YouTube!

I like to watch a lot of videos on youtube. It is a really fun thing to do when ever I am bored. This video that I watch, was some what interesting. But it was really boring towards the end. It said that over the past 5 years, some network had 60,000 views. And when youtube just started comming out with videos, it had over 60,000 views in 6 months. So they are basically doing really well, actually pretty good! Some people have to pay hundreds of dollars for a commercial, or for an advertisement. Youtube doesn't charge you one cent. So a lot of people go to youtube, make videos, vlogs, postings, and all kind of interesting things. And they get a ton of feedback. Which makes them very happy, people visit youtube, and can't get off or away from that website. It has everything you can imagine. Funny things, sad, mad, happy, sexy, nasty, and so on. People love this website, and not too many people have complained about it! There is this one guy, who claims that youtube, saved his life, his son was taken from him, months after he was born. So in order to cheer himself up, he would make videos, to keep his head up, make him laugh, and so on. This to me, is simply amazing. If somebody can live after a death, and move on, instead of being sad and taking their own life, to me it is a blessing. I am really happy with youtube, and everything about it. I have no complaints about it what so ever. I am glad the producers of youtube, keep things new and updated every six months. It makes my day interesting, and fun. Oh and of course it makes my life bored-free! I was glad to hear that in my class I will have to watch a youtube video for homework! This is probably the most easiest homework that I have ever done in my life. Even though it was a little boring, I still enjoyed doing this assignment very much. And I will look forward to more video homework assignments. Hopefully they are not boring, like this one, but intersting.

Blog 3 and Writing Assignment Difference

My 3rd blog was significantly different from my writing assignment. It is somewhat similar, but I think it has almost nothing in common. The only thing that I believe it is similar is, that I am not pleased by my grade. But I am complaining to my friends, in my group. I don't confront the teacher what so ever. I am just talking behind her back, which is not something an adult would do, that is what something a kid would do. I also have a really good excuse, which is that I had got dropped from my financial aid. And I want to receive a higher grade. In the blog assignment, I just have to write 300 words. Which is not hard for me, because I am doing these 300 word blogs a week. Sometimes I might even do 2, 300 blogs a class period. That is why I am doing alot better, in writing, sentence structure, and grammer. In my writing assignment, I am trying to convince my teacher to change my grade, I am giving her a list of excuses, well lets not say excuses, lets say reasons to change my grade. In my assignment I say that I had got dropped from my financial aid, and I had to get everything settled with them. And that they made me choose my classes, I wanted the exact same ones. And they also told me that I was going to be a little lost in class, but I really wasn't because I had been in the class, I was just being there for no reason. I wasn't on the schedule. But anways, I beleive I should get a good grade on this assignment. If not, I will find my instructors car, and leave it on bricks. JUST PLAYING THIS IS NOT A THREAT, IT IS A JOKE! But anywho, to sum things up really quick, I will see to this on Friday.

Internet Dating

It never fails, it never fails. People are complaining about just anything they can now a days. They are complaining about internet dating. I can't seem to understand the way people like to make huge deals, about something that is somebody's elses business. They are saying young girls are being raped due to internet dating, and to other websites. Such as myspace, facebook, twitter, and just about any other website where you can meet people. First of all, girls should have a little more respect for themselves. If they want to meet somebody on the internet, they should be a little more safer about how they present themself. Or where they meet that other guy. They should at least meet somewhere, where there will be pleanty of people. And get to know the guy alot, before they decide to take their relationship really serious. Another thing is that their is people saying they are so and so, and they turn out to be somebody else. Which is an outrage. The people who pretend to be somebody else, is just the most craziest thing somebody can do. They are either ashamed of themselves. Which they shouldn't, because they should be happy who they are. They have to be their own person. Not trying to be somebody else. Like I said earlier in this blog, they should meet somewhere in public! So they can be seen, and meet the person first hand. I honestly think internet dating is stupid. But if other people find internet dating nice, and fun. Then go on ahead, and do your thing!

Internet Gays

There is a lot of people getting mad, saying that the websites should be for straight people trying to hook up with other straight people. A lot of people are going to gay websites, and trying to find them dates. As in men seeking men, and women seeking women. Straight people are going to this website, and getting really mad, and trying to close down these websites. Because it ain't right. That the internet dating is meant only for straight people. I think that the straight people should mind their own business. Because they have websites they can go to, and meet people they are interested in. For example, men seeking women, and women seeking men. So I don't have the slightest clue, why they would go to a gay website, and try to shut that website down. It don't make sense what so ever! They should let bigons, be bigons. They are humanbings too, they have feelings. Maybe not for the same things other people do. But they have feelings. So they should be left alone. What really grinds my gears, is that the stupid straight people are making a great big deal about this! They just want another thing to complain about. Which is stupid! But anyway back to the subject. I think if people want to be dating online, they should go ahead and do so. If they want to be seeking the same sex, that is fine by me. It may not be to others, but we are entiltled to our own opinion. Some like to speak their thoughts, and others like to keep it to themselves. Which mose people would greatly enjoy, if people would just keep their thoughts and personal opinions to themself. But any who, thank you for your time, and have a wonderful day. And feel free to date who ever you want to, wheather it be a man, womenn, boy, girl, or maybe even both. What ever you are happy with, then go for it.

