Reflecting On Today's Experience

Today when we went to the English Lab I did not know what Ms. Crawford was talking about I just know that she said something about a radio station named Pandora. Maybe you will laugh of me but I though she was talking about this mexican group name Pandora too. So I was so exited to know the answer, so when we began to seach this web site I relize that it has something similar to You Tube, but as we know you can see all the videos you can without limitation and Pandora give you just a certain amount of song. If I am not wrong I guess you can just listen to six or seven song per day. Thats why I did not like Pandora that much. Then after Pandora we went to this website named Lastfm, is almost the same thing as Pandora but you can listen to more videos and it also have more option to choose from both of them have things in common like they have to be with ratio station in which one you can see all kinds of videos of your favorites artist. Thats almost all the details about this two ratio stations. But the thing that I like the most was going to google and looked for our adress to see a picture of our house, that is the one that I liked the most because alot of the pictures were from years ago and the houses lookes so different. And one of my friends showed me his house I mean a picture of his house so at least know I know where my friends live and how their houses looked like. At the end of the class I went to my house and I checked all the websites that we use in the class, it is interesting how can you see a picture of your house. But all of them have things alike for example Pandora and the Lastfm were radiobstations that that let people listen to what they want to hear, like their personal likes for music. Is rare that I will say this but know I am alway in any of those two websites listening to my Wisin y Yandel music. But google its like a way to help people find thing or make your life easyier. This is what I think about this three web sites.

Reflection On My Writing Center Experience.

On my first visit to the writing center my tutor was this man named Renato, he helped me a lot and he also gave me different ways to add more details to my essay. But last time when I went to the writing center again my tutor was "mmmm" I do not even remember the name of the guy, the only thing I remember about him was the way he treated me. At the beginning he introduce himself, and we went to sit in front of the desk. I showed my rough paper and I also showed him the name of the vlog that I choose. He did not even looked at them and he gave me this paper that he used before with other three students, I did not like that because I know that we have the same English class but my vlog was not the same as the others. In my point of view I really did not received any help from my tutor. So I decided to do what my group told me to do. I remember them telling me about my vlog, most of them told me about my details. That I have to add more of them but the thing was that I did not know what detail to add. So one of them told me to described the background like to say in what place they were at a room, park , school, thing like that. and they recomend me to use my five senses to be more specific with all the details. lt also helped me a lot what my teacher said about how she want us to make our paragraphs. So I looked at my vlog and started writing every little detail that appeard in the first minute that include all the backgroung, sounds and facial expressions of the girls who were in the vlog. When I was in the middle of my essay It was like more easyier so I had a great time explaining all the details. It was like reading a book to a blind people and you have to be very specific in all the details of the background and sounds well everything. This was my great experience with the writing center .

Commenting On Other People's Blogs.

In my personal opinion this assignment was a good way to connect our experiences with the other studets. I wrote a comment to Angel , I read his blog and I felt a connection with him because he talked about how dirrerent those two assignments were and how hard was to find an appoinment at the writing center. I also have to passed through all of that but I am glad I made it. The other comment that I wrote was for Anna , I also read her blog about how she use to feel when our teacher said that we will have to make presentations in front of the whole class. I also felt a closed connection with her too because at the beginning of the English class I was scare. I am that kind of girl who does not like to talk in front of the whole class. And its worse when the student start asking questions about our presentation and I am like "what do I answer know" based on what I read about her blog I think she also have trouble speaking in front of the class too. I am also like that I been here for a lot of years and I still get nervouse because when I am nervouse I forget almost everything. So what I want you to know is that in some ways we have a connections with other people's blogs.

Reflecting On Today's Experience.

