Finals

Yea everyone knows what time of the year it is. Yea it may be the end of the school year but that means finals. I'm so looking forward for a break for a few months from school, but I got to suffer through all next week of finals. I already have been busting my butt with end of the semester projects, but now of course comes the tests that signal the end of the year. I only have three classes that have cumulative tests the rest are just last chapter tests, so I only have to stay up all night to study for just three instead of my full five. Im really looking forward to next week to just get the finals over with because I am done for the summer.

Bowfishing

Bowfishing is the greatest sport of all time. If you haven't personally tried it you need to go and find a person who will take you with. There are two different ways of bowfishing, one is doing it during the day when the carp are spawning or at night when, which I personally think is the best time to shoot fish. You see so much more at night when you bowfish at that time. My buddies and I are going out for the first time this year, I am actually going with somebody else because my Friend and I's boat isn't quite finished yet but will be within the next few weeks. I will post a picture of it on my blog page to show what a boat set up for bowfishing at night looks like. There are so many species of fish you can shoot. Now remember you can only shoot fish that are classified as rough fish, now the most common type of fish that you shoot is the carp. There are multiple species of carp you can shoot, another big one is the gar, and there are multiple species of gar you can shoot also. If you looking to do some type of hunting during the off season from regular hunting bowfishing is the sport you want to do.

Ahh The weekend

Its the weekend and I have so many plans to do. I of course have to work, but other than that my friend and I are going to finish up our bowfishing boat. Its is coming along really good and we haven't spent that much on it so far and we intend to keep it that way. My plans probably wont go the way I want them to go, but we'll see. I'm in the process of getting a new job, so that might screw up my plans but regardless I need a break from school. I also have a huge paper for Written Communication which you all have to do to. Right now i have to go study for a test in Sociology, which I think will be pretty easy, but I should still look over everything. But as you can see I really had nothing to talk about so I hope I didn't bore you.

Boston Tea Party

Did you all see the tea parties going on all over the nation on the last day of tax season. Everyone was protesting to the president and the Government about the stupid bailouts and stimulus packages. They're all not happy at all. I myself am not happy, taking my hard earned tax money and putting towards these major corporations who make way more than I or most anyone else in America. It's just pure stupidity, I think that these businesses should just file for bankruptcy like ever normal human being who can't make it and run out of money. The reason for bankruptcy is to pretty much give you a new start. I don't think it's fair that the major companies deserve to have my hard earned money. I mean it's sad that they have to go under like they are because no one wants to see GM go under, it's the best vehicle manufacturer in the whole world. I think there could be different approaches that could limit the use of tax money. Because by using tax money it's just going to raise taxes and I know no one likes that. I think the the government should access all the possible solutions first before deciding on one thing that they aren't even for sure about.

Summer

Spring is here and will go faster than it came. And right after spring comes summer. School will be coming to a close in no time. This is a very hectic time of year for everyone. Everyone is trying to finish their end of the year projects so that they can have it all out of the way. I myself am tying to do that at the moment. I got an essay do for my written communication class, an essay do for my American Government class. It's all getting very frustrating to me to have to finish this all and try to go to work and do all this other homework to. I really can't wait for it all to be done. The feeling of summer is here and it's making us all lazy and really making me lazy because I absolutely don't want to do anything right now I just want to be outside in this nice weather and enjoy nature. I know everyone is going to agree with me on that one. I mean who doesn't like this awesome weather after having 3-4 months of cold wet weather. I love this time of year next to fall, that's just because it's hunting season so that makes up for the fact that we're all back in school. I really counting down the days until we all can sit back and enjoy ourselves for a few months until it all starts all over again : O lol. I hope enjoyed my blog for this week.

Job Search

Hey I'm once again hot on the trail looking for another job. I have one already but I need another one to help me save up for next year while I'm away at college. It's getting a little difficult to find another with the way the economy is going. I'm getting really frustrated because I have been at this for a couple months. I really wish I wouldn't have to look for another one but I need money for when I go away because who knows how long it will take me to get a job when I'm there so I got to have some built up in my bank account so i have something to live on for a little while lol. So if anyone knows any place that is hiring let me know because I just might be interested.

