Pressure is on...

How is everyone doing with their "special projects"? I still need to write about 10 more pages for short stories and 3 more poems all before tomorrow.

Over this weekend I had so much work to accomplish.

- power point

- career outline paper

- Master plan for graduation

- 5 poems / 5 short stories

- Reflection for EN class

Tons of work, but I just say to myself that it will be all worth it.

Anyways, I hope you guys haven't forgotten about the moodle session we had today, I found it quite easy considering I can relate to the topic, not because I argue a lot, but rather, debate and question.

See you all tomorrow & good luck to those taking the written exam.

By the way, does anyone know what the extra credit is?

Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.

For the next three days I will be studying like no other. I think I'm going to be extremely mentally exhausted after this week. Almost done with my extra credit. :)
Anyways, One more week to go so goodluck to everybody!

Final Exam

It's past the dead line to change my mind whether to take the final exam or not. I'm still striving for that "A" I just really have to do well on the final exam and do the extra credit assignment as well. If only our potluck was an assignment as well. For example the more food we bring the higher your grade will be. Just a thought.

Crazy Friday

Today was one of the most craziest Fridays I ever had in my life. I had two tests today and also tons of errands and work. I guess that's life. Hoping I did well on our last test.

Fingers crossed!

I finally came to a decision (thanks to Shani and Rob)! I've chosen to work on the special project instead of the final exam. There's no more turning back. Right now, I'm listening to music to help give me the inspiration to write poems. I'm not much of a poet, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed on this one. Good luck to all of you and cheers to the weekend! :)

friday!

I hope I do better in today's test! I wasn't so happy about my overall grade. Now I am boosting myself to finish up with the project that's due next week and also the extra credit. Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Closing in fast!

It's Friday which means we have about 3 more days of class left! I'm pretty excited about today's test, but the fill in the blank questions were just mind bottling. I was very confused as there was not much information given for me to know what was being talked about. I guess that means I need to comprehend more on what I read. I hope everyone did great on this test!

I also liked how we got to write our own quote of inspiration!

Not satisfied

I'm studying at the moment for test#4. I hope I do better than the previous test. My results were quite disappointing. The test continues to surprise me. I definitely need to read the book more diligently.

Results of Test 3

I'm really disappointed in myself regarding test #3. The grade that I had received is considered "failure". So in that case I'm going to do the special project, and extra credit. I will pass this class with an A, and will not accept anything lower. I will maintain a positive attitude, and have faith in what I do. If I have to strive to get to where I want in life, I can and will do it; I got this.

You were born to win, but to be a winner, you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win. ~ Zig Ziglar

It's hard...

It's really hard to decide which should I take: test or the project.
I'm not really good at test, but the project seems hard as well. I'm really stress out!

Today!

Today we went over chapter 15 and 16. It was akward for me to learn, due to the test tomorrow and the final exam on Tuesday. I hate feeling so pressured to pass. Good luck to all of you.

Optimism

I may be down for this last test, but I'm not out! I'm not going to let a little speed bump slow me down. I'm going to be speeding through this...safely speeding. Special project, here I come!!!

Grade!

I did better than before on test. I should work hard on tomorrow's and final also, and I know that final has many work to do !!!! I hope you guys all pass out this course. Good luck!

Chapter 7 and 8

Today's test was really mind boggling. I don't think I did as well as our other two tests. We still have one more test and a final exam, if we decide to do it. Good luck everyone; we all need it.

3rd Test

We took our test today and I have a strong feeling that I didn't do too good on it. I hope I do good on my 2nd test tomorrow. Sorry, ladies and gentlemen, it's because of me, why you haven't gotten your 2nd test back. Well see you tomorrow in class. :)

Test!!

We took third test today. Hopfully, I can get the grade what I wanted!!
I choose take final test instead of special project. I hope I won't regret.

Today's lesson

Comparing my last test grade with my new one, I can see I have to amp up my studying time. Our lesson today was pretty interesting, hopefully I remember what we learned today when our final exam comes around.

