Well..our first group meeting went really well I thought. I think our group gets along really well and we are all going to work our best to get each of our parts done. I usually get scared and don't know what to expect when working with other people in groups, especially people I don't know very well, but I was pleasantly surprised to finally ( Read more... )

      Now we're talking! Finally interesting lectures that can keep me entertained. For whatever reason it may be, World War II has always caught and kept my attention. I think everything about it is so interesting. From the new technologies to new military tactics, it has got be the greatest War of all time in my book. I think mostly I enjoy ( Read more... )

      ..BUT MUCH SHORTER VERSION! woo! I had to read this novel in high school. First off, thank goodness that the excerpt we are reading is not long. Second off, thank you Dr. AC and Prof. Gunderson for printing the reading in such large font..it makes it seem like it will go by faster! Haha. I haven't taken a look at what part we are reading but ( Read more... )

     I think I laughed out loud after reading 'How To Be A Good Wife', not because it was stupid or anything, but I think it is so crazy how things have changed. I work, and I am proud to say that even when I grow up I will continue to have a job and bring in my own source of income. Don't get me wrong, I know that there are still some families ( Read more... )

     The 1950's were quite radical in fact, this is the decade that began rock n' roll, the civil rights movement, better family living, advances in technology, Fashion, medical research, other wonderful things this country was not used to seeing or hearing. The 1950's were looked at more as a state of mind or a way of living rather than just ( Read more... )

      Well, seems like this week was the week that all of my classes decided to go to the library and learn about data bases and how to use the ccccd cougar web library page..you would think that after 13 years of school the library would assume that we have got the search engines down and definitely understand how to use them! Haha, i usually just ( Read more... )

      I like it when we get class time to work in groups. I think it makes the lessons more fun and entertaining when people get to interact with other peers. In the beginning of the year we did quite a few activities in groups. Since we have not gotten the opportunity in a while to work in groups I am that much more excited to work on our group ( Read more... )

     Since I missed a day the week before spring break, I just found out my group yesterday. I really think I am going to enjoy working with them, and am excited that we are focusing on Lucille Ball! I love her and find her so hilarious. I used to watch 'I Love Lucy' with my grandmother whenever it would come on late at night. My favorite episode ( Read more... )

      So over spring break, I went to Colorado and sat next to another person from Chicago! Anyway, I asked her if she had ever read 'Devil in the White City', which she said she had never heard of! Seriously, how can you live in Chicago and not have even heard of one of the most famous books about your city's history? I ended up filling her in on ( Read more... )

      So I did not do as well as I thought I did. I freak out while I take tests, and even though I could know every answer I tend to think too much about each question and end up not doing so well. Although the multiple question part was exactly what I expected, I was really excited that we only had to write one essay. I was stressing out about ( Read more... )
