Finishing it up

Hey Everyone!

I'm sorry I didn't keep up with this blog very well...to be honest, I had SO much going on I forgot about it. I have been continually working on my final paper about video games and I think it is coming along pretty good.

Tonight is the night to turn it in! I just have to finish up a few things and then I will be ready. I want to dive more into the idea that parents should be controlling what their child is playing and be aware of how violent games are making them act.

So excited to finish this up! I can't wait for summer!

Having a Hard Time...

I am having a difficult time having two different things going on at once. I haven't finished my argumentative paper yet, but had to start research on a whole different topic for a whole different paper. I feel like I am missing something somewhere...that our argumentative paper was due already and I should only be focusing on the research paper or something...It is already hard for me to write papers on humor! I enjoy the topic and find it a lot more interesting than I thought I would, but I don't know where to begin on the topic for the papers. To have two different things going on at once is killing me!

Research Topic

I have been attempting to think of a way to incorporate humor into a research topic for the research paper, but just couldn't do it. I found myself having a very hard time seperating my ideas from my argumentative paper for a whole different type of essay. Whenever I thought of an idea for the research paper, it came directly from an idea I have for the argument paper, so it felt like I was writing two papers on the same exact thing.

I decided to go with the research topic of videogame playing and the positive effects it can have. Instead of forcing myself to research something I had no idea how to research, I wanted to do something that I was actually interested in so it would maybe be a little easier. I have played videogames since I can remember, and have recently seen little videos on my Xbox Live account discussing the positive effects that playing games can have.

I thought it was an important topic because videogames are becoming a way of life now, now that consoles are becoming much cheaper and kids are growing up with them, opposed to them being a "luxury".

As I talk about it on here and with my family, I find that I have more and more things I want to discuss and narrow down for the actual paper.

I have never done a Blog before, so I just thought I would put a little something on it! There isn't much, though, because I don't know how this even works! I'm also not sure what I am supposed to write about for the class...
