I forgot to write a blog after class, anyway the final composition was okay in my opinion.
I'm so thankful that my topic that I really wanted to write about was there.
Hopefully, I passed it!
And good luck to everyone with tonight's exam!

11/24/2010
How chill was class? It was definitely slow. We had nothing to do that was due but to study and prepare for our exam. Hopefully, everything goes well and I do good in it. Its been pretty hectic for me with school and work so i barely have the time to study. Wish me luck! Good luck to all of you as well. Till next time bloggers!
Thinking of what to write.
Today's class was alright. I did the same as last class. Worked on our final topics. I don't really know what to write about. Help me? HAHA! Well, I hope you guys are doing good. SHOOT!
Tonight in class we talked about some of the things for our final. I can't wait to start on the final test so I can see what grade I'am getting. This class has taught me ,that how you talk and how you write are not necessarily the same. Oh well to all my fellow classmate's the count down for the final semester is upon us.I would like to say good luck to everybody.
11.24.10
Tonight is going to be a long night for me after this I go straight to work and tomorrow is the beginning of the sales. Anyway, we did a survey about MyGcc and currently I'm working on the topics for the final composition. Hope everyone has a great thanksgiving, don't eat too much!

Good Luck everybody!We did a survey also about mygcc. Goodnight everyone have a safe Thanksgiving enjoy...Don't eat all the turkey.
Gobble, Gobble. Man I hate Turkey meat. I already had Turkey luncheon at work today. I just ate some ham instead of Turkey meat. So tomorrow night, I might just goto Golden Arch for dinner. Oh I forgot, I'm suppose to talk about something about the class. Tonight I took survey on MYGCC Account or something. Also, I looked at the 3 final topics and nothing that comes to my brain. Someting better come in by next Monday. Have a safe Thanksgiving guys.

The semester is almost over... Today, we worked on our final topics for our essays. I really thought the topics they were going to choose were going to be complicated, but I guess not! Good luck to everyone!
112210
I THINK I"M GOING TO FAIL THIS CLASS!!!! lol. Seriously, this topics are giving me a hard time. I need to regroup tonight and put my stuff together. Anyways, class was great tonight. Have a safe night!
November 22, 2010
So, today we were given our 3 topics for our final essay. I tried to start writing but, was not "feeling" the topics. I think the mixture of "Cold" class room and exhaustion from work, is not putting me in the writing mood. Hopefully tonight I will be able to write something down. Until next time. :-D
Goodbye Classmates!
It was a pleasure having you guys as classmtes. Good Luck to you all and I hope we all pass this course!
Happy Early Birthday to Dr. Rivera! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you all.
Happy Early Birthday to Dr. Rivera! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you all.
Almost time D:
Today we worked on our practice topics for the final composition test next monday. And I'm pretty scared. Im getting nervous right now trying to think what to write for the practice topics. But I can't be nervous the day of the test. That's going to make me into panic mode. Haha. Well I'm hoping and praying that I will pass the composition test on monday. Wish me luck! See you on wednesday :D Byeee!
Hard to Breath
Today is the day that we got our title's for the final test. I think that i will be alright in the test but like always, I can't lower my guard until the test is finalized. So I think I'm going to go ahead and use what I wrote about on narrative essay because its my favorite pastime. Also I think i'm going to do the same with the issue on society. Anyways I have one more essay to write out if I do decide to go that way. If I don't, well you could guess that. Okay, I guess that is all that made it hard for me to breath. Take care and drive home safely
The 3 topics
Today's class was alright. We got our 3 topics. I don't know where to start. Well, good luck to everyone on what your going to write about. Good night!
11.22.10
Good Evening!
Tonight we were given our topics for the final composition. I had a major writers' block until I read the last topic. I guess it's because it's something I am very familiar with. Hopefully it's like that during our exam.

