What do you look for?

When i look at myself in the mirror I see someone that's not worth her time at all. I don't think I am very smart, I like school but I just have a problem with assignments. Sometimes i just don't understand what they are trying to tell me. In English class I love to write its just I have poor writing skills. I just feel when i look at myself that i am worthless. Other perspectives of myself is when I look at my reflection is not a very pretty girl. I think how will I get a guy to like me if im not pretty. I know its not all about looks but guys arourd 18 to 24 it is all about looks and nothing else. I just get why and don't think its fair. People say things to make others feel better about themselves. Professors have alot of faith in there students as long as they know how to do the homework. I just wish i could have help with writing since I didnt get much help while in high school. I wish people would realize who i am and what i can do and if i cant do that have someone explain it to me so I can do that. It would make the most sense to me and everyone else. I hope someday things will come together.

What is your biggest pet peeve? Why?

So many things bother me that just nit pick at me. I think the one thing that really bothers me the most would be when guys can never figure out the right thing to say. When you want them to comfort you they wont. When they forget your birthday and don't say anything about it. Or when they don't appreciate what i have done for them over the past two years. They just don't get it. So to avoid being angry i try to draw some huge hints to him and say yeah this is coming up. How about this would this be a good idea. Just want to know that i don't have to comfort myself. I want to know that this is not just some joke that its for real and he just forgot and is going to make it up. Thats what i dont understand is how you forget things like Christmas, Valentines Day, your Birthday. Those are things you should always remember and then they make up the excuse oh i forgot I'm sorry honey, i will make it up to you and if never happens. But when its his birthday i got Twins tickets, a jersey, a t-shirt, took him out to eat, and drove to the game. For Christmas i got him Tickets to the Buckcherry concert, a pop corn tin, Hollister clothes and something else. What do i get nothing. Thats what pissed me off is i got nothing. Why? Why do guys do that? Is it just a habit or what? I would like to know so if i keep expecting that or should i wait for something magnificient to happen.

What to expect...............

What to expect from an english class. I think i would expect to have great accomplishments when i get done in this course. I really hope that i can grasp different scenario of interest based off of the English point of view. Also be able to write papers without sounding stupid when they are finished. I not an excellent writer. What i think Prof. Davis should be a is a teachere who you know can be there when you need him to help with anything. Not just one of those professors who tells you he will be there and when you go and ask them a question they just ignore the fact that you are there. I also would like to see me As a better student. I want to know that i can accomplish things and beable to do things without hesitation that would make me feel ten times better about myself. I just really hope that this english class gives me a little more background than what high school had given me.

All about me.......

Well, my name is Courtney LaRay Anderson. I am 18 years old and im a freshman here at MSU. I use to attend school in a little town by the name of Butterfield-Odin High School. My graduating class was approximately 20 people, my class was the biggest thoughout the entire school my senior year. I played many sports throughout my years there. I played basketball, softball, and volleyball. My favorite sport was definatiley softball. I was a two year starting pitcher and was named all-confrence 2 years in a row and honorable mention prior to that. I do miss playing but i have to move on with my life and take it to the next step. Well, after leaving BOHS on May 23 2008 (graduation day) i can here to college on Aug. 20th 2008 and moved into McElroy E-317. I was in a learning community for the nursing students. (I hope to achieve my goal and become a great nurse some day.) I had a roommate by the name of Jessica Ann Boll she is orginally from Sioux Falls, SD. We got along pretty well at first. We hung out all the time, had same classes, we ate together, went shopping together. It just started to be to much. So at the end of the semester I had decided to move out and move to gage towers. I now live with my best friend Kayla Lepp. She has been my friend since 7th grade and i love her to death. She is like my sister. I dont really have any siblings. I do but they are my half brothers and i didnt even know who they were til i was around 13 years old. Kayla helped me through that time. Well, now that i live with here things seem to be going better. My mom is happy that im happy. Eh, shes kinda happy. I didn't tell her that i was going out to Colorado on Feb. 20th flying out there to see a friend. I cant wait to see him he is so amazing and i hope things work out between us. Everything has its ups and downs but whats not like taking a little rollercoaster ride to get there, its not how the ride is its what you make of the ride til the end.
