No time

I literally had no time this weekend to post anything for this class. On Saturday I worked from 9am-5pm. As soon as I got home from work I took a shower and was right back out the door to go meet Roberto. Roberto and I our making a cookbook for our capstone and on that Saturday night we decided to meet up go food shopping and then cook some meals which turned out wonderfully.  We cooked from 8pm-11:30 pm, by the time we were done I was knocked out. By 8am on Sunday I was up and getting ready for work. By 8:30am I was out the door. I worked from 9am-4pm that day and by the time I got off work I met up with my mom, grandmom, and my mom's boyfriend for dinner. Afterwards, I went back to grandmom's house. She has internet connection there, but of course when I showed up it was not working, so I couldn't post anything then.

​"Promises look good on paper, especially from you."

Someone shared a piece of information, about their personal life, with me. I've learned something new about this person. There was nothing said that meant I needed to keep this information a secret, but I knew it was something that was not to be brought up again, at least, not by me.

Resumen de Cajas de Carton

Natalie Sanchez
Leer Cajas de Cartón En español es muy fácil porque el lenguaje en el libro no es muy complicado. También es un libro muy corto y simple, entonces, pienso que lo puedo terminar pronto, si lo leo con frecuencia. Cuando no entiendo una palabra en la lectura, marco esa palabra, y leo el resto de el párrafo para ver si tengo una mejor idea de lo que significa esa palabra. Si aún no la entiendo, entonces busco su significado en el diccionario. Se me hace difícil sacar tiempo de leer el libro porque tengo muchas cosas que hacer durante el día, y no me da mucho tiempo de leer el libro, pero ahora estoy cogiendo tiempo, por las noches, para leer algunos capítulos del libro todos los días. Me gusta aprender vocabulario con el libro porque me gusta leer. Es una forma fácil y divertido para aprender nuevo vocabulario en español. Se me hace difícil a veces leer el libro, pero si me gusta leerlo.

Reflexión de “Entre Amigas”

En el tercer cuarto de mi clase de español cinco, fuimos  asignado un proyecto que representara las diferentes representaciones de los varios aspectos de la mujer latinoamericana en la televisión y en la vida real. Yo trabajé en un grupo con Fanklin, Thea, Isabela, Emilisa, y Jaccar. Nosotros hicimos un programa de televisión,  específicamente para mujeres, donde entrevistamos a una actriz. En el programa, hablamos con la actriz sobre su representación de la mujer en comparación con la mujer del diario vivir. Decidimos hacer el programa en imovie porque decidimos que era la opción más divertido para nosotros. La pregunta esencial del proyecto fue, "¿Cómo se representa la voz femenina (o el género femenino) en los países hispanos?" Dirigimos esta pregunta usando el ejemplo de la mujer en las telenovelas, específicamente. En nuestro proyecto, contestamos esta pregunta en la entrevista con la actriz invitada. Pudimos ver dos distintas perspectivas en el asunto porque entrevistamos, no solo a la actriz, pero también a una “mujer común”, caminando por la calle. En el guión, escribimos, lo que pensábamos que eran, los puntos de vistas de las dos mujeres, y pudimos contestar con la mentalidad de las dos clases de mujer. Con nuestro programa, pudimos enseñar que muchas veces, la representación de la mujer en las telenovelas no es real. Hicimos el punto que la mujer del diario vivir es muy fuerte e independiente mientras la mujer en las telenovelas es muy débil y dependiente de los hombres. También pudimos enseñar que la diferencia en autoridad de varón y hembra en las telenovelas son falsas porque las mujeres son capaces de hacer todo lo que los varones pueden hacer. Hablamos desde un punto de vista feminista. Pienso que en el proceso de crear nuestro programa, aprendimos que debemos de poner atención a lo que miramos por la televisión porque muchas veces los roles de varón y mujer que vemos ahí están muy lejos de la realidad. Debemos ponerle más atención a la realidad de los dos géneros, y el poder de tras de ambos, en ves de dejarnos dominar por los guiones estereotípicos de las telenovelas y los programas de la televisión.

Pienso que hicimos muy  bien en este proyecto. Todo el mundo contribuyó con la creación del guión y todos participamos en la grabación del programa. Pienso que trabajamos muy diligentemente como un grupo. También pienso que contribuí mi liderazgo al grupo porque fui la que hice el horario del proceso y quién organicé la mayoría del proyecto. También trabajé muy duro editando las grabaciones en imovie y añadiéndoles transiciones y música para hacerlo lucir más profesional. También salí en la película varias veces. Pienso que yo trabajé muy duro, igual que mis compañeros de grupo.

Me hubiera gustado tener un horario normal durante el proceso de grabación, porque tenía que coger el examen PSSA durante ese tiempo. Por esto, se le hizo difícil a mi grupo grabar todos a la vez; tuvimos diferentes horarios por los exámenes.

Espero que, con nuestro producto final, los miembros de nuestra clase de español aprendan que las representaciones de la mujer en las telenovelas son drásticamente diferentes a la mujer común. Espero que aprendan la importancia de analizar la diferencia entre la vida real y la televisión, como nosotros los hemos hecho. 

Aquí está nuestro proyecto! Que lo disfrutes.

I do not know what to write about. Yet again I'm exhausted and have no idea why. I've been sleeping fine but still am so tired. perhaps it's because I have no rest days. I deserve one. I'm giving myself one tomorrow. I need to start my benchmarks. So far I'm nowhere. I can't find any motivation or will power to do work. Senioritis has hit me hard.

Life

Thirteen men, two women, and a cat sit around a table, pondering life, all of them wearing tin foil hats.

