Modern Warfare 3

     I recently bought the new Call of duty: Modern warfare 3, and I love it. It has all the features of the older games, with some new stuff thrown in there as well. This game is very popular, and when I went to the store to get it the line was rapped all around the store, and then out the door. I heard on the radio that there had been over nine thousand copies reserved for the game before it even came out. Of course I was one of those nine thousand people who reserved it, but I didn’t go at midnight to pick it up which I could have done. I was lazy, and didn’t feel like doing that which probably was a good idea because the line was still huge the next day. You can imagine what the line was like at midnight.
     I really like this game, and all the ones that came before it. If you have played the other ones which I know some of you have, it’s just an upgraded version of the other ones. If you have not played them it is a first person shooter, and puts you in pretty realistic scenarios of war. The first game was World War II, and now they have taken it to World War III or what it could be like. It also has the online part where you can play with people from all over the world. Online is cool because they have team death match. That’s when you get two teams of six people each, and you run around on a certain map or stage and try to kill the other team. It has a score system, and the team that reaches a certain score first wins.
    It’s a really fun game, but it’s a little violent so if you have kids you may want to watch out for this one. I also like it because of the story mode which is pretty realistic and gets sort of intense at some points. This one starts out with Russians having New York City locked down, and you as an Army Ranger have to go disable a tower that jams radio signal, and guidance systems. That’s just the beginning, and there are a lot more missions with Navy Seals, and other special operations groups. It’s a really fun, and exciting game if you like that kind of stuff. I would recommend it to anyone who like to play video games.

(FFN)

   Let’s see I would say this book has had a pretty good effect on how I look at hamburgers. Now when I think of hamburgers I stop, and think about everything that goes into making it. I learned a lot of things I didn’t know about in this book. I mean I knew that the feedlots were they slaughter the cows was a pretty nasty place, but I didn’t know exactly how nasty it was. I also knew that they hired a predominantly illegal workforce, but I didn’t know that they were treated so badly. I always thought that they were treated at least with some respect, but according to Fast Food Nation they are treated almost like animals. As far as the way I live my life? I don’t think it is going to make me stop eating fast food. I mean I grew up in this fast food nation, and it’s a part of everyday life for me. I know fast food is bad for me, but sometimes I just can’t help it. It’s just so much easier to go out and grab some fast food than it is to cook up something at home. I would have to say that now that I have read this book I think I’m going to try to cut back on eating fast food.

This semester is going ?

  The lie I told was  that i have been to Australia.
  This semester is going pretty good for me so far. I am taking four classes this semester so the workload is a little rough. I think I can handle it though. I am taking English 101 of course, Biology 101, Astronomy, and a Math class. So far I think I’m doing alright in all of them. I have a test coming up in Biology, and Astronomy this week, so I have been studying for that. I think I would have to say that math is the easiest, just because I can knock out the homework in about an hour. Most of the homework for all my other classes is online. This online homework is a little new to me so I had to get the hang of it, but now it actually makes it easier. Plus when you are taking an online test at home you can always use Google. I thought it was funny because the teachers joked around about that fact as well.
    So far I am enjoying school though, and I think it’s a lot easier than I thought it would be. Taking four classes is a little tough, but I like it because it keeps me busy. I don’t have a job, and I’m drawing unemployment so it’s nice to have something to do with my free time. I am also using the G.I. bill to come to college so I get paid to go. I mean what more motivation to go to school do you need. Plus I know that everything will pay off in the end. I think those two put together are my main motivations for college.

i need to quit smoking

       One thing I have really changed my opinion about is smoking cigarettes. I started smoking when I was around 14 or 15 years old. I started smoking because I thought it was cool when I was younger. Now my opinion has really changed, and I don't think its cool anymore. This change took a long time to happen, and is still a work in progress. I still smoke cigarettes every day, but I have managed to cut back a lot. I used to smoke a pack a day or more. Now I usually smoke about a pack every two days or so. I have been trying to quit for a while, and have tried almost everything to help you quit. I want to try chantix, which is a prescription pill that is supposed to really help people quit. I have asked my doctor for it when i was still in the military, and he made me try some other pill first that didn't work. He said he couldn't give me chantix until i've tried the other one first, and it don't work. Quitting smoking is one of the hardest things i have ever tried to do. I'm still trying, and next time i see my doctor I'm gonna ask for chantix again. Hopefully I get it, and it works. If not I guess I'll have to do it on my own. I wanna keep cutting back more and more until I don't need them anymore. I think that might work. Whatever I do I gotta quit smoking, and I need to do it soon.
