Public Writing Proposal: Smoking Ban

On June 1, 2007 Fort Wayne had a law take affect that prevented people from smoking in almost any public indoor place. The law prevents people from smoking in public places including restaurants, bars, and bowling alleys. However, it does not apply to 20% of hotel rooms, private nursing home rooms, and retail tobacco stores. The ban also strengthened smoking laws passed back in the 90s, by allowing smoking in restaurants as long as their is a separate room that is sealed from the non-smoking section.

I personally disagree with this law because in some cases it has caused some businesses to lose money. People who smoke, smoke all the time anywhere and everywhere. This means that when they go out to eat or go drink at bars then they are gonna want to smoke. But this law prevents them from doing that, which means that they aren't going to want to go out to these places and spend money where they can drink or eat and not smoke when they can stay home and do all that for free and have just as much fun. This law has really hurt most bars and has even caused some of them to go out of business. There is an unwritten rule for smokers that says when you drink you have to smoke, you can smoke and not drink but never the other way around. This of course has really hurt bars as well as bowling allies because when was the last time you went to a bowling alley and didn't smell cigarette smoke.

So I think that in these places smoking should be allowed because they are just a smoker's environment. If people don't like second hand smoke then they can not go to these places or they can just put up with it for the short amount of time that they are there. It's really not the big of a deal and if someone is going to go out and drink a ton of alcohol then thats not good for their body either so second hand smoking shouldn't matter to them.

Public Writing?

I think that public writing is a type of writing that is used to communicate to a large audience. Some examples of this would be like a flyer/ poster that would be hung up where a lot of people could see it during a certain period of time or handed to people. It could also be like an article in a magazine or an editorial in a newspaper that is written with the goal of lots of people reading it.

FAIL!!

So yesterday in drawing class we were working with India Ink. For those of you that don't know what that is, it is a very permanent substance that when comes in contact with clothes is impossible to get off. Well anyway I had just finished my drawing and was two seconds from putting the lid on my bottle of ink when all of a sudden my leg felt wet and I heard a crash on the floor. Apparently somewhere between my thinking about putting my lid on and actually doing it my FULL bottle fell off of my desk and landed on my jeans, producing a large stain and then proceeded to fall to the floor and splatter all over the wall and cabinets beside me. Luckily it didn't get on my shoes at all, but it did create quite a scene because our drawing class is a very quiet environment so that everyone can concentrate on their drawings. So I then had to clean up the mess while everyone watched me and continued to draw. I love college....:)

Parents Weekend Failure

Today was parents day at BSU. The football team played Bowling Green University. Bowling Green's record was terrible, unfortunately ours was worse. During the game we played sooo bad that we made the other team look like an NFL team. Bowling Green scored within the first two minutes of the game and we didn't even score till like the third quarter. I don't exactly remember exactly how it went because I was to busy being distracted by the FREEZING cold weather. That game was the single most miserable thing that I have had to sit through in my life because it was so cold, but at least I got to spend my day with my girlfriend and her family. The cold would not have been so bad if we had played a good game or even if we had scored more. I don't even know what the final score was because we left at the end of the third score, but I think I heard it was like 36-17. But anyway the point I'm trying to make is that I hate cold weather and I will spend the rest of the winter months trying as hard as I can to be in the cold the least amount possible.

Fall cleaning

I am currently seated on the futon in my girlfriend's room watching her and her roommate clean every possible surface in their room. The reason that they are cleaning their room is because they are terrified of the H1N1 virus. They think that if they don't clean the bacteria off of everything in their room then they will become infected with this horrible disease. But in reality the H1N1 virus acts just like a normal flu in young healthy people like ourselves. Only if it is left untreated for a long amount of time will it kill someone younger than 50 or older than 13. So don't worry everybody, its not that big of a deal.

Stressful

So I'm definitely feeling a lot of stress lately. I've been getting a lot of homework and I feel like I don't have any time to do any of it. I still want to be able to go out and party and have fun with my friends, but if I do all that then I'll definitely not have any time for homework at all. I just don't know what to do, even though I'll obviously do the homework.

On monday I have a test in art history that I have to study for, and this test is over like 4 chapters so thats a lot of information that I have to cover. Then for my foundations class I have to get two major projects ready to start, but my teacher is very strict about the way we go about doing that and there is a very tedious process that we have to go through. Then of course I have to do the multimodal project for this class, and I'm still extremely confused about it. Although, McArdle helped me a little bit today during our conference, but I would still appreciate some help from my peers because sometimes you guys can explain it better. I hope you guys decide to help me out. Thanks!!!

Air jam

Last night I went to air jam with a bunch of my friends. I didn't think it was gonna be very fun and I wasn't to happy about spending the $5 for the ticket but all my friends were going so I had to buy one too or I would've been bored for 2 hours. But to my surprise it was a lot more entertaining then I thought it was going to be. Some of the groups were actually really good. I'll most likely try to go the next 3 years if at all possible because it was that much fun, and if you didn't get a chance to go this year then I highly recommend going next year. It is really fun and you won't be disappointed.

Brainstorming

I am trying to decide how exactly to go about doing my multi model project. Some of the details are a bit fuzzy to me. I'm not completely sure how to make an arguement with an essay, but I'm sure I'll figure it out soon. As of now I'm thinking about doing a video like what we saw in class as an example. However if that fails then I will just write an essay with lots of pictures. If anyone is feeling sympathetic towards my predicament then please feel free to explain it a little bit and give me some more ideas...It would be greatly appreciated.
