Your Journal- CH. 8

Cheating is something many people are tempted to do everyday in many aspects of life. One situation I could have cheated in high school was in tests. Cheating makes it easy for someone to obtain correct answers from someone with out studying. I could have easily cheated and copied someone on a test one time when I didn't study and would have received a good grade. I decided not to cheat because it was not fair for that person to study all the time and get a good grade versus me not studying, cheating, and receiving the same grade as he did. I felt that I had to own up to my actions and take the test fair and if I got a bad grade then it would be my fault for not preparing correctly.

Sleeping is something I really have a problem with. Most nights I usually sleep very very late no matter how tired I am. If I try to sleep early all I end up doing is rolling around in my bed for hours and get fustrated and hop on the computer. I usually get only 4 hours of sleep every night and I'm not tired during the day and again the next day same routine, can't sleep at night. I need more sleep!!!!

Keeping a healthy diet is a very good thing to do if trying to stay healthy and fit. I don't follow a healthy diet though. I everything, especially alot of fast food. I sometimes eat Costco salads, but I don't think it's healthy when I pour it in ranch. I know i should eat healthier, but it is a hard thing to do when I don't have time to eat at home.

10/07/09 Blog About Video Project

Today in class we learned alot about recording, editing, and uploading videos. The first part is recording the video. Recording is the easiest part, you grab a video camera or any other recording device and record yourself or others in any activity you would like. Then you upload the video into your computer. Once you have completed that, then comes editing. Editing is where one can get creative. You can add music, special effects, titles, endings, remove footoge, and add extra footage. Once you have edited your video, then comes uploading it into the web. The best place to upload your video is Youtube. Once you have your video uploaded on youtube, you share it with millions of viewers and receive many hits and maybe get famous on teh internet.

Your Journal-Ch. 7
Forming study groups is very important in college. The class I think I would befenefit from forming study groups in is my MAS10 A course. The course requires a lot of thinking and analyzing the formation of our Mexican-American culture. By forming study groups, we can hear different points of views and can help us in writting our essays.

Movie Project Ideas

My group and I are creating a movie project for our MUSE class. We are thinking that our movie is going to be about an old man who asks a young, strong guy to help him defeat his great enemy in a battle. As the man explains the battle, he makes it seem as it's going to be a boxing match so the young guy gets all pumped up and wants to battle. The old man trains the young guy day and night, with strong battle like trainings for the big event. On the big day of the battle, the young guy prapares and is ready for the fight. When they both arrive at the battle scene, the young guy quickly realizes that it's not a boxing match he is going to battle in, but just a simple chess match. The young guy flips out in rage and looses the battle.

Know yourself-
I love Halloween and costume parties because you can dress up as anything and play a different role other than yourself for a day. If I was to go to a costume party I would dress up as Hercules or Prince Charming, especially this year because my friends' halloween costume theme this year is Disney. I think I would be a great Prince Charming because of my good looks and charm or a strong Hercules because he is my favorite Disney heroe.

Your Journal -
Reviewing your syllabus when starting a course is very important. Reviewing the syllabus will help you check how much work the class will require, how to pace your readings, and all the ways to be able to reach out and talk to your proffesor when you need help. This will be useful in making sure the class is for you and that you can be able to manage to pass the class.

09/23/09 SJSU Event- "Mexicans in San Jose" authors book explanation and book signing.


One of the SJSU campus events I attended was authors Nannette Regua and Arturo Villareal talk about their book "Mexicans in San Jose". It was very interesting hearing about the motivation they had to write the book. They wanted to write the book because it's one of the only book written about Mexicans in San Jose. The book explains Mexican's first way of living in San Jose, the environment they lived in, and everything regarding the Chicano movement in San Jose.
