Gangnam Style

So I attended the fair and it was a bunch of fun, besides the sororities trying to harass you to join them and then the cheerleaders that want qualified members and such. I wanted to try something new and I did, I signed up for a theater club called te crescents their current project is Rocky Horror which reminds me of Glee!!!! If you know what Glee is, you are Fawesome which in Tye language is forever awesome. Also it surprised me when the Anime club did Gangnam style!!! I thought I was the only one that knew it , haha.

Catchy like the Sun Drop Commercial!

Let's get right to it, one blog that I honestly believe deserves a A is mine of course, My design that I picked for my blog was very eye catching. Oh my language is so elegant and ideas were clearly stated and- Just Kidding! I like my blog and all but anyways, Blogs that I believe deserve A's is a blog named "When in doubt be brave". I like the flow of the writer, It sounds as if she's just regular blogger and not as if she's doing it because it is a assignment. The background is also cute, it's attractive but not too distracting to the point were you won't read her blogs because you're in love with her background. Another blog that peaked my interest was "Don't be delicate be vast and brilliant" Not only was the title catchy but so were the pictures! She has posts about tips and other things that I didn't really catch on to earlier. Her blog is so encouraging and energetic when you read it. One post that stood out to me on the second blog was the one about overcoming her obstacles, which was her trying out for the talent show and she made it, thus having to sing on stage. Now i have to hand it to her she has guts, I thought about getting over my fears and trying out for my H.S talent show, (even though I don't really have a talent) but that was the energy drink talking. I'm glad that both of their blogs has a personal feel to it, yet professional, It was entertaining to read. Everyone's blog has their own pizzazz on it, Some stuck out and some didn't.

SUBMIT TO ME.

The reason why this post is titled "submit to be" because the phrase screams out bow down to me and I'd like to say that I have overcome most of my major obstacles. Thinking back on my life, I'm not sure If anyone else would classify this as obstacles, but I'd say I got over wanting the approval of others, and accepting myself. When I was younger I use to practically depend on other's opinion of me, and whether or not I was wearing the right clothes, saying the right thing, and just having a cautious approach of everything. I was passive, I did not having a mind of my own, just agreeing with what everyone said to make them happy.  What I mean about accepting myself is appreciating the differences that exclude me from some people, physically, musically, and etc. because everyone's not going to like rock music or like my style of clothing or support everything that I do. Even though some of those differences excludes me from some close minded, ignorant people, my friends or other people that I haven't met yet, will accept me for me and decide to at least co exist with me. What changed all of that was high school of course, where everyone found themselves and was proud to be a individual. In high school I realized I had to be independent, care less of what others think and stand up for what I believe in. In college I don't think this will be much of a problem because everything is so diverse here. One obstactle I have yet to overcome is my overpowering shyness, It's really annoying how intimidating I feel large groups of people are, so I usually tend to stay quiet and just sway in the background. I've heard that being introverted probably won't help me in my college experience but I think I'll manage to survive. I hope that college expands my knowledge that I have already gained throughout elementary school and beyond and prepare me for my dream job.

Tips for a nickel :)

The note taking article was really helpful because I didn't know how to take notes. We took notes in class by not having notes for yourself so I really didn't understand why notes were important. Notes are important because they help you recap your last chapter and remember any questions you want to ask for the next class. Another helpful tip is one I did on my own, I printed out each syllabus and put a thumbtack to each of them on my wall so it'll be the first thing I see when I wake up, first walk into my room or just randomly observe my room. Also some info that has stuck with me is our discussion of taking the responsibility to do your work and etc because the teachers won't remind you at the end of the class even though it would be helpful. I have to learn to manage my time better, so far I've been doing okay, i think. I will make sure I keep on the track of my degree I don't want to take classes that I won't need just to try something new, my parent isn't paying for college for me to experiment with different classes. I already knew what I wanted to be since I was younger, I just wish I was already there. Also if I don't understand a class I'll have to learn to ask for help because the teacher doesn't always asks, just assumes that everyone gets it. If I don't ask for help then I'd probably have to repeat the course which will hold me back on getting my requirements for my degree. All the tips I've gotten so far from all my teachers have been helpful in some way, so none of the advice has been not necessary. Now if only I can find a article about how to lessen procrastination.

