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.
