So today in class we went over meta tags and html. Also we got into groups for our video project. Our video can be about anything. It should be at least 30seconds to 3 minutes long. We will then post it on Youtube and compete for the most views. The ideas of videos we came up with is having a rivial boxing match with an interesting twist at the end. We also brainstormed a 2 on 2 basketball rivial game too. We are still in the cooking process of finding what our video should be based on. I think we should do something that draws attention and keeps the viewer interested. Maybe something funny or action.
My day went okay. In LLD1 class we went over essay stuff and got new vocab homework. Next in math class we went over the homework which i thought my professor didnt teach that well. So in class that day we had a lot of questions. Also we have a exam2 on Monday. I really need to study and do well on that exam to get my grade up. In muse class went went over our video project and prof. Dan went over meta tags and htmls. After class i went to work out and ran 2 miles. Then went home to pick up my brother and then went to his bball practice. Then the rest of the time i studied and relaxed.

Chapter 9 Express Yourself
Where i stand right now:
-I seek criticism from other people to improve the quality of my work.
-I can design and execute projects involving research.
-I pursue opportunities to practice effective communication skills.
This chapter is about different ways of communicating. You need to know your goals. Most of the chapter talks about writing. It says to brainstorm, ask questions, free write , and do research when choosing a topic. Have a thesis and gather sources. Organize by making a outline and make a rough draft. Make sure you have people revise and check it over many times. Another topic this chapter discusses is speaking and speech skills.
Review Questions:
1. A couple of ways that good writing and speaking skills can improve your job performance is when in an interview you will be able to speak to your boss with no fear and confidence. Also good writing reflects on your education and most employers want employees that have been educated.
2. The thesis statement is the topic on which you agree or disagree on and it is what your essay or paper is about.
3. It is important because it states your opinion or side that you are on and you are suppose to reflect off this.
4. Students should avoid plagiarism because using work that other people published is like stealing from them. You also don't learn about what you are studying or researching. To make sure you don't plagiarize look at many different references and take notes. Then combine it in your own words.
5. Some typical problems you might face in giving formal speeches is stuttering, shaking, loss of memory, sweat, and other signs of nervousness. You can overcome them by knowing what you are talking about. Be very familiar with what you are trying to get across. Pretend that everyone is your friends.
6. Some ways to recover from disappointing performances in communication to learn from your mistakes. If you never make mistakes how will you ever learn to be better.
Know Yourself
What are my writing strengths: making a web, getting ideas down
What do you need to improve: quoting author, giving credit, staying on topic, grammer, sentence structure, puctuation, organization, and repeating words.
IS this pattern typical of your writing projects? yes
What strategies will help you improve? going to the LDC, reading study writing, and going to my professor for help
Would it beuseful to consult with the campus writing center: YES
Your Journal
REFLECT on a bad speech:
the speech was unsatisfying when the speaker started rambling and stayed in monotone voice.
The speaker never made any attempt to correct the failing outcome during the speech.
I feel sorry for the person because everyone was laughing or sleeping during the speech.
Advice i would give is know more about the topic, get the class involved, ask quesitons, make people think, and dont use monotone voice.

Muse Workshop "Are you hitting the goal mark"
Today Monday September 21,2009 at 1:30pm I attended my first Muse Workshop in Clark hall. The room that we were suppose to be in had another workshop in there and they said they are going to be longer than expected so we went in to the "C" room near the entrance of Clark Hall. There was a lot of students that wanted to sit in this workshop, about 30 or so and the room was packed. Most of the students had to sit on the floor including me. Our instructors were Rich and Jen which are both counselors. The topic that we investigated was goals. We were expected to participate a lot. Some of the questions that were discussed were: What is your goal? What is a goal to you? What are some goals you achieved? failed? How did you achieve the goal? How did it make you feel? What motivate you? Lots of these questions we discussed as a group or with a partner. I also learned an acronym called SMART meaning Specific Measurable Action oriented Realistic Timely. This is used in choosing your goal.

Chapter 2 Master Communication Skills and Build Relationships
These are the areas i believe i am strong in:
-I am a good listener
-I get along with my instructors,
-i have one or more good friends
-I have good relationships with my family
-I get along well with people from other cultural and ethnic groups
Chapter 2 is about communication skills and having good relationships. You should develop great listening skills and avoid too much talking. Use your good communication skills to solve problems and gain new relationships with friends and professors. The diversity of college is way different from high school, so respect other people's styles and traditions.
Review Questions:
1. Strategy: make good eye contact Situation: talking to your professor
Strategy: Do not make excessive body movements and have good body language. Situation: talking to a friend
2. A conflict I'm dealing with now is trying to maintain good grades, do homework, have fun in extra activities, and relax. I need to concentrate and try not to procrastinate. Do not fall behind and if you are struggling, get help as soon as possible to solve the problem.
3. Issue that may occur are less time to study and do homework. More time dealing with family or significant other. Try to prevent this from happening in the first place, but now you will need to divide your time wisely.
4. If you are lonely: get involved with student events or activities, talk to someone like a friend, family member, or mentor.
5. The diversity i encounter at school is quite overwhelming.