Cramming

I have quite a lot of studying to do. Aside from this class, I have a lot of upcoming tests to prepare for. Hope I can pull through with them. Good luck everyone!

Potluck

Just thinking about the potluck made me hungry. Please leave a comment if you want a specific drink and I'll try my best to find it.

Tuesday

I didn't do so well on yesterday's test and we have another test tomorrow..

We went over chapter 13 today, it was about compare and contrast. I think it's just the commercial world out there that makes girls like pink and boys like blue. I have three brothers and that basic fact interested me in trucks and water guns at a young age. That was a while back, though.

Hm...I need to allocate more of my time towards this class

Just finished the test and I don't think I did as well as I did from test #1. I hope I can bring my grade back up after this horrid test.

Whoop whoop...another day where I see faces!!!

We went through Chapter 13 and it was a blast. My personal assistant was funny, the class was funny, and just in general, today was funny. It's a good day for me! Too bad though, it's coming to end. Hopefully I could hang with the others after the semester is done, but more than likely everyone is going to do their own thing. So it's great that we have a good bye party...by which, I'm co-something to it. EVERYONE...don't forget to give me the dough ;)

Test...

I thihk I probably need to take the special assignment instead of the fainal test. Taking test is really killing me.

STUDY!

I need to study, study, study, so I can get a good results for tomorrow's test.

2nd Day of The Week..

Today, we went over Chapter 13 on comparison & contrast and did a few exercises. I was able to see my test score from the other day, it wasn't as good as I expected it to be.. Hopefully I'll score better on tommorow's test!!

Tuesday

I have alot of studying to do tonight. Goodluck on the next test everyone! Hopefully we all do well.

How did it go?

How was everyone's second test? I still have not taken mine.

Test Day!!

Today we took test# 2 it was on chapters 5 & 6. I feel that I did pretty good... I can't wait to see my test score!! Good way to start the week.

I wonder

I'm sure everyone is wondering how well they did on our test. I'm pretty disappointed on how well I did on the exam. Hopefully everyone did well. See you all tomorrow!

TEST!

Anxious to know what i got for my test..

Crunch Time

I'm enjoying my Sunday afternoon by taking notes and trying to finish some math homework. Hope everyone does well on the test. Good luck!

Saturday Night...

I hope everyone got some studying in today. I'm trying not to procrastinate on this upcoming test, and hopefully the other ones as well.

What a week...

How did every do with their online sessions this week? It was pretty hard for me to remember about it with all the distractions, but we all have to grow up and be responsible! Hope everyone had a good week!

Test 2 is coming soon...

I hope this time I could do well on the test because I spent times on studying more than before. With the experience of test 1, I think I can do better at test 2.

I can't wait to go back to class on Monday. Enjoy your weekend and be safe everyone.

Goodnight Everyone!

I hope everyone enjoyed this week. I'm relieved to know it's the weekend!

Don't forget to study for the test this Monday! See everyone in class.

We're almost done, but we're not out yet!

Monday comes and it comes with a wrath!!! Don't forget guys, we have class!!! It comes with a TEST!!! So if ANYONE wants to study, check me out Sunday. Have a great weekend everyone, the finish line is within our grasp!!!

TGIF :)

It's finally Friday! I'm starting to feel the kick of momentum within the semester. Looking at the calender, I was surprised to learn that we only have ten days left. Have a good weekend everyone! See you all on Monday! Don't forget about the test on chapters 5 and 6! I know that I have quite a workload of studying to do.

Happy Liberation Day!!!

Happy Liberation Day everyone! Hope you're all enjoying it.

Happy Liberation Day!

Not only is it my birthday but we all get a day off from moodling as well (:

work,work,work

Today I did some reading on Chapter 11 about the cause and effect. I also did some reviewing of the other chapters to refresh my memory. I feel pretty confident for test 2 on chapters 5 and 6. Hopefully I do well!

