First assignment, getting to know me.

Some interesting facts about me are that I love to smile, no matter what the situation is. I am having a baby boy in a couple of days and I am so excited to start my life with him. I have an identical twin sister, we think and feel the same things and we even say phrases at the same time. I chose this class because I love to write and read. I thought that the Vampire Novel would be interesting. I have always read books that have love stories in them, but I think that suspense is the best part of a book and in this Vampire Novel will have great suspense. I don't really have one specific novel that I love but I do have one movie that I specifically like, it is The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks. I like how its a true story of an older couple but is played out by two great young actors. I find myself drawn to books with suspense and also love stories, alot of times I feel like a good book always has great suspense. The suspense makes me want to hurry and read to the very end of the book so I can find out what happens! I have taken a literature class in highscholl were we read Romeo and Juliet, it help me understand poetry better. I also took a composition class in my first year of college. It helped me alot with my writing skills. I feel like this class will be different in the fact that we will combine our reading and writing skills. I think there will be less communication like we would have in a classroom but we might have group work. I think that an online class is great because you can easily keep in touch with students and the teacher via email. I don't have much knowledge about vampires. I think I will bring good ideas and I am always open to other peoples opinions! I am involved in facebook and skype online. I find it to be positive. I have alot of experience with online communication. I think it is a great way to keep in touch with family and friends and also to meet new people.

I would love to go to the Bahamas because I have never been out of the country and I would love to go to the beach and just have a few drinks and relax. I also would love to go scuba diving. I love to try new things!

I like http://www.facebook.com/ because I keep in contact with my friends and family and also with other students that are in my classes so if I have a question, or there is group work we can keep in contact through facebook.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVBsypHzF3U - This link is to Lady Gaga song featuring Beyonce. I think that Lady Gaga is just so unique and different and her music is great. I just like how here music is. I just can't compare her to anyone. I think this video is interesting because its talking about making time for your friends and not always being with your boyfriend, that is how I percieve the viedo.



I like New Moon because it always has a twist to every movie they have made yet, and the movie keeps you wanting to just keep watching it! It has been my first time watching a vampire movie. I think that the action is just so amazing.

  2. Congratulations on your baby boy! I want to see pics! Have you picked out a name yet?

    I actually had my little girl last January, and I was teaching an online class at the time. It was tough, but the nice thing about online classes is that you can work for 20 minutes, feed the baby, work for another 20 minutes, feed the baby, sleep, etc.
