Internet Famous

I was not sure if we had to type it up after because i was confused at the time but i want to make a website just for myself. I dont know if I would be able to offer some advice or anything i could give to other people. I would and am going to join Linked in because it is a very important aspect of life and might join Sparta jobs because you get to meet new employers and a meeting with them to be able to explore new career opportunities if you are not decisive about it. I am also going to try to put everything i have together because it is very important to me. I would like to join clubs and their websites in order to make mine interesting. I would basically like to explore anything new where i could make a possible change.

Finals Week

Surprisingly it hasn't been that hard considering i only have three classes but that is besides the point. I think that the only final i was actually worried about was the math final because i have not been trying the class at all. I wish i had something to look forward too but i was very confident about the final and that i did well so i should be in Calculus next year. The only finals i have next are Muse and Engineering 8. Muse class i have essays and after reviewing notes i think i have everything down. For Eng 8 i don't have a final at all and are going to watch a movie instead. It was an extremely fun class and i have met and made really good friends. I am ready to roar through this week. i cant wait until next year when i have a full schedule and be stressed out. i don't know why i am looking forward to it but i am. Consider me a little weird because i love school.

Last Day

Today was the last day of classes and it was ok. have nothing to complain about. had fun with friends. didn't actually play football just saw other people play but it was fun too considering i suck at football. Today school was easy and weirdly i had some fun playing pool, video games, and the football. put up Christmas tree and now doing nothing but finishing blogging. Ironically i should be studying but instead of making excuses i am just putting it off. Going to study tomorrow and Thursday for math for sure though because i work.

Weekend and Week.

My week was awesome for some reason. I think i had the most fun this past month because there hasn't been much drama besides the two deaths. My relationship cannot be any better and i don't know if i sound gay or not but it has been fun. I have now almost been with my girlfriend for about 3 years. i have found out that i have a lot of patience (hopefully she doesn't read this :0). Have had fun and might even go to Tahoe for a change. Never visited anywhere that is strange to me so i think it would be really fun. Probably ask a friend if they could rent out a cabin because apparently almost everyone's parents that went to Bellarmine have a cabin or two that they always rent out for the winter. As odd as it may sound i am looking forward to finals.

Math and last week

I really dont know what the computer center at the MLK has to do with anything but my week has been ok and i think i have been having a lot fo fun because i now dont have as much stress as i have had and now for both of my finals are more or less a party except for my math final that i have to study for because i do not know what type of grade i have and all of my tests have been high C's and that is without studying and trying but i need to pass the test in order to go into math 30. enjoyed the class at times when it was interesting which is only recently that you one can feel not obligated to be there and actually learn something.

Week to not look forward to

Tuesday, December 1, 2009

Tuesday.

I am really stressed and don't have enough time for anything. i feel that i have a lot to do and dont have enough time. I wish that we didnt have finals and that everything just goes away. i dont have enough time to do anything but it somehow feels that i have enough time for anything. I dont know what to do but to go as far as i can and do as much as i can. trying to do as much work as possible.

back

well back to school. not that excited tat everything is coming to an end because then it gets packed with things to do. Have to keep on moving forward. My vacation was ok but there was a double funeral and thanksgiving wasn't that cheery for either side of my family. Could not complain. Did go out and now have netflix and every time i had i would spend watching the free movies instantly. It is actually pretty cool. it was a relaxing vacation besides the whole working part of it but i dont mind the extra money. Family finally raffled the pocket bike and now moving on with life and everything. Although i do think that these holidays are going to be pretty sad. O well, things happen for a reason and whether we like it or not we cannot do much about it.

Sunday, November 22, 2009

Bloggin

Well i haven't really blogged this week because i have not had time but i am almost done with everything i have to do now. I am trying to get things done because i no longer want to stress out and after Wednesday almost everything will literally be over. No more drama of doing things and having to do things for people. The funerals end Wednesday and as sad as it may seem i am happy. We can now continue to move on and worry about school completely. Of course i am completely exhausted and i might not come on Wednesday because the funeral is in the morning and ends at noon. Hopefully i make it back in time. We did go to the premier of twilight but it wasn't that good. I got really dizzy because of the dumb camera. My nystagmus and the movie did not go well. Friday and Saturday didn't do much and got back from the funeral a while ago. Now to start hw and try to pull an all niter. really tired though.

