Week 8A - The Briggsy Awards

The most interesting part of this class award goes to blogging. It is interesting to see the prompt for each one. The most boring/ useless part of this class would have to be treasure words. I hate them because I won’t ever use them. The hardest I laughed in this class was when Lang gave his speech about our awful president who hasn’t done anything good for us and makes us eat chicken every day. It was funny because it was very factual. The thing that I learned that will be most useful in the real world is speaking. This will help me when I run for president. The best thing about brigs as a teacher is that he understood my office and sports jokes. I like this because I like the office and sports. The thing you can do to make this class better is to get rid of treasure words because they’re pointless.

Week 7A - What's In A Name?

“From a surname which was originally derived from a place name which meant "ash tree town."” I don’t really mind my name. I’m not sure why I am named Ashton because there is no one else in my family named Ashton. The name that really seems to fit me is BAAKO because it means first born in African slang. If I could do it over and choose a new name I would choose the name DeShawn. Whenever I think of someone named DeShawn, I think of someone kinda like me. It also sounds kinda ghetto and people tend to think of me as a ghetto person, a little rough around the edges. I have been told many times that I look like the kind of person they would call DeShawn. 

Week 5A - My Heart Belongs to Hogwarts/Narnia/Middle Earth

If I could go to any fictional world I wanted to then I would go live in Scranton Pa. and work at Dunder Mifflin. They are a paper company. First I would like to meet the boss, Michael Scott. Next I would go to the sales department and introduce myself to Dwight K Schrute and Jim Halpert. After I was done at sales I would love to go meet the accountants: Kevin Malone, Oscar Martinez, and Angela Martin. Kevin is hilarious and I would spend a lot of time with him. After that I would meet my favorite character, Creed Bratton. He works in quality assurance but doesn’t have a clue what he does. His brain is fried from all the drugs he has done so he is very funny.

Week 4A - Dollar Dollar Bills Y'all!

If I was given 5,000,000 dollars to spend on whatever I wanted the first thing I would do is buy myself and my dad season tickets to IU basketball and Notre Dame football. Then I would get a sweet new car. Next I would build something similar to Cook Hall which is where the Indiana basketball team practices. They have a basketball court, weight room, and even hot tubs and ice baths. Finally I would connect a huge house to that and put a bowling alley inside of the house. I would have a lot of nice stuff if I were given 5,000,000 dollars.

Week 6A - Unanswerable Questions

The first murderer ever was Cain. He murdered his brother Abel. It is written in the bible in Genesis 4. Cain was in charge of cultivating the land and Abel was a shepherd. They both made sacrifices to God.  Cain gave Him some of the fruit of the land that he grew. Abel sacrificed some of his firstborn of his flock. God had regard for Abel’s offering, but not Cain’s. This made Cain very jealous so he invited Abel out to the field and while they were out there he killed him. Later on the Lord asked him where his brother was and he replied with “I don’t know. Am I my brothers keeper?”

Week 3A - If I Were A...

If I was a super hero I would be superman because he can fly. If I could fly I wouldn’t have to worry about paying for a car or gas or insurance or any of that stuff. If I wanted to go to Florida I could be there and back super fast without even having to purchase an airline ticket and pay for my luggage and stuff. He could also probably get any girl he wanted so that would be really nice. If I were a super hero I would definitely have a hot girlfriend. Probably Carrie Underwood or some model.
