2nd blogger blogggggggggggg

           English 100B has been very interesting, we've read many very interesting stories that some honestly kinda confuse me. I recently read the story "Mother Tongue" about a young girl who grew up in a home with her mother who spoke very, for lack of a better word, 'broken' English. It was very often hard for people to fully understand her while trying to keep a conversation with her. The young girl often had to speak for and translate what her Mom was saying. Whether it be over the phone or in person. She was often made fun of for her 'broken' English. Her daughter could understand her very clearly, whereas for everybody else, it was very hard to understand her. This story has proven the effect that language can have in ones life. It's very hard to communicate with somebody that you cannot understand. Language is a very important necessity in life. If you live where everybody speaks English, and you are not fluent, many people will not a any idea what on earth you are talking about. Language is a part of our everyday lives. Without it, life would be very complicated. I have no completed my second blog. Woohooooo! haha

My First Blogger Blog

     I am having to write this blog for English class at Richard Bland College, which so far is going fairly well. My English teacher is pretty great and very understanding, which makes him actually very easy to get along with. I am not 100% sure how to do this so far but I am quickly getting the hang of it. I have to type up a blog like this once a week for this whole semester of English, so hopefully I am indeed doing something write to get good grades on it. I'm not too sure if it's okay to throw sarcasm in this, but hopefully it is.... cause it will probably happen. I'm also typing this on my brand new computer that I got a few weeks ago. It is awesome!! College life is treating me well so far. To be honest I wasn't quite exactly looking forward to it... But I was fortunate enough to make friends the first day of the schools orientation so that helped alot. I also already happened to know people who are in a few of my classes here at Richard Bland College. It was definitely a nice surprise to see some familiar faces there. I'm going to try to do my very best in college so that I can be successful in my life to come. I suppose that about wraps up my very first blog. If you read this, I hope you didn't laugh at my epic fail at a blog. But, if you did. I do indeed understand. I would have too.