Your Journal (12)

I think an ideal job for me would be waking up early and having the energy and enthusiasm to get up in the morning to go to work. I would like to have good hours like going in at 8 in the morning and then being out like around 3 or 4 in the afternoon. I would like to have my own office and be a top notch worker. I think for my job i would like to go all the way and get a PhD if i am given the opportunity.I think that i actually have pretty high chances of getting my dream job because if i do set my mind to it and do everything possible than i can accomplish or even part of it. To increase my chances all o am going to do is go all out and try my best at everything.

Know Yourself (12)

Well my values is that i would like a good job that has flexible or at least decent working hours with good pay. I would like to have the daily job that you work until 4 or five while going in at 8 in the morning and having a job that i love to do. I would like to work with people i like and feel powerful because who doesn't want to. I would like to be a creative and go out with friends and family to parties. Of course when we have to work we have to work. I would not drink and have fun. I would also like to spend time with my family of my own if i get the chance an meet that one special person for me even though i think i met them already but no one ever knows because sometimes fate changes your future. I want to have fun and explore the world because i know that if i settle down too soon that will be it.

Week and weekend

Not as much fun because all i did was work and try to help my family raise money for the funeral. Just waiting for grandma to die now after a cousin died and now i am trying to catch up with work because i am really lagging on school work. Need to get help on math for sure this week though because it is the last section and i need to be on top of my game. I t was not that bad because we went to see 2012 and i thought it was ok but once we saw the animals being carried we knew for sure it was like a Noah's ark and it was. very predictable at the end but it was ok. Next week the actual funeral so we'll see how it goes.

Your Journal (11)

Well with my family money has always been a problem living in the east side. I would not say that we were poor but we had enough money to do whatever we wanted. My brothers would play soccer and that was when we had more money than ever because my dad had two jobs. I learned though early that it is hard trying to earn money. I had both an allowance and i worked with my dad and it was not easy. I would save all of the money i could and until recently i started spending of course only on the things i needed. I was able to save hundreds of dollars. I think that i now have control over how i spend my money and that will greatly help me in the future because hopefully i will not be in debt.

Know Yourself (11)

Well this chapter has to do about money and learning how to spend your money. Money is as easy to spend as it is to earn. but that is most definitely not true. You can bust your butt off trying to work more hours and nothing is going to make a difference. I personally pay everything on time and barely make the payment. I currently have no credit cards thank god and am able to pay on my own or with my parents help. I tend to spend money only if i need it. What i noticed though is that most of my money goes towards going out which is not good because i automatically assume i can buy things and not think of the consequences. Other wise i think i am ok and i am learning to control my spending so i am not a heavy spender. You will be working your butt off the rest of your life so might as well enjoy it now that you might not be working because later no matter what you do it is not going to be enough.

weekend

Well my weekend was not all that great. i forgot to turn in my hw and i think its late now. Now i am stressed. I had a test that i did not know i was prepared for or not. i haven't had a good weekend because i worked more hours than i have had to before and now i get one day off extra. Going to relax of course. Now i am stressed and saddened to know that yesterday around 3 in the morning someone died from my girlfriends family who i learned to care about and died. He was also a current San Jose State student and it is hard to know that i will no longer be seeing him considering he treated everything with kindness and respect and was one of them that welcomed me to his family. It has been hard trying do work and homework and not being able to be thinking about what has happened in such a little time. There are other problems that i cannot talk about and it is basically not the best time or thing to do. Hard to do the video over again. working on it thought.

