This weekend i revised my paper some. The painting/oil didn't have any background on it so it was really tough. I sent an email to the artist to see what was the meaning of this oiled piece. Some stuff i was able to add was the artist and the year the piece was done. Hopefully she will send back a great reply so that when the final paper is due, i will be able to have the at its best.

This was the week we had to post our papers on blackboard. I been trying to think wat i wanted to write about all week and it finally came to me the day before it was due. Thats' terrible, but i managed to get it done on time and put in good thought about it. Unlike last semester, i feel that i am off to a good start. Other than missing two classes in the last two weeks, i feel that i am goin to do way better than the last semester.

in class we were told to go to a multicultural event. i went to the one where lowery spoke. listenin to him speak made me think about the old days when blacks were seperated from the whites. It made me appreciate today and the path that was set for the future. lowery was one of the best speakers i'v heard in my life and he also kept it humorous.

Changes In 2010

This semester i am going to have to make a big change. Im done with doing homework at the last minute. Today is hopefully the last time i wait until the last day to do my blog. I am going to be on my stuff this semester because academic probation is not going to do it for me. Im way better than that so im going to make this semester my semester and run with it!!

My Last Blog :(

In my last blogging week when we had our meetings with the teacher, I had lots of revising to do. Well it really wasnt a lot, but if i wanted them to be way better then i had to lots of revising. I took time out of other things to revise my projects so that i have the best chance to pass. Since this is my last blog, i want to thank the teacher for pushing me and staying with me by not letting me fall behind and fail. So after this semester with this teacher, i am reading for next semester and i am telling myself not to fall behind again.

This week really went by too fast. It went by too fast because i almost forgot about my paper that i needed to do for English. The only way i remembered was because i thought about Tyler leaving, going back home, so that made me think about the paper. But anyway, i thought i did well on the paper and i am staying on top of my work in this class. I feel that i changed how i do things in this class and i am way happier/satisfied now.

There is a Whole World to Explore

I think that "There is a Whole World to Explore" is a good paper by Pamela Gardner. This paper was kind of long compared to the papers we been writing in class, but it is really an average paper length. I think this paper should get a 5.
The paper was very well written and put together very nice. It came together quite well. I thought it was going to be boring and hard to follow, but it really wasn’t. I usually would stop reading and start skimming through, but this paper kept me reading. It kept me interested and had me wanting to know more about the life in South America (Brazil and Argentina).
As I started to finish the first paragraph, I was really thinking if I was going to finish this paper. As I kept going, she pulled me in more talking about why she wanted to go to another country. She also was saying that it could be a life changing experience. When I heard those words I really keyed in to the paper. She was very specific and descriptive in this paper.
In the paper there were some spots that were not too clear. Maybe that she got too much into details that she lost focus of her main ideas, but it was still straight. I think that may have been her only negative. Well another negative she probably had was a few mechanical errors, but they weren’t really noticeable.
The paper was great overall, but the reason why I gave her a 5 is because it wasn’t superior. It was close, don’t get me wrong.