11/22/10
Today we were given the 3 potential topics that can be on our final composition. The topics are fairly easy, but for some reason that is what makes it scarier. I guess it's the thought that this is what we've all been working hard for. This is the moment that we have to show what we've learned and apply it to the final composition. That is what makes this whole event horrifying. Anyways, Good luck everybody!
November 22, 2010
We finally got our topics for the final! It's fine, expected a little too much though. G'luck classmates! Countdown to our last day -> 3 meetings to go. YEAH!
11/22/10 Monday
Good evening everyone,Today on EN100W we finally got our three topics that we have to choose for the final exam.We don't know which two is going to come out on the final exam. I wish they would give as two only so that we don't have to stress much. Oh will I hope we all pass..Good luck to all of us..
11/22/2010
So tonight we finally got to see the topic that for our final composition. I pretty nervous. I hope i pass. I am writing an early blog due to the fact that I will be leaving class a bit early tonight. I caught the flu, and I don't feel too well. I will try and sleep it off and hopefully I get better so I can study and prepare for the upcoming exams as soon as possible. Good Luck everyone! till next time

Previous SERT
Dear EN100W Students,
I've been advised by Toni from the English Dept. that the students who passed a previous SERT exam are J.G. and C.U. She will provide me with another update soon.
For those of you have taken the official SERT (not the practice SERT) before, keep in mind that your previous SERT scores are voided if they are more than 2 years old.
Good luck as you continue to prepare for the SERT and final composition exam!
Best regards,
Dr. Rivera

Tonight, We have a visitor and she discussed about our upcoming final essay. Tonight's class was all good. See you next meeting.
Nov 15, 2010
Was late today! Hotels at high occupancy because of two Japanese highs school here on a school trip. So, I was not able to her Dr. Baza-Cruz lecture about the preparation needed for the SERT exam and final essay. Well today assignment was to write an essay on three PROMPT question. I had "major major" writer block I think because it was to "COLD" to think.. :-D Well until next time
11/15 Monday
Today I came to class a little bit early.And Dr.Rivera was explaining to us about the paper #3 PROMPT QUESTIONS.I got to review and look for some idea on the internet.Then Dr. Baza explained to us about our SERT exam and final composition. She made the final paper sound really scary. I wish she give us our topic today so that we can prepare our self on the final.I hope we all pass..Good night everyone..
11.15.10
Today, Dr. Lisa Baza-Cruz had stopped by to do a run through about the finals. Next week we shall be getting our topics. Other than that I just tried to do the prompts, researched a little on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and that is pretty much all that happened tonight, see you guys on Wednesday.
Scared

I do not like what Dr. Baza said. I am not offended but knowing that the topic of the essay is something people generally knows about is scary. I rarely read the news paper, I do not watch the news, and have generally have no idea when it comes to our island. A down side of being ignorant. I am in trouble.
It’s been a really long day for me. So coming to class is always a good, winding down type of feeling. I double checked on my folder making sure I’m not missing any essays, 4 essays w/cover letters check! PDN Editorial check! Self reflection paper check! Done with that, so on with the next. I needed a little more information from Dr.Rivera on the EN100W paper and the 3 prompt questions; I now have a better understanding. Night class, see you all on Wednesday
Monday
Today we had Dr. Baza- Cruz talk about the SERT and final composition. It made me nervous that I might now get a 70% or better. Im hoping though. It's almost the end of school! I really hope I pass all my classes. *fingers crossed* Well hope you all had a good night, see you next class, Byee!
11/15/10
Today Dr. Baza explained to us about our SERT exam and final composition. She made the final paper sound really scary. Anyways, we were given prompt essay questions to write about. This is to help us prepare for our final composition. Hope everyone has a good night!
15Nov10
Today I got off work late, so I ended up being late for class. As I walked in they were already discussing the SERT exam. Hopefully I do well. I've turned in my argumentative essay, just waiting on the revisions. Did some of the online games to practice for the SERT.
November 15, 2010
Hello classmates! I hope everyone had a great weekend. Today a lady came in to talk about our final exams. It made me feel even more anxious for the end of the semester. Although I am confident that I will do well in the writing exam, I hope it meets their expectations! I hope everyone does well on the future exams that are coming our way. We all want to advance to the next level right? Have a great night!
School
Today's class was alright. We had a visitor explain to us about our final exam. Seems pretty scary. Well, school is almost over. Hope everyone here is doing good. I wonder what those 3 topics are going to be?
A Day of Stress
Today we had Dr. Baza-Cruz come in class, she told us what to expect for the SERT and the final composition. Dr. Baza-Cruz said that she would give us three topic for the final and only two out of the three we would be able to pick. Well I'm really nervous and I don't know what to expect but I'm going to study my Ass off. Take Care and drive home safely class.
Man, I thought Dr. Rivera was hard, Dr. Baza is hard-core. She came into our class tonight and talked to us about the cert and the final composition. Now I know for sure, I'm not going to pass this class. Well at least we'll going to see the topics ahead of time. Hopefully I can picked the right one to study for it. Dr. Baza mentioned about cheating. Is bribering legal? Can I bring dozen donuts and offer some to instructor? Anyway, have a safe night.

