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"

:'(


Brink of Destruction

It's not hard to see that we are on the brink of destruction.
But when something comes of nothing,
What do you expect me to say?

Too much weight on love that could change with a letter,
A note, a kiss "goodbye".

You know how much you really mean to me,
But ask me ten minutes later,
I'll feel differently.

I'll find you chasing after me,
Years gone by.
But if it is meant to be,
I'll be there with open arms.
If not,
Then we still have what once was.

Quarter 3 Benchmark Reflection

Nuestro proyecto es una telenovela representando nuestra opinión de sexismo en países latinoamericanos. El todo es muy dramática y ridículo para presentar los diferentes en la cultura americana y la cultura latinoamericana y sexismo en la sociedad. Queremos presentar nuestro proyecto como una telenovela porque en una parte de este cuarto miramos telenovelas para representan el culturo de sexismo. Entonces es el mejor forma de presentar nuestro conocimiento de este unidad.

En completando este proyecto conocí mucho de sexismo en sociedad y cada vez una cosa es tan sexismo dije, “ESTO ES SEXISMO” entonces tuve un impresión en mi opiniones de sociedad y personas sexismos en nuestro culturo. También los todos ejemplos de sexismo en cultura de pop. Pienso que contribuí buenos opiniones del guión y presenta los características de hombres en el culturo latinoamericano en un forma controvertido.

Si completar este proyecto otra ves voy a escribir un guión menos complicado y hacer mas tiempo con el video y menos con el guión. 

College

I just got accepted to a school in Florida and I was looking forward to going there but reviews on studentreviews.com seem to discourage that. I noticed its at every school that there are many negative reviews that seem to really downgrade the school or any school in that matter. Im confused on trusting what I see and hear or actually experiencing it for myself and making the decision from there.

vase

This is a picture of my final product. I feel as though it could have been better but because I'm still getting use to the shading and the transparency of the vase i tried my best. I like that i added color to it so that people could tell what it was. I think i could have made my drawing more even with the shape of the vase. I did like this assignment because I was tried of drawing people and drawing items they never change verse drawing a person who can shift and change daily.
Overall I like this picture I drew,i think its one of my best.

I'm freaking out.

I got a 67 on my math benchmark.
WHAT THE HELL
HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN.
I KNOW EVERYTHING THAT WAS ON IT.
TAYLOR EVEN CHECKED IT.
I SWEAR TO GOD. I'M GOING TO HAVE A PANIC ATTACK.
 
This is why I curse everyone out in the hallways that bump into me, and get frustrated with all of my work.
This is a disgrace. I can't even tell my parents. I'm going to start crying more than I already am.
I can't breathe.
Fuck.
Fuck.
Fuck.
Fuck.

Ugh.
I hate school. This sucks.
The one thing I actually put time into and I get a 67.
Fuck this.
