October 27, 2010

Class was kind of sort for me on October 27, 2010. I had requested to leave because I was having some car trouble. It was good thing that she granted my request because I got stuck on the pago bay bridge for a long time. I called my father and asked him to bring a battery because the car didn't want to start. He came with the battery and we started it up and drove it home. As soon as I walked in the house and I had to walk right back out because my father had called my cousin and asked him to take a look a the car. We arrived at my cousins' house, my father and my cousin talked about the car. They talked and looked at the car for hours. It was good thing that Dr. Matilda allowed me to leave because we got home about 11:00pm that night. My car is still at my cousins' house up until now. I don't know when it is going to be fixed but i'm hoping before monday so I could attend class.

10/27 Wednesday

Today was not so bad! We went over the Argumentive guide, I started researching on my next essay and I turn in my narrative essay. I haven't found what I'm going to be writing about for my forth essay. I guess that all I have to share with you all today. Enjoy and drive home safely.

27Oct10

Today, we discussed our Argumentative Essay. This one seems pretty tough. I turned in my Narrative Essay today. Hopefully I did that correctly. The online practice for the SERT was pretty interesting. I liked it. Now I need to figure out my topic for my next essay.

10-27-10

Today, I received my essay revisions for my 3rd essay from Dr. Rivera and finished it. Now I'm starting with my 4th essay. This one will be easy. Overall, class was all good.

Blogging

I ordered a motor for my car 12 weeks ago and just picked it up earlier today. I am so happy. HAHA! Today's class was alright. It was really cold. It felt colder then the other class meetings. Now, I'm trying to figure out a topic for our last essay. Help me. HAHA!

The New Essay

Today we discussed the new essay. All I did today is look for the next topic for the essay. I am thinking to mess with the vegetarians or go pro with animal research. Both of them seem fun to write about and they are full of information that can easily be collected

October 27, 2010

So, on to the next essay. Argumentative or Persuasive Essay I have yet to decide what I'm going to write about. But I hope I could find a topic over the weekend, for some reason I have writers block on what I would like to write about. Well until next week.

10/27/10

Class tonight was pretty good. I finally sent Dr. my narrative essay. Hopefully, everything turns out good. Now I have to start on my argumentative essay and I hope I finish it as soon as possible. Wish me luck!

Tonights class was good, I'd say it went by pretty fast. I got the peer edit for my Argumentative Essay. Thanks again, Lesly. so now i just emailed it to Dr.Rivera, I hope it's good or enough information to get my message across to readers. I'll soon find out. Good Night class and I'll see you all next week Monday.

10.27.10

Today, we had discussed the fourth essay which is the argumentative or persuasive essay. I already have my topic. Finished with my first draft as well. I'm just waiting for Dr. Rivera to e-mail me my revisions for our third essay. Good night!

10/27/10

Today we went over persuasive/argumentative essays. I have a lot of topics in mind, it's just a matter of deciding which one I want to write about. Should I write about "Violent video games cause behavior problems" or "Is the media and society concentrating too much on celebrities and the sexual things they do, rather than more important issues like, the war, natural disasters, or illnesses?" Help me decide please!

10/25/10

Today I finished up my narrative essay. Dr. Rivera told me that I forgot to attach my midterm to the email last week, so I need to re-email it back to her when i get home. I really liked my story for my narrative paper. It is a story that I made up and I think that it is pretty interesting. Hopefully, Dr. Rivera thinks so too!

I think tonight is kind of easy day. We read some stuff about argumentative essay and started to work on it. My topic? well I'm going with secondhand smoke. Man, I don't know what would I do, if there's no internet. If people need something, just google it and there you have it. Life's so easy now days. Thought about ordering essays on line, I think it cost like under 30 bucks. But it wont be fair, what am I gonna learn from that. Anyway, have a safe halloween. Don't eat all those candies, bring some to class on Monday.

10/25 Monday

Hello everyone.Today in EN100w11, I just finishED my narrative essay, but I didn't send it yet. I will wait until Wednesday.Then I started my next essay, but dont know what the title will be. I will let you know on Wednesday.Goodnight everybody have a safe drive.