Wednesday, November 4, 2009

University Conversation

Well i thought that the university conversation was interesting. I thought it was funny that somehow they would digress from the question that was really asked. They tried to answer questions that would not alarm the students and create a riot. When they were explaining something they said indirectly that they were going to kick out students in order to bring down then numbers. This idea was then brought up again but in those same direct words and then they try to make it seem like they never said that when they did. My Tuesday was ok and so was that Monday because i was able to relax and work has not been that hard. I work today though because i switched my schedule. Its all good though almost turning in paper still double checking it.

Monday, November 2, 2009

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NOJsoVw8UM
well i thkn i fell behind on posts but not on the homework cuz i finished almost all of it but two sections two weeks ago. Now my halloween was amazing. I went to the corn fields and got lost for about an hour and now i have nothing to do but homework. The sorry part about my weekend is that i did not feel good at all and didnt come to school on Thursday. Wednesday a night i started feeling sick then thursday and friday were my worst days. After is settled down and was able to go out again. Need to catch up and teach myself work. And i didnt know how to work the music and if had been postponed. About to post video up too. Had problems with transferrring but for using the program i did it worked pretty good.

Wednesday, October 28, 2009

Monday and Tuesday

Well i have already posted all of my homework and all i need to go is blog at least until next week. Class was cool having to learn about free money. It was funny because once Prof Dan said where to go to make your blog pop up more. Pat went crazy lets put it that way it was super funny. Hella true though. Tuesday and Monday was cool except Tuesday not enough fun because it was stressful and tiresome because there was a lot of driving. Nothing else to do except video which i am having camera trouble with. Stressful day today.

Sunday, October 18, 2009

The Weekend

I think that this weekend was really successful because i finished all the work that i had to do. I didn't have to catch up i just needed to do my blogs correctly and i think i made the deadline because i was unclear of it. I think it was all around successful. I went out this weekend to watch Zombie land and i thought it was a nice funny movie then we rented movies and watched them all Saturday night at least one. I hooked up a cousin with getting out of the house. Now i am blogging and thinking what to do because i feel stressed and dont know what to do. Might have a full day tomorrow with no money.

