Federal Repercussions

One of my best friends Riane was born in Canada, she was able to come to the United States on her dad's work visa when she was about 5 years old. Her mother was unable to work because she was temporarily on disability and did not have a work visa. Riane has two other sisters, they were all here for about 3-4 years. Then for a reason that I forget, her family had moved back to Canada for just over a year. When they came back to the U.S., the whole process towards citizenship had restarted. They all had to wait another full 5 years to apply for citizenship. Riane's mother was off disability and she and her sisters finally got their green cards along with their social security numbers. This allowed them to permanently live and work in the United States. With only one member of the household providing for a family of 5 it was hard, they faced constant struggles throughout those entire 8-9 years before being able to properly provide for themselves.

Strongest/Weakest

 I believe the strongest part of my paper is maybe the refutatio because these are common come backs to the topic, but by looking at the statistics and knowing how much pharmaceutical companies actually make each and every year you can see that this won't hinder research. However, I still believe my paper could always be better and I will keep trying to edit as I go. I think the weakest part of my paper might be the exordium because I am not sure if I need to add more to it to be more specific and really appeal to pathos.

What Is Fun

     There is not too much to do on campus or off campus, so you usually have to drive at least 15 minutes to get something or find something to do. Also being an athlete only leaves me a couple hours to do anything outside of class, homework, practice, lift, and meets almost every weekend. I usually go to Natali almost every night to do homework, but before actually starting my homework I am just talking and relaxing in a booth. Then hopefully getting some homework done, taking a break to get some food and then resume talking and working on more homework; that's the favorite part of most days. It's really the only chance I get to socialize with my friends outside of practice because there isn't much time to talk then or even talk to people in any of my classes before rushing off to the next.     The one other thing that comes to mind that I would say is an enjoyable experience at Cal is the sports that actually have a facility within walking distance or is on t...

Next Right Moves

I do wonder if my thesis needs reworked or if I am just overthinking and overcomplicating things for my self, which often happens and why papers can take me so long. I currently have some sources, however I do need to thoroughly read through all of them to determine if and how they will be useful for me in writing my paper. This parallels with actually typing out my annotated bibliography due in the upcoming weeks. I do have many sources and am kind of dreading writing so much, but reading through each and this process will hopefully help me cut down the list based on how beneficial the source is. I need to also get my outline together, even if it's with simple ideas at first, but after reading through my sources it will help me figure out what ideas and supporting facts will go where. After completing my outline and hopefully a rough draft soon after the annotated bibliography is finish, then I can really critique and rework it from there.