Class was great! we went over our evaluation form/rubric guide. i finished with my arguementative essay last week, but as i was going over it i wasnt that satisfied with the information i gathered, so i redid the essay. all i need is a peer edit so i can email it to Dr.Rivera.

October 25, 2010

Today, I only attend half of the class session, work held me back a little later than usual. But I as able to catch up with the class we were completing our Narrative essays and now I am looking for a topic for my Argumentative essay. Until next time.

Today was not so bad! We went over the rubric guide, I started researching on my essay and I turn in my midterm paper. I haven't found what I'm going to be writing about for my forth essay. I guess that all I have to share with you all today. Enjoy the rest of you day and drive home safely.

Hope

I just caught up with the class. Finally I can try to finish the rest of the of the essay. I hope all of us pass. If not, try taking the placement test again at GCC. A loophole that students figured out instead of retaking the class again.

Man, I didn't know that #3 essay was done today. I need to check the calendar more often. No sweat though, I e-mailed to Dr. Rivera. I hope she likes it. She must have received many essays. She hasn't said anything to me yet whether she received it or not. Probably better off reading mine at home, that way she could fall asleep reading it. I was going to say, have a nice weekend but it's only Monday.

10.25.10

Where did the time go?! One minute I'm just starting on my essay now finishing it up it's almost time to go. Tonight went by super fast to me. I wrote almost two full pages on my argumentative essay, it was pretty easy for me to write. I hope all of you had an easy night like mine. Good Night!

It's Mondaay...

Today we talked about the rubric guide evaluation. I hope all the work I did will pay off in the end of the semester and I will get a passing grade with at least a 4 or better on my paper. I finished my narrative essay, and I just emailed Dr. Rivera my essay. Need to start looking on my next essay topic. Wish me luck! See you all next class, Adios!

Tonight 10-25-11

We discussed about how the rubric guide works. Right now, I'm currently looking online for a good topic for our 4th essay. How about you guys? Do you have a topic already?

oct /25/2010

Tonight in class we talked about rubric guide evaluation .I don't know if I can remember everything we discussed in class, but I'll do my best. I hope all the work ,I did was above a 4 or better.

Just finished doing my mid-term essay. Now it's time for me to relax because that essay gave me a really bad headache :). Have a good weekend guys.

self reflection due

Tonight's class was okay. Our Self Reflection was due so I was working on it the whole time. Then, I had to print it out and send it to Dr. Rivera. That's about it..Oh, and I still need to do my editorial lol. Till next time bloggers!

Today's class was good, I'm finish with all four essays and just emailed the Midterm Self-Reflections essay, so hopefully all goes well. So until our next class be safe everyone and enjoy your week, I know I am.

October 20, 2010

Today, we worked on our "MID TERM". Writing this essay had a great impact on how I thought what a "good essay" really was. In high school I always thought my essays were grade "A" worthy, because I got "A's" in most of them. But, when I started GCC it totally changed my perspective in writing I started to notice my grade "A" essays in high school were "incomplete" essays at GCC. So, I really hope my writing has improved this semester.

I feel sick.

All we did to day is type, type, and type some more. Since I missed the Monday class i had to suffer and do all of self-reflection under a hour. I do not know but I think the keyboard clicking is getting to me too. My heads hurt cause of the sound.

Wacky Wednesdays

Today I am finishing up my midterm and final self reflections. I didn't really know what to do for that essay that's why I didnt finish. I hope that I did it correctly and it's okay. Haha. Well until next time, bye!

10.20.10

Today, I finished up my midterm self reflection. I didn't know how to conclude it but, hopefully I ended it alright. I also sent Dr. Rivera my narrative essay for her revisions. Now hopefully that doesn't need much revisions. Have a good weekend :)

20October2010

Today we did our Midterm Self-Reflection. I hope I did fine because I really put every thought I could think of into that paper. Now say hi to headache. Haha. Have a nice weekend guys. ;)

Btw, MARK. If you're reading this.. SAD DUDE! You missed out. Hahaha.

