Oh Yea

I forgot if anyone does not have family or friends to visit. My house is an open invitation to all. There will be plenty of food.

I am out of recovery and back to work...

Hey everyone if you would like to know ( which you probably don't) I was sick last week and I've been on recovery since then nothing serious, just enough to get me out of class. Well I am back and not so ready to get back to work. So far since all of my essays are done I have been slacking off. Now that the topics are out I can become motivated to pass the final and move on to EN110. Well so far I have been brainstorming a subtopics for each main topic that was given. Hopefully by next week Sunday I have 3 essays down and ready to kick the final essay in the butt on Monday. Well that is all for now. Later and have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Well Well

Hello,
Well we are so close. I am so excited. I am looking forward to having some free time in the evening to start Zhumba again, but it will be short lived. I already started to register for my classes and they fall once again on the same nights as Zhumba. I guess I should start that P90X that has been sitting on my shelf for months then. I am ready for the essays. I feel pretty confident now, but I was a little uncertain last week. I had to make myself focus and relax. I think it has worked. I really hope I am not going to jinx myself after writing this post. I feel I have the worst luck at time. Is everyone going to bring something to eat next week for Dr. Rivera's birthday? I think maybe we should get a list or something together if we want to go ahead with the party. I am always up for some food. I hope everyone has a great Turkey day tommorow speaking of food. Personally I am going to be glad when it is over and done with. When you have to do all the cooking and it is gone and you look at all the dishes in fifteen minutes it is a little nerve wrecking. Good night everyone and be safe.

Evening everyone,
Just finish editing two out of the three FINALS topic. My topic for both is High school and Drinking age. I hope I memorize and pass the essay part of the FINAL. I need to get to studying plus memorizing again. Well, I'm just waiting on one of my good friends to give me a thumps up on the correction I made in my essay. Thanks to her I think my essay is going to be ready for the FINALS, now just to memorize. I hate memorizing.
Well, Have a good night rest for MONDAY'S ESSAY FINAL!
GOOD LUCK!

From my family to yours.

Teenage Dream

Good evening everyone and Happy Pre-Thanksgiving day. I am saying that because I will not see any of you tomorrow (unless we are actually related, in which hello relatives) because I will be spending it with my family and labtop (the labtop is not part of the family anymore but we still welcome him at the house time to time). It's actually my day off tomorrow so it'll be really nice for once to not have school and work. Today we did a student survey about mygcc. I like mygcc, I just feel like it's need to be upgraded. The program reminds me of my mail.com days. I don't know if anyone still remember that site since everyone is so "hot" these days. I am currently doing outlines for the three topics. I find it easier to do an essay with an outline due to it laying down the infrastructure of what I want to write. I wouldn't mind having topics one and two, but topic three is a real thinker. Hopefully we'd get atleast topics one or two to choose from. Thats all for now folks. Shamagloo!

Busy in my Eng Class

Arived in class just about 7:30 before my 8-930pm class start, just enough time to my English class folder and organize it. Right after I did m Eng folder oganizing I did a in class survey that has been pass on to all the students in class. Finaly my 8 till 9 has begun , atleast I do have to worry about being late becuase I am siting here in writting my blog Oh I mean this blog! EVERYONE in class HAPPY THANGING if do not meet up with you tommorro thursday 25th. Oh I almost forgot to mention EAT hardy tommorro, and do not forget Monday.

November 24, 2010

The Final Composition is coming up, so I need to start writing my three essays. Also our exam is coming up, it's so stressing. I hope I pass so I won't have to take this class again. I have to focus on my essays and study harder. Good Luck EveryOne....

Practice for the final composition

This semester is almost with only a few days left I need to at least finish writing all the three essay for next meeting's final composition.

Topics

Did you guys and gals choose a topic. I really like topic three but it is not a guarantee that this topic will be chosen. The other two are good too but topic three is the one I want to write about. Anyhow, I would like to take this time to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and a advanced Happy Holidays to you all. Hope your Holidays are good and wish you all the best of the new year.
peace out

My chosen Topic

My choice of topic will be on Number#1- Discuss your favorite past time, which actuly mean telling one of my most exciting moment before today.

Finals!

Hey everyone,
We just got our final topic, and I'm not as scared as I was before. That's a relief, other than that the only thing I'm afraid or is the SERT! ahhh. Study study study.
I can't believe we only have a week left. Oh Gosh. I hope I pass....

