plan on having a very lit 2k tournament. For those who don't know what 2K is, it is basically a basketball game played on a Game system. So I plan on dominating this tournament. The only problem is that we do not have a venue for this wonderful occasion.If we do not find a venue that will be the only thing that will mess up my weekend.
If you are reading this and want to be apart of this tournament or we can host at your house please let me know. If this tournament does not happen, I think I'm going to cry my sorrows away and stay in bed all weekend. Which does not sound like a bad idea because i need some serious rest. I just hope I can get through the week first. Which is highly likely but it is going to be hard.

ATDPTI
The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian was kind of weird but at most most moments it is actually a good introduction. The way the author starts off grabs your attention and then start to tell an interesting story. The introduction makes it seem like what the author was about to say is going to be interesting funny and needed to be heard. The book is also very humorous and is made like you are talking directly to the author. He gives his reasoning for writing this book and his life growing up.
What really throw me off but is meant to be funny is how he makes fun of things. He makes fun of himself. He makes fun of himself getting bullied and being poor. That is a weird way of grabbing your audience's attention but it worked. Most space on a page is taken up by a picture which makes everything he says visual. This makes it easier to understand.

Thirty Years' War
My topic is known as the Thirty Years' War. My specific research question is: What was the most significant effect of the war? The Thirty Years' War was fought between most European states. The war was a religious war like the Crusades. If was fought on the idea of equality between Catholics and Protestants.
When the war was over there were many effects that shaped Europe to what it is today. The most important effect was it was one of the last and stopped many religious wars from happening. Other effects vary from money problems to boundaries being set. The Thirty Years' war was not like any war. This is because of it being a religious war that was actually thirty years.

Last Semester
Last semester I realized that I am the biggest procrastinator. When I have a long period of time to do some thing I wait to the last minute to do it. I have time to get it done early but instead I try to rush and do it the night before.Procrastination is a problem with most people. When you procrastinate in high school i found out that it just stresses you out. On top of that it make your grade in classes go down.
This semester, to not procrastinate soon as I get an assignment I will at least start on it. This will help me to have some of it done when I go back to it. Plus it will give me an overview of how much work I would have to put in. This semester will be 100 times better if I also look at Whipple Hill every night. So the key for this semester is not to procrastinate and be responsible.

Free Post
My winter break consisted of no fun. Basketball is fun to me but I'm talking about going to the movies with your friends of going out to eat. Instead of that I had basketball practice and games. The only peace I got over the break was on Christmas. Although I still didn't have peace then because I had to spend the whole day with family.
Even New Years' Eve was horrible because it rained the whole time. When it rained I did not have a chance to pop any firecrackers and they are still sitting in my living room today. So overall my break was not the best and I really did not get a break. Also like everyone say it was not long enough, we need more breaks.
Research Update
My research is up to par and is going well. Although I feel like my topic is kind of broad and it is hard to formulate a research question. When trying to formulate a question it is hard not to do a descriptive question. It would be so much easier if we could do descriptive questions. Also coming up with topic for each notecard is very challenging without doing a brief outline first.
When we get past notecards the rest of the paper should be a breeze. The note cards basically lead up to the detailed outline and from the outline you say the same things in the paper. So the notecards are the hardest thing in the process of writing this research paper. If it was not to late I would change my whole research topic.