everything i need to do

Know Yourself (2)
Well I don’t think I am completely lonely. Although at the beginning of the semester I did feel lonely but then I noticed that it was mostly me that was creating that and I have changed. Now I think I can associate myself with a group of people and we have a lot of fun. When I answered the questions for the journal it seemed that I was lonely but I did have a lot of people around me that I didn’t take advantage of. It might not be as easy for me as other people but I am able to find companionship in almost anyone I meet. It takes a while for me to get use to it though because it’s weird for me to go out of my common circle or people I just meet from other friends. Now I actually have to work at working friends and not just expect people to come up to you and be friends.
Your Journal (2)
Well I have been combating loneliness myself each and every day. Every day I do talk to my girlfriend and that’s how I start. After I talk to her I usually find someone I can hang out with. We either go play video games at their dorms or we also go to Student Union and play pool or video games. We haven’t had the chance to bowl because there is always a class in session when we want to bowl. I would reflect on my roommate but I don’t have one or else I would have answered that question instead.
Know Yourself (3)
As sad as this may be and as much as I don’t want to admit it, I am a procrastinator. I am practically a 100 percent procrastinator which comes to no surprise. I usually wait to the last minute to do what I have to do. The only thing is that if I know that it is really important then I make sure I do it as soon as possible if not then I personally don’t feel satisfied. What I noticed though is that the only thing I procrastinate is on homework because everything else I do that second. If I need to pay, wash, work, etc, I am there with in the second or am starting on it right away.
Your Journal (3)
Now that I know I am a procrastinator I try to finish everything I have early. I want this to be the change of habit. What I am trying to do is not completely finish my homework but at least finish most of the work so then I just have to type it up and reflect on it. If I have a reading I would finish the reading but leave the questions and reflection until another day so I won’t have to worry much about it. Plus usually when I do it later it comes out better. This has really helped me improve. I know its not much different than what I did but it’s better than before.
Know Yourself (4)
Knowing the way you learn is very important. Not only can it help you decide what you would be best at but it can also help you partly at deciding a career. I am more logical and a math type of guy and my profession is an engineer and when I compared to what the book said its exactly what it is suppose to be. I thought that was pretty interesting but hey things happen for a reason. Also I am a person that learns in almost every way. I don’t favor one way more than the other which is great for me. I am a visual learner although not my strong point, but I am an auditory and a tactile learner. It mostly works for me the best if it’s a mixture of auditory and tactile teaching.
Your Journal (4)
I am considering computer engineering as my major. The intelligence that fits best with this major is mathematical and logical thinking as well as creativity which is what I have except for the creativity part not as much. The sensory that would work well with this major are tactile and auditory and not as much auditory. For the fourth question in this major all would apply because engineers must reflect, be active learners, critical thinkers, and creative thinkers. I think that my personality does go with engineering because I love meeting new people and discussing things that we both know. I can make small talk but if I don’t know the person well it would be harder to keep it going. I think I am pretty well suited and now only time will tell.
Know Yourself (5)
Everyone solves problems differently whether it comes to math, engineering, or even life. Not everyone’s decision and mind set are the same. Me I don’t know how I solve problems until I used the analyzation on the know yourself section. I don’t readily identify problems at first because I don’t bother to check things. I readily assume that it should be correct. I do check if it is math though because you can never trust numbers. I can define problems but not as easily. It takes a while for me to find the right words. My three strong points of solving problems are finding different methods, put plans into action, and examining if my work was affective or not. These are my strong points and I would have not known it. I do recognize that I have trouble but never what else I was good at.
Your Journal (5)
Personally I am one of those people who don’t like to answer questions because like everyone else I think I may look dumb. If I do ever say something I feel like people laugh or critique you. If I had any other choice I would rather not do anything and personally reflect on what I am asking until I figure it out myself. It might take me a while or I interrupt people like I wanted to hear what they were saying in order to learn myself. I was mostly raised to be independent and that is what I have been. I feel bad that people help me because it is unnecessary. I have asked more questions and it has made a difference and now hopefully I can raise my grade.
Know Yourself (6)
My reader profile is of course not surprising to me because its exactly what I already know about myself. When I have to read I rather wait to the end to judge the reading assignment. If I do read a book and its one heck of a book then I greatly admire those people like one Spanish writer named Borges. I like to read and know what I am going to in order to understand the reading. When I don’t know something I don’t stop I continue because every word can have multiple meanings and if I keep reading they will define themselves. When I read I just read and take a lot of notes. Almost each paragraph I would write a summary in order to really understand the story. It doesn’t matter if it takes days but I do it especially if I like it because then I can’t stop reading.
Your Journal (6)
Well I personally don’t daydream in class much. What I notice that happens to me is that I blank out completely and since I am tired I feel like going to sleep. I am not that good of a sleeper. I can stay awake for hours without hardly any sleep at night. Then during the day is when I am sleepy and practically falling asleep. I like it when a class is energetic and fun. If the class is just everyone on their own then it gets me even more tired and I have to try to keep blood flowing. I usually have to move around to stay awake if not I just go to sleep. What I have been trying to do is go to sleep when I am out of class in the morning and wake up before the next one. I try to keep interested in each teacher and tell myself that everything is important and I need to succeed. That’s how I pretty much get through my day.
Know Yourself (7)
I decided to take the sleep disorder test because I have always found it hard to sleep. I can feel really tired but if I do something physically that really pushes my body then I feel really awake. I can go without sleep for hours on end. I feel really tired but I cannot sleep and out of all the questions I think I am only positive for 11, which is not bad. I think most things are in my head and my asthma doesn’t help so I feel like I constantly have pressure to overcome not only by the stress that I have. I have been able to sleep better and if I don’t I feel like I have slept for a long time. I am just weird like that but I feel that I myself am going through a lot of changes so I don’t mind at all.
Your Journal (7)
Well I personally don’t think I need a study group right now. I haven’t needed one not to sound over confident. But I know that once I have more courses that challenge me I am going to have to have some type of study group. I think the groups I would have to have are for math and for any engineering course that I may take. I would bring my persistence to the group while also making it fun to do work. A negative talent though is that I talk a lot. If I need help I need to be constantly working at it until I get it, which distracts and probably gets others mad for sure.
Know Yourself (8)
With the questions that I had to answer for the self assessment for test anxiety I am sure that I have to clearly work at it. Out of the 13 questions I don’t relate to only 2 questions. That is really bad because I know the material and can study for days but I know it’s pointless because I can never do as well as if it was just homework or a quiz. I think I would like to get personally helped by the counseling center for test anxiety because that is what really hurts my grades.
Your Journal (8)
For high school and college I think I am putting the same effort as if I was still at Bellarmine. I think Bellarmine was a little harder because teachers would be stricter and I would have tons of more homework. I have just needed to hold my ground academically. Where I have needed to improve though is the economic area because I am trying to pay everything myself. I want to take more classes is one thing that I want to change and hopefully I can really focus on school more than I am now.
Know Yourself (9)
Personally for the know yourself section of this chapter I don’t feel at liberty to discuss any of the questions. I am personally ashamed that I can’t answer any of these questions without being embarrassed. Just to make it short and to the point, I do not write well and I most definitely do not know how to speak in public because of how scared and nervous I get.
Your Journal (9)
Well in high school we had a writing binder we had to keep since freshman year because it would later benefit us while trying to enter college. I have always had trouble with punctuation. I never can tell what the proper way of writing is and if people start explaining whether in Spanish or English: the preterit, adverbs…etc, I will not get. It’s hard for me especially since I don’t get my points across in a clear and distinct manner.
Know Yourself (10)
Personally I don’t think that I can be doing or should be doing all I can do to enjoy life right now. After taking the healthy lifestyle I can see I have it pretty good. I answered the questions and I have a healthy lifestyle and its ok for my health. I should worry more about it but I am good for now. Even with this answer I feel like I can be doing so much more to be enjoying myself even if it does mean that I have to be in debt.
Your Journal (10)
I don’t think I have a healthy diet after checking myself for a week. I think I will eat anything that is put in front of me. I really don’t eat much because I am almost never hungry and I know that is bad because have to eat. I can only have two meals a day because that’s all I can eat and sometimes I just eat once a day. I like to eat our more but the weird things is that I don’t like fast food but regular food that I would be having at home which is really dumb because its free at home. I have been trying to eat more but in smaller quantities. I have also been exercising to keep my metabolism up and keep my asthma and other problems down. I have been improving little by little until I am fully healthy again.

