I do agree with Patricia Ryan.  I do think knowing more than one language is a very good thing.  I think it is very important to know more than one language.  "A language dies every 14 days" -Patricia Ryan.  It is very important to be able to communicate with people throughout the world.  It can help you now and later on in life.  "English is now a massive international business" -Partricia Ryan.  Communicating with people from different cultures and countries can be very beneficial.  I am now going to actually try and learn and become fluent in a second language.  Not only can it help you at jobs and becoming successful, it can help you at all ages.

First blog

Este verano, yo comi fritos oreos.  Muy delicioso.  Yo fui a la playa. Yo fui a un concierto Lil Wayne.  Yo fui a Pennsylvania para visitar familia.  Yo fui a casa de mis amigas.  Celebre mi cumpleaños de un Jaimie.  Yo fui a la hospital.  Yo hice nuevos amigos.  Yo tuve el mejor verano.

My poem:
Me gusta practicar deportes.
Me gusta comer.
Me gusta correr.
Me gusta patinar.

 

Anhelo Su Boca, Su Voz, Su Pelo

Anhelo su boca, su voz, su pelo.
Silencioso y muerto de hambre, rondo a trav�s de las calles.
El pan no me alimenta, amanecer me interrumpe,
yo busca todo el dia para la medida l�quida de sus pasos.

Tengo hambre de su risa lisa, sus manos el color de una cosecha salvaje, hambre para las piedras p�lidas de sus u�as,
yo deseo comer su piel como una almendra entera.

Deseo comer el rayo de sol que se�ala por medio de luces en su cuerpo encantador, la nariz soberana de su cara arrogante,
yo deseo comer la cortina ef�mera de sus latigazos,

y establezco el paso alrededor de hambriento, oliendo el crep�sculo,
caza para usted, para su coraz�n caliente,
como un puma en los barrens de Quitratue.

I really can't pick out any words. I just like the way the words flow together when I attempt to say them in spanish. I really don't know why the squares are in the words. It won't let me take them out...sorry!

5th blog

If I could go anywhere I would go to Spain. I would spend 2 weeks there in Madrid. I would stay in the Hotel Villa Magna. I would stay in the nicest suite they have. I would eat at Miyama restaurant And eat pollo con salsa verde. For desert I would have glam. I would visit Vintage Spain and takenthe Segway tours, visit all of the cathedrals that I can in the two week time period, visit museums and the parks of Madrid. Then after a long and fun trip make my way back home to the united states.

third blog.

I think everyone in the world is swayed by what they see in their everyday lives.  Peer pressure is all around and when people are constantly telling us to do the wrong, we can't help ourselves but to fall into the pressure of our peers.  I think that the media lies about what really happens in the world everyday.  That they only feed people news that they want them to know, not what they are "supposed" to know.  The media has some truth, but they work around the truth; by telling stories that are brief and not much in detail.  I think to overcome this, everyone needs to listen to their conscience and do what is right to them.  Not listen to other people who want to do wrong and make others pay for their own mistakes.  Everyone in the world has a mind of their own and everyone can speak for themselves and do not need others to speak for them.  I think almost everyone in the world cares what other people have to say, whether they deny it or not.  We all do, why hide it; maybe one day it'll make people realize words can truely impact on people negatively and positively. 

Kelsey's second blog

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/centralamericaandthecaribbean/honduras/8245430/Eight-shot-dead-in-Honduras-bus-attack.html

       On January 3, 2011 there was a bus attack that led to having 8 dead.  Some witnesses said that the supposed suspect demanded the bus to pull over.  But when the driver failed to listen, the gunman impailed the bus with non-stop gun-fire.  Out of the eight that died, there was a child and two babies.

      I think that the man who killed those innocent eight people should be senteced to the death penelty, if caught.  On the other hand, I was not aware this happened.  I don't think this event will effect me in anyway.  I just think people should think about the outcome before they decide to go around killing people. 

Kelsey's first blog entry

What do you hope to do this semester?
A)  Academically I hope to get straight "A's" and move up higher with class rank.  I'm hoping my GPA will be atleast a 3.75 or higher.  Varsity soccer is another one of my goals this semester,  I was on varsity my freshman year; though I'm hoping to stay on it.

What are you thoughts about blogging?  Have you ever done this before?  How do you think this could be a useful tool?
B)  My thoughts about blogging are that it is very interesting and I want to continue to learn more about it.  No, I have never blogged before, though i have heard about it from many people and seen people use it.  I think its useful because you can learn more about people and you can go back and look and see how much you have improved as an individual.

Is there anything you want me to know as we progress through the semester?
C)  I'm hoping to do my best in learning how to speak, spell and learn the spanish heritage. And get an excellent grade to help boost my GPA.
