Final E110 blog post part 2

So basically my plans for the Summer are pretty basic. I plan on paying extra close attention to the NFL because the more you know when the season starts the more fun it is to watch. When your listening to sports radio you hear about all the NFL tryout guys and how some might make it to the NFL. There is no story greater than watching an un-drafted guy make it in the NFL. The preseason is important because it gives many of these tryout guys experience. If one of them makes the roster they immediately are gonna be a fan favorite because of the story. An example of this is Tony Romo. Say what you will about him but when people mention undrafted players he is always the first name brought up because of his undrafted status. As fans we root for the underdog, and if we pay attention to new players coming out of college undrafted it makes the NFL season so much more fun. Besides that over summer I plan to work a lot. Currently I work at Klondike Kates and Gregory automotive. All the while when i'm working, i'm usually listening to sports radio. I'm going to enjoy not having to do all the homework required for school which was very terrible. All my wasted time doing homework I can now make money. Summer for most is a time to have fun but its all about making money for me. I don't want to end up being one of those people eating romen noodles every night in college because they chose to have fun instead of work.

Final e110 blog post

As a farewell to e110 I feel I should critic the class a bit. The class seemed almost open ended and without structure. This was difficult to get used to because we as students were so used to being told exactly what to do and when to do it. An example of this is word count. I feel that a word count is necessary because then we will all be on the same page when discussing papers we write in class. Overall I enjoyed e110 more than most of the other literature and writing courses I have taken simply because It was less reading and I do not like to read. Another thing I liked about the class is that there were no required annotations with any of the reading we did. I feel annotations take away from your focus when reading because you constantly have to think about whether or not something is worth annotating. In previous classes when I was required to annotate, the annotations only served as a grade and never helped in the long run. I also enjoyed that in E110 there really wasn't any tests or quizes. The closest thing to exams we  had in it was writing papers. I liked this aspect of the class because it was very open ended and didn't require much studying of hard facts. 
One major detraction to the class is that Mr. Jadick is a Giants fan. Eli Manning is the worst quarterback of all time and Odell Beckham Jr.'s hair looks like macaroni and cheese. Now it could be worse. At least Mr. Jadick is not an Eagles fan. Overall I would recommend this class to incoming seniors as it provides you with a college credit.
