wk 16: final post of the class
Sadly our journey has ended, it truly makes me upset to have to part from all of you. even though I didn't get to know all of you on a deep level I will miss having to share my thoughts with all f you. It truly was a great treat to be blogging from here. This was definitely a class like no other. It was truly an fantastic pleasure to be given the right to read the work of my peers. I feel like we all where given the opportunity to pour a part of ourselves into our blogs and have them as the cover to the persons we are. I think everyone who was part of the blogging world was tremendously brave because not all people like to have their work published nonetheless have your fellow classmates read it. I honestly loved this class it feels like it went really fast and was too short for all the fun we had. I would like to encourage other students to take Mrs. Crokers 101 hybrid class because it was truly one of the best classes I have ever had in my college career. I will most definitely maintain my blog and become part of the blogging world for years to come. once again thank you to Mrs. Croker for designing this fabulous class and to all of my fellow classmates for sticking through the semester and sharing their work with the world. HAPPY SUMMER EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!

wk 15 blog: what a great time
Thinking back on the last time I had had a great time if any would be difficult. As amazingly approachable and outgoing I may seem I can remember ever having an amazingly great time I mostly enjoyed the experiences life has given me but not a great time. The closest thing I can think of is my outspoken times in Ms. C's English 101 class where I make comments and have people argue my points of view. I can recall the time when I was reading and Darlene continuously laughed and mocked my speech, I found it really immature. However I chose to accuse her of having a small domineer and being a nincompoop, not in those words. She felt embarrassed and out of her element. I found great joy in questioning her capability of being a professional. Continuing with the subject if Darlene, wasn't Miss C.'s comment regarding her awareness of knowing how to spell diarrhea a complete joke. I find Darlene to be a great friend that’s why I am not bothered by the fact that I write about her. Her face, nonetheless, was priceless. I have had a great time in my English 101 class for the time I have been in it.

blog wk 14: Guess Who?
The first person I will describe is the most open and embracing person I know. Her dedication to encourage the less fortunate is modest and unbelievable. Her honesty and good advice is respected and admired by anyone who knows her. Her positive outlook and immense charisma make her smile and glow with radiance. She would be the last person to deny aid to a close friend she reaches and catapults you from the low and depressing oblivion you are at the moment. She is the sweetest and funniest person to have as a mother.
He will never forget a grudge due to his incapability to be human. He has caused more problems to his family than anyone else. When he could help his children amend and become brotherly to one another he encourages conflict and feeds the fire inside of each one of them against the other. He is the cure and the cancer to the resolution of his problems. It is unfortunate that my grandfather has caused a family to divide over an inheritance he has yet to distribute.
My heart beats a thousand miles per hour when I see this person. She has a smile that could light up a room and eyes so big and round you could almost see her soul through them. Her feminine features and hour glass figure could make me faint. Her long hair is like silk with natural shine that makes the sun look dull. The way her voice moves through the air, as if an angel’s throat was place inside of her neck gives me chills that make my knees grow weak. This person has great significance to me which is why I will not give her name.

blog wk 13 REVIEW TIME!!!!!!!!!!!
hello everyone, this weeks assignment asks for us to review what ever subject we wish to review. I am so exited about writing this blog entry because I have so many things I want to review. I guess I will begin by reviewing my favorite band's new album, Light me up, just went on sale this past Tuesday. Their name is The Pretty Reckless and they are a band with a hart and soul of rock legends. The lead singer is non other than notorious celebutant Taylor Momsen who appears to be better know by her choice of outerwear than her vocal talent. The band has a very 90s' rock edge with a more contemporary sound. So far they have tour all across the country and are currently touring world wide to locations such as London and Paris. As of right now my favorite tracks from their album would have to be Since your gone, a song about a break up that gives new meaning to moving on and My medicine a song with hard driven rock tunes and use of vivid descriptions. I encourage everyone to look up The Pretty Reckless and to give their record a chance.
The next subject I would like to review is a member of the fashion world who is turning heads with his chiseled jaw and striking good features and is creating controversy over his gender role. Andrej Pejic has become a fast a fashion icon in his own right. His female facial appearance has made him the go to model and the definition of androgyny. Pejic has walked in both male and female fashion shows for international fashion designer John Paul Gaultier and is now the face of the spring/ summer of 2011 collection of American designer Mark Jacobs. As for Andrej he appears to be very aware that his good looks may only take him so far and that one day he might be out as fast as he was in.

How has Fast Food Nation Changed my life Post #12
We are more than half way through the semester and reading Fast Food Nation has been a very interesting experience to say the least. I believe my appetite for red meat and poultry has changed gradually. Before reading the book I had viewed various videos on the subject and had experimented with eating almost no meat except for fish for over six months. It was a realization of what a big part meat plays in my life. For every five meals my mother made for dinner, four contained meet. I became excluded from a lot of family gatherings because of the rejection my family felt from not eating their food. I made an attempt to return to eating meet and it was far from pretty. Thanks giving came and the turkey was sitting on the table. My mother quickly gave me a strong gaze like, "You better eat some meat or else..." type of look. I cave and ate the sacrificed bird. I vomited throughout the whole week. I had lost the lipids that would digest meat so my body became very strange to consuming such food. I eventually recovered those lipids and was able to continue eating meat as a "social recreation." I became disappointed to having caved so easily into the meat temptation, but I also believe that according to the environment you live in will ultimately determine the success of becoming a vegetarian or a person with low consumtion of meet.

Blog #11 truths and semester news
I am so thankful for all the people who commented on my blog. I have to admit that while numbers 2 through 5 where pretty convincing the truth is, as most of you guessed, number one. Yes, I know how did big clueless mouth me get in an almost fatal car accident. Well I was 9 and truly clueless as far as crossing the street. Moving on, this semester has been a really interesting one. I have to admit I have fallen into old habits such as procrastinating and undermining my homework. I have already kicked into gear my studding and homework routines and even forced myself to place things in better perspective. I have to admit that the biggest awakening this semester has been the choice of teachers. Ms. Croker is a motivational teacher that challenges my intelligence and makes me wanna improve my understanding in the English subject. However my poor research and lack of curiosity made me choose teachers who where no where near the motivation and desire to learn about the subject as I would have hoped. I am now being forced to motivate myself and push for improvement. It is not easy but stopping to think of the ways my life can be affected by the choices I make today makes want to do better. I am working part time as an English tutor to become more independent as far as expenses for school go. I find it sometimes difficult to manage work and homework sometimes, but it is reality and I can't change it. I am however grateful to have a job where my pay is reasonable and the work is also flexible.
This semester will be unforgettable as it is the first semester when I had dropped a class half way through. I was faced with the decision of continuing my Chemistry class and possibly fail or drop it and hope to find a replacement class that I can use to maintain my units and financial aid money. As if the heavens had heard my prayers and a Political science had just fallen from the sky I had found my replacement. I became less panicked, as the idea of being under the required units needed to maintain my job was off my shoulders. This semester is definitely one I will never forget.
