In English, we were doing a project about how people on a daily basis cross boundaries. Whether it means crossing boundaries in race, age, religion, etc. For my podcast I decided to interview my Aunt Linda who lives in Hollywood, South Carolina. When she was in high school she disobeyed her parents and forged her signature so that she can have the opportunity to go to an all Caucasian school.

Here I interview Winston Wright (SuperDukeWellington). We talk about how when people first see Winston they would even began to suspect he was this great rapper. 

All music in interview by SuperDukeWellington. 

My project was about cultural boundaries. I interviewed my mom about how life in the military changed not only her view of the world, but also how experiencing other cultures has opened her mind.

This podcast tells the story of a man named Richard Landis, and how he broke free of the social norm as a kid by deciding to pursue a higher education.

¿Qué se hace?

Practice using SE to form the impersonal in Spanish. Construct impersonal sentences in Spanish by describing what one does in each place.

Los Lugares

    * Por ejemplo: la biblioteca / leer – Se lee en la biblioteca.
    * el café / beber
    * la discoteca  / bailar
    * la escuela / aprender
    * la piscine / nadar
    * la playa / tomar el sol
    * el restaurante / comer
    * la tienda / comprar ropa


Learning to form the impersonal se in Spanish is necessary for Spanish language learners to make general statements with unspecified grammatical subjects.

Being a girl usually means that you do a lot of shopping, cooking, cleaning, and other household chores. But one day, a girl decided to defy that, and do something that a man does. She decided to play a man's sport: football.

So here have a pretty picture I took instead.

"Are you a bobcat or a wildcat?"

"I am a lynx."

"You're a sphinx."

"I am a lynx."

"Oh I understand, a fancy sphinx."

"I am not a sphinx."

"So are you a bobcat or a wildcat?"

"I don't understand what is happening..."

"Definitely a wildcat."

No one thinks about you as much as I do
I know that everything is difficult with me
But I’m doubting whether its better for us to be apart
B/c Its impossible for me to stop loving you

Friend: Hey bby
Me: Hey Love!
*time goes by*
Me:Hey Love!
Friend: Hey Love!
Me: Wassup =]
Friend: Wyd? What's new
Me: Nothing chilling, how about you?
Friend: Good. I'm Happy.
Me: That's Great =]
Friend: Yeah.

My alarm went off at six-o-clock playing Goodmorning by Kanye West from my ipod dock. I woke up a took my ipod touch off the dock. I touched the facebook app to see my new notifications. As I looked at my feeds I seen people statuses saying that there was no school today. I turned my ipod off, and stared at my melon painted wall for a couple seconds just to fall back into bed and drift to sleep.

For my podcast I interviewed my grandfather and my mother about experiences they have had regarding their race. Both of them have a very pale complexion but are ethnically black. I wanted to see what it was like growing up in their shoes and if their racial experiences differed because of the time periods in which they grew up.

She wanted Him, he wanted some other girl.
She thinks about Him all of the time, she wants Him more than anything, so she wastes her time on distractions.
She liked a boy named Michael and he liked her too. Too bad too late she found he had a girlfriend that wasn't her. Not that it mattered because even in her most flirtatious times she thought of Him not Michael.
She moved along, still liking Mike but knowing it would never work.
She liked a boy named Billy.
Billy was nice, single and lied a lot. She ignored it for a while. She still missed Him anyway, so what was a few lies, disappointments, and broken promises? Nothing.
She decided he was a distraction she was better off forgetting because she had enough pain to deal with without Billy.
She stopped everything.
She severed her connection with Billy, who really only wanted a relationship and not a friendship.
She finally got a hold of Him and found that he had always been thinking of her, dreaming of her, and loving her for as long as she loved Him. But it would never be enough, it never had been.
