Dear class,

Today i was late to class. I should have gotten here early but as I was looking for parking a firetruck pulled into an intersection and I was stuck on the street. I was not sure what to do, the only way I saw out of there was on the sidewalk and I did not think it would be a good idea to drive on the sidewalk. I am disappointed  that I missed the presentation because the discussion sounded interesting from the door but I am glad i made it to some of the class because I wanted to have a chance to talk to my group.

Thanks

Jose Guerrero

My teammates and I are working on the group work now. Unlike it in programming class, the group work in writing class is much more difficult. From choosing the topic to prepare the presentation, a lot of work there need to do. For our group, we just decided the topic. That was the first step.

right now my mins is all over the place that I can’t seem to settle in one thing to discuss. I have erased this mini mindful discussion at least five times, would be six but he just gave the all proverbial statement ” Ok guys just a few more minutes and finish up” which mean this wont be deleted and it will be posted. But yes I am thinking about too many things right now … to be continued.

Every month I set a personal goal for myself and this month I wanted to disconnect from technology. My goal is very simple interact with 100 strangers before this month ends. In my attempt to accomplish this goal I noticed I often judge an individual before approaching them. I try to guess what topic they’ll most likely want to talk about or if they’re friendly or not. Doing this challenge has been an eye opener because I learned my judgement of people are very inaccurate. I also noticed some questions can offer up an interesting conversation like “are you happy in life?”

Today is presentation day. There’s supposed to be a two student’s presentation day today but, because one of them dropped the class it’s going to be one presentation. This day is always a fun day because you don’t know what are you going to learn about through their papers. Almost all the previous topics were very interesting, and even though you don’t expect to learn a lot from them, you actually do. So im looking forward to the next presentation.

Like most group projects, this is one is annoying. I am the group leader and its hard to get people to respond  in a timely manner or even to respond at all to the group emails. We have finally decided on an idea. Hopefully things will get a lot easier from here.

So I started an Internship yesterday at a DOE school in the Bronx. The night before I didn’t sleep well at all, I guess it was a bit of anxiety. My job is a Tech Support assistant, my job duties on the first day were to login to the computers before the students come in and start the day.  I helped organized the laptop carts and made sure their respective AC adapters were plugged in to charge. I met my supervisor,  some staff members, and the principal. So my day yesterday was a long but pretty good day.

Did I mention how much I didn’t like group work? Well I don’t. I like working at my own pace. I like procrastinating, and then picking up steam at night when everyone is asleep, spreading out the research I have printed out, proofread, and underlined, and going to work on my works cited page. That’s the first page I work on. Then I work on my introduction. That takes a bit of time to get my thoughts together. But once I get that down, I’m ready to work on the meaty part of the work, intertwining the research into my words. Then unto my conclusion. Group work doesn’t allow for this. I’ll need to work with others. Sheesh.

Through group work, we can learn from each other. we share ideas and make new friend, otherwise, we don’t  talk each other. so far my group work perfect. I believe that we have fantasy final project and presentation.

I was extremely happy that I received an A on the instruction manual assignment. Out of all of the assignments this was the hardest to plan for but the easiest to write. Since I was able to choose something I was comfortable writing about I was able to really write without worry. My biggest worry when writing this assignment was the formatting and making it look like a manual. In contrast writing the expanded definition was much much more difficult to the point where I did not have that same confidence while writing. I almost wish I could write a second instruction manual in lieu of editing the first and second paper because I believe I would enjoy that more. Exactly in one month I will not be in the mood for any writing because it’ll be summer break and oh how I love summer break. The break where you can do as you please because you will not be required to any academic planning until August. The joy I feel for summer break can only be matched by my love for pizza.
