My sorority
I'm in the sorority Kappa Alpha Theta. I absolutely love being in this sorority and I love all of my sisters. I have so much fun with them. Next year we get to live in the village which I'm so excited about because we get our own bathrooms and we actually get a walk in closet. I'm so excited!
Paper Problems
When writing my paper the onlu real problems I had was I felt like I was repeating myself. Also length was hard for this one because of the subject. Usually there are lots of articles about my subjects but I couldn't find as much as I thought I would. Eventually I found what I was looking for but for the longest time I couldn't find anything. Everything ended up being fine though.
Best Friends
At the beginning of this year me and my best friend had a fight and weren't talking. It was over something really stupid and I couldn't understand what really happened. We have been friends for 4 years and I think the stress of starting college made us grow apart and caused problems. Now though we are friends again! She is still my best friend.
Blast from the Past
You know what I hate when someone that you really don't like tries to contact you and wants to hang out and you can't be mean. I hate this one guy he is an ex boyfriend that was really mean to me and he just contacted me. Now he is mad at me because I don't want to hang out with him. To me thats just stupid because he should be happy I'm even talking to him!
Last Week of School
I'm wondering where the time went. I can't believe that my first year of college is over. Everybody told me it was going to go by fast but I didn't believe it would be this fast. It feels like yesterday that I was graduating high school and now I only have 3 years left of college that is if I don't go to graduate school!!
New Room
I'm so excited about getting to go home and redecorate my room. Last weekend when I went home I got new furniture. Right now my room is bright bright blue. I'm going to paint it a dans color. I'm not looking forward to cleaning it though. That is going to take forever!!

Almost over
I'm so excited that school is almost out!! I can't wait to go home and be able to stay!! I hate just going home for a couple of days and then have to leave. I haven't been home in three weeks and that is the longest I have been away from home!! I'm so excited about going home for easter. A break FINALLY!!
Paper Problems!!
I'm having a little trouble finding soucres. Its not as easy as I thought it would be. There are a few articles on Theft and fraud but not as many as I thought there would be. The biggest problem for me is length. I'm hoping that I can get enough information to be able to make my paper at least 6 pages. I didn't think that writing 6 pages would be so difficult especially on this subject!!

http://www.shop.org/learn/stats_ebizz_security.asp.
Summary: This article is a statistis site. It tells different facts from different companies. It was like everyone took surveys and interviews and put it onto one site. There were facts about everything from numbers to what people thought. I found the numbers to be very interesting in some of the different things that were asked.
Importance: This is important because it actually shows you facts in numbers and you can see how many people are really affected.
Connections: This doesn't really have any connection with my life except for the fact that it is educating me on something that could possibly happen to me!
Supporting Source: This really helps my argument strong because it isn't just opinions its actually numbers and facts from these different places.
Argumentive Source: The only thing I would have to argue would be maybe there was errors in the surveys or experiments. The numbers might be off!

Being Away from home
This past week was my best friends birthday and I realized how much I miss being at home and being in high school for that matter!!! When I was at home I didn't have to worry about anything!! I had a job but it was different at home I had my clothes washed for me and my mom actually paid for things but now she doesn't!!! I think the thing I miss the most is being able to go off with my friends all the time!! I enjoy hanging out with my sisters and friends but its just different!! People here don't know me like my other friends do!!! I'm so excited about spring break and getting to spend it with my friends from home!!!!
