Euchre

Tonight is the night where a couple of friends and I will be entered into a euchre tournament at the student center. For all those who do not know what euchre is, it is a card game played with only twenty-four cards, the Nine through Ace in each suit. It's difficult to explain through writing so to learn, one would have to watch and play. Euchre is my favorite card game, there is no other game I would rather play more. There are many types of euchre and my favorite is bid euchre, but to understand that, one would have to learn regular euchre first, which is what I am playing tonight. I don't know how many people will be participating in this tournament, but the winner moves on to state, so hopefully I win, but I don't know if I would want to move to state. Only time will tell.

Presentation

Today my group did our presentation. It was over drugs and how, if legalized, can be beneficial for the government and the economy. The group met a couple times to work on the project before the presentation, so I think that helped in making the presentation run a little smoother. It wasn't the best, but I think we did alright as a group who didn't know much about the drug laws and such. I think, depending on how she grades, we could probably receive a B over all of it. The pamphlet and radio broadcast helped out with the presentation a lot. I think it went well.

Group Progress

Today in group, we decided to edit the pamphlet that we are presenting. The pamphlet is suppose to be more for the older generations of people and it will tell them the advantages and disadvantages of legalizing drugs. The point of legalizing is not for the use of it to be abused, but more for the use of it to be an economy booster. We plan on re-designing the pamphlet so that the older generations can appreciate it more and will actually plan on reading it once they get it and not just throw it away. Legalizing drugs is for the benefit of America.

The Break Of The Past

As we all know, school has started up again, since Thanksgiving break is over with now. But what is even more depressing is that the break came and went, way too fast. Most people had break from Wednesday November 25 to Sunday November 29. But I, on the other hand, had a much longer break, in fact my break was about double that of most peoples' breaks. My official last day of classes was Friday November 20. I left around one o'clock right after my Biology Lab. I was able to do this, with no regret about missing class, because I had no class, and I will tell you why. As you may remember, I once wrote about me not having class on Monday, so that is still in affect. But the real question is how I was able to leave Tuesday, and that is because the Friday class that was suppose to be made up on that day was already made up. See, my Friday class is Biology Lab and that is the only class I have on Friday. Way back when Fall Break came around, my Lab instructor decided to make up that lab the day before Fall break, that Thursday. It just didn't make any sense to make up the lab weeks down the road because by then, biology class would be way past that material and far into other material. That is why my break was so long, not only that but today was my first day of class since November 20, because,as I said before, I have no class on Mondays.

Pamphlet Work

My job is to put together a pamphlet about how crime is related to drug use and the fact that if drugs were legalized, then no one would have to steal money for the drugs in order to pay back a debt so that person can keep his or her life. I found a statistic that said, "Someone is arrested for violating a drug law every 17 seconds." (http://war-on-drugs.suite101.com/article.cfm/financial_cost_of_the_war_on_drugs/) People don't realize how much violence there is in this world because of people fighting over drugs. If drugs were allowed, then people would not have to hide and steal the drugs.

Group Work

Yesterday Drew and I started working on our project. We are using a pamphlet in order to show everyone our topic and to show our point of view. The topic is about drugs and how, if legalized, can benefit the economy in many ways. There would be less crime and there would be more money for the government, because the government would control the buying and selling of drugs and make money off of it. And in return, the money gained could be put back into the economy to give it a little boost. Our proposal is not just so people can get high and enjoy life, but its for the safety and future of this country and others.