Good luck to everyone.

HP7

Yeah thats right, I watched Harry Potter during the midnight premiere. The movie was awesome but in return I only had 5 hours of sleep. Anything for those mudbloods ey? Well back to today. I really don't know where everyone is right now, but I hope they come by wednesday to know whats up. Dr. Rivera gave us our final three essay topics and I was actually suprised. I was expecting more complex topics that would give me a headache, but i'd take this. It was more general that I think everyone will not have so much of a difficult writing, as to making it great enough to pass the class. I will be working on the three topics these weekend. I really need to start buckling down. Good luck to all of you and may the force be with you. Shamagloo!

Neovember 22, 2010

Today we have to finish our essays. I'm finally done with my free writing essay. I'm worry about the Final Composition. I have to work harder. I also have to study harder if I want to pass my SERT. It's so stressing thinking about it, but I got to have faith if I want to pass this class.

The topics

I am really having a hard time focusing on anything this evening. I dont normally let personal issues affectmy work, but it is overwhelming for me right now. I need to go home and curl up in bed with my husband. My kids are always sleeping when I get home so I cant cuddle with them. I guess I am going to be writing all week. I keep telling myself to focus, but my brain is not listening. Stupid brain. I am ready to get all of this over with so it will be one less thing to worry about.

Final essay

I'm will start writing my final essay. Only three more classes left for this semester, I didn't even notice the days passing by ahaah ^^,

Hello Monday

Hello everyone,
Well we are almost finished with the semester. I am excited because I am ready to start new classes. We got our topic results and I am confident that I will do well. I hope so atleast. I am praying for a better week. Last week was not kind to me at all. I am just very anxious about all the upcoming events. My husband is also waiting to find out if he made his advancement. I pray he did, but they cut advancement rates. I am crossing everything because he has worked so hard for this test. I hope everyone is prepared for the sert and essay. I wish all of you the best of luck.

Last class

Hey everyone I know I didn't attend last class, November 17. It was my sisters birthday and I wanted to celebrate with the family, because we all went out to eat. What happen during class?
Well anyway, I'm here now. =]

Previous SERT

Dear EN100W Students,

I've been advised by Toni from the English Dept. that the students who passed a previous SERT exam are J.G. and C.U.  She will provide me with another update soon.    

For those of you have taken the official SERT (not the practice SERT) before, keep in mind that your previous SERT scores are voided if they are more than 2 years old.

Good luck as you continue to prepare for the SERT and final composition exam!

Best regards,
Dr. Rivera   

Deathly Hallows

My topic titles are usually the ones that are in my head them moment I type my title so that explains that. Today feels empty. I don't know what it is, but it certaintly feels empty. Just doing our En100w prompt essay. These essays topics are pretty difficult, because it's hard to related to one. I hope the final essay topics are easier to relate to, so I can do my research easily. Hope the best luck of to all you guys. I really want to pass this class.

Wednesday

Schools going to end soon and its so stressing. Not much people came in today, I guess, because of the rain. I was absent last class so I was a bit confused with what we were suppose to do, but I'm on track now. I just need to finish my cover pages for my essays and I'm done :)

November 17,2010

I really have to do my Prompt Essay, because I know that I won't have time tomorrow to finish it. I also still have to review for our SERT, I'm so stressed right now. Luckily my Mom bought me a medicine called "Memo Plus", it's a medicine that helps your memory and mind function right, I hope it works. But of course I won't depend on it 100%, I'll try to bring my book at work so I can study.

My fifth essay and the next one

I'm finishing my fifth essay but the next one is kind a hard. The essay about the prompt, I don't really know what to write on that essay.

Sick again....

There must be something brewing in the air again or maybe it's just the weather but my kids & I are sick again. Hating this feeling with finals & the semester coming to an end and I can't help being out again. If someone could keep me updated as to what we are doing I'd greatly appreciate it. Have a good weekend and hope to see you all on Monday.

Where Was I?

Good evening everyone. I apoligize for not making Wednesday classes last week for I was abucted by aliens and had to miss class...not. I had to go to Chamorro Village for some class work. I know it sounded like I skipped class, but I wasn't. I was actually doing some class work inspecting the different food vendors and what not. During the time I was away though, I finished my essay and Krystal just peer edited it. I will be praying and studying for my cert test and hopefully we all pass the final composition and the SERT test. As much as I like seeing all you guys every mondays and wednesday, I want to get my generals out of the way. Generals out equal less stress and more major classes. Thats about it for today. Have a great night and continue working for the starts or the sun or mars or Agat.

