Article Response

I think the article was well written, i liked how they put "texting slang" at the begining.I think it's alright to have cell phones in class to an extent, however i think the fact that our generation relys on them is quite pathetic. I think it's nice to have a cell phone, but it shouldn't be a requirement. I think if someone whips out a phone in class and they miss something important, it's their own fault, and teachers shouldn't care because they can't do anything about it. If a person finds the class boring they wont be paying attention regardless if they're texting or not. Texting is just what people do when they're bored and i think people can pay attention and text at the same time. I think texting dilemas have been blown way out of proportion. If texting in class weren't such a forbidon fruit maybe people wouldn't try to hide it so much and do it all the time. The world will catch on soon enough

Hi everyone, my name's Taylor Mcnicol, I took this class (writer's Craft) because i dropped co-op and i had to fill up my day 2. I'm actually quite glad i did, because this class seems pretty neat, and i think i probably would've chosen to take it anyway. In this class i hope to learn how to be more confident in my writing and just get more skill or something.

Writers i admire are probably Rhonda Byrne she wrote "The Secret" and she has a new book called "The Power" and i always like to read those books because they have interesting stuff in them. I also like James Frey he wrote a million little pieces , it's supposed to be a biography, but apparently he made some of it up, but i don't care because i really liked the book.

After high school I either want to go to Art school, or be a flight attendant. I haven't decided, but i think even if i do go to art school, i'll probably want to be a flight attendant after, because no matter what i decide i want to do, i always come back to flight attendant. I would just like to verify that i don't want to go to art school because i think i'm so amazing at art or anything, because if anyone sees my art and thinks i think that they wouldn't be impressed. I just want to go because i love art, and i want to get better at it.

I don't really know what get's me out of bed every morning, hence why i always miss the bus i suppose, also hence why i'm writing this blog post at 9:48pm because i missed class today. I guess seeing my friends get's me out of bed, and when i put on my Ipod that wakes me up a bit. Oh, also i love food, so food is definately what gets me out of bed!

Well i guess thanks for reading this, sorry if it bored you. :)