Busy

Sorry for not posting or replying for awhile. Some workers called in sick or are on their vacation and my manager asked me to cover up for some of them. I'm trying to stay on track. Time should tick just a little slower.

The brain is frying...gotta make it a well done ;)

School...it torments me, but it's good for me. Making my rounds on Blogger and it's good to see that people are still posting. Good job guys!!! I've always kept up my, "Study Group" thing, but everyone tends to sleep in. I feel your tiredness guys, so I won't expect anyone to be an early bird, but if anyone needs help, I'll be in the cafeteria or the library =)

Process Analysis

Today I read the chapter "Process Analysis". And, I keep using it but without knowing it. It's good to understand more in detail that the thing I already been doing it. The example of the essay is interesting as well. I didn't know that I should sharpen a knife before using it. It's a interesting information that I would like to know.

Tuesday

I miss the classroom/computer lab! I try to keep myself focused at home, though.

I hope everyone's getting ready for Monday's test!

Halfway through the week

Trying to make sure I stay on task and keep up with the class blog and moodle sessions. I get paranoid thinking if I have met the daily requirements. I'm starting to miss the face to face interaction. Hope everyone is having a good week though. :)

Good morning!

What a nice day to start my morning by finishing my Moodle blogs.

Monday the 18th

Today was the first moodle session of the week and I'm glad everyone's keeping up. (:
Good job everyone!

Keep up the pace people...

I'm happy to keep up with the pace still. The meet up of today's study group was a little less than expected, but hey, I'm still positive! Gotta keep working to get that "A"!

Start of the week..

Im glad it's Monday! Now I can start fresh with this new week.. Curious to know what's ahead for the learning process. It feels like that days are approaching sooner than I thought it would.

Monday!!

New week is started!! I hope you guys have nice week! And I will work more in study !!

Test

I'm bummed that I got a "B" in my test, but hey like what Peter said, "there are more tests coming up.", so in that case I have to set extra time for reviewing my book, on a daily basis.

It's Friday and a glass of Mascoto sounds good with tonight's dinner. :)

Friday!

I could have ended my Friday with a Bang, but taking my test made me sad.

Relieved

After reviewing my test I was relieved that I manged to pass. I'm really curious about the essays we've submitted.

IMPORTANT!!!

Anyone wants to have a study group? I'm free in the morning and after 8. Give me a heads up.

Test score

Well, it's what I espected- bad. I think I need to study more! At least I know what the test like now...

Friday!

I got my test grade. Sad!!!! I did badly. I have to work harder and harder!! ^^

test grades

ok, so it wasn't what i wanted, but i guess i'll get there.....hopefully!!!!

Last class of the week.

I've definitely missed meeting in an actual classroom. I believe it is a lot more effective in comparison to the moodle sessions.

It's Friday, Friday..

I hope everyone did good on our test. I know I did!

I feel scared for next week because we don't meet each other face to face. I might procrastinate.

My first test and today's lesson.

Surprisingly, I got a "B" on my test. It was not too hard, but still quite challenging. Thank goodness for that extra credit that helped boost my grade higher. On the other hand, we today's lesson was interesting, as usual. It's nice to go over subjects that were fading away in my mind. The exercises are real helpful with my learning experiencing.

How did everyone do on their first test?

Can't wait to go into class tomorrow. I really want to know what I got on my test. Good Night everyone. :)

Another day of moodle...

Well, another day of an online session. I really need to start doing my work in the morning, this after work homework is killing my sleep time. Gotta start practicing those good education habits!!!

the test

A little nervous at first i do not think i aced it but i have confidence that i made the grade. this has to be the most exciting class of the following months!!!!

Finally!!

Yay! I am done with my essay..