   "Sex, money, alcohol, work, sex," say the men, breaking the silence.
   "Nay," say the women. "Sex, money, clothing, hair, sex."
   "Meow," say the cat. "Meow meow meow meow meow meow."
   "So very wise," say the men.
   "Brilliant," say the women.
   The cat purrs.

Q3 benchmark reflection

Nosotros hemos un telenovela que tener los papel de hombres y mujeres encendido con los personas que actuó los papeles. Nosotros pensamos que un telenovela es el forma mas fácil por mostrar como los mujeres están muestran en telenovelas. Este proyecto fue difícil múltiples razones. Encontrar tiempo para filmar fue difícil, y mi grupo no memorizado todo del guión, por lo necesitamos mucho tiempo por parada y practicamos los lineas. También, edición el proyecto necesita mucho tiempo porque hay mucho tomas inútiles. Hay problemas pequeños que nada persona vio durante filmando, pero cuando yo necesito editar los problemas pequeños se muy grande. Después de todo esto, el audio desincronización, y no podía fijar este. Si yo hiciera este proyecto otra vez, no voy a edición el video.

A little secret

I pray that one day it will be safe
That it will never be seen by anyone 
I will hide it
I will hold it tight
I'll put it under lock and key
I'll zip my mouth shut
And throw away the key
So please be quiet 
And keep this little secret
between you and me

Quarter 3 Benchmark Reflection

I chose to create an interview. I chose a few characters and people we'd come across in our unit on feminism. I then chose various questions to ask to each of the interviewees. The essential question had to do with "voces femininas" and how women are portrayed in Hispanic societies, so I showed the voices, as I imagined them, of actual feminists and also a various characters.
By doing this project, I learned a lot about the two feminists I used for the project. I had to read about them and read a bit of their work in order to get a good idea of their voices. I also had to think a lot about the two characters I used. One was a girl from a telenovela and the other was from "Mujeres al Borde de un Ataque de Nervios". In order to write about those two characters, I had to think about how the movie and the telenovela portrayed women.
I feel that I did well in my project. I'm proud of how I made each character sound different. I also think that my project was both informative and funny, and I'm proud of that. If I could do the whole thing again, I would probably add in a bit of conversation about the Spanish language itself.

So I know this is like late but here it goes

On saturday. My sister, mom, and nieces all went to King of Prussia mall. I needed to get somethings for my prom and my eldest niece's graduation. At first I thought it was gonna be boring, but at the day went on, things went good. We went into everyone of our stores and looked around, we got some things, tried on stuff and even went into this scanner that told you what type of jeans look best on you. Everything was great and we were even singing songs on the ride back. I really liked saturday, because it was one of those times where we all were connected and having fun since...well, you know.

WoW

Wow. I haven't been able to post in so long. I have been home and in and out of the doctors office. Apparently I have an exceptionally weak immune system. My brother has a bacteria in his stomach and I think he got me sick with whatever it was. I r now. I feel better now but these next few weeks will be so overwhelming with making up work and benchmarks and my new job. I can't wait until the worst is over and I can just sit back and relax. I need to get myself together. Thank God Mr. Chase is letting me post!

What is that smell.

This morning coming in school was the worse. It smelled like really bad fish all on the 2nd floor and no one knew where it was coming from. Some people said it smelled like the female monthly cycle and others said that it smelled like buttocks. I didn't understand how that could be possible because to me, it smelled like someone took some old seafood out their locker and put it in the trashcan. If you put in that way, it make you think, how does the locker smell? Did they have clothes inside it? Interesting Morning it was

So a thought occurred to me...

Yesterday at work I was standing at the grill, frying bacon, and the weirdest thought came to me. What if one night you went to sleep and in the next morning you woke up in a hospital bed. You were in a coma, and the life you think you've lived thus far was just a comatose dream...

Or if like you died in this life, just to wake up and find out that it was all a dream, and not the Biggie kind. I mean sometimes when you dream it feels so real, you think it's really happening, so what if this was the dream that feels so real.

You can have some deep thoughts when you're standing around frying bacon...

April 15, 2011

Since early November of 2010, I've been waiting for the day April 15, 2011 to arrive. On April 15, 2011 Wes Craven's Scream 4 will be coming to theaters. The Scream movies have been my favorite movies since I watched part 1 when I was three years old. Since then I was obsessed with the movie. My mom would purchase me VHS tapes of the movies and I would watch 1,2&3 frequently. When I was in 10th grade I bought the trilogy from Walmart for $30, and it was the best $30 I've ever spent. When I learned that another sequel will come to theaters in April of 2011, I was ecstatic. April 15, 2011 is in approximately 2 weeks and words can't explain how excited I am to see Scream 4. 

Goodbye Sis

Ok my sis and her husband has been staying at my house for over three months now and they are finally leaving today. Omg I'm going to miss her but at the same time I'm happy because I've been     spending to much time together. And I wont miss her too much because I'm going to spend an entire month with her this summer.

fart gone wrong.

a bittersweet memory just popped up.

once when my ex-boyfriend and I were at his house, we got into an argument. He was sitting on one end of the bed and I on the other. We weren't talking. I was sitting on his pillow. To silently get revenge for him cursing me out I was going to slip out a silent but deadly one- on his pillow. WRONG. It came out loud and bold. He looked at me. I looked at him.

"Get the fuck out."
"I love you."
"Amira, get out yo"
"I'm sorry Pooohhhhh, it was suppose to be silent!"
 
*crickets

(I turn to get up, he tackles me)

"I love your lil stank ass"
"I love you too, gimme kiss"