Video Blog

Well for our video i think everything is going ok. I know that i have imagination block. I can think if different ideas but most of mine are not good at all. I have been the creative type but i am a more boundary type of guy and going outside a normal box is hard for me. I like to make things up. For the video i have been trying hard to try to find different things to put in the video and make my own so that when its put together i know more of what is going on. I am more of a person that if given the task will get it done. I am also up for anything that is thrown at me. I am on board for almost anything. I like my group and i know that i might not be the most creative guy or the easiest to talk to they put up with my silence and me in general. I think we are going to have fun especially for what we are planning for our video.

Chapter 7 review

This section had mostly to do with getting to know yourself better not just to know yourself like other sections but to learn about how you function and when do you function at your full potential. You should know how and when to study because if you dont than everything is pointless. If you try to just go to class to just pass it then you learn nothing at all. One should be more engaged in what they are learning. What i learned from the Know yourself section is that i need to learn to memorize more information by reinforcing the lessons that are taught during class. For the journal section i know i am not that group oriented. I do like being around people and i have to be in a noisy environment to be able to work effectively and if i am not than i cant work the same. I do prefer to study in groups because even if you might not know how everything works you figure it out. Especially if the groups are friends then asking questions isn't that hard because your friends know you even if you ask some dumb questions and wont judge.

Catch up + overwhelming day.

