Just a Test

Just testing to see if I can link a video correctly.

Final Project

So I got my peer review from the class today and it was pretty helpful. Thank you to all my classmates who left Danielle and I constructive criticism. We will be working on smoother transitions between the clips and scenes. I am actually looking forward to seeing the finished project of this and all of the others in class. This was fun to work with. Thank you Mei Fang for a great learning experience.
By the way just in case anyone cares, Today is International Human Rights Day... Darfur is still suffering and so are others around the world...

End

This is the last post to this Blog I will be making unless otherwise required by my instructor. In case I haven't mentioned, this blog was only a class requirement. No one has read it as far as I know other then a few people in my class and my instructor. No one seems to care about anything I have written about and I have to study for my finals, so I can't make this a long last post. It was an interesting to say the least experience for my first time blogging. I don't think I will be doing it ever again, and thanks for reading whoever you are. Oh I have to post one more thing on here as a requirement but that will be my last and there will not be anything else significant to anything unless otherwise required. I gotta go study hard like this baby!

The latest news regarding the ground situation in Darfur is that two displaced persons camps have been attacked, one of these is the largest camp, Kalma. By visiting the above link you can send a pre written letter to the White House urging our nations leaders to support peace keeping in Darfur. It take at the most 4 minutes to complete. Isn't the time worth helping to save the men women and children who are at risk everyday of being murdered? If your interested even further you can read more about the supporters of peace in Darfur by simply using the Google search engine, and entering the word Darfur. The are many organizations across the U.S. Also check out the documentary on MTVU.com about the 3 U.S students who traveled to Darfur to document what was taking place, it's quite interesting. Fight for something or you stand for nothing...

Class Assignment

So I have a class assignment. I'm using Adobe's Indesign to create a type of pamphlet. The focus of my assignment is to create a small information booklet to inform the campus about events in Darfur and what people can and should do to help the thousands of people who are becoming displaced, tortured, murdered and raped everyday. I'll be updating progress. Take Care.

Did you know...click here

Did you know about the amount of influence China has on Sudan? Hopefully I have correctly linked the website and you will be kind enough to read for yourself the influence that could play a major role in the fight to save Darfur. The Olympics are coming up in less than a year find out where the torch is running to by visiting the site also.

Something they're trying to teach me

How well do people really know whats going on in the world? And do people even care about horrible things that happen in other parts of the world if it isn't affecting them? How far will you reach out of your comfort zone to help another person?
To be honest with you, I don't particularly like sticking my nose into other peoples conversations if I hear them making racial slurs, about a race or ethnicity other then my own. I'm not a loud person, I'm not used to forcing my ideas upon others. I know right from wrong and why should I think that I should make it my job to tell others their place, hell, if they're ignorant enough not to know the difference why should I be the one to tell them what it is?
Lately I'm trying to be taught that stepping outside of what feels comfortable to right a wrong is a responsibility I will have as a journalist. I didn't really understand this at first and may not totally understand it yet, but I am guessing that it can be related to all people who support the fight to stop genocide in Darfur. If it wasn't and isn't for the supporters who speak out there would be many people left in the dark about the issue.

A blog topic

So...I'm concerned about what's going on in Darfur...
I feel helpless that I cannot play the active role my spirit craves. Instead I have devoted some time to do what I can as a human being to help the innocent who are being murdered and raped. If you're interest is sparked, or perhaps you share the feelings I do about the situation I hope that you also can find a way to help. Please visit http://www.darfurgenocide.org/ and do your part in fighting for these people. We remember the Holocaust and many of us said that if that were our time we would have been active in the fight against the genocide, well, Darfur is our time, let's do what we can and make a difference to try and stop this. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, I am at a loss of words, and may god bless you!

Blahh-G

So this new assignment is pretty difficult and I almost forgot that the blog was due today. The web creating stuff is really nifty! ("nifty" is such a weird word) I think that it's something that my grandma says; She also says things like:
- a lick and a promise ( ???)
- it's a wonder (what's a wonder?)
- Everyone is "Hon" (short for honey)
My grandma came to visit me and I brought her to school with me, we took the bus, it was her first experience on public transportation, she is so strange. Physically my grandma, I call her Ganny, is about 5 feet she has a big hook nose and will smack me across the head if I say she's Italian.
"It's Sicilian!" she says with a funny accent
She may be small but she's a feisty thing! And can be quite annoying. She dropped out of school in the 8th grade and self taught herself how to be a bookkeeper. And began her own business "Typical" I say. She talks alot and more often then necessary and nags and nags, about everything! But I love her!

Where I lived before I came to San Jose

Arroyo Grande, which I'm told translates to "Big Ditch" is where I lived before I came to San Jose. The surf is great people are beautiful and weather is awesome. I took this picture when I was trying to record video of a sea otter. The city and surrounding area isn't very diverse mostly Hispanics and Caucasians, and if your Asian looking your tagged Chinese. (Even if your not) There aren't alot of culturally educated kids here either. Oh and Zack Efron was my neighbor! (Like who cares!!) I could go on and on I love the area, I could do without the surrounding population.

School

I dread spending money every semester on books and course materials, cant we just get an all inclusive tuition? I could buy a small country with the money I have and will spend on on textbooks and all the good "required materials."...
I'm over exaggerating of course, but it still cost planny! Eh?

So, u like read da kine, only I got no ting jalike hea'.. prah'bly. I get em' bumbye. I'm pau, time fo go moi moi.

Blog On!

My first blog post. What are blogs for anyway? Ok, I have an idea of what they are for, but why are they so popular? Perhaps I'll enjoy posting and putting my everyday happenings out there for millions to read, maybe not. If you don't know already this blog was created as a class assignment, just in case you read this and aren't taking the class also.
So I'm at SJSU and I'm a transfer student from the central coast by Pismo Beach. And I must say it's HOT here! I miss the beach and wonderful weather but the city and educational environment are so diverse it makes it all worth it. I originally transfered as a Microbiology major and was on a path to optometry school. Through much thought and many life events I have found myself, and I am finally pursuing a career that will most likely leave me happy until I retire. I have a passion for writing and story telling, yet I am the lab partner you want to have in chemistry or biology class. I am very good in the sciences, but my heart lies in Journalism...
And when my parents find out I've changed majors...
Maybe no more blogging...