10Nov10
Today I worked more on my argumentative essay. I find that this essay is the toughest ones of the four. It just takes more time to do more research.
Almost there!
One more month! I just hope I pass this class. All we did today was finalize our essay. The room was really quite as always. All I heard was the printer. I got sick again but it feels good knowing that I can rest tomorrow.
11/10/10
Today I did the revisions on my essay that Dr. Rivera gave me. Thankfully, they were minor errors. I am so relieved that I'm done with all my essays and I don't have to stress about them anymore. Now all I have to worry about is the final composition. I'm confident I'll do well on the SERT test, but I still need to brush up on some of my vocabulary.
11.10.10
Today, I finally got my revisions back. Not much was corrected which is always a plus. Other then that I just did the vocabulary activity online. Oh, I almost forgot I did the cover pages for the essays. Now that's pretty much all I did tonight. Have a great weekend everyone :)
November 10, 2010
Today in class I finally received my revision from Dr. Rivera! I was surprised to find not much corrections made, which means that my grammar and writing is improving. Thank goodness that there's no school tomorrow! I'm sure everybody is happy! I know I am! Spending time with my family and friends and enjoying some good barbecue.

Today's class was very productive, I finished up my argumentative essay on violent games causes violence, and I am very happy with it. It was funny listening to everyone freaking out about the vocabulary words. I tried doing it last week and surprisingly I did fairly well on it. I missed about 3-4 words only. All of that aside, I'm so glad that I'm done with all my essays. Happy belated birthdays Mark and Camarin!!
11/08 Monday
Oh my GOD!This vocabulary words that I see I never heard it in my life.And its driving me crazy.Can wait for this assignment to finish and get over with.Have to go home and relax my brain.Good night everyone.have a safe drive.

A Day in Class
08Nov10
Today I worked on my argumentative essay. I really need to finish since its due today. Mr. Chen was evaluating the class, and heard we did a good job. Happy Birthday to all the November peeps!
First of all, I would like to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO EVERYONE, who either had one or coming up. Tonight I was working on the online vocabulary. I thought it was very easy because I haven't got any problems wrong, but then I found out that I was doing the elementary level questions. Then when I started to doing the right level, I was very shocked that didn't know too many of those words. I'm hoping who ever gives me the cert exam, give me the elementary level vocabulary words. Oh, well have a good night.
Happy Belated to Mark & Camarin (:
November 8,2010
Good evening classmates! Feels good to finish my essay #4. So I moved on to doing the vocabulary building online activity! Boy, was that hard to do. I didn't even know 90% of the words! At least I learned even MORE words that I can hopefully apply in my conversations just to freak people out! Lol! I can't wait to see what the next topic would be! I hope everyone has a great night!

