Journal entry 2

Still nervous, but I'm glad that I making myself go back to school, kicking myself for not taking it more serious in high school. class was fun tonight I really like the brain storming we did and the ideas for our papers, I was stuck had no clue on a topic, so thank you. You are a good teacher and are making it fun, my 955 teacher was so boring, it was hard to want to be there. Not sure about the whole blogging thing, maybe its my lack of confidence in my abilities to structure and write a sentence that is worthily of my age, maybe its my fear of thinking and doing something so far out of my comfort zone. whatever it is, thank you, its the same with anything you do, the only way to learn is to push yourself beyond what you think you are capable of and realize that you haven't even scratched the surface. look at me I'm blogging!  
Journal entry 1

I was nervous coming to class tonight, it isn't just that it was the start of something new. I think deep down English scares me, it so complicated, to many rules, thank goodness for spell check, now if only they could add a punctuation check. I fell like a ten year old trapped in a forty one year olds body, and when I look around the room my fears are confirmed that yes, I am the only one that is not getting it.

High my name is Brian Roundy, I have been married for ninteen years and have four beautiful children, my oldest is Wilson a boy who is fifteen and a half, I have three girls Briley who is eight, Sidney who is six, and Savana who is four. I work for Davis School District Maintenance department, I am the masonry foreman and have been with the district for seventeen years. I have been in construction for twenty three years, I love working and building things with my hands, but I am getting old so that is why I am going to school so I can change from the guy doing the work, to the guy assigning the work. I am currently seeking my degree in construction management, I hope to accomplish this in six years. English does scare me, I'm not good at punctuating, sentence structure, writing papers, I was being  serious when I told you that my paper would read like a kid wrote it. Construction doesn't give you many opportunities to hone your english skills.  
In class (E) Dentity writing assignment.

(Honest, trustworthily, thorough, perfectionist, fun, outgoing, hard working, creative, accountable, organized.)
    I am a hard working, thorough guy who likes things done right, if you ask my wife she will say that I'm a perfectionist, I say if you are going to do something, then do it right, or don't do it at all. I consider myself out going and like to have fun, my kids think that I am supper creative and love to do crafty things with their dad every chance they get. I believe that honesty is very important and that you need to be accountable for your action.

(Rc planes, home improvement ideas, paint colors,)
    I really don't do much on the computer, my wife, four kids, my job and a family room that is completely tour apart don't leave me much time.  Plus I'm  forty one and computers scare me. lately I have been exploring the world of Rc planes, and have bought and flew a few different kinds, I don't think that my identity and (E)dentity would match up.
