California Prison
This blog is about an article of Ted Kople. It was summarizing how much money it is to keep prisoners. To keep a Kople says to keep a a convict its as expensive as being a student at Harvard university. It all comes from the citizens taxes. So pretty much the citizens are paying for the prisoners who once did their society wrong. It is also over crowded in the prison. So crowded that they seperate them by race and even gangs. Also its so crowded the prisoners smuggle in the cell phones and other devices and still work their drug deals and or prostitution busniesses from inside their cell.

I HATE REVISION
Personally I am more of a creative writer. So revising is a pain in the behind for me. I love just jotting down all my feelings and all my knowledge with no thinking because I am more of creative and emotional, so I am not very intellectual. But when i write a paper thoughts come to me so much easier then it is to criticize someone elses or my own paper.

individual conferences
I really love the individual conferences because then I get to actually hear about my paper personally then read it. Everyone has their own opinions and even reading some one's review. We get different opinions and ideas just reading someone elses opinion, but hearing it we can't change it around that much. Also Karen tends to get more indepth with her feed-back and gives ideas , but she still says the good part of the paper making us feel were not total failures.

sorrrry
I a weee bit late for the blogging. But i chose to talk about our first project. I loved it, because it gave me a chance to reflect. And reflecting on my trip to cancun made me appreciate it even more. At the time I didn't even realize how i was learning a new culture, and now looking back I can fianlly realize that i was on a once in a life time trip, and it was such a beautiful experience.

Insight game
Besides the annoying sound that the Insight game had whenever the card was flipped, it was an efficient reflection on myself. I learned that i am a ENFP. The description fits me perfectly! I have a taken a test like this before in my ID 101 class and got the same results. So obviously this test was accurate.
It says that im creative, open minded, imaginative, outgoing, and caring. Those are the few things all my friends and family know me for. I am very proud of this result. Trust me at times I do wish I was more organized and actually finish what I start but it is truely hard for me.
never the less i am prud to be an ENFP people may question me a lot but most people get used to me and my spontaneous actions, and learn to accept them and love me for who i am :)

I went to go watch the Unity speaker. The speaker was a minister. He was really funny. Most people might be suprised to see a minister thats funny, but I was not. My church back home is funny most of the time and very interesting and lively. He had a lot of interesting points and he knew how to keep me drawn into his presentation.

first week new semester :)
This semester started off great! I like having pretty much the same class I feel a lot more comfortable and open with everyone. And for once I am actually writing this blog on time. I am really looking foreward to this semester besides revising and researching papers. I really like more creative writing projects. I also love this semester because now i feel more open and comfortable with the teacher aka karen. I am so pleased with this english class.