Well monday was an ok day but by Friday i have to catch up with work that i have been doing wrong. Now i know for sure what to do. I knew that i would incorporate some of the reading into my blogging but now i understand more the concept. I was being told from two sources different things. Now starting tomorrow i will have everything up and going since i have pre drafts for everything then i just need to submit to blackboard. Today though was not a very good day. After school i found out that my supposed mother in law, which is what i call her because she calls me son in law, was in an accident. I have grown really attached to my girlfriend's family and hearing this news was devastating especially knowing i couldn't tell my girlfriend. It really sucked so i was at the hospital until i had to go to work then i left to work. I couldn't think of anything else other than the accident and my girlfriend's reaction. Everything turned out ok and now she is home and resting.

Overview

Scooter/ skateboard race
Squirrel fighting
random educational puppet scene
dont fight me, fight a stuffed bear.
Love triangle with a tree
Guy's singing "Single Ladies"
Random Questions

Overall our video is going to be random goofy things. We will be located all around campus mainly in the dorm area in order for us to interact with other students. Hopefully we can catch people off guard and have fun with the video.

wednesday through sunday.

Well my weekend was probably the best weekend i have had since the beginning of school. I cant really say much other than that. We went out to the movies and watched paranormal activity and it was ok but pretty creepy because it looked real. It did look fake to me though because at the beginning it was as scratchy as a real video but then later it seemed as if was directed. I dont know though that is just me. It did almost suck because i almost worked an extra day for free and another because i almost worked a double shift. it all worked out though and the worst is over. I forgot about my math test though but i think i got a good grade. Now i am doing work that i have to catch up with like this one. Not stressing one bit though. everything falling into place.

Monday and Tuesday

Both my Monday and Tuesday have been really good. I think this is the best beginning of the week i have had ever before. Monday i didn't do much but i stayed busy by playing pool in the Student Union with friends and then going out and reaching out to old friends and making plans. Work was not hard at all just had to do my job and its been pretty slow but its nice considering were going to make an order for about 2000 people. Hopefully i do go out on a double date so i am hoping it all works out. Going to work on the video on wednesday or atleast brainstorm some more and hopefully we get it done. This is the first time that i look forward to the rest of the week.

Weeks going by

Well this weekend i didnt do much again. This time i did have a chance to go out and it was fun. Of course it was also a miserable weekend because now someone close to me is leaving me and my brother left as well. So i have to fill in his spot and help out every night until probably 1 in the morning while having my job and still doing homework. This time we went to see the movie that i totally forgot the name. Found out that instead of using a video camera it would be easier to use a digital camera. Have ten weeks or less with that special person and really stressed out and tired. The rest of the semester is not going to be fun at all. It will but not as exciting as it should be. Cant do anything about it so whatever.

Tuesday, September 29, 2009

Monday

Monday was a good day for. In the first class we went over things I already know like always. Then i was occupied with friends so that was nice for a change. Then today i went to play pool in the morning because i was really bored. Monday we had fun in class playing bang. Of course i would have wished to have lasted longer. Too bad i was busy turning off my computer. It looked like fun though but i didn't know if i could join back in because i learned how to play it after a while. Work is OK and i cant complain especially since i need the money. I didn't do that bad this week. About to start work in half an hour and i think i might have not done that well in my engineering quiz. Test freeze up. Need to go to that workshop for that. that's all for me.

Saturday, September 26, 2009

Weekend

My week so far is ok. I have nothing to complain about because i am still keeping busy and i have things to do. Not going out anytime this weekend which really sucks but i have to deal with it. I have been doing homework and catching up with my chores and going to work so i have plenty to do. Still cant complain cuz i am spending time with my girlfriend of course she is doing homework too. I have kept up with my homework so you wont see any questions assimilated in this one. This weekend is sort of relaxing though and just focusing on work. Would like to have some fun later though. See everyone on Monday. Later.

