Non-Muse Event Extra Credit: Residence Hall Assistance: Quorum!

I attended this non-muse event on Dec. 1st at 8:30pm. This meeting concern about housing at SJSU. Students got the chance to raise their voices and say what they felt about our housing tuition going up. At the meeting people where asking questions such as why our fees were going up and why is there so much to pay. Students where also concerned about fires, like the one that happened about 3 weeks ago in the Joe West building, and what could help prevent from happening again. A lot of the Students questions got answered, but we the students were still confused about tuitions on housing going up. Overall I left the meeting with some sort of positive information.

Extra credit option #3; My learning style!

My learning style has been a very helpful strategy because it has helped me in class and has made me pay attention and also get the point of the material handed out. I have come to realize that I am a visual learner. In order for the material being taught to stay in my head it would have to be shown on the board. For example math, I cannot learn math if someone explained it to me by words, I have to see it written or else I will never get it. Having to write down the assignment helps me and my skills get an idea of what I have to do. My learning habits have been the same since I could remember and I have been successful at learning in that style. I have tried to use other strategies such as logic learning because I like to have a very detailed answer to my question. Before attending SJSU I never asked questions, but now that I am here and it is a difficult level I have made myself frequently ask questions because I like to know if I'm doing it correctly. I have tried audio learning and that has not been successful. What I would like to learn is hands on things because I like to get involved with hands on things such as fixing cars or building things.

Muse Workshops report #3

Attended muse workshop " All you ever wanted to know" on 9/15/09.
In this workshop many questions were asked about the students concerns on their first year in college. The people who set up that workshop consisted of real professors because they wanted to let us, the ones who attended the workshop, know what they thought in person .There was questions being asked such as, what would be the right way to email an instructor or what were the instructors thoughts on late work. Many of the questions asked were mostly on the professors point of view. There where other concerns such as asking for help on peer review and counseling for students with situations. The were other questions that talked about first impression on the professor and how the student should not disrespect the professor. The professors were saying that they like a student who turns in all their homework on time, listens in class, and participates in class. Overall in this workshop I heard what I needed to hear, and also a good impression on the professors.

Non-Muse event #2

I volunteered to go to the non-muse event on tuesday Nov.10 which was, Budget Cuts Town Hall. They were basically explaining to the students that for the years to come they are going to be rough because us students are being limited to our units and other students who are applying for next semester are not going to be able to be accepted. These budget cuts have limited us to do very little and seniors are being forced to graduate because they are not needed here anymore. Also these budget cuts have limited students from wanting to get a class, but they can't because not many classes are being offered.

moment that changed R'n'R!!

I chose the rock 'n'roll band "Kiss" and I explained how they were a very demand like group that brought out a very hard metal style. Also they were seen in comic books and where in animated show on NBC.

Lyric Analysis!!!

Who Wants To Live Forever, Queen

In the song, " Who Wants To Live Forever," by Queen states that love can only last for so long and that love should be appreciated while it lasts. Queen puts in great passion in this song because people don't take an advantage of everyday life and people forget about their surroundings. It's sending out a message to others to make everyday like your last day because today isn't guaranteed tomorrow.
Queen tends to be out there a lot more than other rock bands and they write songs about real life goals and conflicts. In there song, "Who Wants to Live Forever," Queen sings about a couple coming to reality and living their lives to the fullest. Queen also explains in that song that "lives have one moment already set aside for them", but they don't know if it is good or not it is just a big surprise and they shouldn't do something that could possibly ruin what they have. Also they explain that living forever isn't for everybody because if you live forever and done everything possible then why still live? Everyday should be a romantic day and a loving attitude towards your partner.
This song has a very deep meaning to it because it implies that lives can only last for so long and then there is nothing left. People should appreciat their days a lot more and should always be happe because who knows when their last day could be.

Talking about Drugs!!

Movies impersonate college very good. Movies do a good job in showing the crowd how frats party and how tailgating is. Coming to college for your first year, you tend to expect to party and drink. You also expect to meet new friends and people who have connections with any drug available.
The most common drug to the college crowd is of course the hard liquor and beer. College people drink at every party and expect someone to get very drunk and start to puke all over the house. During college parties people are going to offer that someone a beer and expect them to drink it, but if they see that they don't then they see that person not drinking the beer as not fitting in with that crowd who gets wasted. Wether you like it or not, beer is going to be handed to you at parties.
Weed has to be smoked by every college kid at least once through out their college career. Weed is everywhere in college wether its in your dorm or at a party, and someone is going to convince a person to take a puff to experiance the relaxation it gives you. Weed has to be the easiest drug to get a hold of at any age and its not that expensive.
The college crowd have it the easiest to consume some sort of drug because someone knows all the connections when trying to get a hold of these drugs and it's available to everyone, you just got to ask and it's there, but remember to watch how much you drink and what you drink.
