Presentations

I learned a few things about all the different countries that were being compared to Pakistan. I thought all the presentation were well thought out as well. People who have been using Powerpoint for a while knew how to do cool things with their presentations. Some of the slides were hard to read because of the background coloring and the color of the font. It isn't a big deal though because I wasn't really reading the slides anyway.

Back tracking to the speaker who came the week before, I thought he was really informative. I expected the presentation to be like the library one, but luckily it wasn't. He talked about websites that I didn't even know were available to me. The one that I am really happy I learned about was the optimal resume one. Now my resume won't be too hard to write. He also explained internships and I would now like to internship as soon as I can. I don't think I will study abroad though because many people say that transferring the credits are really difficult and you need to constantly remind the people who take care of those things to help you.

three cups of tea

I like the idea of the book, but it really is a drag to read. I was at first really interested in the book and it's nice to know that Mortenson did a lot of things for the Pakistani people, but that won't keep my attention. I need to start remembering not to leave reading the book for last minute because then I just forget to read it in general.
College for me right now is fairly easy. I noticed though that now towards the end of the semester all I want to do is not go to school and not do homework. It wasn't like that in the beginning, but I always get lazy and never keep up with my work especially when I fall behind. In my humanities class I have to read so much from the textbook within a few days and it makes me lazy to even think of it so I don't bother to read it anymore. I need to stop getting lazy and get back on track because my goal for this year is to get a 3.0. In high school I never got a 3.0 but in college I am determined to get that grade point average.

library session

The library session was so boring. I wanted to fall asleep so bad, but silly me sat in the front. I tried my best to pay attention to her, but a lot of the things she said were very similar to the things I learned in my high school library. I felt bad for her which is probably how I stayed up for the whole lecture.

resume

Looking at my resume, it looks really empty. It doesn't look like I do much, but I always feel too bus to do more. If I lived on campus I would want to join a lot of clubs, but the commute is so annoying. In my high school resume I had different things about choir because that was the only extra curricular activity I did. I also was an exchange student in Spain, but I can't write that down now. When I look at my resume it just makes me want to do more and volunteer.

questions for ch 1-6

i don't think i really have any questions so far in the book. i wish i did so i could write more in this blog, but i think i get what's going on with the book up to chapter 6.

predictions for book and my organization

my predictions for the book are that greg is going to make schools. haha obviously he's going to. i think that since he couldn't make it to k2 and put his sisters necklace at the top he's not only going to help these kids by making a school for them, he's going to also think of his sister and do it for her as well.

in my life, i feel like i'm pretty organized. i'm pretty predictable because monday thru thursday is school and work time (especially since i'm in college) friday thru sunday is relax, hang out with friends time. it has been like that for a while now, i know i always need to go home to do my homework. when i'm not doing homework i go to the gym. i always use my planner because if i don't, i will forget everything that i have to do. there's not much i can change in my life so i can be more organized. i should however, stop being so lazy. i regret procrastinating this blog til sunday. it's not because i'm disorganized, it's because i'm lazy.

hi

my name is eileen ortiga. first off, i officially believe i am remedial at computers because this is my second post for this class. i have no idea how to become ms. patire's follower. i am a commuter and a freshman. my life is very boring because it consists of going to school, work, and the gym. i try to enjoy myself on the weekends, but they never seem to be long enough. i started reading when the Twilight stuff started to become famous. Now i like to read, but only if someone tells me its good. i just finished reading My Sister's Keeper, which was really sad, and now i'm reading The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks. my favorite book is Dear John by Nicholas Sparks even though it's really cheesy. if i could say i have hobbies i would say it is playing the piano even though i hardly do anymore. it's fun to play, but i never seem to progress and improve. anyways, i hope i can get this right and be able to follow ms. patire!