20Oct10

Once I got into class, I reviewed my Midterm Self-Reflection Essay, fixed whatever error's I could find and sent it to Mrs. Rivera. Out of all things I forgot to change the title, so I had to resend it. Once that was done, I continued working on my Narrative Essay. Hopefully I'm doing this right and finish it on time. Have a good weekend everyone!

Today, I found someone to peer edit my narrative essay. There must be many mistakes. I gave him the paper two hours ago, but haven't got it back yet. It'll be nice if he retypes the whole essay for me. I also e-mailed my mid term paper to Dr. Rivera. I was being very honest. I hope Dr. Rivera sees it and just give me an "A". Lastly, I had to pick a topic for my argumentative essay. Took me whole class time and still haven't come up with one yet. I still have time so I'll do some more research and I'll come up with one. Have a safe weekend!.

midterm self reflection

Tonight we talked about the midterm self reflection and it was due tonight. I've completed the work can't wait to move on to the next assignment. Taking this class has given me a better understanding on improving my typing skills. I 'm not to good in typing ,but as I continue to move forward in this class. I think my typing skills will start to improve.

10/18/10

Today was a good day. Despite having only one hour of sleep, I have decided on a topic to write about for my narrative essay. I haven't written much, but since I know what it is going to be about, it'll be easier to write. I need to do my midterm exam at home tonight so i can turn it in on Wednesday. My birthday is on Thursday, maybe Dr. Rivera will be nice and tell me my present is that I can turn in my midterm on Monday :P Kidding....hehe...if only..

October 18, 2010

Today, was a good day. I was not able to attend last class, I had to attend a "travel fair" for work. So, Dr. Rivera had asked me to write a reflective essay on my experience at the travel fair. It should be an easy essay I found the fair very interesting but, I did hate having to say "Hafa Adai, my name is Claudette and I'm from the Onward Beach Resort" I think I said it over 50 times. We back to EN-100 class was great I had my narrative essay peer edited and sent it off to Dr. Rivera. Now it's time to start on my midterm "Self Reflection" essay. Good luck everyone..

Class was great! enjoyed every second, i guess thats because i was really into my arguementitive essay topic. doing the reseach was very interesting. have a safe nite class and see you all on wednesday.

In Class

In Class my stomach was hurting through out the whole time. I had a surgery and it starting to acting up. Anyways today I started my midterm and reflection paper. I'm just about finished with it to. I hope I could finish the paper because my stomach is starting to hurt really bad, and I don't know what tomorrow bring. Maybe I might asked someone to drop my midterm and reflection paper in. I still think today is a rather good day regardless of all the pain I am in. Well see you all next time. Peace, Love and Joy..

10/18 Monday

Good evening everyone it feels so good to be back in class again.I miss one day last week, don't want anyone to get sick.I feel a little bit better still coughing though.Also, I was able to do free edited on Claudette narrative essay. I gave my narrative essay to her  to do the free edit also.Hopefully I can submit it today before class is over.Have a safe everyone.......

10/18/10

Today was an alright day. I washed my car earlier today. It was so clean and nice. Then is rained! Why does this always happen to me? Haha. Well, today's class was alright. I finally found a topic to write about. The tittle is, "My First Quarter Mile Race." I'm just starting on it. Haha! How was your day, people?

At last! I'm done with my third essay. Tonight, the class was pretty good. Now I can focus on the Mid-Final reflection essay. Hopefully, I can finish it tonight. See you next session.

Maniac Mondays

Tonights class was pretty good. Started on my narrative because I finally thought of a topic. I know, I'm behind but I will definitely catch up this week. Hopefully, I finish it as soon as possible. Until next time bloggers!

18Oct10

I mainly worked on my Midterm Reflection essay today. I'm finding it a little hard to write two pages for the essay. Hopefully I'll finish this by tonight. My third essay is still being worked on. A little nervous about the presentation and SERT exam. Hopefully everything goes well..

18October2010

Class was the same as last week. We continued our 3rd essay and finally I'm done! Midterm essay due on Wednesday guys, don't forget. ;) 'Till then!