November 3, 2010
I finally finished my argumentative essay about Domestic Violence Against Men. I learned more than I actually expected and my perspective and respect for men have changed. Women aren't appreciative and thankful for having a partner who does nothing to harm then and rather keep them protected from all harm. Please stop all violence and love one another! I hope everyone has a great night! I'm doing my best to finish this blog before the power goes out again!
11032010
Tonight, At last! I finished my fourth essay and send it to Dr. Rivera to review it. Now, its time for me to prepare for the SERT test because when I took the pre-test Dr. Rivera gave us, I FAILED!. Hopefully, this time I will ace the test or...... just pass it:). Have a great weekend guys.
November 03, 2010
So, I was able to finally finish my argumentative essay I just need to have it peer edited and send it off to Dr. Rivera and I'm done. Next week will start work on our "SERT Prep". The SERT is basically a grammar test, hopefully it will be a breeze. Well until next time! Hope everyone has a great weekend. :-D
Finally November
So I need to finish my argumentative essay, and I think I got a topic to write about. Just gotta do the research. Well that's it for today! See you all next week (: Have a great weekend everyone ^^
11.03.10
Tonight is going by slowly. I'm getting over the flu and that's why I wasn't in last class time. Anyway, I've been doing the Vocabulary Building Online Worksheet all class time. Since, I am done with my fourth essay. I just received my revisions for the third essay and the midterm self reflection, which took longer than I had expected. Maybe it didn't go through the first time around. But, I know she had received my fourth essay since I sent them all around the same time. So now I'm just waiting for those revisions. I hope that doesn't need much revisions. Wish me luck!

Blogging time! Today's class felt pretty slow. Do you agree? Haha! I tried working on my argumentative essay, but my brain wasn't working with me. I just ended up researching in what to write about. Haha!

11/01/2010
I just got my revisions for my narrative essay today. I turned in my final revisions to Dr.Rivera. I'm still trying to search for a topic for my argumentative essay. I'm still tired over the weekend I wish we have three day's weekend. I hope you had a good Halloween everyone.
110110

I just got my revisions for my narrative essay today. All I have to do is fix them and turn it in. I'm still trying to search for a topic for my argumentative essay. I'm still so tired from this weekend... Hope everyone had a good Halloween..
11/1/10
Today was a pretty quiet class. Everyone was so intent on their essays. I'm still thinking about my essay topic...so many to choose from but I don't know which one to pick. I'll definitely have one next class meeting. I tried that vocabulary thing that Dr. Rivera gave us, it was really fun.
I am Going to Pick Soon
November 1, 2010
Finally we've reached November! Few more weeks til the end of the semester! So today I started on writing essay #4. My argumentative topic is on Domestic Violence Against Men. I know that there are more reported cases of men against women, but I wanted to do something different and speak up for the men. I know a couple of guys who literally get beaten up by their girlfriends. A lot of people laugh about it and brush it off, but they don't realize that it is wrong on the woman's part and she should be treating men the way she wants to be treated in return! Just a thought for you folks! Have a great day!
Did you get any candy last night?
Who went Trick or Treating last night? I only got 2 Dum Dum Lolly Pops and a small bag of Skittles last night. HAHA. Anyways, how was your day? Mine was alright. I think today went by pretty quick. Earlier today, I just installed my Skunk2 Adjustable Suspension to my car. Today is a test run and I found out that I need to make a little adjustments. Well, today's class was alright. I'm just working on my argumentative essay and that too needs a little adjustments as well. HAHA! To the person who asked, "what car do i drive?" I drive a 98 Civic Hatch :) Thank you, come again!
argumentative eassy
Tonight we talked about what topic to write for our argumentative essay.I have already found a topic to write about .The problem is this topic is very controversial and explaining my argument is'nt going to be easy.Anyways what up with all this rain !
My Day in Class
Today I did a lot of research for my 4th essay. I read up on the thing that I need to form my arguments. Also I looked over to my neighbor and watch her match up synonyms and wrote my subtopics that I am going to argue about. I'm already halfway with my fourth essay. I feel like my essay is going smoothly and I can't wait until I'm finished with it. Well that's all that I did for the night with the exception of writing a blog and responding four other people blogs. Take care and drive to your next destination safely. If you are car rider then ride safe.
