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.

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.

Intro: Mass communications introduction and how technology has changed and advanced throughout the time to the current day. 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.

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.

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.
