Biggest Pet Peeve

I really have never given much thought to my pet peeves, but now that I think about it I can think of one that bugs me. It is when people leave their trash on the ground and walk away and forget about it. I am kind of a neat freak in a way and when people do that, especially my little sister, it bugs the hell out of me. I keep asking her why she does that and she doesnt give me a good answer. I think she does it just to tick me off. I guess I wouldnt go to great lengths to avoid it because I dont live at my house anymore so whatever stinky trash she leaves laying around is not my problem, and if it happened somewhere I was living, then I guess I would learn to live with it. Another couple pet peeves are lazy bums who dont do anything and expect people to just give them stuff and people who are so cheap that they wouldnt even drive a couple miles down the road if their friend was freezing to death just because gas is too expensive.

I am guessing that we have to write about that comment on the board which says "Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten." I really dont know what that means. Maybe it means that when you learn something in school and eventually end up forgetting it there is always school that you can go to and learn it all back. That would be my best guess at what that quote means. If that is what it means then that is a pretty good quote because I remember in high school every summer I would forget what I had learned that past year. For example my little sister will come home with some math from a class I had taken before and I wouldnt have a clue on what to do.

what I expect this semester

What I expect from this course is mostly just to write a lot, read, and sharpen up my writing skills. Other than that I cant really think of anything else I expect from this course. I think the teacher can help me out with sharpening up my skills and also teaching me a little more about how to navigate around a computer a little bit better. Finally what I expect from myself is to get everything done and turned in on time, write my papers well, and most importantly get a good final grade for this class. That is mostly what I expect out of this class, the teacher and myself.

Who I am

My name is Andy Lambert and I am 18 years old. My first job was when I was about 14 and I started picking pumpkins and a bunch of other stuff at a pumpkin patch, where I still work today selling sweet corn for them. Now I work at Grain Millers in the winter time and the first half of summer and I sell sweet corn the second half of summer. I have two parents, two sisters, and a dog. Something interesting that has happened to my family and I is that we all survived a huge tornado that passes by saint peter when I was 8 years old. We were all in the basement and watched the whole thing take our little house away. Another little fact about me is that I have only been to Wisconsin in my life. I really don't know what else to write about myself because I am pretty boring.
