In Class: Freewrite
I wish that I didn't have class at 8am.
I wish my roomate woke up after me or at the same time as me.
I wish I had my own thermostat in my room so I did not always have to be cold.
I wish my roomate did not wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.
I wish I had a gallon of milk, so I could have ate breakfast in my room instead of going to the BLUU.
I wish there was not a lady in my music class that walks around and supervises, because everyone on facebook gets us in trouble.
I wish they had chicken nuggets and corndogs every day in the BLUU, so I did not always have to eat a lame salad.
I wish I had the motivation to go to the REC.
I wish my dog was here so I could take him on a walk.
I wish I did not have to write a journal along with my reading for religion every week.
I wish I did not have mold in my sink.
I wish my dorm did not have a different disgusting random smell everyday.
I wish my neighbors were a little more quiet at night.
I wish we still had 24 hour visitation.
I wish the internet worked on the lawn behind Colby.
I wish the parking lot was closer.
I wish I drove my car more when it was here, so I did not have to leave it at home.
I wish students LOVED going to football games more.
I wish I took at least one more class to get some more hours out of the way.
I wish people cared about going to class, and succeeding.
I wish I took summer classes this past summer.
I wish we could sign up for classes whenever, instead of last, so they did not fill up.
I wish I knew what I wanted my major to be.
I wish I didn't have a fish, he smells.
I wish TCU really associated with the 'Christian' in their name.
I wish froggy 5-O would figure out their system better.
I wish my roommate would go in the hall to talk on the phone.
Provoke disagreement:
-going to bed before my roommate
-roommate on the phone in the room
-people caring about their class
-TCU being more associated with Christian
-Chicken nuggets in the BLUU
-parking
-students not going to games
Coming in to TCU, I did not realize that TCU was not associated with the 'C' for christian in its name. I think that with TCU having christian in its name, they should'nt be able to just be like 'oh we don't affiliate with christian anymore'. I have friends at A&M and Baylor who have the most amazing school wide church/youth events. Its not that surprising for Baylor, but A&M has nothing in its title that has to do with it being a christian school. I think having religious community events can bring a school together. We had that one event, afterdark, but that was a once a year deal. People have mini worship services outside on their football fields. This is so awesome because one, the football field is a main point of attraction, and two, it brings people together.
People who disagree will say that they are on their own now and have been raised always going to church, and doing church related things with their family, but now they are away and arent required to do anything. People who also disagree will say that people believe in whatever they want and should not be having to participate in something that 'everyone else' believes in. Some people might think that TCU being more christian might divide people who do not have the same religious beliefs, instead of bringing people together.

Rhetorical Response #4
I found the reading about the second amendment pretty boring compared to the other papers that we have read and wrote about. This kind of makes me nervous to write this paper because I hope I will be interested in what I am writing about. I personally never am around handguns and no one in my family owns a handgun, except my grandpa, so I do not connect that much with the second amendment. In the second reading, I found this, "no one in the district could posses a functional firearm in his or her residence" was really fair. This applied to everyone, no matter if they "honest, and responsible citizens" or not. What surprised me while reading the two excerpts is how close the 5-4 vote was and how people react to the second amendment. No one will ever agree on what they think the right to bear arms should entitle, therefore the vote probably will never be unanimous. It surprised me how much people and the government really are concerned about gun rights.
The first visual has a humorous spin. It seems like some people with guns do what they want, and then try and back it with the second amendment. I thought the second visual, was funny, but a bit dramatic. In the top right box, when the guy says "the erosion of freedom is not a pretty sight", I don't think not being able to own a weapon or have a loaded handgun in your house is even close to the 'erosion of freedom'. That is an extreme exaggeration. I think the second amendment is an important issue to try and clear up, but since people have their own arguments and will never agree, it is hard to completely solve the issue of the second amendment. I think it is important for the government to try and come to an agreement as to what the second amendment really applies to, but I also found it interesting that people are just now really concerned about what the second amendment is about.
After reading this I am a little nervous for this upcoming paper. It seems like it is going to be difficult and take a lot of time to write, to make it efficient and effective. Reading this helped me sort of figure out how to construct my paper. Both excerpts did a good job of not taking sides and used facts to develop the issue in a way that wasn't biased. I hope to make my paper a little bit more interesting than the excerpts I read from the common reading.
