If you could live anywhere, where would you live, why would you choose that place

           If I could live anywhere I would live in a cruise ship.
           Why you ask? Well for starters you can wake up to a stunning view every morning, who wouldn't like that, you wake up all woozy and then Foosh you pull open your curtains and you see mountains and glaciers and open your doors to the balcony and smell the fresh air its better than  smelling your cup of coffee in the morning at home.
            Another reason is you can go to so many countries and places but you only have to pack your bag once! Like really if you wanted to go to Spain, Ireland and then Portugal do you know how much times you have to pack your bags then unpack them? On a cruise its a different story, its like your hotel follows you around no need to worry if you forgot something because you can just run back to the ship and get it. While if you go on a plane and then you just remember your house keys in the safe in your house well that sucks.
            The third reason I would like to live on a cruise ship is because I can tailor the cruise to my own style and taste.There are so many opportunities to do something, or nothing depending on your mood. I can take a culinary course if I want when I am in the mood for cooking or to learn something new, if I feel lucky one day I can go to the casino and do a few slots, if I feel stress there is always a spa I can go to, and of course there has to be a workout room just in case I get a little too fat from eating their delicious foods.
            This is why I would want to live on a cruise ship.

Do-over generation set to experience deadline shock.

         I think that it is right for teachers to penalize students correctly who do not hand in their assignments on time because for the students who do hand it in on time it is unfair to them that their piers can hand it in late and will get the same mark as them. Also it is good because this gives students a little kick start to do their assignment and to hand it in on time if they know they could very well get penalized by the teacher and could also get kicked off a sport team or club going on in the school. This is also great for the teachers because now having these seventeen rules in place they can have a better understanding of how to deal with a late assignment. The new policy will now help students to know to hand in their assignments and homework on time to prepare them for the future were there is no "time out" or detention but one word... FIRED! I do think now that this rule is in place students should be more successful in life for their are drilled from a young age that when you don't hand something in on time you get penalized and there would be none of this "I will give it to you tomorrow." I do agree with this article about penalizing late assignments for all the reasons given above and I do hope now that students will understand that handing in a assignment late is not OK.
