Blog 16 Pandora and or last.fm what do you like.

To be honest i didn't think any thing like this was on the Internet, then again we are talking about the Internet. the Internet has every thing so how can i be surprise about this. it's Oct. 12, 2009 ( not really), our Descriptive essay is due today. Its a good thing i finished it. I'm so proud of my self another paper that i had to do and i finished it on time. It wont be the greatest paper but its good.
Any way about Pandora.com and Last.fm, hm which one do i like. The first one we learned about was pandora. it lets you set up a play list and just by picking one songs it gives you other artist who are some what the same as the artist you picked. which is great because now i can listen to other artist and see if i like them. the only problem with this web site is that they only give you 40 hours of listening for free every month but after you have used all 40 hours after that you are to pay 0.99 cents for the rest of your listening time. and if you wanted to you can pay i believe $37 a year to listen without having to pay the 0.99 cents each time you were over. i did like this web site more then last.fm but after reading that it was just not for me.Well these two web sites are very cool. If i want to listen to a song all i have to do is either go to one of these web sites. so they both play music. Both you can buy the songs and put them in your ipod.
for last. fm this website actually lets you listen to the song you want to here. not like pandora, it gives you what eversong they have for that artist. which i think its great to listen to the one song i have stuck in my head.

its Oct. 9, 2009 (not really), so i didn't go to class today due to it being my birthday the next day. I know that's no excuse to miss class. Every day in class is very educational. but hey i needed the sleep. I mean i know other people are doing the same thing but having to be a full time mom, full time dad, full time worker, and full time student is very hard. Yes the father of my handsome little boy is around but not as much as i would like him to be. And I'm getting second thoughts on weather er or not it was a good idea to come back to school. I mean i cant just quit my job just to give more time to school, but i also cant live my life being at that job forever. so I'm still not sure if ill be coming back next semester.
about my descriptive paper i think i did good. i think i got the main points about the vlog i was doing.like i said that couver87 went to see the president how exciting. i would like to go see the president but i bet i would be very lazy to get out of the house to see him. unless i paid so much money to see him then that is a different story. I'm very surprise that i got a 38 on my last paper. i actually thought i would get a lower on well if it was grade as 100 being the highest then i pretty sure it was a 70. so I'm hoping this paper is at least better than a 38. but knowing me I'm having my hopes real high that the grade will actually be lower. i should have had my friend or sister read it first before turning it in. then again they wouldn't know what I'm talking about in till they saw the vlog that couver87 made. Ive been meaning to see his other videos, just to see how he changes in each video. to see if he has anything the same from the way he looks to the bed room scenery.

Blog 14: How did you feel about commenting on other ppls blog.

Today is Oct 5, 2009 (it really isnt) and we are to write 100 words on each others blogs. it doesnt matter to whom and then we are to write about this experience.And Well no one left me a comment. I'm guessing its because i talk about nothing. Or its because i make no since. But thats okay. i really wouldnt want anyone to leave me anything unless it is a good comment. I didnt like leaving one either, it just felt werid. I dont know any of my class mates well enuff to actually say anything with out me feeling like an idoit. I bet every one else felt this way as well. well at least i think so. reading on some one else blog made me see that i could have used that or why didnt i think of that. just seeing how i rushed through my blogs and how my classmates took their time doing it and had so much to say. i just read some and i just start to think compare theirs to mine i feel really dumb right now. even at this very moment i feel as if this blog isnt making any sense. but i just have to keep working hard to get the job done.

Blog 13:Describe what you did today?

It is Oct 2, 2009 ( not really), and my group all made it on time to class. which was very awesome to hear. we were to get in groups of two to discusses our essay and do a time line for it. this being our descriptive essay. my partner was Pauline our team leader. very helpful and wonderful person if i might add. at first i was at a blank doing this assignment. i had no idea what we were doing. i didn't know the reason we went to the writing center was to pick the vlog we would be writing about. i felt so dumb but i couldn't let my team leader down so i had to remember the last vlog i saw. and that's how i knew that's the one i had to stick to since it was the one i could remember. besides the one with some krazy little boy and probably his dad helping him record the vlog he made. it was so weird. i didn't get that one at all. doing the time line i some what under stood what ms. Crawford was saying. our essay had to have feeling to it. not like a dumb old essay. but one that you had to describe in full detail of what the host is doing in the vlog. And whats in the back around. we had to make the audience feel as if they were there with him or at least watching the vlog for them selves. Ive never done an essay that we had to watch something and then write about it. well no now I'm lying, for theatre i had to go see leading ladies by ken Ludwig. And i have to write a critic about the production.
the time line was also something new for me to use in order to get the video in every scene. this is a new way to fo an essay well at least for a descriptive essay. im not to sure if i would be doing the time line in the furture but you never know. one day will come and i would have to do another descriptive essay which i dont dout about that. the time line would come in handing for that kind of essay.

