- look for scholarships, and look into loans
- know those terms for payment for credit cards

asking for help
- ask when you need help!
- talk to someone, talk to anyone
-either educational issues like changing majors or to personal issues you can share with families and friends

So in that class day, in class we had interviewed 2 peer mentors ! one was a girl and one was a boy. i don't remember the girls' name but i remember the guy was named matthew. He wants to become a teacher, and he is majoring in english. He said that he had wish he was more involved in school, after him saying that . That makes me want to join a sorority next year because if i don't school would just be a job and it won't be fun. The interviews were recorded on audacity this free recording software. So patrick had interviewed matthew and Jose had interviewed the girl.

So peer mentors get to get first dibs on classes! lucky ass, that makes me want to come a mentor, but there is a whole way of interviews and getting picked and everything. I don't know if i want to do that do because i am not a very patient person when it comes in tutoring people.

don' cheat & procrastinate
- you may pass a test by cramming but at the end that does not benefit you, you won't learn anything
-college is all about studying.studying.studying
- plus you paid too much to just be sitting and learning about nothing

budget your money
- dont be tempted on those credit cards
- don't eat out everyday
- find ways to stretch that dollar

Strive for good grades.
In college you have to earn your grades, unlike high school. You have to work harder.So set goals for yourself, and remember education comes first !



Take advantage of the study resources on campus.
There are so many resources on campus to help you, take advantage of that . Like tutoring places and writing centers on campus.

11/9/09

Get to know your academic adviser

This is who you should go to for help with conflicts in adding or dropping a class. and scheduling classes in the future. They know more then anyone else, and have been around long, so they can help. always ask them questions !

Get involved on campus.

a lot of kids seem to be homesick don't feel like they belong. But away to get over that is to join something ! like a club, sport or sorority or a fraternity . Those are easy ways to learn and make new friends !

There are 3 Patters in the Lecture:

1. Listing: Instructors present all the relevant facts, concepts, and events in simple lists that reflect the order of importance. Signal words include first, second, also, in addition, another, moreover, next, and furthermore.

2. Comparison: These patterns focus on similarities and differences. Signal words include on one hand, similarly, in contrast, but, then either, or, compared to, opposite of, and like.

3. Sequence: Many times instructors will incorporate timelines, chronologies, or procedural steps or stages to show how things are fixed in a certain order. Signal words include first, second, finally, while, now, then, and next.

OH plus , the whole damn class watched my embrassing videos on youtube ! ahhaa dang i just have to volunteer huh? haha it was cool the whole class laughed :]

Wens to the Day

yeee yeee so today in class, again we just shared our thoughts and ideas to professor Dan and Cindy, on our video !
Everyones idea sounds pretty good. So my group the BALLERSS, haha shared our idea and Prof, seems to like it a lot he told us that we should put some crazy tags like CRAZY, LESBIAN, TRANNY, and and crazy other things in our tags to get views haha. yeah our idea for the video is pretty simple, i hope it turns out great, i think we are recording this friday!

Mon to the Day

So today in class, Prof was mostly talking about how to like make sure we are on track!. yeah i really need to start following what is suggested too. So today in class we talking about making sure we talk to our advisors and

Get to know our college catalog.
and picking the right courses.
and choosing our major if we havent chosen one already
Create a Four-or Five-Year plan, which i needa do!
and how to Transfer Credits.

another wensday

So we have decided that for our youtube video competition that I was going to play the fucking tranny!! WHY? and jenny was going to play the boy!well i guess it was because i kinda of came up with the idea that now i needa play the tranny. yeah. i came up with it but bryan came up with the script. but then I don't think we are going to be keeping up with the script, like i feel like we arent gonna stick to the script , like i dont think we will be talking much. But yeah michael is going to record and bryan will edit. i can taste the funniest already. Im pretty excited to go to MLK library to record, i will try my best to play a tranny!! haha

monday

i hate mondays, mondays make me sad. mondays are like the start of the whole week and hella homeworkk. So today class was sad. professor dan announced that he wont be teaching next semester, because of the budgets cuts, i guess they are cutting the communications department or something like that. So Prof said how he doesn't know what to do, because he will loose all the benefits he get from not working at sjsu. That really sucks tho cause alot of my friends wanted to take this class, it so cool and fun, and Prof Dan is a really great person that just really cares and wants everyone to strive for the best. Besides that i dont really remember what else we talked about. but monday was a sad dayy

guideliness

So on mondayyy we had like the 10 guide lines for writing

1. i guess talk about interesting things, catch the viewers attention with something surprising but don't give everything away in the beginning

2.avoid slang and words that the audience might not know! use well known terms

3. when telling a story, you can make corrections on the way

4. use an active voice !

5. don't just rely on the music

6. Tell the story, like how you would tell your friend (in a interesting/exciting way)

7. review your story with a fresh prospective.