10.18.10

Today was a day dedicated to writing our essay again. I made some revisions to mine nothing major though. I also started to write my Mid-Term Self-Reflection I wrote about a page and a half so I'm almost done :)

Tonight, I started to write my midterm self reflection essay. I just followed the instructions from the class blogger. If I didn't lie a little, I would have given myself an"D-". I don't think my essays are interesting. Even I sometimes fall asleep writing about it. I just hope I get at least an "C". Oh and for my third essay, just need to find somebody to peer edit, somebody who will not fall asleep reading.

Hey Hey Classmates (:

So I'm still deciding on what topic to choose from for my narrative essay. Either "Christmas at our house" or "Prom." Hahah what do you guys think? I already started on both but there not complete. I don't know what to choose because I don't think it sounds like a narrative essay. Ahhhhh, HELP MEEE!

Make up blog for missed class

Since I wasn't here last class meeting, I thought about writing a blog just to make up for that. I finally thought of a topic and I hope I pull through it. Tonights class I would just be working on my essay and hopefully get ahead.

Class was great! found a argumentative topic. hope i dont accidentally flip the story into a narrative again. got ahalf page already, so im just gonna email it to Dr.Rivera and see what she thinks. you all have a great weekend and be safe with all this crazy weather.

Today

I tried to finish my third essay so I can email it to Dr. Rivera to revise it. But I cannot do the closing part of my essay. Anyways, I heard from Dr. there is a tropical storm coming in Guam. Just be prepared and be safe out there.

Title

Today in class was pretty alright. We just continued our 3rd essay or for some just finishing their 2nd essay. My topic is "Most Memorable Trip". I have so much to tell but I can't put it in words. Hopefully I can put my awesome trip into black and white. Oh well, I also hope that there's no tropical storm tomorrow! Too much hassle. Have a good weekend guys! See you next week!

Cold, Cold day

Time went by pretty fast today. Im still working on my narrative essay and I hope it is good because I don't think it is. Haha. Well that's it for today. Have a great weekend everyone! See you all next week! (:

My Aching Brains.

Holy, holy, holy

My aching brains. I can't believe that my brains is hurting this much from thinking. Today I tried to finish my third essay but I just couldn't decide what I want to say as my ending. I don't know why I have such a problem staying focus in class. I think it's the sound of the fingers hitting the keyboards that bother me so much. Well I guess that's it for the day.

13Oct10

I almost forgot about the revisions for my second essay. I did all the revisions and sent it to Dr. Rivera. I guess I did pretty good. I was working on my third essay and all of a sudden, there was a glitch! My computer restarted and erased whatever I had. Oh, well..

10.13.10

Today was a day devoted to finish writing my third essay. I kept changing it or I found errors in my essay. I think I'm as comfortable with my essay as I can be. I just need my essay to be peer edited now. Have a great weekend :)

buried in homework

All of us were doing the narrative essay, Dr. mention something about the typhoon, But all I can think of is the school work I have to do and submit. I just hope that typhoon gets stronger and hits Guam so all the class with be canceled and I will have more time for the homework, but that will be selfish. I have to think positive. I have to think that I can finish everything up!We got this Guam! This will be like the Picture!

Tropical STORM!

Doctor says that there might be a tropical storm tonight or tomorrow morning. I hope it doesn't hit Guam. Well, today was a slow day for me. I came in late because I was on Jury Duty. Now I have to get an excuse letter from the court for being late. It's all good though!
Right now, I am still trying to figure out what to write about. Help me. HAHA!

10/13/10

Today was a good day. I got my revisions for my informative essay and only had to correct one thing, which is good. I still have no idea what my narrative essay is going to be about. I have a few ideas in my head so maybe by the next class meeting I would have narrowed it down to one.

Another easy day. I was working on my narrative essay. I was writing about the time I got dropped out from the school. I can't write the reason here, people might get the wrong idea about me. It's confidential between instructor and student and I hope Dr. Rivera doesn't share with others. I wonder if Dr. Rivera reads our blogs?. Well anyhow, have a nice weekend.

narratives

Tonight in class we talked about narrative essay.I don't know what to write, but I'll think of some thing. This writing class is not to bad its actually kind of fun. I just finish my editorial can't wait to start on the other essay.

today

We discussed about narrative essay tonight. I just finished my second essay today. Overall class was good.