class presentation

• If you know your speech and you’re confident about what you are talking about than its going to be really easy.
• Make eye contact and good body posture.
• Make sure you know your speech and don’t read from your slides because you should be able to elaborate.
• Practice makes perfect.
• The more you speak the more comfortable you are and imaging anything you might have to
• Minimize the ums and the ah’s.
• Don’t make eye contact look over head instead.
• Don’t turn your back to the audience
• If you have note cards then make sure you’re not reading from them.
• Power points make sure it’s not a block of information and have visual aids. But don’t overdo it as well.
• Make the font large enough on the slides so they can be legible.
• Choose the right technology because PowerPoint is never the right choice.
• Use technology because you don’t want the computer to freeze up or anything.
• Bullet your ideas.

Scholarly Journal outline.

Also explaining what I know about technology and how it affects our daily lives. I will also explain why technology is important not only to me but to every other individual around the world.
1ST: Explain my parents use of technology and what they think about it and how it has affected them. What Is their background with technology and how efficient are they with the technology that surrounds them. Of course my parents know about everything but for most applications on the computer they do not know how to use them.
2nd How my brothers and I use the computer. We are all competent on how to use the computer. We are 7 and 4 years apart. We all know how to use them but as we get younger we know more about computers and technological uses than the next. Surprisingly I know the most out of all of us which is not very impressive. We all know the basics and we only know the things we have to know and don’t choose to explore the many applications we can use the computers for.
3rd: Explain using these articles how technology can either further our understanding of the world. We as people have the choice to decide whether we want to learn more about technology or whether we just don’t feel it necessary. Gilly, Mary C., and Valarie A. Zeithaml. "The Elderly Consumer and Adoption of Technologies." Journal of Consumer Research 12.3 (1985): 353-7. Web.

Conclusion: why is this that as the years go by we let technology take advantage of us and let that knowledge pass us by like if it was not important. Why do we need technology and how does it affect the generations over the years.

furlough plus 9,10.

Well on Furlough Day I was feeling sick so sick that I didn’t go out because for some reason I not only felt bad but was in the restroom a lot and in bed for the whole day. I had to find the strength to do this homework because I just didn’t want to work on it. I did manage to watch three movies though while my girlfriend took care of me. We watched: Dance Flick, Next Day Air, and The lake house. All were good movies but I didn’t see them all for the same problem. Now I have to do homework even though I am sick and am taking for ever to do homework with major headache. Over all this is not what I expected for my furlough day. Have to deal with it though. Plus the chapters 9 and 10 were basically what we have been taught to do since we started school. Never take anyone’s work plus we have to be able to communicate whether it is in writing or verbally. Chapter 10 has to do with exercise and maintaining fit in every way possible. I know for myself I don’t take care of myself. I do go work out but it’s hard for me because I can’t do most things. I can’t run or exercise as much because my asthma is high. I do keep happy and do what I can but I never have time for things. I try to eat well but things don’t work out because I am always tired from work and stressed from school. I am getting use to the school routine so it won’t matter for much longer and stress is lessening. Overall I am feeling a lot better.

Outgoing, Hardworking, athletic, and emotional
Anyone who accepts me as family
Family, friends, and succeeding
Tired, happy, somewhat lonely
Sleep, relaxation, and money
Time, care, and anything to help
Losing all those who I care about and being alone and that all
Me graduate, everyone be glad, and succeed at everything I want or at least try to.

Wednesday and weekend.

Well my week was busy and tiring. I did not have time to do anything considering i was working and then i was offered a new and better job at target so that somehow worked out for me. Of course i was packed with work and then did homework little by little while i could. CANT wait for Tuesday when i relax and catch up with work. I think that from the reading there are a lot of situation where i could have spoken more but i was too afraid that people were going to think that i am weird. I could change the habit of making myself organized but i am in a way and if i schedule every hour of the day i know nothing is going to happen how it is suppose to and i know for a fact everyday would be boring for me. The best things happen at spontaneous moments. Oh and i went to the beach really late at night but none the less i did go out.

