"I've got the game in the palm of my hand, and I'm playing it better then you think," I was told by my friend ali. Guys seem to think they can "talk" to a few girls at once and get away with it.
One reason why teenage boys (and men that range in their early 20's) make me sick. This line inspires me to keep waiting for the right one to come along. There are so many of them that are cocky and convinced they can get any girl they want, and I hate that. It has become obvious the first time I hang out with a guy that I can tell right away if he will be worth my time or not. This could be the reason why I havn't had a boyfriend in a long time, but i figure, if I'm not getting attached, then I won't get hurt. Through out middle school and high school years, everyone knows that every girl dreams of finding their prince charming and falling in love forever, which is over rated big time. Maybe it will eventually happen, and maybe it won't. What I do know is that I'm not going to base my life around coming across that guy during this chapter of it, and for any other that thinks he can play me, or sweet talk his way in, best think twice.

The Third Assignment
Attendance Policies
College is probably the most expensive, besides car insurance, that students will pay for at this point in their lives. Missing days of class is most likely to happen a few times as well. Why should a professor have the right to kick you out for missing too many classes? You spend crazy amounts of money on the books and classes right? It's your money and education that is being wasted when you don't show. Yet, if your willing to waste precious class time, miss assignments, lectures, and classwork, and still pass the class at the end of the semester, how is that fair to other students who work hard, show up everyday, and complete all their work. They're doing twice as much and passing because they earned it. How can you earn anything if you are never present.

The Fourth Assignment
I noticed that with my girlfriends I tend to talk a lot about going to clubs outside of New Jersey. It's odd because how much can you say on one topic everyday ? Each girl has her own opinion on it, and its interesting to hear about why some of them would and wouldn't want to go based on music, distance, and the weirdos you come across in these places sometimes. After a few minutes the subject is changed to what the other girl your speaking to is more interested in at the time, but because I'm comfortable with that subject, i find it to be the easiest way to start a conversation with someone. Boredom could be another reason why we tend to talk about the same subjects. Sometimes there's an akward silence between you and the one your socializing with, then you feel the need to burst out your thoughts, knowing it could possibly strike up a juicy conversation, rather one where neither of you can only respond a few words to.
Bonus Assignment
If people around the U.S. are aware that a volcano is present underneath Yellowstone National Park, then the people that choose to live there should already be aware of it as well. It deffinitly is the governments responsibility to let people know that the volcano is over due to explode at any time. Everyday the news reports on tsunami's, tornados, landslides and floods that leave people terrorized. The scarey part about it, is that you just never know when it will happen to you. Even though the people are aware of the volcano underneath Yellow stone National Park, its evident that they won't act upon it till the last minute when the vocano errupts.

My night out at Long Horn Steak House.
Located in Howell on Rt. 9 south, the first impression I got when I heard the name Long Horn Steakhouse was that the appearance of the restaurant would consist of western mammals, cows and bulls to be exact. The moment you walk through those double doors it's not hard to miss the massive bull head hanging up on the wall. The place was shadowy and dim, with lanterns in the booths to provide light. The walls were draped with cow heads, horns, cowboy lassos, and rodeo photos of all sorts. The atmosphere was inviting, as well as relaxing and comfortable.
The wait wasn't too bad. On a busy night it could range between 20-40 minutes. Luckily one of my siblings works as a host here, so the moment I entered with my family, there was a booth already set and cleaned for us to be seated at. Our waitress was friendly and spirited. Right away she offered the specials of the day, along with an order of drinks. Every once and a while, the manager himself would walk around and greet the customers with a warm smile and hand shake.
While we waited for our meals to be served, the waitress brought out a loaf of freshly baked warm break and butter served on the side of a wooden cutting board. Not only was the bread delicious, but so was the sides of salad as well.
Everything about my meal was just perfect; from the delicious mouth watering steak to the warm seasoned mashed potatoes on the side. The menu ranged from fresh chicken, thick juicy burgers and sandwiches, lunch steaks, legendary steaks, salads, salmon, ribs, pork chops, Corral, and side dishes of all sorts. Not to mention the various cheesecakes, pies, chocolate cakes, and sundaes under the desserts section. The meals were fairly priced ranging between 12 and 20 dollars a meal.
I had an excellent night at Long Horn with my family. I would recommend this place to families, parties, and friends looking for a unique restaurant with an abundant variety of meals to choose from.

the second assignment
English is too widely spoken for it to die out. It's true that the language is evolving everyday. The other day i was told that "bling" was added to the dictionary now. There are so many words I've never heard of or could even think of a meaning for if i heard them. It's crazy because there are too many words that sound nothing a like but have the same meanings. In class today there was a discussion about the different "dialects" around new jersey, and how if you traveled a few miles out of your area that you wouldnt understand the way others talk. It just goes to show how different our enviornments are that effect the way we learn to communicate with others.
I don't think my thoughts would be that much different if i spoke in a language other then english. I believe my thoughts would change if my enviornment changed along with the language though. People perceive things different based on the culture they were brought up by and the places they live. In general, english will always be here, though not a national language, but thought of as a language to fall back on to communicate to others from different countries since it is so widely spoken.