YEAH

Well today was an okay day in my favorite class. All we had to do was write another essay to practice for the final SERT that is coming up real soon. But we have done a lot of writing in this class so we all should be ready for that test, but I do have to say there is something about the word TEST that makes me a little nervous. I don't know if that is just me. Over all I think that I am ready so that is all that counts to me. So I will see you guys on Wednesday for another episode of the BLOG.
peace out

FINALS AND SCARED

Tonight I have a massive headache on thinking on what to write. Oh my I'm really scared on what to write. My brain isn't cooperating with me. Its to a point were I'm totally blank and I forgot how to write essays. I feel like I'm back in high school having to take a dual enrollment at U.O.G and had to take the placement test. The description on how we have to choose one topic out of three to write about.
Oh gosh I'm really scared. Even with the Prompt Question that was given tonight for a practice. I'm having a hard time because of my mind is totally blank.
Well, I'm just going to sleep on it so i can have an idea on what to write about.
Wish me LUCK. And GOOD LUCK to you as well.

Countdown

I am glad we are nearing the end of our semester. I have enjoyed the class, but I am ready to move on. I was unaware of a free writing essay. I started the one for tonight and had over a page into my writing and I erased it by accident. I am frustrated now and I do not want to continue tonight. Today has been a grueling day. I am tired and I want to curl up in my bed and disappear for a day. I need a vacation away from reality for just a little while. Has anyone registered for next semester. I am trying to, but I am waiting on my transcripts to come in from Florida. Does anyone have some chocolate? I am hungry and craving a milky way. I suppose I have rambled enough for tonight. I hope everyone does amazing on our upcoming tests.

November 15,2010

Today we have to do another essay, A Prompt Essay about "The Insular Empire". This is hard because I have no idea what to write. I'm not even done with my free writing essay, my mind isn't functioning right, maybe I'm just exhausted from work. Hopefully I'll finish it this Wednesday. And I'll also study for our upcoming SERT Test.

November 15, 2010

After tonight's discussion regarding the final composition and SERT test, I suddenly got a massive headache. I find it difficult to write when given an essay prompt rather picking a topic of choice and writing about it. I'm glad to hear though that we will be given the topics ahead of time so we can do our research on what it is we want to write about. I hope the topics are interesting. I find it easier to write when it is a topic of interest. I want to wish my classmates luck on your final composition as well as your SERT test.

new essay

The new essay is kind of hard for me, because I don't really have any idea the Insular Empire. I've read a blog about it, but it doesn't really give that much information.

Early!!

So to today I went to class early to get my essay done. I won't be showing up for my regular class time due to a car ride situation. But I finished up my essay, so that's great I won't have to worry about that one. Now I just got to focus and prepare for the upcoming final in December. Later guys have a goodnight and I'll be seeing you back in class in regular class hours. Oh hay!

Been out for awhile

Been out for awhile due to medical reason. Looking at you guy's blog's most of you are talking about spelling game, grammar . Don't mind if you gave me a few tip'son how to start it, thank's

Finally

Finally submitted my final draft of my persuasive paper. What a relief now I can breathe a bit before the final essay. Well, tonight I finished my paper then started to work on vocabulary online that was difficult but fun and challenging. Good night see you all Monday.

The weekend!!

The weekend is here for some of us. Oh hay! Time to get stuff done, if I couldn't do it in class. Today all I did was make my cover pages for each of my essays. I just received my last essay, which my argumentative. I'm just going to finish that up when I get home. As I finished my cover pages I continued my work in class by practicing for the SERT. I didn't know how long it takes, but I think I did enough for today. Well have a good weekend everybody, be safe!

Vocabulary Building Online

The Vocabulary is not that hard. The problem is you have sto use ten or more vocabulary word to make a short essay.

It is almost over

What's going on everyone, can you guys believe that the semester is almost over? But I don't really know anyone in this class. I know maybe one or two of the people that are in this class. Oh well there is always next semester. I am going to be sad when the semester is over (laughing). Today I finally got my essay done, now I can just study for the final composition. That is all for today till we meet again on Monday next week.
peace out

Time to hit the books!