Test Tuesday & Moodle Wednesday

I studied the day of our test. Thanks to Rob he tested me. I was impressed on what I soaked into my brain in 30 minutes or less. As in today, Wednesday (Moodle Session), I posted late and didn't really have much time to read, but I'll catch up come Friday morning. Have a nice night everyone and see you Friday. :)

Wednesday

I wish we had class tomorrow, so I could see my test result already! The assignment today was easy. I like responding to everyone's posts. I hope my essay for tomorrow makes sense, I am not so good with evaluating myself.

Moodle Sessions

I found out that study at home isn't easier than what I thought before. I actually spent more time on the book and try to find the best answer and response. It's even harder because nobody explain to you what the true meaning is at the book. It's only me or somebody else feel the same way?

The test

I don't think I do well on this test, but I certainly will do well on the next!

Moodle Online Sessions

I just noticed, we have moodle sessions all throughout next week! I'm getting the hang of these online sessions :) Hmm...I might just consider taking some online courses later on.

Midterm reflection

Brainstorming in the library about our assignment. The Writing Process is very helpful.

Midterm self-reflection

Should we put the following in essay form and according to the guidelines of our 'All about me' essay? Or Just answer the numbered questions?


Address the quality of your work in meeting the following:

1. Full and active attendance

2. Preparation and participation

3. Completion of course requirements

4. Growth in understanding of course content


Given your assessment of your work, what grade do you believe you deserve for this course?

One test down!

Today I took my first test in college! I didn't know what to expect. I was relieved to know that it had a variety of multiple choice and true or false questions. Anxious to know my score.

Missed Monday's class.

Today I missed my class and I feel like I just failed the it. Now I need to get ready for the test. Feel free to share anything you guys did in class. :)

Monday night...one of many!

Well, here I am, on the computer. Tomorrow is the first test, I hope I can remember what I study. I haven't had this feeling in awhile. I'm worried, but anxious at the same time! Here's to tomorrow, cheers!!!

I had submitted my essay and then realized that it wasn't as organized as what I had read on chapter 5. I need help...

Essay

I think I could have done better on my essay. I do not know how to explain my whole life in a minimum of just two pages. I hope I do not get a bad grade on it.

Finished at the due day

Just by writing a essay, I felt my life looks interesting. Probably because it looks shorter... :P

Almost Finished

I just completed my essay, just need to review for our first test tomorrow. Good Luck everyone!

Good day!

Today is a good day to write and essay about myself.

Complete!

Just turned in my essay. Who knew my life could be written on such a small canvas and to think my life has just begun....

Essay

Does the All about me essay have any other restrictions besides being two pages min., double spaced, and 12 pt.? Basically just a freewrite about yourself?

Friday

I'm getting the hang of it, but still needs more work; not meeting my expectations. Which means I have a lot of reviewing to do over the weekend.

Good Day.

Today was very productive. I believe my writing will improve alot because of this course.

Reading And Writing

Today in class, we did the usual reading and writing. Im getting more and more familiar with the writing stages and exercises. Im looking forward to learning about writing essays and choosing topics.

Yee Haw!!

Today we did a lot of reading which I really like, I learn everyday in this class. keep it coming!

Good refresher

Yesterday and today's lessons on the writing process are good refreshers to better my writing. I'm looking forward to our firstmoodle session on Monday! Have a good weekend everyone :)

Keep it coming.

Today we thoroughly went over many topics today. We made our outlines and created a short paragraph following the outline. Keep the information coming so I can effectively write a great essay.

The Pace Is Moving...

Breath in through the nose, out through the mouth...just keep going! Everything is being done to keep up, but one misstep, I'll be playing catch up! Doing good so far, I CAN do this!

The Writing Process

In yesterdays class, it was based on the topic of the writing process. We discussed the 3 different types of stages. In one of the exercises you had to freewrite about a topic that you chose. Freewriting makes me a more effective essay writer because it helps me brainstrom through ideas of topics. I enjoyed class that day, it helped refresh my memory about the basics of writing and starting an essay.

First Week at en100

My first week was very fulfilling and successful. I hope that I will learn more while having fun in this class.

