last blog

I still remember at he begining of the year when I saw the assignment that said “make your own blogs.” I did not like that idea because I knew right then that this class was going to be a lot of work. turns out it was, and on top of that I still had to do blogging every week. It sucked because it was just like having extra homework. The good thing is that we did have a week to do each one. So even though I didn’t really enjoy it, I guess it wasn’t that bad. Since I had to read other people’s blogs, I was able to see all the different things that people wrote. Overall I did enjoy reading different blog and being able to see what other people had the same opinion as me about certain subjects. However, I don’t think that I will continue my blog later in the future. I will most likely just delete it or forget about it. But it was a good experience. I guess I will just see everyone from class around school.

blog 15

According to the video schools are feeding really bad food to kids while spending less than a dollar in most schools and in some even as low as 56cents. The government isn’t doing anything about it either or the USDA; they just get the cheaper stuff. Some things that were impressive were that Ann Cooper has classes for both gardening and cooking, plus they use what they grow in the cafeteria. Also that she put in salads bars in some schools to make in healthier for kids. I think I might be able to use this in my paper since it has to do with children and unhealthy foods. Over all I thought the video was very informative and interesting.

who doesnt love Family Guy!!

We all love a good laugh at times right? Well I know of a show that can make anyone laugh no matter what. The show Family Guy may not be an appropriate show for young kids to watch, but it will make older people laugh with its creativity of the different characters and the way they act.
The show has a very uncommon group of characters that keep you interested. The 6 main characters in the family are the “Fat man” Peter, the wife Lois, Meg would be the most hated of the family, she’s the daughter, Chris is the older son, Stewie, who is the talking baby, and the talking dog Brian, who somehow everyone understands.
Even though the show might not be a totally innocent show, it does offer some great laughs. Peter being the main character, I believe, would be the funniest in the way that he cracks jokes throughout the show and does really awkward things, like acts really stupid, talks bad to his daughter, falls and cries for minutes nonstop, randomly gets in fight with this giant chicken and plenty of random things. Lois, I think is one of the least funny people in the show, she just acts like a mom in an irresponsible/funny way. Meg is one funny character in the way that pretty much every person hates her and makes her life a living hell. For example, her dad treats her bad, farts in her face. Chris would be another character that’s hilarious because he is really slow and well dumb. But manages to make everything funny like that fact that he’s scared of an evil monkey in his closet and no one believes him. Stewie I would say everyone who watches the show loves, although he is just the baby he is the one that the show would most like focus in since he is always trying to kill his mom, he’s the only one that is understood by the dog, he is shaped really differently, and no matter what he has never grown up an inch or aged a bit since the show began. The only one remaining is the dog, he makes up in the show for being a dog in the first place who can talk and is understood by everyone, he can drive, and also he’s a drinker.
All in all, if you are tired and are looking for something to make you feel better, Family Guy is the show to watch. It will make you laugh way more than once throughout the show because of the way the characters act. So if you haven’t yet, I recommend you watch family guy.

reading FFN

Reading the book Fast Food Nation put a lot more thoughts into my head about fast food. After reading over it I was shocked to read about all the different and nasty things that happen with the sanitation of the meat. I did not know that rats fall into the meat that I eat. I also did not know that when I eat a burger I have a high risk of becoming sick because of the way that the cattle are kept. Ever since I started reading the book I have also looked closer at all the advertising that the fast food restaurants have. And I noticed that things like that do get people addicted to it. For example, I find myself becoming too lazy to make a meal, or too impatient to wait for food to be cooked so when I see a commercial on McDonalds I jump up and get myself a burger. I think that every time I am in a fast food restaurant now I will start to think of all the different things that happen to the meat before it gets into the food that I order. Hopefully reading this book will now help me have a better reason to stay away from fast food places and just wait for home cooked meals to be made.

Fun at OC

The truth from last week was that I have a 3yr old niece.
For the most part my classes are going by somewhat fast. Some times I feel like I can’t stand being in them other times it feels like a good day. Well to start with my Physical education class is one that I look into the most at times. Its one of those classes that you know will get you up and pumped up in the morning time. Weird enough I found it as a morning class which I like because I know that I wouldn’t want to work out in the afternoon. Anyway the good thing about this is that I don’t have a next class until an hour later, which gives me time to get home and shower. My history class is one of those classes that are really quiet and you can easily fall asleep to the teacher talking. I mean I like that we get to learn many things but sometimes if you don’t have a good sleep then that class will be the perfect lullaby.
Unlike P.E. math class is a class that I do enjoy for the reasons that more people get into the problems and speak out plus most of the times it makes me stress my brain and learn new thing. Lastly the most important class on the list, English 101 has to be one that uses up most of my time since we have both homework online and due in class. The thing I do enjoy about the class is that it isn’t exactly freakishly hard we just have a lot of work, also that the book we are currently reading gets interesting every chapter.
Although on my lazy days or days that I feel down I don’t want to go to class what helps me stay motivated is my older sister since she works, has a kid, and still goes to school. Another thing that keeps me motivated to continue going to school is the fact that a college degree always guarantees a better pay in my future job.