In my leisure time i like to do the same, but also i like to play basketball, golf, video games, watch tv, sleep, go fishing, hangout with friends or family, or just explore new places. My hobbies are the same. i will just be repeating myself. The link between my hobbies, activites and my major would be they are all stuff i like to do. I believe engineering or something to do with cars would be my major because I like to design, create, or be involved in things.

Today i decide to ride my motorcycle to school because i finally added it to my parking permit. The bad part about riding to school today was it is really cold in the morning cause i have a 730am class and also i have alot of stuff to carry in my backpack. My back was killing me today. What crushed my today was my results of my Math19 Exam 1. I failed it!!! Now i really got to study extra hard and find tutors or study groups. In our Mcom class today we went over our Scavenger Hunt and went over some other important info. After class today i worked out with my friends. This was the longest time i have ever stayed at school, from 730am-630pm. What a long day. Im tired! later guys

Monday 9/14/09 4th week of college
Starting with my weekend, On Saturday i had this speed reading class at sjsu that my mom signed me up for. It was pretty good because i actually learned how to read quicker and have a better comprehension. But from the beginning of the day i already had a bad feeling something bad was going to happen. The weather was weird; overcast, hot, muggy, looked like it was going to rain and i was in a weird mood. And in my speed reading class someone had a seizure. It was the craziess and scariest moments in my life. I never witnessed a seisure before. Well after class, my friend Justin and I went to the SJSU vs Utah football game. It was our first every college football game. It was pretty sickk. We didnt stay the whole game but we witnessed 3 fights and lots of other random stuff. On Sunday I had speed reading class again. The bad part about this class is that it is in the middle of the day. Today was normal as usually. Im am going to end here because i need to start my hw.

Exploring the SJSU MLK library
On Wednesday September 9, 2009 my Muse class met in the MLK library to learn more about the resources that are avaliable to us. Actually i never new that the library had so many different rooms that can be used as classrooms, like the one that we were in. The librarian taught us mainly a lot of things that the www.sjlibrary.org can provide us with. I learned that if we already have a sjlibrary card, we should try to combine our SJSU ID and SJ public library card ID because there are benefits that sjsu students can get than just the normal library card can get. On the library website you can look up your librarian of your major and text or instant message them too. There are also many online articles and datebases that can be used, but be carefull about outdated online resources, that is why going to the library in person and looking there text is better. Looking up the book that you want is also avalible online to; you can check when it will should be back on the shelve or reserve it. The sjlibrary website can get pretty confusing to use, so get familar with it by using it a lot.

09/09/09 Wednesday 3rd wek of sjsu.
Today was an meet new people day for me. It was hard for me to wake up for my 730am class, but i pushed myself out of bed and made it to school. LLD1 class today was kinda boring, i was falling asleep in class. It was hard for me to stay awake. After class, i stayed in Clark Hall and studied and did my hw with Alex. After that i went to my Math19 class. Got back my quiz that i didnt want to see because that quiz was so wack. Then went to my Muse class, which we met in the library to learn about the features of the new MLK library. After class i went to meet the person in charge of the Spartan Daily. I was interested in being a photographer. Then i went to work out in the fitness center. I ran 3miles and lifted weights for about an hour. Went home and picked up my bro. Then went back to sjsu with Loc and Justin for the AFE engineering social. We had free pizza and i met alot of new people. It was fun.

Most of these values ive learned from my elders, parents, and mentors. I thought about each of these values not as much as i should of and they mean a lot to me. I believe i am not truely living up to these values, i can do way better. Yes, i dont believe that they reflect on who you are because these are your values.
The changes that have taken place every since i started college is that ive been spending a lot more $$ on books, gas, etc for college. Ive also have been reading and studying a lot more than normal. I've been trying to get help by going to the tutors at LARC. College is nice because you can do whatever you want and they have pretty much everything on campus for you to enjoy college life and have fun. The most stressful experience ive had in college is just staying on top of my studying and hw. What makes it stressfull, is that there is no one that will hold your hand and take you there. You are on your own. After a while you get used to it and find a way to get organized. If this bother me later on just relax and adjust to it.
