Unassigned Entry #3 Wedding planning for dummies
For this entry I thought I wold stray away from the "norm" of my Navy blogs and talk about a spin off from one of my past blogs, Wedding planning. Being 19 and in college you don't expect to be planning a wedding, but I have never been like other people and I am planning a wedding. Next to school planning a wedding takes up all of my time. The list of things to do and plan for a wedding is longer than a extreme couponers receipt. I have only started my planning and yet I am overwhelmed. My parents are paying for the wedding, but with worrying about college tuition, that budged is slim. That takes one stress off me, but with my fiance having a big family makes for trying to have a small wedding impossible
.
The seating chart, the venue, the food, the guest list, and the dress and rings are just few of the many things I must do to prepare and not knowing the exact date does not help. We have picked a month and day, but the year is still undecided. I have always loved the color pink, but for my wedding there is just not a place for the color pink. The color blue is not only both of our eye colors, but we always ending matching and blue just happens to be the color we match in. Planning a wedding is so much work, but it is so worth it in the end. I can't wait to marry the love of my life and even though we are so young love brought us together and for us now is the right time.

Entry # 3 Class Cut
Being a college student is a lot of effort and is very time consuming. When picking colleges, I choose Glendale Community College for two reasons. One because the tuition at four year universities is ridiculously expensive and two because the class sizes are much smaller. With Arizona State University implementing their new shortened classes, with plenty of them to go around, it is causing a lot of controversy on both spectrum of opinions. The 15 week classes will now be shortened to only 7 1/2 week classes. This means the new abundance of these shortened classes will be fast passed and will be all the information of the 15 week classes. With this comes more change. The tuition will be cut for these classes and will now be more affordable and the calendar schedule will change drastically. While this idea of shorter classes and more of them is a good idea not only to save money, but also be able to finish your degree faster, they are setting the students up for disaster. Cramming these 15 week classes into 7 1/2 is bad enough, but having them be online is just the icing on the cake. Most students need the face to face hands on contact to be able to learn. I know certainly do, and with these new changes the students are going to be struggling more in these classes than regular ones.
When reading this article I felt that it was lacking some rhetoric. Their defiantly needed to be more information on how students and teachers opinions and I really did not see any of the ethos or pathos, but I did see logos. There was some logic,but I felt they could have done a better job writing this article. The comments I saw really did not have much to do about the topic and it was people just arguing over random topics, which on an article like this is no place to do that.