8. remember to use nouns and verbs they are way better then just adjectives

9. remember to define details :]

10. screen the complete audio and video story

lOL pick up line. videoo

Plans for the VIDEOO

So guess what? Im gonna Play a fucking tranny in my own video.. well I was the one that came up with it. ahha So like the plan For the video is like a guy and and a girl will go on a date and like the " girl " goes to the bathroom.. aka the boys bathroom! then the guy who is in the date has to go to the bathroom too! so like he goes in the bathroom to use the urinal andd he hears a queerish voice singing and turns and finds out it was his date.. He has no clue his date was a transgender male untill now. he then runs out of the bathroom and resturant and rushes for his car. So jenny is gonna play the boy and im gonna play the girl . haha and i guess michael is gonna use imovie and film it with bryan. I guess its a fair trade?.. since I don't know how to use imovie or film..i'll play a tranny..

Wensday !

Today was pretty fun. Good thing Professor Dan was here. So then guess what they took my advise! So we are gonna make videos and compete for views!! How fun, right? So like in the beginning of the class we were learning about HTML. it was pretty confusing, My mind was wondering off, somewhere else cause I got kinda bored.. and I'm a pretty slow learner! OH in class I kinda noticed how we have a agenda now, I think class will be more organized, and fun! Oh and i can't wait to do the fucking video ! yeee yeee

monday monday.

So monday was sad, cause professor Dan wasn't here! he had a doctors appointment!

So we got to spend the period talking to Cindy our peer mentor. We got to put our input in the class and what was boring and what was cool and what else we should do in class. So I had some input in that, I was the one that said we should make youtube videos and compete for views on Youtube! that would be so funn. We also played a lot of games it was really fun . We played bang haha it was pretty interesting and surprising that many people in the class haven't played it yet.

over all class was pretty fun.

hellaa crazy

Today was fun, since we had 4 tables we all got a topic to talk abot speeches. public speaking, and plagiarism . i learned more about plagiarism, and how there are different kinds. I didn't even freak know that. so yeah but in the beginning of class I kindaaa fell alseep and when i woke up there was fucking drool onmy purse... good game right? hahaha yeah
then i had scociology omgggg i dont understand shit. literally i needa read... a lot.. i am soo laggging in fucking everything hellla bad and shit.
then my friends jesse too me home and he told me they found a body at ED levin park aka park near my house its like a national parkishhh with a man made lake n etc but its like up in the mountains n n land like a perfect place to throw a dead body.. i guess . yeah sn teh weird this is that when i went home i looked it up and guess what they found it on saturday night when my friend took me theire on saturday but during the day . and i swear i had magical spidey sences cause when my friend took me there i had a weird ass vibe like scary feeling. but yeah and plus someone got stab to death infront of jack in the box hella crazy!

chapter 9

Know your self

My writing strengths are pretty low, i usually never make an outline. unless i am told to do so by a teacher. i really need to start doing that. but besides that i do provide evidence for my thesis and i usually follow the directions. But i guess i need to read them more carefully.

Journal

My writing trend is very loud. It's like me, I speak my mind, and I'm just very open and I don't care who reads it. I'm just speaking the truth.

so tired

I was so tired todayyyyy!!, so i went in class and there was like 5 seats at each like grouping in class, i like it like that better , i felt like there was more space to walk around. There was just a slide show today that professor Dan showed us. He told us about one of his students that got a job at dream works, with persistence. Then after class me and a group of students went to a fishbowl class room to talk about informational interviews and internships. I really want an internship i think that would help my career in the future a lot.

Journal

Evaluate on sexual diversity

I have no problems with gay or lesbians, i respect their decisions to live how they want and i believe in gay marriage. I don't understand transvesites tho, but it's not like i do anything to them i just think its odd. But i am open to everything. i used to be really against gay marriages but as i learned more i understood, how people are like this. It's not like they can help how they feel.

Know your self

I spend too much time on the internet , especially on facebook, I think I am like, ADDICTED to it. haha and I spend too much on youtube, myspace. and watching the TV.

I spend very little time on homework, and studying.

I really need to start studying and taking college more seriously. So I really to start studying BAD!!.

I need to block myself from the internet. i am horrible!

and I admit I am a procrastinator...

JOURNAL

The bad habit I need to drop is the internet.. I REALLY, REALLY, need to get off of that.

MLK

The tour was really , really, really cool. Even thought it was all on the computer, I thought it was suppose to be a real tour around the library. haha. so yeah anyways Professor Dan, wasn't there so we had a librarian named Paul show us things on the computers. Everything was on the library's website. I did not even know i was really amazed. So there are databases that we get to use for being a SJSU student. There is all kind of articles , that could be found on the databases. Besides that Paul even showed us this website called refworks. It helps put all out references in order for us like bibliography. That looked like it helped a lot. I know Paul showed us a lot more but i really forgot.

pursuit of happyness

after my ad's birthday we ate cake and watch tv and came across this part of the Pursuit of Happyness. My favorite quote in the movie:

Hey. Don't ever let somebody tell you... You can't do something. Not even me. All right?
You got a dream... You gotta protect it. People can't do somethin' themselves, they wanna tell you you can't do it. If you want somethin', go get it. Period.