Spring

I am one of a whole bunch of people that Love spring. There are so many reasons why I love it so much. I like the fact that it means we don't have very long until we're done with school, and that it is going to be warm now for quite a while, and because this means turkey hunting and bowfishing are just around the corner for me and everyone to enjoy with Spring coming. I know everyone is probably sick of the whole school thing and is ready for a break and chill for a while and just work and make some money. Well that is exactly how I feel right about now lol, I'm getting to the point where I can't wait any longer I just want it so bad the transition from Spring to Summer is so fast I can't wait. I am planning on working a lot this summer because I need to put some of it away for next year because I plan on going off to college next year so I don't know how fast I will be able to get another job, but I could definitely use the money regardless like us all. For me, I'm in a way better mood when it is warm like this, I can concentrate better and get things done because I have something great to look forward to like being able to go outside and work on our Bowfishing boat, and play some b-ball or whatever to enjoy the outside. I hope that you enjoy this time of the year as much as I do, and put your time to use. lol

LIfe

Life can bring you a lot of unexptected turns in your life. You can think that something is going great and the next minute it turned bad. But when these situations arise you need to pick yourself up and move on. Life has a ot of things that you don't know of till you explore your other possibilties. You may come to find out something is just as good or better as what you were originally doing in the first place. There are so many things a person can do to fix the change and thats where you figure out a better alternative and go with it because you will a much happier person then trying to figure out why you didn't get something you wanted or why things just don't go the way you wanted them to. I have relized in life that you take what your dealt with and go from there with what you have. Live your life day by day and focus on the future not the past, because all that will do is bring up bad memories lol and no one wants that. I chose to talk about this because I really had nothing else to talk about so I thought maybe I could talk about life's challenges but everyone probably already knows all this, so if thats the case I just wanted to let you know why I talked about it lol.

Bored

Lately I have been doing a lot of homework and working lately and I'm getting to the point that I'm getting sick of doing it all. i just can't wait until Summer. i just want the freedom to be able to relax and make some money before I go off to school next year at a University. I have all these things that I want to do but i can't do them. i really hope that the stuff i got do for school before break will be easy for my to get done and be able to manage my time so I can get it done, but get a good grade. There are so many things that I plan on doing this summer. one is going on a road trip with my friends and girlfriend. We really don't know where we are going yet, but that's what makes it even more fun just to hit the road and get away for awhile. I plan on getting a full time job for the summer so i can put away some money for the next year while I am away so i don't have to be in such a rush to find a job down where I'm going to school. I'm really excited to go away and not have to rely so much on my parenst but I still like having them around. It will be a new experience for me and thats what I'm looking for so I'll see how it goes. I hope that I didn't bore whoever reads my blog. What I wrote I know is prolly a little boring, but I didn't know what to write.

Ideas for the Weekend

Ahhhh, the weekend. Everyone loves the weekend. I do especially because it gives you a chance to relax and hang with your friends. Now a lot of people our age go and work all weekend to make money which is not a bad thing either. Now we all know being in college the major thing to do is go out and party with our friends, not all college students but most. There are a lot of other things you can do on the weekends instead of just partying. Depending on the time of year you can go snowmobiling if you own one or have access to one, you can snowboard, ski or just have a good old snow fight with your friends and family.

Other fun activities would go to a pool at a hotel or if you have money go down to the dells and spend the weekend. Now you don't have to always spend money, you can stay in and watch movies, ply PS3, Xbox 360, or even good old fashioned board games. Whatever it is you choose to do enjoy the relaxing break from school for a couple days because once the weekend is over it's back to the work and stress of school. Sorry to ruin the fun with that bad word, school but it's the truth. I guess all I'm trying to say is make the most out your weekend.

College Stress

Tyler Duerwachter

College stress can very over-whelming. I know because I am taking 15 credits and yes that's normal for a college student, but it can very stressful. Doing homework every night is not a surprising thing we had to do in high school as well. The one thing bout college is most of us are trying to do very well in school and having to work a job. Sometimes the job is full time, which in turn leaves the student with no free time. A students needs to have a little free time to him or hers self because it lets them relax and actually do better in their job and school. I think teachers need to realize that a lot of their students are going full time at school and also working full time at work because they need to be able to live and pay for school. A solution could be that they make school tuition cheaper for people in college. I myself don't have a full time job but i am working part time and I'm still stressing over class and work. They conflict and if somebody tells you that they don't they're lien their butts off. They say u should 3-6 hours of study time each day. Now if you go to school all day then work till 8 or 9 ant night, so where do you get that sufficient amount of time while doing both. I hope what you've heard doesn't make you mad but just take a second to think.

