Springfield Interchange

In an unusual set of circumstances, I found myself both off from work and without my boys, on a Saturday and with absolutely no plans. Becoming bored by the afternoon, with no distractions, nothing worth watching on TV, and a desire to make a meal that didn't include hot dogs, I decided to invite Joe over for dinner. I met Joe at shortly after I started working at Jolly's Donuts. The place was so new they barely had a functional kitchen, and Joe had been called in to install the industrial refrigeration system to replace the small home refrigerator they opened with. Over the course of several weeks, we went from strangers to friends. It wasn't romantic, at least not for me. I think he had different ideas, but if he did, he kept them to himself. We never went out on an official date, he would just come around my work and have lunch. Then later, he started stopping by after my shift if he was free and drive me home. Sometimes, I would go with him on a maintenance run, if we happened to be together and I didn't have the boys. At other times, he would simply show up to my house, a case of beer in hand and hang out. Coming to the conclusion I wanted some company, I decided to call him instead of waiting for one of his random appearances. "Hey, Joe! You busy tonight?" "Don't think so," he answered after a short pause, "I have a few small jobs I need to get done today, but should be finished by 5. Why?" "I'm a free woman!" Giggling as I said it, "Wanna come over for dinner, just…

the cutting of school it will be explained. Illinois planned to cut the small school in Illinois that don’t alreasdy get enough funding as is. The best and obvious solution would be to take from the bigger school who get plenty of funding and just divide it up between schools. They could even go as far as combining counties to have one big school to help save money. But I don’t understand where it seems smart to cut educate when we could cut funding to prisons. I say that because most people…

William Cronon’s Changes in the Land – Indians, Colonists and the Ecology of New England, depicts the changes that occurred in New England after the arrival of the Europeans. It not only provides a detailed account of the changes that took place from a historical point of view, but also from an ecological pint of view – meaning it not only paints a picture of how the European settlers changed the lives of New England’s Indian inhabitants, but it also clearly shows how the arrival of the…

affect me? What is the difference between this option and that option? I had to look at each decision from a different perspective when making one of the most important decisions I’ve ever had to make. The decision I made to come to Missouri Western has given me the ability to not only further my education, but also to begin the path of following my dream. When I was trying to choose what college I was going to attend that August after I graduated high school I had to think about many different…

Played all over the world from the most isolated places to each country in the world. Basketball is for many their passion, their hobby, their jobs and even their world. Basketball has been around for many years. Dr. Naismith, a Physical education instructor, was the inventor of basketball. In 1891, he nailed peach baskets 10 feet up and used a team of nine players and only 13 rules. Surprisingly he used a soccer, my favorite sport, to invent basketball. The story is he was asked to invent an…

playing and have fun with rhyming and reading. The impacts of reading and likelihood of achievement later on in life resulting from reading retention and scores has throughout the course of school shown to have a direct correlation to likelihood to succeed in life or trend toward the 21 century construction of the school to prison pipeline often found in cities like Springfield Ma. While reading and literacy was one of Dr Seuss. Missions to answer I wonder what he would consider doing to address…

One of the teachers that I am hoping to have is Mrs. Freiley. Another teacher that I would like to have is Mr. Mathias. The reason that I would like to have them as teachers is because I think that they seem very nice, fun and be a great teacher. I am excited to see how next year will go. I can’t wait to go back to Springfield again for another field trip. Last was very fun in Springfield and I think that it will be more fun this upcoming year in 8th grade. I know that Outward Ingersoll isn’t…
