Men are so fickle; one day they want something and the next day they want the opposite. At least young men are that way. It's interesting how women are seen as fickle but men's lack of intellect isn't acknowledged. As a woman with a feminist side I blame society for men's lack of respect for women. The feminist movement was very good; women gained their rights. However, another result is that men don't know how to treat women. What used to be considered standard courtesy is now seen as offensive. For example, men don't hold the doors as much for women because the courtesy standard is no longer understood. As an American woman it's hard for me to be understood by guys I date.

revised playlist: PLAYLIST: FRIDA KAHLO

I thought the playlist assignment was a good idea, although I'm not much of a music person. I don't have a music collection or a favorite kind of music, but this assignment allowed me to explore my knowledge of music and to relate my topic to an audio media. I learned that composing doesn't have to be limited to simple writing; music adds another dimension.

My essay is basically an extension of my playlist; I had fun with the text boxes and image formatting. I didn't have to make many corrections, so the revision is not much different. I learned that my grammar is really good. This assignment on top of the playlist was a good idea for me because I got the chance to write an essay. I enjoyed producing the essay more than the playlist because I'm more used to writing papers.

My movie is about why people decide to get tattoos. There are many reasons why people get tattoos; my main goal is to make those reasons clear. I have no transitions for the images, but the change is synchronized with the music. Enjoy.

Hey, how do I find the H drive on my computer? I've tried to find it and I can't seem to find any luck. I've searched near and far and I've just about given up all hope of finding it. I guess I could always come in Monday and get some help. Anyway, the breakfast was a nice treat; the doughnuts were good! See you Monday.

This final assignment is really fun to produce. I've had fun getting all my resources put together to create this unique, original video. I'm interested in what everybody else is doing for the assignment. I'm so tired! I havn't been getting much sleep because I've been studying so hard for math. I have another test tomorrow; I hope I pass.

I love the summer, especially this summer. Even though I'm busier than I ever have been before during the summer, I'm having such a good time. I'm learning a lot about life before I begin college. The only downside is that I get less sleep; but I guess I'll learn to cope with less sleep. I ran into this guy I havn't seen since middle school the other day and we ended up dating. It's pretty interesting; I've always been curious about how fate determines that two people should meet again after so much time apart. Life and the world as I know it is a mystery to me, and I believe that if I have love and give love to the world and everyone around me that's all I can do. I just have to be the best person I can possibly be. I feel happier than I've ever felt before because I know I'm trying every day to make good decisions and to further improve myself. Anyway, I'm going to study some more for Precal. Later.

This is the final product of my issue collage; I feel like the message I want to portray is clear enough for the typical viewer to understand. My message is that out of poverty, which is hell on Earth, those who are poverty-stricken have a chance to succeed. However, their success would be more often reached with the aid of those who are more fortunate.

I focused on the issue of global poverty. I still need to find some sign of hope to put in this collage.