Blog12 : write a brief description of the vlog

It is Sept 30, 2009, I'm in my English class waiting for it to begin. I'm taking a nap while I wait. Not a Morning person anymore. Since I don't get out of work in till eleven at night. Class begins, we are now asked to go to the writing center to go on YouTube and look for vlogs. I'm thinking what the hell is a vlog. Then I started watching different vlogs. Each one that i saw i was not too sure what or why we were doing this. I just thought maybe we have to write a blog about it. So I'm just watching any vlog not thinking anything about it. One vlog did get my attention, only because he got to see the president at Arizona state. And of course he was handsome sorry to my boyfriend for saying that. Well this guy never says his name but no one does. I mean I wouldn't either. Well wait if you go to my myspace, facebook, and here i just come right out and put my name on here. His user name is couver87, hes in his room and its may 14, 2009. Hes out of school and has an internship. He doesn't say where. What was really awesome though that he went to see the president on May 13, 2009. I mean who gets the chance like that. Not many i would say.It took him 3 hours just to get though security. He said it was like he was in the airport. Then another two hours to get to his sits. then yet another two hours for the president to come out. and the fact that it was 100 degrees in the stadium. well they are in Arizona when this happen.there was about 7500 people there just to see the president. how great was that to see the president live. Then after that he got boring. He just started talking about movies he really enjoyed watching. Which was Earth and XMen Wolverine. I have never seen the movie Earth but it was a good movie to go see. It was the way of life in the animal kingdom. But I mean all I have to do is change the channel to see animal planet, right. But the XMen movie I had to go see it again the same week i saw this vlog. Well the first time I saw XMen it was poor quality. Oh did I tell you this is his first vlog, but he has many other videos. Other than that that was my vlog which I have to give more feel to it. Bye

blog 11:Relecting on todays you tube video.

i have to say i may sound a little dumb on this blog but its okay because we have our moments of being a little not understanding. its sept. 28, 2009 wow thats a long time ago and im barely wrinting this blog. shame on Iris for letting her team down. we were going to watch a youtube video by Mike wesch in class but there was no audio. so now we were to watch it on our own time. great i dont have anuff time to do hoework and now i have to watch something. i knew i couldnt watch it at work. i would get in trouble to do so. and i dont want that to get written up for it. plus i still wouldnt be able to watch it, the computers at work arent what we say so great. it makes a loud noise while trying to get on the Internet.i tryed to watch it but it was too long. so i told my self ill watch it with my boyfriend. i went over to his house if we can watch it. which we started to, i didnt actaully believe he would sit there with me and watch it. we were watching it for about 30min. and he could tell already know that i was bored. i told him he can leave if he liked he told me no that this video was very interesting, he likes this kind of stuff. i told him really, all he said was you dont understand what there saying do you. i told him nope, i just had that song in my head. i told him well why dont you finish watching it tell me what its about and ill be done. he just said i dont think so this is your school work not mine. he then logged off and we went to his room to sleep before i had to go back to sac to go to my sociology class. so i never got around to finish watching that video.

difference between the fake email and the email etiquette.

So what is the difference between the two emails we did. I am not to sure. They both had to be long. And we had to talk about a bad grade in class. So you tell me whats the difference.
We had two assignments to do in our English class. First one was the fake email to a friend, second was the email etiquette to the teacher. They both had to do with having a bad grade.
The fake email we all had to write on our blogs were to a friend. Which i wrote mine to my baby daddy. I value his opinion higher than any one else's. Which is weird i know. Any who, in the fake email I can act who i am. To be my self. Not to worry how i sound. Of course I do want to make sense and have my spelling right. But it does not have to sound right at all times. The language is also not important. You can say words you would not normally say to a teacher. No one would care.
The other assignment is email etiquette. Which we had to type up on paper. When in the email etiquette i have to sound mature because your writing to a instructor. Make sure my spelling and punctuation is correct. Which we all know i do not pay attention to any of that. And in this you cant just talk like you are friends. You have to get to the point and make sure its understandable. Instructor don't want to get bother by nonsense unless there a really cool teacher who wouldn't mind a chat. But otherwise no. It was hard to do this one. I mean I would feel embarrass if i was actually writing to my instructed to change my grade. I don't think i would do such a thing. So trying to come up with this assignments was new thing for me.
