Class
I arrived early in class this week for my midterm review with Sabatino. I wasn't able to make it earlier because we both had conflicting schedules with work and other classes etc. In our review we went over my Adaptive Mindset essay as well as my draft for my Room for Debate project. We had a nice discussion on my topics and he pointed me in some nice directions on where they should be going. In class we mainly went over our assignment sheet for Room for Debate and how to structure the essay. After that Mangini showed us ways to properly cite our sources, through use of ways such as parenthetical citation, implimenting direct quotes into our work and how to use things like ellipses (...) in those direct quotes. For the like forty-five minutes of class he allowed us to workm on our Room for Debate projects on our own or in groups, but sadly I had to leave early to catch my bus.

This week has been rough. Not for the usual reasons of work and all that, something more personal. Someone very close to me has admitted to being addicted to opiates and me and my family are trying our best to work with them on it. It has been hard on us but I try to remember that this is and extremely hard thing to convince your body to kick. The person has agreed to go to rehab, but the system sucks, and apparently there are no beds available until a few weeks from now. I can only hope that we can manage this battle together, and that things work out in our favor.
