My Thoughts At The Museum

Throughout the ages, man has wondered about many things such as mummies, ancient people, etc. I myself have wondered why the mummies turned out the way that they did. Curiosity got the best of me on the field trip. I was constantly thinking of how people are going to view us hundreds of thousands of years from now. We have figured out a process for burying people, which is the exact some for everyone and everyone is the same. Everyone is lying down with their arms either to the sides or crossed on their stomach. They're all placed genially into a coffin and situated all nicely in nice clothes and jewelry and makeup so that they look good, THEN buried. All people look the same and very posed, nothing about any person looks special.  Not one person is put into an awesome pose and placed into earth now. We do not take out brains and organs and all of that nonsense.

The people in the tombs or buried in the sand are much different. Each and every one of their tombs is special and unique whereas all coffins are similar and not very special. The people in the tombs or buried in the sand are also much different. The people that got buried in the sand because of the sand storms or natural death are different as well. Although their brains and organs were not taken out, they were in unique poses. The people either looked very clam or they looked absolutely terrified which shows their emotion at death making them very special.

All of this makes me wonder if in however many years, are people going to care about us like we care about the people of the past? We treat the mummies now so special and take such good care of them, placing these mummies in climate controlled areas and being very fragile with them. Makes me think about how future generations are going to treat our bodies after we are gone. If they are going to leave us in peace or dig us up and place us on display for the world to see. This is all that I thought about in the mummy exhibit.

The Details of My Night

       So last night was action packed at the least. Erin and I were finally about to settle in for the night at around 9:30. We were home and changed into our pajamas. Then suddenly I got a text that invited me bowling and I couldn't turn that offer down. So I invited Erin to come along and we went to the AMF bowling ally and bowled for a little bit. We stayed there with Carlos and his cousins until around 10:30. Erin was in love with one of his cousins which is completely understandable because he was gorgeous. After we were done bowling, Carlos suggested that we go to Buffalo Wild Wings so off we went while his cousins continued to bowl. There we got some wings and fries and had an overall good time but didn't leave until at least 11:30. Then Carlos said that he needed a ride home. He told us he lived by miller park near

60th street

, he was wrong. We ended up on Hawley road lost and low on gas. He had no clue where we were and neither did we. Suddenly Erin remembered that she has a GPS on her phone so she pulled that out and we went to find a gas station which was about a mile away. When we got to the gas station Erin handed Carlos her phone and told him to type his address in. After that everything got much simpler. Apparently he lives by Chili’s, which would have made getting to his house much easier if he had said so in the first place. We finally dropped him off at about 12:15. By then we were beyond tired and just wanted to go home and sleep. When we got home it was 12:30 but I suddenly remember that I had to do my Advanced Composition homework. I quickly read the chapter and took notes. I was dead after that and laid down to pass out.  

The Begining

Well hello there. I'm Amanda and this is the beginning of what's going to be my blog for Advanced Composition class. I'm not sure how to compose this, or even how to begin it but here I go. For our first assignment the class was told to write an introduction about ourselves. I honestly don't like to talk about myself because it feels like gloating but here it is. I'm going to list some random facts that may or may not be relevant to your understanding of me.

• I work at Culvers. It's not the most fun and is a lot of work but I enjoy some of the people.
• I have played Rugby for two seasons but no longer continue to do so because the team is gone.
• I enjoy running in my free time.
• I have four sisters and absolutely no brothers.
• When I was younger I was blind for about a month because I poured bubbles into my eyes.
• I have come to realize lately that I care too much and should stop doing that.
• I have also hit the block that comes with the 4th quarter of school.
• I hate math.
• I have a beagle that I absolutely hate because he is so annoying.
• I read when I have tome to do so, usually at night.

Well, that's quite a few facts and all I can come up with; although, I should talk about why I took this class. I dislike writing but took this class because I figured that it was a useful skill that I needed to become better at. Another reason is because if I become a better writer than the rest of high school and college should be somewhat easier. So, here I am. I hope this helped you get to know me a little better.
