Couldn't Make It...

Hey guys, bet your wondering why I didn't make it to class Thuesday. Well the answer to that, is because I wasn't feeling to good. I had a headache and I felt so tired. Also, my body was aching so I called my mom to pick me up early. I took some pain relivers, went to bed, and now I felt a little better. I still have a body ache until now, but its not that bad.

Blogged at 5:32 in the morning.

Hello everyone! I am not too sure if I mention this in my previous blogs, but I have a new job. I work as Front Desk in Royal Orchid. I work during the grave-yard hours. I am currently learning how to adjust to my new sleeping schedule. I worked all of this work. I was not able to do my homeworks for my classes because I was busy going to work, sleeping, and going to school. I know that is no excuse, so I will accept my late reductions in my Moodle.

On Moodle, we learned about contrasting and comparison.

Comparison: Snickers and Crunch are chocolate products.
Contrasting: Antarctica is a cold climate, while Asia is more of a Tropical zone.

No School on Tuesday. Professor Rivera email that we're not going to be in class and we will be taking the test on the following class.

Don't forget to start working on your paper, if you choose that option! :D

Dr. Rivera and classmates,
I have a big question that needs to be answered. On our calendar our 4th test is this Tuesday but we do not have any school so I am looking for clarification. Will the test be given on Thursday instead or do you have another plan?

Thank You!

Moodle time..

I just finished moodling and discussing Chapter 13:Compare and Contrast.
It refreshed my memory of once doing a compare and contrast essay for a class. It was not that easy, due to the fact that I had to determine the main purpose to either inform or persuade.
So I'm glad we're not doing any kind of essay of some sort within each chapter. But hey maybe Dr.Rivera can add that for next semester.

Election day is over and I'm happy that Prop A did not pass and that Obama made history as being the first african american to become president.

Hope everyone had a good day today.
See you all on Tuesday!

The Moodle Session

  Today is the moodle session. I finally get to use my new laptop. The moodle topic is about compare and contrast. This mainly talks about the similarities and differences in things. I feel that when compare and contrast two different things you might find similarities in them. For the moodle we had to talk about these things. We also had to give examples. Comparing and contrasting is good when showing relationships and sequence. The moodle session was quite easy. I felt I really understood the material.

The class

  OnTuesday we basically did classification. We talked and discussed how to establish groups. The example used was a yard sale. We divided the things at a yard sale into groups. We also discussed the test we took. I did awful. I didn't really study well enough to get a good grade. I'm disappointed at myself. Hopefully I do better on the next test. After we discussed the test we did some exercises in the book about establishing groups. It was quite easy because I could do it in my head. The next test is November 16 and I feel thats enough time to get the material down for the test. 

What do you choose?

What do you choose for your final exam? I am glad we have a choice. I just hope that we all do better than our grades that we all have been getting on ours tests.

When doing the tests, just do what you can work well with, do what is comfortable enough for you, most of all, don't think too much it will make your bring jump and jump to another subject (well, my experience).

Good Luck!
