Making the rough draft of the bibliography was not that hard. I thought that making the bibliography was going to be really hard but today we work on the first two paragraphs and that was really easy. As a class we talk about the way we are going to do the bibliography the first paragraph is a short summary of the article in this summary you will explain everything with detail the second paragraph is evaluation just talk about the article if you like it, if is credible, if it had good facts and things in that nature. So we went to the writing center as a class and are assignment for the day was to write both of the two sentence in MLA form we all got two articles and start reading them and making are summary's and are evaluation. Working in the class help me because I was working next to friends and if I needed help I could just ask them. That is what we did in class work on are bibliography by working in the first two paragraphs. Working around the people you know makes everything better and faster. So that was what we did in class just work in the bibliography.

FaceBook and Myspace the two biggest social grids in the world, and wend I say social I mean social. Many of the information you post on the two web sides goes to public. All the people you have as friends can see the information you post about your self, and that is not a good thing some of the times. I learn in the articles that we presented today is that the two web sides can make a pearson act different. Different I mean act as the person you really are or some people transform into the person the web sides make them. In one of the articles it talks about a lady that had to close her FaceBook because she was turning into a nosey person, she was going to all of her friends and looking for the mistakes they makes so she can make fun of them and judge them. FaceBook loses a lot of people but gains more and some of the new members that are not familiar with the web side post some privet information or do a so call quiz that goes on the wall so all your friends can see what you do. Now Myspace has a bigger opportunity to customize your profile and what happened with that is that some of the university's look at the students Myspace to see their life out of the university and if they have pictures of them out partying having a good time can get them kick out of the school. Just because they upload one of the times their where out partying. The two web sides have great ways of communication and things to have fun with but some of thous things can harm your life forever just because you went out one night to have fun. Also the web sides have some games that if you do not pay attention or get really addicted to the game you can get to a point that your buying monopoly money with real money. What I think about both of this web sides is that their are really good to communicate so I just use them for that and that only I do not really upload any pictures or put any time of privet information. So be smart and remember that FaceBook and Myspace are not really your friends so be just be careful on what you put. Also if you have an account in ether of the web side be really careful in the blogs and things you comment on because some times it goes to the wall and you have to deal with the people looking on something you did for your self.

What does Thanksgiving mean to me.

Thanksgiving a large word that for me has lots of meanings. Number one family we all go to my house in Mexico and all my family get together to talk about our individual and different life style. Went my family gets together is a big party full of fun and food for me thanksgiving is a day in which all my family gets together and have a great time. My family lives in different places so we see each other like three times a year and one of thous times is thanksgiving i think is because we all like to eat. Number two we eat a lot in the family but only because we have great cooks in it that have the skills to make like twenty plates of different food that we all enjoy eating. All my aunts know how to cook different things so one makes one style of food and others make different so you will always have something to eat no mater what. So in my house you see people in and out also stooping by to say hi and things like that. You will see people talking and having fun everywhere in the house. Young people playing all different types of games and having fun, adult talking and drinking but not getting drunk. The thing that I love about my family is that no mater what there is never a fight or someone mad we are all happy and and never have problems with each other. I like thanksgiving because I get to see all my family eat a lot and hear the story's that the older family members tell us and make jokes about the past story's they've done. I love to eat and thanksgiving is the day that I can eat everything I want. The third thing I like about thanksgiving is that I do not have to go to work so is like a little vacations which I need because I get tired with all the work and school. Thanksgiving is a day to share with your family and have fun that do not involve religion or anything that is going to make some one in the family be uncountable or feel bad. Having the opportunity to be around my family and eating is all that I ask. Having fun and making sure that my family member are healthy and feel good is all I need to suicide in this life. So thanksgiving is a family day which involves lots of eating and lots of fun, that is what i think about thanksgiving.

The Writing Center like always is the best place to and do essays and work like that. Lately it has been very hard to get an appointment because the final of the semester is close so all the students are trying to catch up with their work to be able to pass classes. So is a challenge to get an appointment at the day and time you want it. Lucky me I got the appointment in a great time and day but i was not ready for it. I forgot about the appointment and never did the roght draft so I consider my self going as not important because I was not going to be able to work on anything. So I was not going to go until my friend told me that in the writing center is a great place to get help to start your essay. The next day I woke up super early and got ready to go to the writing center. So I arive and my tutor was Huns, I had been tutor by him before so I knew what to expect. Huns was very helpful and understanding even thou it seem that he didn't have a clue about myspace or facebook. I told him that about my essay and how I needed to do it so he wrote and outline for me and we both work on the thesis statement. In one shit of paper he wrote the outline in a very self explain way. He number everything step by step and by paragraph. On my thesis statement I was writing it as a story not a paper with lots of helpful information about the two biggest social web sides. He help me work on the body and striation of the short draft we made. The ideas I had to talk about wear only three but the paragraphs had to be long an we wear having trouble add detail to the idea because he did not now a lot about the web sides and I was out of ideas. I had a great experience with the appointment I attend to because my tutor explain everything really good and give me the opportunity to make my essay better. We work in lots of thing in so little time. From now one I know that is better for me to attend to the appointments I make even if am not prepare, because the tutors there are very helpful. So for whoever read this blog and never go to the writing center am going to suggest to all the people to assist and go for all the writing assignment you've have in the future.

