Monday

Well I believe you where out on monday. You said that we can have a free blog, so that means I get to write about anything I want to. Monday was pretty easy for me. I went to school, and my first class was empty. So I went to get something to eat with Soledad, and Alejandro. We went to get some food at the Lofting Student Center. I ate two tacos, which were chorizo con huevo, and a ham and egg taco. They where pretty good, except the fact that the tortillas tasted like cardboard. Oh and the soda that I purchased was horribly flat. I thought for a split second that I was drinking contaminated water. I am not sure if you ever tried some water that was contaminated, but it tastes contaminated. It is not a comforting feeling at all. After my breakfast, I went to the reading lab. There is where I do my reading lab work. The teacher I have for that class is really cool. She let us leave a little early. And she did not assign any homework for the day. So my day kept on getting better, and better. My third class was coming up. But I was waiting in the Moodly Learning Center. So when it was time for my class to start, I showed up. And my teacher was no where to be found.

Compare OR Contrast

When I found out that I was going to write an essay about MySpace and Facebook. My first reactions where, "Wow, this is going to be really easy." But as I started to hear some of the requirments, my thoughts seem to stray away from my original thoughts. So as usuall, I went to the writing center for guidance. I was originally going to write some things that MySpace and FaceBook were different. But I found out that it is more simple to write the things that were alike. Because I can think of a million things that MySpace and FaceBook have in common. So I started to gather all the information I could think of. Which was just as common as anything to everything. I picked out three of the major things MySpace and FaceBook had in common. And from there, my ideas kept on raging. They grew, and grew until I couldn't think of anything else. When I went to the writing center for guidance, I was no where near prepared. I thought they were going to give me a pat on the back for good work, but they didn't do nothing but correct my whole entire essay. It was more than fine for me. I did not want to turn in a lowsy paper. I am actully pretty glad that they told me my paper was basically a piece of crap.

Annotated Bibliography

Well first of all, this is probably the most difficult assignment so far! Not only is it difficult it is time consuming, and probably the longest process ever. I can't seem to get the hang of this assignment. But I'm going to the writing center, to get me started on the article. It is a little hard, but if I try my best, I can do well on this assignment. I feel like I am not getting the material, nor the attention I need. I feel like I am all on my own. This is very hard for me to manage. I need some extra guidance from my group, and possibly my instructor. If this is not to much to ask for, that is. Maybe If I were to stay after class and ask several questions or something. Getting started is the most difficult thing to do. If I can get a great start, the body, and conclusion should be very easy. I am not trying to say that its going to be easy for me, but once that happens, there is no limit to what I can do. I suprise myself everytime I write something. Wheather it be funny, serious, or straight out random, overall I can do a good job.

Writing Center Exp.

When we were in the writing center, we were reviewing our comparison or contrast essay. I found out that I wasn't talking to much about how MySpace and FaceBook were alike. I kept on giving examples. And talking more about the fact that they are alike. Sort of the way, as if I was doing it in 1st person. Originally, the essay is suppose to be 3rd person. So I had alot of work that I needed to be done. I never would have noticed the problem. But I was in a different group that day. And they pointed it out, I could not believe myself. I felt like I was in high school, still making careless mistakes. How could I let myself slip up like that. I am pretty glad I got this taken care of. Luckily we have groups, and we have time to go back into the writing center, and review and examine our work. If we did not do this, I would probably not gone over my assignment. And I would of failed. If I failed, I would have to retake the course. That would really suck, because I came all this way just to fail. I don't thing so. I would be hurt from my financial aid. Which would lead into less financial aid. So I am happy to say that the writing center experience was fairly well. Needless to say, if it were up to me, and if I have the available time, I would see the writing center on a normal basis. I get essays from class about every 2 to 3 weeks. So I could atleast visit once a week, to see where I stand in class, and on my articles or essays. This would be a fairly well plan to put my time into. Only if I had the time. I go to the writing center speratcaly. I know this can effect me, but if I went to them all the time, it will effect my other classes. So I am in a win loose situation. Never the less, I would say stay in school, stay off drugs, and always attend class on a regular basis. You should also sit infront of the class when you can. If you can not, sitting as close as you can to the instructor, will be your best bet. And visit the writing center, it can really be affective on your half as a San Antonio College student.