Hello c:
As soon as I got inside the classroom, I signed in and Dr. Rivera told me to read what's on the board, and I just found out that we had to do another essay, but our choice. So, I'm doing an expository essay on " Teens and Jobs". I'm just doing research for now so by next class I should be done with it. I just found out more information on the final. (I'm so scared) Gosh, I have this huge feeling I'm going to fail the essay part. Men, I'm so terrified. I'm going to be working my brain to hard.
Now its time to really HIT the books 10times harder.

okay, Have a nice weekend. No classes tomorrow.

Bye bye c:

November 10, 2010

Review Time! We have to study for our upcoming final exam "SERT". I'm scared because I don't feel like I'm ready, but I'll try my best. I'm almost done with my vocabulary activity, so hopefully I will have more time to study for the upcoming exam. I'm also finish with my Persuasive Essay, so that's a good thing. Good luck everyone!

November 10, 2010

This evening I started off class with creating coversheets for my essays. Next, I started on the vocabulary building online activity, and was getting frustrated because I had some many errors. Most of the vocabulary words in this activity I have never even heard before, and to think this is 9th-12th grade games. I'm having difficulty picking a topic for the words I got incorrect, so I decided to take a break and do an entry for my blog this evening. I wonder if anyone has the same problem as me. Good luck to you all!

Today

Today was a really good day. I did some the vocabulary on the grade game website. Some of those words was really hard, and I had to write almost all of it but that's okay. I had lots of fun today! Take care all of you and drive home safely.

Hello Wednesday and Goodbye

Hello,
I had a great week, and I hope everyone else did as well. I got a new baby on Monday. His name is Grunt. We got him from GAIN and I am not sure of what mix he is, but I think he is adorable. They said he was a mix between Shae Pei and some kind of bull dog. I have finished all my papers except our final reflection and I am going to start on it this evening. I also need to make cover sheets for all of my essays. I hope everyone is coming along or finished. I cant wait till next semester. I am ready for new challenges. Good Luck everyone and have a wonderful evening.

It could have been better

Class was alright today. We had to continue with the usual work, our argumentative, blog, and review for the sert test. I felt rushed when Crystal told me the paper was due today. I had help over the weekend with my argumentative essay. I was glad to get that done over the weekend because I took my time in class doing other assignments. All I had to do was get my peer review, revise it, then send it to Dr. Rivera for more revising. Hopefully by tonight I'll be done. Looks like my time's up see you later.

Due.. OMG

Oh my gosh.... I walked in to class tonight and Dr. Rivera asked if I submitted my essay didn't realize that it was due tonight so I continued to work on my essay however I don't feel it's ready for submission. I guess this will be my first essay that I will submit LATE. Like the old saying goes there's a first to everything. On the contrary, I'm hoping to finally pass this class for it is the one class I need to achieve my certificate.

Another cold day in class.

Even if I sat on the end of the row, I was still cold to make it worse I forgot my jacket. I forgot to blog in last class, didn't really do much, because the power went out, although I still checked if we had class and ended up waiting 30 minutes to check if the power would go on. After Dr. Matilda let us go. I'm finally done with my 4th essay so thats out of my way now I have to review for the sert test.

Time Skip

I swear I didn't see you guys last class. Haha. Last class was weird because there was no lights. Kind of creepy since we're in a school and anything goes. Well just been writing my last essay then off to review and study for the SERT test. I really hope to pass the final essay and the SERT test. I'm kind of scared but who isn't. Well the people who are not taking the test are not scared but that's not the point. Wish best of luck to all of you out there. Peace 2

October 08, 2010

Today we just have to continue our Persuasive Essay. I just finish mailing mine to Dr. Matilda Rivera. I'm kind a scared for our SERT because I fell like I'm not ready yet, but I'll try my best to review and hopefully past. Maybe I'll start reviewing next week.

November 8, 2010

I'm sorry I missed class last Monday because I was out sick. Thanks Crystal for doing a peer review for my fourth essay. Unfortunately due to the island wide power outage we were unable to have class last Wednesday. I wasn't sure if it was indeed islandwide, but when I passed the campus it was dark, so I just turned around and went back home. Thank goodness I was able to forward my fourth essay to Dr. Rivera this evening for final review. I sure hope I get a good feedback on my final essay. I hope all of you are doing well.

fourth essay

I finally finished my fourth essay. It took me about 5 hours to finish my essay yesterday, but I think it's still kind a short. It's only a three page essay because my topic is kind a hard.

