Muse Workshops #2
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI), attended 9/15: This workshop help me realize so many ways to be safe when having intercourses with my partner. The instructor showed us that not just males can wear condoms but also females can, so theres no excuse there in not wearing a condom. STI can be transfered into others by simply rubbing on to other skin who is infected. STI's can also be transmitted oraly. The instructed also explained to us that when having oral sex she recommends us to use a flavored condom, which is only used for oral sex. The instructor explained to us the difference between a virus and an infection, and the difference was that a virus cannot be cured, but a infection or disease can be cured. The intructor stated that women show no symtoms when infected by a STI, but the male does indeed show a symtom because its the same hole they urinate out of. We were also told that if women don't get checked for STI and they do happen to have one, its possible that they can have a miss carriage. The main conclusion the instructor told us was that both partners should get tested befor they start to have sex.

interview a senior!
I interviewed JP Moua who is going to graduate in May 2010. I ask JP if what they experienced college actually was what he thought and his response was yes. JP said that all he thought about going into college was partying and still stay focused in school. JP came into college with an undeclared major. He said that he never took the time to actually think what he really wanted to do with his life, he just knew he wanted to finish college. JP gave me some advie and he told me to not party to much because it does sometimes take over you. So i took into that.
I also intgerviewed james McCabe who is graduating in May 2010. I ask him how their college experience has changed from what he planned and his response was that he tries not to go out a lot and rather stay focused in school. James came to college wanting to graduate in business accounting, and he told me that he has sticked with it through out college and it was very tuff, but worth it. His advise to me was to stick to what my senses tell me and to never second guess myself.

Scholarly Journal Article Summary: Marvin Gaye
Scholarly Journal Article Summary
In the article, “ Trouble Man: The Art and Politics of Marvin Gaye,” by Neal, Mark Anthony, published in 1998, he explains the depressed situations Gaye goes through the 70’s and how one of his songs, “ What’s going on,” reflects to the black protest movement. Marvin Gaye was one of the most romantic Motown singers during his era, which drew peoples attention with his marvelous lyrics. During his career with Motown, he teamed up with Tammi Terrell, which where only put together to make one single hit song, but later on ended up making duets with her until her death came along. After Tammi’s death Gaye went down hill from that because he was so depressed. Following Tammi’s death, Gaye’s brother, Frankie, died in the Vietnam war, which put him even more down. There was a period when Gaye didn’t make a hit for a while. Marvin Gaye came out with a hit, “ what’s going on,” which indicated the changing in the black protest movement. James brown would also join Gaye in a hit that speaks towards the movement. It affected Gaye in a way that his hit, “ what’s going on,” put him on the spotlight talking about his opinions and what he’s seeing as a child in that song. His hit made the society into a diverse one, letting people know that being diverse is the way to be and fighting shouldn’t be the situation.

Non-Muse event #1
Love Fest: Hmm what can I say about this? Well lets just say that it is the wildest thing I have ever been to. Love fest was like being in a porn video, there was naked people from left to right, not giving a damn what others say. Love fest is for people who really like to get down and dirty, oh and have lots of fun. There was lots of music playing and people getting high and drunk. From my perspective, love fest was like being in a whole different world because all I saw was people in weird costumes and just having the time of their life. Love fest, to me, is a place where if you dont care what others say about you then thats your spot.

music memories #2
As I interviewed my dad, Fernando, I knew that he would be the type of youngster that he would be. My dad was the type of person who loved to party and go to dances, when ever he had a chance. He grew up in a very small town in Mexico, which consisted of about 1000 population, which isn't as bad as you think, i know from experience. My dad also grew up in a very poor family and wasn't the most elegant looking in his town, but he always pulled it off( he says).
I asked my dad what his favorite singer of all time was, and his response is Vicente Fernandez, who is probably the most know Mexican singer of all time. My dad said that listening to Vicente Fernandez was like repeating his life. My dad said that Vicente and him had so much in common such as being poor, going through relationships, hollering at girls, and just doing as much as possible while you are young. My dad also liked to listen to Pedro Infante because he sang about really deep stuff and related to my dad. So he liked to listen to his music because it gave him comfort.
Now my dad had, and still does, a wild side to him. He was telling me that he loved to dance and especially with the women. My dad said that he was liked by the women because of his dance moves and his good looks of course. Now dancing music in Mexico isn't the same like how it is here in America. In Mexico there's a type of music that is dancing music to the Mexican population, and it's called Banda music. My dad's favorite banda to dance to were Los Bukis, which do not exist anymore. My dad said that once he heard them play he would get the getter's and would always be the first to dance and would make his friends grab a girl and join along. My dad said that at dances he was never shy to get the party started because all he thought about was having a good time with girls and his friends.
My dad explained to me that when he was younger he was very poor and couldn't afford much. Now concerts back in the day were some what expensive, but to my dad it was too much for him. Concerts were outside of my dad's town and would be a couple of hours away. When there would be a big concert my dad would save up money and go with all his friends, and would all go in the smallest truck possible (I began to laugh when he told me that). Los Bukis would be the only concerts he would go to because he loved them, and because he didnt have much. He said that those concerts where always fun because there would be lots of dancing with the women.
My dad's taste in music hasn't changed much since, but now all he listens to is Vicente Fernandez, which has caught on to me. My dad's type of music compared to mine have nothing in common. We both come from two different countries and have our differences of course. Growing up to what my dad listens to does catch up on you and it just gets catchy.

Muse Workshop #1
Conflict Managment; attended 9/14. This workshop was concerned with conflicts between roommates of situations itself. They said that if you and one of your roommates have a conflict, you should notify the RA asap. If your going to do drugs, like weed or drink alcohol, you should do it outside of campus and dont be dumb doing it on campus and get caught. They said to always notify someone if there's a problem, because if you dont then the situation will get worse and then you will get in an even worse situation.
study tip #3
One thing I like to do when I study is, I like to go in to a quiet room and study my notes in peace with no interruptions. It helps a lot when trying to concentrate on something.