ThanksGiving

Well Thanks Giving is just another day to me. I still get up in the same mood, way, and manner. I don't get all happy because its Thanks Giving. I just get up, and get dressed. This Thanks Giving I am going to work. So I am just going to work, come home and eat. My family grows and grows each year. My cousins have kids, and their kids have kids, and its too much hastle for them to come to my parents house and celebrate. Most of the time its just my intermediate family. I am buying the turkey this year. Well actually I am getting the turkey for free. My work gives all the partners a free turkey. So I will try to find the biggest fattest turkey out there. Last year I did the same thing. I worked and when I had gotten home, the food was ready. I need to pick up the turkey by tomorrow. So I can put it in the freezer, and take it out the night before Thanks Giving. Like I said it isn't really a big deal to my family or to me. But this is one of the few times we all hang out together. Because now a days, my family is really busy. My mom works, as well as my sisters, and brothers. So we will all be off this day, (except for me). But I am going to get out early. I am working on Thanks Giving day because I am going to be getting paid time and a half! I make $9 normally, so that day I will be making $13.50. Which is not bad, because I am gonna have like 40 hours that week. So I will be banking it that day! I believe that I am going to transfer departments. I have a feeling that I will be working in Grocery that day. I really hope I do not. Because I really do work alot. And it is physical work too. Im going to be moving up and down, and all around the place. I am not going to like it one bit. I am saying this because, I am going to be dressed really nice. I hope I dont mess up my clothes. Because that will ruin my future plans.

Today in class we rewrote our assignment. It was on the compare or contrast essay, of Myspace and Facebook. The first thing I did was read what I wrote yesterday. I do not know why I wrote some of the things that I did yesterday. When I was reading it, I could not help but laugh. I wrote everything over again. I did not even keep some of the same material, actually I did not keep any material from mondays assignment. I spent alot of time thinking about what I should of wrote, before I started writing. I noticed that I did soo much thinking, and not enough writing. I found this assignment fairly easy. I should get an "A+" on this paper. There is some signifacant differences on Myspace and Facebook. But there is also alot of similarities. That is why I am writing about all the things Myspace and Facebook have in common. I like several things about Myspace, and a few things about Facebook. I am more of a Myspace fan, but I can not complain about Facebook. It is almost the same thing. But like I said, there is plenty of differences. So I started to write the major similarities about these networks. I found it faily easy. I can't beleive I wasted alot of time on thinking about all the posibilites of my paper. When I just needed to do it, instead of stalling. I find this class fairly easy. I can't wait till I get into the college level course. I am going to try and pick Ms. Crawford's Freshman Composition class. I think if I can pass this class, I will be able to pass any of these classes. When I am done with writing essay, I will be satisfyed when I see my grade. Because I know it is going to be a passing grade.

On Friday we attended the computer room, and we wrote about SAC. Well if you do not know me, I am a real funny guy who likes to joke around all the time. So to start things off I titled my essay "SAC is What Separates the Men from Boys!" And from there on, I kept on cracking jokes here and there. But other than that, I was just being dumb. I kind of learned how to use the MLA format. I wasn't really too sure what our thesis statement was about. But it is more than okay, I was not too concerned about it. And Friday was a really big day for me, it was me and my girlfriend's one year aniversy. It was alright. I went to go eat Saltgrass. Everybody, told me it was the best steak place to go eat at. After that experience, I doubt I will go eat at Saltgrass again. But to get back to the story, my English 301 class is the best, and I will be more than happy to be in Mrs. Crawford's Freshman Composition class.

Today's articles, well to start things off my group was one of the groups who presented. (We were the most well performend, and we had the most interseting stories.) Our presentation consisted of 3 articles. Although we only had the link for 2 of the given aritcles, we did an outstanding job. The article me and Julie went over, was about Facebook. Most people in your class own a Facebook page. The article went over how a whole bunch of people were getting rid of their facebook. They gave reasons like they considered themselves stalkers because they would be on somebody elses page, for hours and not leave them any type of comment. And other people say that it makes them look bad. Honestly, these people just want attention. I don't know why, or I do I understand why they have to write articles about this. Okay, if you don't like facebook, or anything about it, why would you waste your time on how they don't like facebook. What caught my attention about this passage, was one important line. It was when it says, "The facebook profile isn't you, Its wat you make if of you." Which is 100% true! People are saying their facebook makes them look horrible, because of this and that. When you think about it, what did you pu on your profile to make it seem like that! You shouldn't blame anybody but yourself. So these no for good low lives, should do something else, other than complain about a website. It the other group they had a presentation that caught my attention. It wasn't because it was interesting, but it was because it was so iggnerant. I can't beleive the nerve on some people. There are a whole bunch of people going against myspace. Because little girls are getting raped, and people are being kidnapped from their homes. And all of these stupid mistakes one does. I don't blame nobody else, but the person who creates the profile. And there are many things that could have been done to prevent this. There is young girls, lying about their age, and saying they are a legal age. And they meet up with guys, and loosing their virginities. If it hasn't been taken already. They should consult with their parents permission, before they make a myspace or anything. If they aren't of age. So stay away from nagging little girls, that want to be your friend.

