Today Ms. Heitman came to our class and she explained the importance of writing in her profession. She told us not to have errors in letters of recommendation or things like that.  But I liked her because she brought us donuts at the very beginning so that is when she got my utmost attention. Haha.

Ignore that last post. I pressed enter on accident.

But anyway, most college students wake up at around 7 o'clock for their 8 o'clock class.  They probably stumbled into bed at roughly midnight if not later. In adults, such meager sleep is known to affect day-to-day functioning.  However, teenagers are biologically driven to sleep longer and later than adults do.  Therefore, the effects of insufficient sleep are likely to be more dramatic.  

Insufficient sleep has been shown to cause difficulties in school, including disciplinary problems, sleepiness in class and poor concentration.  Now I know that all we have to do is go to bed earlier.  But with a stiff schedule that intersects baseball, studies, and volunteer work.  One might have trouble getting to bed until very late. 

 Therefore, I am proposing that we get a day off to get our stuff together or just simply make us show to class at around 8 30 or 8 45 to give us more precious minutes of sleep.  This will make us more alert in class, make us concentrate better, and will make us feel less tired.  So if you give us this extra time, our class will benefit from it greatly

Today Dr. Higgins came and talked to us today about the Folk Arts Department here at school.  She told us how important it was for her to write in her department.  She also told us that she and another partner were writing a book so I thought that was pretty cool.