All the exercises we went through today were very interesting and made me more confident in writing papers. Free writing before composing my essay let's the juices of ideas flow through seamlessly. Great review day

Fun, fun, fun!!

Today seemed very normal, we read a lot as usual. Most of the time when reading I tend to get sleepy, but surprisingly I didn't fall asleep today which was very fortunate :)

It's awesome!

I finally can get into the point of the lesson quicker than before. I think it's because we use different classroom. It's really hard to concentrate without facing the teacher. I enjoyed the class today because I learned a lot about writing a thesis. It's always hard for me to write those sentence, but now I get it! I'm really happy about it. And I really appreciated the classmate who sat next to me that encourage me to rise my hand in the class. I will be braver next time! :P

Classroom

Today's class was fun, I enjoy learning in the classroom vs. the computer lab. The computer lab is very distracting. Besides that computers in front of you, the tables are not facing the front. I find it difficult to learn when you are not facing/looking at the teacher. The lesson was pretty simple. I was actually familiar with all the exercises we covered.

I'm looking forward to Monday's moodle session. Goodnight everyone!

Thursday 07/07/2011

Today we learned two stages out of three of the writing process. With stage one of the writing process it consist of strategies that can help, which is freewriting, brainstorming, clustering, and gathering information. Stage two of the writing process deals with writing the controllong idea as a topic (for paragraphs) and thesis (for essays). Along with organizing support that also has listing, clustering, and outlining.

I'm in for a long run with this class. I enjoy dealing with numbers but when it comes to essays; I better work 10 times harder in this class in order to move forward for my other classes.

The writing process showed me new methods before writing an essay such as listing and clustering. Before all I knew was brainstorming, with today's discussion I think I'll be able to use the writing process more effectively.

Today's class

Today's class makes me feel that this is really different from the ELI class. I hardly can follow the tempo of it. Hopefully this problem could be solved by reviewing after school. I really need a lot of practice of reading and writing.

Reflection of todays activity

Today was my first day in EN100 class, and we did a a lot of reading. I already know this summer session is going to be really busy.

Day 2

Today was very interesting. I haven't review today's topics since middle school. Also learning about the mannerisms of the internet was quite intriguing to me cause momma never taught me internet manners. Today was informative and fun.

Class Discussion

Today was very interesting, we discussed about underlining, annotating, outlining, and summarizing. It helped me remember the very little details that I have forgotten.

Reflection

Another day of learning. A lot of reading was done today...it was very insightful. In general, today's lesson was about doing forms of outlines, underlining, using references and ways to write on the internet. I was confused on the most part, but after the discussions, I was able to piece everything later =)

Class Discussion

Interestingly on what I had learned today. Knowing that I am currently working on two essays it's a perfect time for me to revise my assignments.

First Day

Today was the first time I attended college on Guam. The atmosphere is way different compared to the colleges in the Philippines. I'm looking forward to a fun semester with everyone!!!

First Day of Class

I'm not a blogger but I will get used to it. If it's needed to pass this class and move forward to other courses, I got it. On the other hand, excited to learn more in this class.

First task

"A Good Daughter" Essay = ACCOMPLISHED

Welcome to college, right? It was a relief to know that I have a friend in this class (: Another relief was knowing there are online sessions as well. How cool is that?!

I hope everyone enjoyed today as much as I have. See you tomorrow!

My first day in this course!

hello, this my first time to learning English with computer. I hope I can do well at this course.

First day!

Our first day is over! It was a pleasure meeting all of you. I'm looking forward to the next days ahead :)

My first day at En100 at University of Guam

Today we discussed our syllabus by going around the room and reading our syllabus.....I was kind of nervous and reading the syllabus kind of made me confident and made me feel more part of the class. In my introduction I introduced myself and told everyone my major which is in psychology. Hoping I don't forget to blog, I will remind myself daily to blog twice a week....I hope during this Summer to learn the bridges of writing to go off to EN110! Wish me luck!