10/11 EN100w11

First of all not feeling good and today was a pretty much a slow night.I'm going to ask Dr. Rivera if I could go home early. I just continue my 3rd essay at home I guess. I already choose my own topic since last week almost done.Today we read some narrative essay prompts, so I'll see you all later drive safe.

Oh Mondays..

What happened today is I started on my narrative essay and I'm nearly almost halfway there. Not much of our classmates came to class today. Probably because they thought it was a holiday.
I feel lonely in this side of the classroom. Hahaha sitting all by myself. Lol oh well, its okay. Well that's all for today. See you later folks! (:

11Oct10

Today, I mainly worked on my editorial and deciding what topic to choose for my Narrative essay. I found it a little difficult to write my editorial. I'm so used to describing or telling a story, I almost forgot how to give my opinion. I've completed the editorial and also submitted my second essay. I need to do a couple of touch ups and it should be complete.

rainy day!

Today we had to figure out what our topic will be for our narrative essay. I haven't found a topic yet. This is my third sentence to finishing this blog. Thank you.

10.11.10

Today was a great day!
I finished up my first draft, actually I just added stuff to my draft.
The narrative essay was pretty easy to write since it was something from my point of view.
Hope everyone had it as easy as I did :) Good Luck all!

Since Friday, I've been checking my e-mail hoping, classes will be cancelled for today. I did receive one from my keyboarding class being cancelled but didn't receive one from Dr. Rivera. Today isn't a good day, my whole body's hurting especially my legs. I did two 5k run this weekend and now I'm paying the price. Anyway, tonight I was writing or at least I was trying to write something about the narrative essay. My topic is "school drop out". No, I'm not talking about dropping out of from GCC. Something I experienced a long time ago. Well classmates, hope you all doing well with the essay and see you all on Wednesday.

October 11, 2010

Today, was a cold and rainy day. But, what would you expect! I guess Guam has rainy season all year around instead of seasonally. Well anyways back to EN-100. Class was great, I was able to finish up my narrative essay first draft.  Surprisingly I was able to "flow" better with the narrative essay. Maybe because narrative essays are more about the personal side of the writer. Well until next time :D

Still searching for an arguementive topic. this should be easy, i guess im just making it more complicated then it should be. however, i will have a topic soon and essay four will be done. I really enjoy the writing process and sharing the stories with the exception that i dont have to present it in front of the class. hopefully not, right. ok class its been along monday for me, and this weather calls for chalakilis. i have to find a store that has it. these are the days i wish i would have paid attention to your neighbors cooking. enjoy the weather everyone.

10.06.10

Today our second essay was due along side with our editorials. Also, we started our third essays or at least I did. I finished my first draft, it was pretty easy for me. Hopefully, I don't have to re-do it again. Good Luck to the rest of you guys :)

10/4/10

Today was a great day! I finished up my essay and my editorial with 20 minutes left in class to spare. I had a rough start on my essay, but I was able to finish it up in time so I'm happy. Hopefully when Dr. Rivera makes the corrections there won't be too many. Now on to my third essay.

October 06, 2010

Today, was very slow. I was not able to finish up my "Narrative Essay" I forgot my flashdrive at work. So, instead I read articles and more articles till it was time to go home. I hope to turn in my first draft next class and get it peer edited. Well until next time! Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Tonight's class was productive. I thought I would be behind because I missed last class (due to the flu), but I guess I didn't miss that much. I got to finish up my second essay and sent it to Dr. Rivera for revision. Unfortunately, I have yet to start on my editorial =(. Hopefully, i can still turn it in next class meeting. Till then Bloggers!