The door of the unknown.

Now I don't know about you, but for me there is always topics I haven't really cared to learn about or put so much thought into them to learn more about 'em.This topic is about multitasking, the article that intrigued me is here: http://lifehacker.com/5041144/debunking-the-myth-of-multitasking (If you're lazy and don't feel like clicking on the link, don't worry I'm about to summarize it anyways.) This article talks about how multitasking reduces productivity. Now there's two different types of multitasking, (I know,I didn't know that either.) Background multitasking, and Switch
tasking. "Now what's the difference?" you may be asking yourself, an example of background multitasking is when your exercising you watch tv, and an example of switch tasking is having two assignments due tomorrow, and you switch back and forth between both tabs of your browser trying to get information for both while typing them. Well I mostly just use background multitasking because I can't really switch task, I tried watching two different anime at the same time, not side by side but like after one episode of anime 1 i'd watch the next episode of anime 2. After a while I started to get the plots to each separate anime mixed up so I just focused on finishing all the episodes of anime 1. Here's what I think: Just don't do it, I know its easier said than done, but try harder and you're not really finishing the activity any faster than you would have if your full attention was on it. If I would have never had to read this article for my class, this topic would have never came out from behind the door of unknown,I wouldn't have even knew about all of this. I wonder what other topics are back there also.

Meeting Princess Peach

During one of my classes I took interest in one of my teachers, she was sweet and seemed very proper such as Princess Peach from the video game Mario, but unfortunately she's not a blonde.

Professor's name: Ms.Gallo

Questions: 1) To my understanding this course is about improving my writing skills right?

Answer: Yes, this course will better your writing skills, essay formats and basically write on a college student level.

2) Why did you choose to study English back in college?

Answer: It started back in High School, she had awesome teachers in most of her English classes and she loved to read. She also LOVED books, literally! She liked the way they smelled, how the looked and felt. Personally I think books smell like sea water, but hey that's just me.

Stylish Purpose :)

First I just basically googled subjects/topics that would interest me such as animals, I'm a big animal lover. So the blogs that have interested me the most are: http://4theloveofanimals.com/blog/, http://blogs.discovery.com/wall_of_fame/
 and http://www.worldzootoday.com/. The first blog that I have contains information on how to get you and your pet involved in like walking marathons to raise money for sheltered animals! Also since this is my first time actually having a pet, besides goldfish it gives you tips on how your animal can interact with other animals, the city area and even cats. So this blog seems to be really helpful to first time pet owners. The second blog I posted about mainly shows pictures of cute animals, but if you actually click on the 'blogs' section on the website it will direct you to a lot of other blogs concerning animals, and scientific things. The last blog that peaks my interest is basically a news blog about animals, like animals being born, people are bidding to name two baby cougars and animals escaping, so lots of weird stuff. Well my whole life basically evolves around animals and their intriguing aspects, but I also like baking so here's a blog that I thought was interesting also: http://www.thecakeblog.com/. I'm not the best baker in the world so I only know how to make cakes, and cupcakes. I think it's so awesome that people actually take the time to create these beautiful season/holiday themed cupcakes,pies,cakes,brownies and all other pastries that I can't think of momentarily. Here's another blog that also interest me that has neither to do with baking or animals: http://keepitchic.com/2010/07/31/speaking-of-weddings/. I'm not a fashionista or anything like that, but I like to see what different styles there are out there in the world, what would people wear and what I wouldn't wear. Mostly my blog will be about my view on general things, I will try to keep it as...normal? as possible. I kind of like blogging :P


Enjoy a dog pet sitting.
