It's been weeks...

Pretty sure it's been almost a month since I last posted on here. I really am sorry and truly mean it! For my awesome 3rd period class thank you for all of you who offered to help me with Chemisty and Algebra 2! And for those who aren't in 3rd period... I was venting to Dr. Preston about my grades and how I'm in need of help. And that I've trried tutoring and it just wasn't cutting it. I needed to put extra time into all of this. And being the great person Dr. Preston is he presented the class about my problem (with my permission) and got me the help and support that no teacher has ever gave me. As for the assignments I haven't done... They're all on my Drafts waiting to be published. 

Tools that change the way we think

(I will copy and paste passage once I'm near a computer)

I love technology! This is a sad thing to say but if I didn't have any of my electronics it would take me months to do certain assignments. It's such a helpful tool. I can't so math hw with having to look on Khan Academy. Yes we have books but researching topics for papers the internet is so helpful. (And yes I'm aware of that fact that not everything on the interest is true) The internet had changed the way I think. When I have assignments for class I think of the additional information I can read online. Not saying I do this for every class but hey once in a while I tend to do that. I don't know if it's a food or bad thing but the way I process things on my mind I always relate to the internet and research. If someone asks me: "Does a sonnet have to rhyme?" I must google it for them and give them the answer. I rely on google too much. But to me it's a very helpful tool and full of unique answers. (Like yahoo answers.. Which I probably should be relying on a lot) 

Filter bubbles

a)What new information did you learn from the video?

A) From watching the video I learned that the internet is creating weird categories for you. For example if you were searching up information for a paper you wouldn't get exactly what you want. Also you won't be getting the same information as others event though you searched the same exact thing.

 b)How does this information make you think differently about what you see online?

B) This information makes me think about if I have real options and privacy online. When I watched the part about the fact that Google knew where you were sitting.. (like on a desk) It also makes me realize that maybe searching everything isn't as reliable as I thought. I google almost every thing that I want to know. 

 c)What questions does this video raise about the Internet in general?

C) The question that raises this about the internet is : "Is the internet a reliable source?" 

d)How can you improve the effectiveness of your searches?

D) Possibly by searching things not in sentence form.

Thoughts on Hamlet

Not sure if you want us to write about how we feel about Hamlet the person or the actual story. Hehe. So I'll post how I felt about te story. When I found out we were going to read Hamlet I was super stoked! I actually really like Shakespeare I just wish I understood things more clearly. But I was also scared on the fact that we have to memorize To be or not to be! Now that we're into act 4 I feel like it's all going to make sense now. Why thins happened and why hamlet is the way he is.

Starting early.

The AP kids seem to be raving about this one. So why not? Watched the movie on History Sophomore year. Thank God I forgot. 

Key to success.

So today was my first official "College Day". So basically I dedicate a whole day for college apps, naviance, common app, scholarships, etc. I'm in a program called ETS. (Educational Talent Search) they help with preparing you for college and all the things we learn in College Boot Camp. My counselor gave me this awesome flash drive that looks like a key. Thought it was blogger worthy. Hehe. So here's a little inspiration from my nifty flash drive! Btw it's filled with a lot of senior information that my counselor worked hard on. Scholarships and information on questions we might have. Kudos to Lili Cardenas.