Oct 6,2010

Today was alright, I helped one of my classmate's editorial essay which was on same sex marriage and it was hard because that is a hard topic to write about. but it seems as though the class is getting smaller, or maybe their sick or something came up i do not know for sure, but kinda miss thee big class. Anyways I just sent my final draft essay #2 today with my editorial essay about secondhand smoking affects us non-smokers. So i am down to my last essay which is narrative essay and i am going to right about a more sensitive topic about relationships between a male and female. that's all and good night... and kev stop wasting paper!!!! go green dude lol...

Today

Today class was great! just emailed my second essay to Dr.Rivera. thanks again to the guy next to me for the peer edit, alot of correction needed, my fault had little time for computer access at home and i rushed though it with out rereading it. corrections were made thou, so hopefully that essay is finished, i'll soon find out. now i can relax abit and have time to think about my final essay topic. have a great week everyone.

A New Day

Today was a pretty learning full. I learn somethings on the internet, like how they used comma back then. I also edited someone's paper. I hope that I did a good job on it because I don't want to be messing up people. Anyways I need to come up with a topic for my 3rd essay, so I'll see you all later.

Man! you know what I found out? I found out that next Monday's not a holiday. Every where else's off except for GCC. Oh, well. Anyway, tonight's slow easy night. Since I finished with my second essay, I have nothing to do except for woking on my third essay. For the first half an hour, I was thinking about what am I going to write about?. If I write something about me, then it'll be very boring, I don't want Dr. Rivera to fall asleep reading my essay. She'll just give me an "F". Well, it's almost time to go, have a fine weekend everybody.

10/4/10

Whew! Today was a race on finishing up my informative essay. After a week of having only a paragraph, I was able to write up to a page and a half today. Just 2-3 more paragraphs and I'm done! Then I have to stress about the editorial. I don't think I ever worked this hard in class before...

oct 04 2010

Tonight in class we talked the editorial essay we have to write .the topic that Iam writing is about the lack of ambulances on the island. Can't wait to start so many thing to say

04Oct.10

Today I worked on getting information for my second essay. I just found out I don't have to redo my first essay. I forgot my editorial at home, so I guess I'll just finish it later. I don't know whats going to be my third topic, but we'll soon find out.

10.04.10

Today, I finally finished my second essay's draft. I felt like it took forever, anyway I need someone to peer edit it. Then I can e-mail it to Dr. Rivera for her revisions. I hope it doesn't need much revisions. Wish me luck!

October 04, 2010

Today was pretty crazy. I can not believe that people would say things that never came out of my mouth. I mind is kind of spinning out of control right now. Anyways the rest of the day went alright, I finished my final draft for my 2nd essay, and I'm done with my editorial paper. Now I have to read into our next essay (narrative). I think I'm going to have a lot of fun doing research find out what a narrative essay is all about. Well I have a lot of work to do, I'll see you all next time.

Today....

I re-did my whole essay. Because what I'm working this past few weeks is a narrative essay!!!. (I thought we are doing narrative) Anyways is all good because I can use that on our third essay. Overall the class was ok.

today

Two more days till the final essay is due! It is cold and I feel like drinking some HOT CHOCOLATE! Who wants some? Well, today's class felt like last class. We just worked on our drafts. So, how are you guys doing on your drafts? As for me, not good! HAHA! Hasta La Vista baby! -the terminator HAHA!

October 04, 2010

So, today I finished up my informative essay and turned in my editorial. The editorial was rough, to me writing an editorial was a mix or informative and narrative writing styles. It was frustrating! However I'm done and now I get to start on my narrative essay, haven't  decided a topic yet but I have till Wednesday to decided. Well till next time..  

oh no!

The class went over the editorial and our number two essay. But i had to redo my essay about abortion because i was being to opinionated about it. and i had to think up about what to wirte, and i chose to write about the origins of jiu-jitsu. and im stuck on the editorial essay. alright folks till next time.......

What I did in class today was continue working on my expository essay, which is going pretty slow at the moment. I spent too much time on another topic which turned in to a narrative essay instead of the expository essays. But it's ok. It will get done.

Tonight's is an outstanding night. All I have to do is edit what Dr. Rivera made corrections on. After that I'll be able to go home. It's my girl's birthday and got a permission from Dr. Rivera to excuse myself. Well classmates, have a wonderful night.