Valetines Day

As you all know Valentines Day is coming right up this weekend. And everyone runs into a problem on what to get his or her significant other. As a matter of fact I was out shopping for my significant other yesterday and I had a heck of a time trying to figure out what to get my Valentine. The stores right now have so much crap that it's so hard to choose from. But I went to a quite a few stores to find something and I noticed that Wal-Mart had the most wide selection of stuff for a really good price. So I went ahead and bought my Valentine a whole bunch of sweet things. And I even stepped up to the plate and bought my mom some cool things just because they had such awesome prices.

So if you're usually like me, one of those late minute shoppers you will want to go to Wal-Mart. Now personally I think they over emphasize Valentines Day. There are a few reasons. They say chocolate is one of the best things to get your Valentine if you don't know what all to get him or her. Now I think that's stupid because for 1 it's a candy and that gets old after awhile, and 2 you eat it up right away so it's like giving them something that will go away after like 15 min. So I hope you didn't mind me rambling on about this but I needed something to talk about , but i also figured it was appropriate.

The Best Thing To Happen

4, Feb. 2009


This week I am going to be talking the recent article on msnbc.com about the new Smoking Ban in bars and restaurants. I am all for the ban of smoking in these public areas. I myself have asthma and when I’m in a place that allows smoking it gets to be real hard to enjoy myself. And I know that there are a lot of people who go to these places to enjoy themselves and not want to have to sit in a cloud of smoke the whole time they are present in the place they are in. As I was reading in the article there are a lot of arguments coming from the owners of these different places, especially the bars say that they can’t afford having the smoking ban because it takes away their clientele.

I don’t agree with these people because just because at the moment that is all you ever have for a clientele doesn’t mean that once this ban is established you won’t later have these people come in who never thought to have ever step foot inside the place because they would have to breathe in such terrible air. Another reason why I totally agree on not allowing smoking inside theses public building is when you’re in the place that allows smoking you have to come out the place smelling like a chimney. I live in my home with a smoker and I tell them that they can smoke, but they must go outside. I would never be able to live in my house if I gave them that privilege to smoke in the house.
I also think smoking is a terrible habit that needs to be put away your own health is at risk and your greatly putting other people’s health at risk. I hope what you have read about my blog entry this week you understand what I am trying to say and you totally see my point of view.

My First Blog

Hi my name is Tyler. This is my first time that I have ever had to blog before. I'm from Bangor, WI. I first was born in La Crosse, then we moved to Onalaska, and lived there for a few years until we moved to Bangor. I really like living in a small town. I'm not real sure how much I'm gonna like to have to write an entry each week because I never really have much to talk about. I do like a challenge once and awhile so I am willing to give it a try, well okay I guess we have to for class but you get my drift. My favorite hobbies that I like to do are relative to the outdoors which include; hunting, fishing, camping, BOW fishing, snowmobiling, and 4-wheeling. I do the most of which ever one is in season. My true passion is hunting. I love to deer hunt, there's just a rush that a person gets sitting out in the woods waiting for a Giant whitetail to walk bye.

I also have a cabin that is located up by Mindoro, WI. We use it for camping, hunting, and just some place to go and get away from people. I really love the outdoors, it's what makes me the person I am. My favorite holiday is Christmas because it's when my family and I all get together and have a really big dinner and open presents. I also have a birthday in December, so it's really nice to have them close together because it's twice the presents for me. Um what else can I talk about? Well I have one Sister, Mom, and a Dad, oh and a dog named Duke. My life plans are to someday have a family and a job that makes me happy and willing to go to everyday. I'm currently going to school for my generals courses and hoping to get accepted to a university for next fall. I plan on going to school for physical education because I like working with kids and enjoy athletics. Now that I have told you a little about myself, I hope when you see me next you'll understand me a little better.
