Samuel/ This is just to say

The story Samuel by Grace Paley was kind of weird, it didn't really have a moral to the story. When the angry man pulled the emergency cord and Samuel died it was a real shock to my roommate and I. We weren't really expecting that to happen because Paley referred to little boys as tough. When the woman saw what the little boys were doing she got nervous but she finally got the courage to tell them they were going to get hurt if they weren't careful, sure enough thats what happened. I thought it was horrible when Samuels mother had another son but when she and her husband saw him for the first time all they could say is, there will never be another Samuel.
As for the poem it just sounds like something that goes on between my roommates but it was pretty pointless as well. I mean there is not much to say about it!

Why do I have the worst luck?...

Today I had my lab class for the first time this semester and I am really upset about it. I was scheduled to take the lab last semester with my lecture but I couldn't stand the instructor for it, so I dropped it. Of course with the luck I have I walk to class today only to find that my instructor is the same as last semester! I was extremely pissed and I just wanted to leave but I kept telling myself that I was going to have to take it sooner or later so why not just get it over with; fortuanetly she let us go early. So the rest of my day will be fun and excitement... not really. I have ANT 221 after lab with my roommate (we have all our classes together) and I hate this class becuase its full of weird individuals. So the teacher makes us split up into two teams and says we are going to play a game. The point of the game is that the two teams are in separate rooms and they both come from different cultures and you would send one person from each group into the other culture. Then you would send them back to their culture after they spent a little time in the other room, it was extremely weird! Once again my luck, not to mention I hate public speaking and being in a postition where everyone is looking at me anyway, the TA points at me and says ok you are going to go next. All I could say was OOHHH NO I'M NOT, so he felt sorry for me because my face turned beat red and he felt really sorry for me.

P.S. My roommate Dixie, yea she's in this class, is a RETARD!!
