2nd week of September

September  10th

Today in class we took some notes, and learned to diagram a sentence! Fun? Nope!

Yeah, not fun... On any level. It is confusing and to tell the truth, quite annoying.

Now, as you can tell. I have very strong views on this particular subject this week.

Yep, Don't like it, but now it is putting a damper on my mood. So let's change the subject, shall we?

Our blogs! Since we still are blogging.

Ms. Payseur decided since we ended up having short classes last Friday, that we would finish our blogs today, but since I had finished mine last Thursday, I really had nothing to do until we moved on.

As we have been doing, we commented and posted constructive criticism on our partners blogs.

Do you remember how I spoke about my post, sounding like a flame?

I know for a fact,hat mine did not this time. Even, if it did, I had rights to flame that post. For one: it had a paragraph long run-on sentence.

This is horrid! What are you? A bloody child? Was what my first reaction had been.(yes, that is my British typing accent.)

I mean, overall it wasn't that awful. I just just quite curious, on how some of my readers reactions would be. If I were to type in a British accent; But to return on topic, mainly it's just that it was not as, awful as most have been, but it was still quite lengthy.

Another thing, is that my partner never subscribed to my blog. (as far as my knowledge goes)

September 11th

Now, I was absent for Ms. Payseur's class today, so I can at least tell you, what I had done up to that point.

So my school day (since you all must be so interested) began around 8:15, and ended half-way through second period.

So my first period class was my college class, and we did not do much.

What we did consisted of the following: Reviewing our grades; Since some of us have yet to know others names, we did a little introduction.

 Which stated our interests and a few things that we are looking forward to, and that's about it for that class.

Now my next class History; Man, that sure was something. Honestly I'm just surprised that I had not fallen asleep during it.

We spent as far as I know, the entire time watching a video on nine/eleven, and taking notes on it.

But then right when it started to gain my interest. (Note my sarcasm)

I had to leave... Dang, You won't believe how 'disappointed I was'.

There you now know what I had done on nine/eleven.

Since, this is relatively short. I believe I should tell you about my writing, since it is a big part of my life.

As you all probably know, I do write as a hobby, and I have recently came across a *plotbunny that refuses to leave my mind.

This happens to be a fan fiction regarding the Japanese anime and manga Death Note.

A photo of  L from the anime/manga Death Note, available at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/arenarena/4590518774/ 

photo was published online: May 9th, 2010.

That concludes the section for nine/eleven.

*- Plotbunny- A plotbunny is what writers online, call ideas that they have, that are distracting from works that they are already writing. 

 September 12th-13th

Today, we ventured into the wonderful world of animoto!

Yes, animoto. I can honestly say that it was pretty fun!
We, made a video about online citizenship, which you know is a pretty big deal.

See? That above is my wonderful video; Don't you believe that it is quite amazing?

Now do you remember how I hated on Prezi? Well, this is much easier to use.

The only other thing that we did, was our current event. Which as it was last week, is available on this blog in the archives.

That concludes what happened, within the time span of two days.

September 14th

Since, I have been reluctant to give a summery of what my Friday's have been like, I believe it would be interesting to at least do it once.

So we did something different in our first period class; Which was not a college class today, and that was explore the Gaston College Campus Library. If you would like to know more about it, just click the hyperlink.

Since the rest of my day was relatively normal, and most of what we had learned was of minor importance.

Until next week.

The First Week of September!

September 5th 2012

Today, we did as much as the other classes would do, take notes; Shocker! I know right?!

Well yeah, We had also reviewed our stems for the week.

Now, most of you probably do not know what stems are. So just to be kind, I will tell you.

Stems: Usually prefixes, suffixes and root words that we memorize as vocabulary words.

Yes, our teacher is amazing... I mean hey, some teachers will just throw your words at you, tell you to memorize them, and know what all of them mean in about two days.

But Ms. Payseur is not like that, because she is amazing!!!! (Do I use that word too much?)

Now back to what we did!

We did some peer editing! Which if you don't know, is when our teacher randomly selects two or in some cases three people to group up and edit each others blogs.

Well not really edit, more like constructive criticism; But nice. Not like flamming or anything... 
But to be honest I'm positive that mine sounded like a flame, since I pointed out all these grammatical errors.... but I'm a 'Grammar Nazi' as people call it.

