Pandora
Today were experience was fantastic, I learned thing that I had never heard about, like Pandora, and the LastFM I really like the website because have all kind different of music like Mexican, South America, I really like to heard this music because is awesome I create my own stations , with the music that really lie me like Thalia, Paulina Rubia, Shakira, Selena, La Industria Del Amor; Brindis, Ladron, Los Temerarios los Yonics, Los Rehenes Ect, I was really exited I created my account in both web pages and heard the music that I like to heard, my classmates were so excited about it, Maria were singing Wisin and Yandel songs Angel was all surprised, I love that pages I really like to be in my English every single class or sections is different, but funny the teacher is so special and funny I really love her because she is really patient, and she has the power of make us feel confident with her I like to be in her classroom every single day more and more because she tries to balance our time she gave us hard time, but she also give us funny times, like today was experiences I really like it. The differences between those two websites are that Pandora have only limit time and that LastFM has bigger space, and we could listen only to one song all the time, we can paused, and listen one and once against. The songs that I have listened were beautiful, created my own stations where no one can tell me what to do and what to record, the teacher explained us how to create our account, and how to add the different genres of music that like us, how created our station with music that like us only. I would like to be again in the computer lab with Angel, Maria and Moises, because I don’t like to be alone, so I can enjoy the moment. The other thing that I like to share in this vlogs is that I have not more ideas to write I would really like to expand my writing but I have been writing a lot and my mind is tired now, I can not think any more I am about to going sleep so bye.
Conference
Today was experiences where kind of weird because the paper that we are doing now in contrast with the first one is completely different, this was more descript with a lot of more details, Maria started saying her name, what her vlog was about, the feedback that she had received, etc. I really like this kind of activities because the only reason of teacher with this assignment is to try to help us with our paper answering all of our questions about the paper like how to end up? How to make our paper longer, shorter, etc my concern was if was wrong to have our own conclusion and her answer was yes we don’t have to have different conclusion from the video, I was really nervous because I don’t really like to talk, I was almost the last one, like my group is the biggest one, we did not has the same opportunities as the other groups, at the end of class we there were three left Christian Elyse and me, alyse was the last one, I tell the teacher my experience in the writing center how Renato help me to make some corrections to my paper, he also help me to put my paragraphs in order, giving me some advice of one of problems I went to the writing center looking for feedback, but I received a lot of more things like he helped me with my grammar, with the connection of mine ideas, verbs etc. I really like the form that my tutor help me with my paper, Renato is really good tutor, he try to talk to me in Spanish making me to understand that Spanish and English were different they have different structures, different grammar etc. I enjoy a lot more that visit, because the other tutor have a different and quite kind of help, he was weird. The teacher also gave us some of advice with her class and the different kind of assignments that she makes us do. Her class is awesome. I don’t really like to talk in class in front of everybody, but with this teacher is different she give self confidence, and make us feel comfortable.
Writing Center
The experience that we have today was very helpful for both parts because we have the opportunity of see some of our classmates vlogs and comment to them, with this activity we had the opportunity to gave them some advice about their vlogs what we thing about it, and see their structure of writing, how their vlogs are different from our. I decide to comment Angel’s and Maria’s, in the case of Algel he have a good vlog but her writing is most like a text massage, he write with a lot of like, you know and all that kind of steps, I try to give some advice telleing him that he got a making longer because his vlogs were less that the required he does not even get the minimum, so I try to tell him what to do to make it better. In the case of Maria was totally different because her ideas were more connected, more clear with sequence etc, but they both had the same problems, they have to make their writing longer and satisfied the teacher’s necessity. I try to tell her the most as I can, things like are more details to it, be more specific, try to talk more about her different ideas and opinion about the class and the different assignments.
Timeline
Today was experience, were fantastic because we where with a team member and we made a timeline with them, trying to describe our vlog mine was not so easy because I was absent the day before and I did not understand what they were talking about, but after that one of my classmate explain me the main idea of today were assignment, so I got started with the website where I can find the videos, during that class period I were just listening to my other team members and all their different ideas about their vlog, like one of them tell me what his vlog was about, the main idea, and the different background that his essay have , other of my team member told us his video with a lot of details, characteristics, styles, language, background, and culture his vlog was about a girl Vietnamese that want to be a singer, but his voice were not beauty, so he thinks that this girl has not future like a singer that was really funny because we were talking and sharing our different ideas, I really like this class for the reason that all my classmates are different they have different opinions and decisions, in my own opinion my vlog was not really good I did the time line, but was not a really vlog, I invent the vlog because the timeline was required in that class so I can get credit for today was assignment, like I was inventing my own story was easy to get more and more details, my vlog was about I lonely girl who was claiming some of freedom. I felt loss that day I would like to talk about this kind of experiences, because out there are a lot of girls who has the same problems, their parents has been over protected by hers parents having them under their shadow for the rest of their life, sometimes that had happened to me my parents sometime where like that before they do not let me go out with my boyfriend was so disgusting. But the loves for them make us blind, and do not let us do something about it.

My writing process
The writing process that the English teacher is making us to use is very specific, I rally like her style, this class was in the computer lab, we were revising some of the blogs the we have been doing during this period of time, in this period class we have to choose one of the blogs, and describe one of them for our nest writing assignments, the one that I choose was the one of the articles about how people use technology for dating people like those person whose look for their fiancé on the internet, and how some companies have program for those who look for this person, like match.com, harmony.com, etc, were people match the other people with them and start emailing them asking for a date, or some of the time they first try to know the people by chatting with them asking them what are some of their favorite activities, color, places, how is the person of they dreams etc, but in another cases, some of the person, just met them have some relationship with them, if this person have something in common with them, they keep dating, but if does not, they just pick another one from the program, most of the people that I know thing, that those places are just for people who are looking for a pass time like an adventure, and another ones believe in the true love, some other look just for sex, and passion including both man and women, other of the article was about how people was against gay people who like to use the web to find a relationship, I am in disagree with them because in this world everybody is the same, not because they have different preferences them we do, we have to discriminated their origin or customs that was not fair for me the form that they were discriminated as they were something like the flu that we are passing today. In my own opinion that president that was against them was a little bit crazy, because how people can deny, humans for their preferences sexual, that is descanting, I was really upset about it, how can this happen. Naha I am not agree with this kind of situation, that was all about the description of my next writing assignment, that I choose on the computer lab.
First Video
The first video in my English class was awesome, that was called my You tube introduction, this was really something different from what we have been doing in class, because is a writing part where we have to choose one of the blog that we had been working, this video show us how people used you tube like a form of communications, is informing us how you tube has been growing with the time, and this is not because of bigger producers, is for people just like me and you. Is just of linking people, is try to informing us, how the web is helping the world to communicated, one to another, is helping people to express their feelings, show videos, show blogs of their lives, I am agree with this video because the video is doing an information video about how people is using the web to demonstrated things, that maybe they are afraid to do in the real life, in front of their society, I really like how people introduce their selves by the computer, this was surprising how people use the web as a form of communication were the frustration went out, the experience that people have on the web camera is kind of interstice, because the user feel comfortable in front of the camera , like if they were in front of the friend or someone of their family, have never done that before, but I think the people who use this if for a reason, one of them I think the most important of them is lonely, afraid to speak out, people who are scared of society. Those who are really scared of go out, those whose are afraid to let the world know them, they real style of think and live, most of those people who used the camera web, to show the society their real weakness, people who are shy, most of the time people who use this method are young people, fat people, shy people, scared people, and those people who want someone else to know them, like a boy or girl, etc.
