Holiday's are around the corner

Oh how I love the holiday season! I love family get together and the food. Holidays are the days when my family and relatives get together and just enjoy the day. Thanksgiving is on Thursday and I can't wait for the turkey. In my opinion, I think that thanksgiving is all about love, thanks, and happiness. I am really thankful for my family. I can't live with them or without them. Xmas is just 25 more days after thanksgiving and I can't wait either. I want to put up the tree already, but my sister told me to wait a little more. Happy Holidays....

Peer Mentor and Senior interview

I really liked having upper division students in our class on Wednesday. I learned a lot from them such as getting to know people and getting connection. That's what we have been learning this whole semester about getting into the network and etc. The peer mentor talked about the peer mentor program while the senior talked about getting to know the campus and the people. They also talked about the 4 year plan. I think that it was a good idea to get them into the class to talk to us frosh.

Chapter 12 “Explore Careers”

I want a career that makes me happy and that I can make a lot of money. I also want to be able to have fun while I’m working. I don’t want to wake up everyday and be mad at myself that I have to work. I’m very helpful, friendly, quick learner, dependable, and hard working. My ideal job is to work with children or in an office with a lot of people. I don’t want a boring office job, but a fun and active office job. I have great listening and teamwork skills. As for writing and speaking, it’s in the middle. As long as I land a job that I really love, that’s all that matters. Even if I won’t make a lot of money, I will still be stratified with the career I land in the future. I just need to make enough and a little extra to own a car, house, and enough to pay my bills.

Chapter 11 “Be a Great Money Manager”

Money, money, money, I love money. But sadly, I have no money because college is very inexpensive, NOT. I don’t think I spend too much money because I don’t. That’s not one of the reasons why I’m broke. I’m lucky that I don’t have a credit card because there the interest rates on that thing are ridiculous! My mom told me to never charge anything on a credit unless it’s an emergency. Using a credit card at the mall isn’t an emergency. My uncle has been using his credit card since forever and it has been building up. He owes more than what he spends, so this makes me not want a credit card. I will only use it for medical emergency or something useful. Open a bank account that has a checking and savings. Start to save money, so when there’s a real emergency, you can use that instead of the credit card. Credit card may be tempting to have because you can charge it anywhere and buy anything. Bad part that college students don’t understand is that the credit card companies have interest rates.

Movie

I thought that recording the video that my group made was very easy. It's the editing part that was hard because our computer couldn't get the video. So we had to go to IRC. What didn't work well during the process of editing the video was that there was sound on the orginal tape, but when we tried to import it onto the computer, the sound wasn't there. But that was only for one clip. But all in all, making the video was fun.
