         My favorite essay was How to Pull an All -Nighter.  It was very interesting to read and the way it was laid out made me feel as though as I wasn't reading an essay.  I loved that it was funny without intending to be. The person who presented the essay also used humor when she described different aspects of the essay and that was fun also.  Now, if I ever have to "pull an all-nighter" I have some really good strategies to use.  I probably will not try standing on my head if I am tired though.  Getting caught doing jumping jacks or skipping rope at 3 am would be bad enough, but being found hurt or unconscious from attempting a head stand I'd rather not have happen.

State Government Shutdown

I suppose if Georgia's government shut down it would be extremely hard on my family, due to the fact that my husband, who is the bread winner in our family, works for the state.  I'm honestly not sure how it would affect his job, because he is a correctional officer, so I don't know if the state has some type of emergency personnel in place to handle situatuions like this.  If not I suppose it would be catastrophic for everyone if the correctional officers did not work due to government shut down.  I understand police officers would still work because they operate from county and city levels.  However, the budget crisis is already affecting our safety.  Due to over crowding and not enough money to adequately secure these buildings, prisoners are being released early from institutions in Georgia.  Hopefully, things will get better soon (2012:)) and we as a nation can begin a recovery.  We'll see.