Hello c:

Hi!
Well, it's only 7:55p.m. I know, early right? ah aha. Well there's about 6 people including me right now. Well lets get down to business, I just emailed my essay I'm just waiting for it to be check by Dr. Rivera. I have nothing else to do but to wait, because I already finish with the vocabulary building activity and the one or two paragraph for the mistake that we had.

Okay, see you guys on Monday next week.
Bye c:






8:32pm
I received essay by Dr. Rivera and I just turned it in. I'm done for the night. ah aha.
I just need to study for the SERT!

Bye, again. c:

Power Outage

On this day we stayed in class for thirty minutes. We chatted with one another and left when it hit 8:00.

oh my goodness

I'm doing my essay toady because I didn't work on it last meeting because of the black out. T.T
now I'm having a problem on what to write on my essay I'm running out of idea after writing three pages. ugu...............

early class

Hey, I attend the early class yesterday, at first it was peaceful everything was going so well, but then the crazy power and glitches started happening which made the class more difficult to handle for most of us, as for me not really I didn't get to post my blog so that was just the meaningless part, but other than that the other pretty seem to have it hard on them because some was working on their fourth essay. Well, atleast you section 13(our class) didn't have class, but all is well. Anyways, during class I did the Vocabulary Building Online Activity, it was pretty much okay I knew majority of the words, and I also finished with the one or two parragraph for the misspelled words, surprisingly I only got 4 mistake out of the four levels that we had to do. [It was actually 6 but 2 words were the same so I counted them as one.]Crazy Vocab words were confusing, but I get it now. Well other than that, I'm just wait for my fourth essay to be done peer reviewing. "Rod if your done doing my peer review on my essay just put inside my folder. Okay? Thanks." And by the way" Tarryn your essay I finished peer reviewing your essay its inside your folder. I wish I had a Wii Fit, I always wanted one, hopefully for Christmas."


Bye everyone have a safe weekend.

Finished my vocabuary paper.

I am finished with my vocabulary paper. I feel smarter already. The words on there are kind of tricky. I enjoyed the practice. I feel like I have increased my word bank. I had an extremely productive day at home. I cleaned, moved furniture around, and laundry. I think I will go to K-Mart when I leave here. I want to see if there are any sales. I hope everyone is coming along with their essays. I wish everyone good luck.

Monday

Today, I worked on my 4th essay, I was absent last class so I only got to work on it now. I'm so glad I'm almost done and class is going to end, because I have a huge headache. I sat on the corner where it wasn't cold and I guess I'll be sitting at this spot from now on, I feel more comfortable and makes me concentrate on my paper more. This class is so cold thats why even with my jacket on. Anyways, thats all for today. Take care everyone, goodnight..

Very Good Night.

Good evening. Today was pretty straightforward, work on our argumentative essay. Still working on mine, hopefully getting it done by next week. I see there's not a lot of us today thinking there's no school today. It's not highschool guys. I do wish there wasn't any school today like the old days of highschool and middleschool and elementary school, but that's the part of growing up. I also got my revisions today for my last essay so I'm still doing that. Other than that, I'm having a really great night. Hope you guys drive safe and have a great Halloween....next year.

Hey everyone,
I started working on my vocabulary, at first my brain wasn't working properly but after the just reading and looking at the vocabulary it came to me. Well, besides that the classroom is still cold, even though I'm wearing a jacket and jeans. It's so freezing.
Back to my essay, I'm just waiting for Rod to do the peer review. So I can send it.

(ugh, my head it hurting.) I'll end it here.
Good night everyone.
Wednesday we will find out who is our new governor.

Not productive at all...

So I don't know if I have recovered from the weekend but I still feel tired. At the moment I have not done anything. Assignment is continue our 4th essay and do our vocabulary words. All I could do is continue to brainstorm for a topic and write my blog. I decided to wait until I get home and start. I'm not feeling too productive tonight. So I guess I to put comments on my class blogs. Well later and have a good night.

November 01,2010

Today we have to continue our Narrative Essay, I was done with mine ever since last week. I didn't attend class last meeting, that's why I"m kind a lost. But I try to catch up. I already have my topic for my Persuasive Essay, I choose to write about smoking. I might start with my paper this weekend or Wednesday if I have time.

11/1/10

I finished my third essay, but i feel so tired maybe it because of the heat.
I'm gonna start my fourth essay today if I could find the right topic.