Today in class we wear talking about are next assignment that is another essay like always. I do not now way but Mrs. Crawford was telling us that we need to learn how to do are essays in MLA format, from my point of view i though that we all know that but i was wrong. She was telling us about the essay that is a compare and contrast essay of Myspace and Facebook. The worksheet we did was help full because we got to write some facts that I did not know about Myspace or Facebook. Like one special thing that I did not know about Myspace is that you can look for a job in Myspace that is so cool. I also learn that the two web sides have a lot of things in comment. We also learn how to make are essay sound better, and for us to not repeat the idea twise like if you say something about Facebook you do not have to say the other has the same thing just state it at the beginning of the sentence. Make all you points strong and write with detail do not just wrest the things they have in comment and the things they do not. I thing this essay is going to be Farly easy just because I think I know some good things about both of them.

Blog 19 Myspace and Facebook

Myspace and Facebook are two of the biggest social web sides in the world I would say but I do not know if is a fact some of the things that I wold like to talk about Myspace and Facebook is that bouth of them are really help full but also can harm you as well. Let me talk about Myspace. Myspace is a grate said in which you can talk to people meet people and have your own profile. First talk to people I meant sent messages and IM, the messages you send just the person that has access to the profile you send it to can see it also the IM is just for one specific person is just a conversation between to individuals no mare. You can talk about all you want and be insure that if your talking to your friend only he is going to read and now what you telling him. IM works in the same way. The other way of communication in Myspace is by comment on peoples profile. So you have your own profile that if you have not on privet only your friends can see and comment on it. But remember that not all of your friends know what you do and if the comment something you did not want anyone to know about you just got scrud. Because i comment goes in a profile and all the people you have as friends can look at that and read it. Lets say you did something that you do not want your girlfriend to find out and your best friend just comment you and ask you about whatever you did now your girlfriend is going to find out and ask questions about it. So that is one thing that can hurt you if you do not use it properly. Also you friends that you have adept can also see all your pictures and comment on them as well as read them. Your profile Myspace lets you create your profile so people will know what you like you can add pics. videos, quotes, top friends, music, and lots of other things. That is a brief description of Myspace and some of the cool things it has. Now I would like to talk about Facebook.

Facebook is more simple it has some of the same things that Myspace does but they work differently. Facebook has a wall in which all the people in your friend list comment and add the thing they want people to know but also all the things you do in a different side will fallow you with Facebook, lets say you comment a movie and you do not want people to know about what you really think about the movie is going to the wall of Facebook. So in a way you have to be careful with what you do and say. Also it has a way to comment on others profile the only difference is that after like two days the comments go away. The profile so more simpel than Myspace, in Facebook you profile has no music and no background the only things that it has are pictures and information about your self. People can also comment on your pictures and look at the information you post. IMing is good because the person has easy access to you if he/she wants to talk to you and if you do not want to talk to them just do not answer. Maseging is a good way to contact people just send the message and is going to be a conversation of two that is going to be confidential. Also if you are log into Facebook it wont let other know so if you get a message you can answer fast if not important just wait for later or the next day. One thing that I really like is that Facebook will give you some choice of people you might know and you can send a friend request like that. So you can find people that you have not talk in years there. So both of the web sides are good to use they have good things just be careful in how you use it.

Obesity is one of the most popular problems in America and all Brazil. I say Brazil because today in class we wear discussing the obesity in the world and by readying some articles we learn that in Brazil the girls we though wear perfect looking and gorges, but no not all of the girls are in that condition. Most of the girls in Brazil have obesity problems. What we though that was the perfect place to live full of good looking girls in now the please with big girls. Let me explain Obesity a lil. Obesity is based on a persons high and weight you can be full of mussel and be short and you would be consider obis. Also some people are from five to ten pounds over the range and just for that they are consider obis, so is not that big of a difference in some situations but in other the person can be fifty to one hundred pounds over and now you could tell the differences. that is what has happened here in the United States we have some good looking people but also I thing we have to many fast food places and some of the people take advantage of them and avies. So that group of people are the ones that are over weight. The United States has a high percentage number of obesity, and that courses a lot of health problems. As we all know health is a very important thing in this world and obesity manage to make a lot of people be unhealthy. What i do not understand is if you know you are reaching that line of obesity why do you keep on eating the same quantity of food and not go in a diet. Some of the people in America think that they are eating one survey of food wend that are actually eating two. So ass we all know obesity is the biggest problem in the world not including all the rest of the health problems like cancer and things in that nature.

The other article that we wear talking about was bast on servery in the article it stated that now this day you do not have the face your desteny has for you but you have the face you can efort. Now in the 20s century we all know that all of the people most of the artist perform surgery to lift their facet. The reason people do that is because they want to hide their age. I personal thing that age is a form of getting Wise and more knowledge, because only time gives you that. But in the other hand if I lose my hair I wont think twice about getting hair implant, and why is that because i do not want to look that old. The part that I thick is sad is that their are more men than woman getting the surgery's. I though that girls wear more worry about their body and looks that guys. Now I now that guys worry about the look more. In the article it also talk about fitness now in days guy do not go to the gym to be body builders no they go because they want to lose some rascals and look younger. Liposuction is one of the most know surgery's to loos unwanted weight and fatness. people now go in depth just because they want to look good. In my opinion I just want to be happy and am going to wait and see what life has coming for me, like i say the only thing Ill change is my hair but the rest Ill just be happy with it.