Writing Assignment

Today's assignment was pretty good. I found out some things that I need to work on. For instance, I need to make my email a little more longer. I didn't elaborate as much as I should have. I was thinking my paper was just about finished. But I guess I was wrong. I still need to make it a little bit longer. I didn't give enough information, because I wasn't thinking about anything else, but finishing the paper. I kind of have a better idea on what to write about. I had help from my group members, who where: Julie, Soledad, some other girl that had joined our group. I forgot her name, I think it was Isis, or Iris. I really can't remember. But anywho, they each gave me their own opinion. And they also helped me out with my grammer, and sentence structure. And Mrs. Crawford helped me out a ton. I think when I finish my assignment, it will become a good assignment. If I fail, which I doubt, I will be pretty suprised. Because I will do my best. I have a feeling Mrs. Crawford will really like my paper. I kind of have nothing else keeping me back from doing the essay write now, but I have to do this blog. It will get me started on my writing, which is good for me. I kind of want to get an "A" so I will stop doing this assignment and start doing my other assignment.

9/16/09

Today, I didn't find anything hard about the assignment. I feel like this assignment should be easy. Well not easy, easy, but I feel like I can get a good grade on this. Because I Have a good imagination, and I can think of a few things to write about. So I found this topic very interesting. Usually I try to make my essays and storys kind of funny. This one might be a little different. Because I think I should try to be a little more serious. I can't always try to be funny, cause eventually my instructor will want to be things in a certain way. And I ain't to sure if being funny in my essays, or blogs, will meet their expectations. This assignment is the first real essay we are going to have to do. It is about me getting a bad grade, or should I say a grade that I was not happy with, and me trying to get it reconsidered. I don't have any idea what I should write it about yet. But I have an idea. I will do it tomorrow in the writing lab, because I have to get their help or approval. I'm not too sure, but I made an appointment for tomorrow, at 8:45. But anywho, I will be more prepared to do this assignment tomorrow morning. I just relized that I am going to have to wake up early again! I should of reconsidered this decision. But now it is way too late, so I won't be able to sleep in, and I am going to hopefully finish it, since I will be there early. I have to remember, in college I have to make sacrifices, and I am guessing that waking up early, and loosing out in sleep is one of them. But hopefully in the long run, it will make me a millionaire.

Yet Another Big Deal.

It never fails! It never fails, yet again, another big deal! Publisher's are making a huge deal about the new iphone being used in schools. If it is a good idea, to be using the iphone in class. That really goes hand in hand. It depends on the person who owns the iphone. They can be using the phone for a million things now. Technology has evolved in alot of ways, and in the cell phone is one of them. I personally do not own a iphone, but i know they are capable of a ton of things. I know it has a dictionary applitcation, spell check, gps, it has access to wireless internet, also has 3-g network. Which allows the iphone to use the internet where it isn't wireless. So if the student wants to check his email, or look up some information for a report, he doesn't need to get on the computer. Now that seems to be the problem with alot of publisher's. They think it affects them, that other people are not paying attention in their class, because of their phones. I don't see in anyway shape or form, how it affects them. If they are using their phone to help them with school work, or anything related in that subject, then it is definately benefiting them. If they are just on myspace or texting their friend's, thats their fault. The only person they are hurting, is themselves. They are going to miss out on a valuable lesson, and probably misunderstand the given assignment. But I still don't see how this is affecting the people writing articles about the iphone. They probably just want to get some good reviews, and want some fast cash. So they go on in other people's business. Which is just a big waste of their time.

Al Gore's Proposal

To get started on things, I'm sure everybody is in favor of putting computers, and access to the internet, in public schools. It has been proven that it can help the students and kids, to learn more! It also shows the statistics of students using a computer with access to the internet, and the students who don't use it, the students who do use the computer, tend to get higher grades than the students who did not. I think it would be a great idea, to start up a fund raiser, or some kind of fund to help out public schools get computers that have access the internet. Because there is plenty of useful websites, search engines, and email accounts. So there shouldn't be a real reason to not find the helpful information to complete a homework assignment, test, quiz, or anything that is needed for a class. And if the student has to miss class one day, they can simply email the teacher. As us college students do. In every grade they prepare you for the following grade, might as well prepare the students for college. Everybody is capable of passing high school, but now a days, you need more than just a high school deploma to do anything. So I am in favor of this proposal. Not just because it benefits the younger kids, but it benefits our society. Because we are going to have these students grow up, and they are going to become lawyers, doctors, fire fighters, police men, nurses, and so on. And they are going to have to be up to date with the computers, and technology. So might as well get them a head start, on using the internet. To guide them in the right direction, so we can help them further their education.

What is the Deal?!