At the begining of the class we moved closely next to our team members. When I asked one of the students in my group to describe his vlog, we notice that it was not easy, because you need to be very specific about every little detail. We decide to talked and write about everything that was in the first vlog. He described me his vlog , who was in it, what the person was wearing and all those details. It was very interesting because it was like if I was there, I imagined all the words that he was saying. Then it was time to talk about my vlog. In that moment I did not know what to say or how to explain it to them. And then they started asking a lot of dirrefents questions, like "can you describe me what was in the back?". I talked about every little thing that was there even the pictures who were hanging from the wall. I let them know all the detals that I could think about. Is funny but then right after I started describing the vlog I could not stopped talking about the vlog. I never imagined that describing a vlog was so hard. It sound easy for me before but when we had to explained and described everything I was like " man this is not easy". Its diffuicult trying to make another person to visualize what you talking about. Its like if you are reading a book to a bling people, You have to use you five senses in order for them to visualize what you are reading . So if you want to use your sense of taste I would not know how to say it maybe I will say " it was as sweet as a candy"or something like that. But like our teacher said it would not be a good idea if we want to use this sense. Well but what I am trying to say is that is not easy to describe a vlog because you have to be real good at this to make other people see what you saying. And its more harder trying to find a vlog who could have details , because you know that the first vlogs are not as good as the others, well not all of them. I hope you can understand what my experience with this vlog was.

Brief Description About The Essay.

This is one of the hardest assignments that I have to do. Because for me was not easy to decide which vlog will be the good one. I could not even find one that looks interesting to me. But when I came back from school I turn on the computer and I started to checked out almost all the first vlogs in You Tube. I almost gave up until I saw this two white girls sitting infront on the webcam. I pressed play, and it said by MKrazyvids then both of them got a little closer to the webcam and they said " Did you know what time is it" and both of them answerd "Vloging time". Jumping and dancing at the same time, then they introduced themselves Kimberley and Miranda, they are the girls that I am talking about. They were different from the other girls of the fist vlogs. Even thou it was also their first vlog too, they act like professionals, but a the same time they were having fun. They talked about the skills they have and they almost have the same ones. Both of them sing, dance, and the most important thing is that they are best friends. But one thing that was rare about kimberley was that she does not drink coca-cola because she said that people from coca-cola company uses this drink to clean all the dirt that is in the machines. So it is very interesting because now she made me think about the consecuences of drinking this coca-cola. Maybe those acids that the coca containg are killing a lot of people. man I think I going to drink just pure water. Another thing that I like about this vlog was how this two girls could make a long story out of nothing. Like if Miranda says a word then Kimberley says another one and they kept doing tha same pattern. The last thing they did was singing, Kim was playing the guitar and Mira was playing the piano. both of them singing. And I relized that they have some talent in there. Well I hope you understand why I decide to work with this vlog.

Reflecting On Today's You Tube Video.

It was very interesting I really enjoyed it a lot. Because when he started talking he looked very happy and I was asking myself , why I use to think that there is nothing unusual about You Tube. But then he said how fast it grow up , it was fanny when he said that he and his wife were there almost every time to press refresh, because they were surprised about how many followers You Tube had. One of the reasons I liked this video was that it change the way I use to think about this website. Before seen this video I was the kind of girl who use to think that You Tube was just for stuped people. But now I know how unfair and wrong I was. This people find You Tube like a new world in which they can be themselves without wearing their every day mask.I also relized that people were very shy to speak in front to a webcam I remember this girl she was like 20 or 19 years old and when she was inside in her closet doing her first vlog. It was hard to see her face because it was so dark. She was inside her closet no one else were there and she was talking as low that I could not understand what she was saying . But the best one for me was a bout this old man who was acting in like four different characters. One of them was a old lady, the other one was about a gay , I forgot the other ones but it was so funny because he was interpretating one of them and in less then a second he changed to the other. So I think this was a good video. And let me tell you that now I know that You Tube is for people who want to show their special talents , ans also for people who look at this like a way to distract themselves from all the problems that we have in this world. I am sure that in a few days I will be in You Tube too because I have some skills that I want to share with them too.