YouTube Video 11/02/09

Other than this youtube video being the most boring thing I have ever watched in my life, it was alright. To tell you the truth, I don't even know what the lady was trying to say. Or what point she was trying to prove. All I heard was, "blah, blah, blah, blah!" I was hopeing the video would be cut short, looks like I was very wrong. It took forever and a day to finish. Actually, we didn't even have enough time to finish watching that video in class. I am not sure if it was because we started to watch the video in class late, or it was just very long. The way the lady was putting things, was so dull and boring. I couldn't help but think of other videos on youtube. I would have rather watched something funny on youtube. There is like millions of videos posted on that website a day, and some how we were stuck to watch that video. Like I said before, I have no clue what the lady was trying to prove, but I do remember her repeating herself, and repeating herself. It was quiet annoying if you ask me. I know all of my members in my group didn't like the video either. I am not too sure about the other groups in the classroom, how they felt about the video, but I am pretty sure they were unhappy with it. It was just like the other video we had to watch. That video was just as boring, I can't remember the name of it, but it was an hour long. And it took forever to finish. Back to the subject at hand, I really hope we do not have to watch that boring video. Because if I do, I think I am going to flat out die in my chair. And I really do not want that happen. I wouldn't know how my group react, knowing the lost a leader. But not just any leader, probably the best, funniest, coolest, nicest, out-going, etc, kind of leader. I wouldn't know what to do without my group. They are always there for me when I need to know when a blog is due, or when I need directions on an assignment. So in conclusion, when watching a boring youtube video, it is always helpful to have group members, or friends, that can help you through this time of crisis. And let you in on some further information about the given video.

Killing Us Softly Part 3

This video showed me how much technology can change the image of somebody. It take an ordinary looking girl, and turns her into a beautiful women. It shows her flaws in the begging of the video. And as it goes on, it shows how they move her face, and do numerous things to her. In the end it shows her, and you wouldn't beleive that it was the girl in the first place. It made me think, about how people really look when I see them on posters and on billboards. With technology now a days, it makes it impossible to beleive what I really see. In the other video we saw, it shows a guy. I am not trying to be gay in any way shape or form, but he was a decent looking guy. Then they start rewinding what they had did to the guy. Originally he had pimples and bad acne. He was really chubby, and he had ugly hair. It shows how he use to eat. And so forth. I couldnt beleive what I was looking at. It was really weird. But it just shows how technology has evolved.

Free Blog

Well well well, I always knew things would come down to this. I always wanted a free blog, it just makes my life complete. This week was my birthday week, and it has been going good all week. I turned 19 on Wednesday, of October 28, 2009. I wasn't too excited, because 19 is nothing to be looking forward to. It started off as a regular day, I woke up and went to school. It was starting off slow. Nobody really knew it was my birthday, except for like two people. So it was a little depressing. Untill I got a text message from my friends and family. I started to get a little more happy. I went to go get a hair cut, and it came out decent. I also bought some clothes, so I can wear that night. So as the day went on, it was getting better and better. My girlfriend and I went to the Towers Of The Americas. It was pretty cool, and it was a big suprise. She also got me a ipod, not just any ordinary ipod. It was the newest and latest ipod. It was able to record and it has alot of giga bytes. So I can have a whole bunch of music on it. I was really happy. Then I went to go eat with my friends from work and school. We went to Buffalo Wild Wings. My friend Fabian bought me some shoes that I had been wanting. I was happy, and then the food was really good. My other friend Robert, bought me some cologne. And I also got a gift from my friend Jim. He bought me some accesories for my car. And I thought my day couldnt get any better, until I found a $1 dollar bill on the floor. I was soo excited. I didn't think all the things that had happened could have been true, but turns out, it was the real deal baby!