The thing is, I can spot other people's errors. Just not my own... weird huh?

Well anyways, I feel like demonstrating my amazing intellectual abilities by using some of the words, or 'stems' in sentences.

Nah, I change my mind I think I'm going to use a few words in ways that all of us who play ' *MMORPG, **LARP, ***RPGS' can understand.

So apparently the phrase that we know all too well '****n00b, or noob' is derived from a real word, and that word is: Neophyte!

Honestly, when our teacher asked what we thought the word meant, I was thinking: What is this mess? Is that supposed to be some fancy rock or something?

So we can now pretty much come to the conclusion, that my mind works in strange ways....

Now, I can also say that there are not many things to hate on this time.

Because you all know how I totally hated on Prezi, and copyright. (See it's only one word! Got it right this time!)

 Nor are there many things for me to praise, since school is just blah.

Definitions of nerdy words that you may, or may not know.
*- MMORPG: A MMORPG is short for Massively Multi-player Online Role-Playing Game(s).
**-LARP: LARP or LARPing, is short for Live Action Role-Playing.
***-RPG: Is short for  Role-Playing Game.
****- N00b: Is a common term on the Internet for those who are 'newbies' or are new to something. Whether it be a website, or video game.


Now here are some pictures!!!!!
Note, the pictures of the cosplays (Or the pictures of people dressing up.) do not belong to me in anyway!


Photo of Jennifer Watts cosplaying 'Poison Ivy from Batman'. The cosplay was also made by Jennifer herself, taken in Orlando, Florida. The Photo was taken by: Wayne Warsden, Photo is not available to the public without permission from Jennifer, and it was used on September 5th 2012.
*Please note that Jennifer asked me to link her name to her YouTube,where some videos and tutorials on cosplays can be found. Also the second and third time her name is used, I linked it to her DeviantArt Page where her photo can also be found, and please note that I obtained this photo by both her and Mr.Warsden's permission.

Now that the credits are out of the way, The picture above would be an example of what someone would do when LARPing. That meaning, that they would dress up as the character that they would want to LARP.

September 9th 2012 

Today in class we learned more about grammar. Yeah, sounds fun? No!

Just no... But I did learn some things... Some of them boring.. Well a lot of them boring, but still. Some day in life I'm probably going to have to use this.... Just not at this moment.

Wait.... I do write, so maybe it will be useful; Now I think about it, I really pity my *BETA. 

Well if I had one, I would pity them... but yeah, I don't.

So yes, more about grammar. 

Now after that, we posted a current event. Which can be found through my blog on the side in the archives. Yeah, its not much... but whatever.

Well most people worked on them in class, but like the smart person I am. I did mine the 5th. See? Always thinking ahead.

Oh! We also learned about e-mail etiquette... Yes, apparently there is a special way in which you are to e-mail.

But what I think of that? It is a bunch of crap.

Why? Because it's freaking e-mail! That's what texting and calling is for.

Pssh, I'm not going to waste the amazing invention that Alexander Grambell invented for e-mail!

But, in some cases... e-mail is useful.

In my case, I have a friend who lives overseas, and when I say overseas I mean... Middle-East.

Now, don't start hating. Because, she lives way down south in Oman or Yemen, and for future reference... because I'll probably be mentioning her a lot; She used to live in England and is my 'twin'.

Yes, her and I are so alike we call each other twin, twinnie, etc.

But....... Yep, e-mailing her is about all learning etiquette is useful for, and even then she just wouldn't care.

That now concludes what we did today.

Now, are there any ways that I can demonstrate what we've done in class? Kinda, I can randomly put some sentences down... and add amazing pictures that relate to them.

Yeah, I'm just going to do that.

Examples:

Link took a fighting stance before the monster.



Photo of Link from Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess, available at http://www.flickr.com/photos/14200314@N02/1738268039/sizes/m/in/photostream/ , Date: October 24th 2010.

 Um, now that is the only example that I will give. Only because I am being lazy today.

Um, and now that I think about it. We had also learned about Google Reader..... Yeah, that was boring too, but a little useful as well.

Now time for the hating, and lovin'!

I honestly thought that learning about e-mail etiquette was a waste of time,  but the last part of it, which was about spam and stuff was interesting.... But that's it.

Today, there is nothing for me to love on... Sorry.

Until next time... or week.