Tuesday, September 15, 2009

On Monday and today which is Tuesday not much happened just a breakthrough with talking with people. Finally getting settled into school and actually feel good about what is happening. I don't stressed as much and finally a little more relaxed that i cant enjoy school now. I can actually talk without knowing but can never get around to asking their names. I know this yeah is going to be fun and entertaining. Homework is good and need to study for the first test of college. Hope it all goes well. Next goal is to have fun adn go out.

Wednesday Library + little weekend.

Well my weekend was not that bad and what we learned in the lab on Wednesday was very interesting. On my weekend there was a lot of drama with arguments but I started to teach my cousin to drive again. She wants to learn in less than a week and taking her out on Tuesday again. What we learned in the library is going to be very useful because we are now freely navigating the system without ourselves having to search for everything. We know not the whole system because that would have been a crazy Wednesday but we know enough to get the hang of everything. If we want to search and look for scholarly letters then we can just check the box and specify what we want and the search will begin itself. After, we can narrow down the search even more because like every other search engine there is information that doesn’t even relate to your search. Once you have narrowed it down even further the information that you do need come up as your first results. Another interesting website that will help us save time is ref works where it instantly makes bibliographies. This is handy because once we are done we can go to this website and poof out comes a bibliography in whatever format you may set it as. We also found out the difference between e books although they are on the internet still are regular books and do not count as internet sources. Another useful topic that was brought up was the library cards and that if we have a school account and a public account we should merge them or else we would have a lot of problems which i now have to do before I have problems.

Tips and tricks

Homework is not mandatory and neither is outside work but if you choose not to do it you will not benefit anything.

Weekend extrordinair

Last week seemed like it was a relaxing week with work included. Last week was crazy at work on Thursday because there was so many people and only two people making the food which was me and another guy. I don't know how we made it but we did. Friday was boring mostly cleaned my house because my mom is ill and then they called me to go to work on my day off. Saturday and Sunday also worked but went out at the same time. Now writing blog to seem that is more interesting and what i do is somewhat important. I did go bowling and i have been playing games with my girlfriends little bro since we had to take care of him this weekend. No complain and no regrets.

Tip of the Day

When you think things are not going so well for you think again. Never picture your future and let it happen because things are happening for a reason. One can only influence the future and not change it completely.

Unending tuesday

Today was ok but it was missing something that i am not quite so sure what it is. Today was a day of reassurance because i went to see class counselors and now i somewhat have an idea of where i am going.It seems that my new math class is going to be a pain with all of the problems given and so early in the morning. O well have to stick with it and now i am going to have 10 units. Things are starting to look up and trying to get ahead on homework. Miss work though thats why i feel jittery.

The college life.

Well my first week at school was not as I expected at all and I do not know why I was worked up about it. At first it seemed that I was lost but I have had 2 other brothers come before I did and I am use to the campus and where everything was located. I was mostly unsettled because I didn’t recognize anyone that I saw until I finally started seeing some people and felt calm as soon as I started spending time with everyone. I am still a little afraid of what is going to happen with my schedule because I have been trying to get classes and I just don’t want 2 classes because then I cannot get financial aid which I really need. My only worry now is paying on time because I won’t have a heavy work load and if I do then I have something to worry about. The only thing that I can do though is hope for the best. I had fun with a lot of stress and was also able to relax with a little work out.

Tips of the Day

Stay in control because everything will be in your control. If you hesitate you will only make things more difficult.
Be open to ideas and plan ahead for the future even if it is a couple of hours or even minutes.

Relaxing Monday

Today was relaxing and satisfying with no reason what so ever. Monday the worst day because it is the beginning of the week was not as bad as I thought it would be because it felt like a finally adapted and accepted what was happening. Reading the first chapter and prologue of College Success was interesting and reassuring just as my engineering class last week. Everything finally clearing up and it seems that there is less pressure on everyone that I am seeing all of my friends and starting to enjoy school. I met old friends today and new people who are able to express themselves in their own way and have their own approach. This week seems to be the beginning of the real college life now that everything is settling down.