Another thing I don't understand is why are they making a big, huge deal about the way we write in text messages, and emails. Everybody knows when to be formal, and when not to be formal. I don't see why people are going all crazy over somebody's text messages. It shouldn't be of any of their concer, if they aren't paying anybody's cell phone bill. And if they are not bein affected by the text messages. It does not take a rocket scientist to know when, and how to spell. Or should I say be formal, and use correct grammer. If I were to text one of my friends, I would say, "Wats up foo, what you doin? lol." Okay, if I were to email a teacher, I would say "Hello, I was wondering what are we doing for our assignment today? I missed class, and I just want to make up the work. I was very sick today, and I could not get out of bed, what so ever!" Majority if not everybody, knows when to be formal. So everybody needs to get off their friends case! Let them be, if they want to text the way the do, or email the way they do, then let them! All your doing is making your self stress out. Nobody is going to listen to anybody, if they try to make them text formal. Some people like to get away from spelling and grammer, that is why people gradutate from high school, and college. It shouldn't be on nobody's concern anyways! So if anybody wants to waste their own precious time, trying to tell me or anybody else, about how to be more formal in text messages or in emails, save your breath! I am pretty sure if will not work at all! But anyways, I g2g. My mom's been bugging me like crazy! I'm like WTF!? Peace out hommie!

Red Light Habit

Personally, I think this would be a good idea to start using. I heard it is only been used at one university. I find it very interesting. To get things straight, I heard that when you log on to your pals, or email address, it shows the light. When your light is showing green, it means that you are doing great/excellent. That means that you have an outstanding grade, that you been turning in homework, passing test, doing class work, and other things that make you pass. If it is showing yellow, you are still passing, but your not doing great, and your not doing horrible. So pretty much alot of people are going to be seeing yellow lights. And if you are seeing a red light, that is bad, very bad!! It means that you need improvements in all of your school work. You are failing, and need to pick up your grades as soon as possible. Because you can fail, it lets you know your grade average after 2 weeks in to the semester. So that is really good, as far as knowing where you are at in school. I know this would be really helpful at SAC, because as of right now, I have no idea what my grade is! I just know that I turn in all of my homework, and I'm doing what I should be doing. So I know I'm passing my classes. But the red light method would help out alot. So I could know more or less where I am in school. But since only one university is doing it, maybe they will pass on advice to other schools, and those school pass it on to other schools, and those schools pass it on to other schools, etc. And some how it gets down to my school, and pretty soon we will be doing that!

Today's Discussion

Today's discussion, kind of really opened up a different way, on how I see the class. We are having more work, which isn't bad at all. I find some of the material we are going to cover, pretty interesting. I am looking forward to what we will be doing, for our research! I know this class is going to be more interesting than my other ones. Because my other classes is just work, work, work.. They are okay, but I would prefer to do something that will catch my attention. I am more likely to pay attention, or do more work, if I find out what we are doing, is interesting. And if I am more interested in something, I tend to do a better job. I just hope I get good grades, because I do not want to be taking the class over and over again. Then I will be paying out of state tuition! And I really don't want to be paying that! My goal at the end of this semester, is to be good friends with the instructor, meet new people, get a good grade in my class (hopefully an A), and I also want to raise my GPA. I know this is possible, I just got to do all my work, and make sure I turn it on time. But anyways, I am going to be doing my best in this class, the work should be easy. After all, I am in the best group ever, which is CINCO!! But to some things up a bit, I will do every assignment, test, exam, home work, blog assignment, presentation, group work, group tests, and any other type of assignment the instructor decides to throw my way, with the best of my abilities!! In conclusion, I will be leaving you in suspense, until I continue my saga, in one of my blogs.

Dear Group CInco!

Man guess what?! Mrs. Crawford is steadily tripping! She gave me a 65 on my writing test! I was really mad, and I was also really disapointed. I mean, for pete sake! I am the group leader, I always do my work, I always turn in my work on time, I help all of the members in our group out, I wake up early because her class is first, I go asleep late doing all of her non-sense homework, and I can think of a million reasons why I didn't deserve this pathetic grade. She must of been mad, because we are always getting better grades than the "Strykers" or how bout the "All Stars". Its more like the "Loser Stars". Anywho, I say we boycott her class! I mean, who does she think she is, giving me a failing grade?! If I had 1,000,000 dollars for every time I got a low grade in Mrs. Crawford's class, I would have 1,000,000 dollars! And you know what, she has the nerve to make me stay after class!! Excuse me, but I am not in high school no more! That stopped years ago. Well not really, because I just graduated in June, but you get the picture. Sometimes I miss high school, because it was so easy to get along with the teacher. And I wouldn't get a bad grade, BUT NOOOO, not in college. Misses Grammer Check, "Mrs. Crawford", wants to be taking off points for not capitilizing "i's", or not capitilizing the first word of each sentence. Hello, we are only humanbeings! Anywho, see you females later. Im going to get on myspace, don't forget to comment my new pictures. Oh and by the way, I just made a facebook, so if any of you guys have a face book, don't forget to send me a friend request.

Your group Leader,
Jesse Torres

P.S. I'm only playing about this letter Mrs. Crawford!! Your a badass instructor!!
