Ugh!

This semester needs to end already! Can't handle the work load now. Taking 6 classes per semester is not an easy especially when some of the professors are not good at teaching. Staying up every night to keep up with the work load is killing me but i guess its all worth it at the end. About a month more than done with the semester. let's see how it goes!

See ya!

update about my summer

So far, i have been enjoying my summer. Went to Poconos, dorney park, Washinton, west virginia, and Camping. Its been great. I am loving it just like McDonald. LOL . Weathers been okay, sometime its hot, sometime it rains and sometime its both but nothing can stops me from enjoying my summer.

Camping was fun for me. I finally had chance to spend time with all my friends. it was one hell of an time. It rained but we didnt let it ruin our vacation. Playing vollyball, basketball, football (vince broke the water thingy and the water was constantly coming, no way to stop it LOL. Swimming, taking bath in Delaware River. Hiking, few friends were left out because they left little bit early but...

Everyone cooking together was fun, seating near fire at night, playing crazy drinking games at night (it was fun for me because i don't drink and being only the sober one there watching all drunk people act weird is the most enjoying part).

In Poconos, went horse riding, gun shooting/shooting range, golf, camel beach, enjoyed 2 nights there. In Washington, visited all the Museums, and Monument ( All free, no fee for tickets). in Virginia, went to Krishna temple on mountain.

okay, I'll update rest later....

Grades are In.

So i have gotten my grades for both summer classes and i am very happy to see what i got. I got what i expected and it boosted my GPA.

Now its time to put books aside and ENJOY THE SUMMER!

Agenda for rest of the summer...West Virginia, Washington, dorney park, Hershey park, Poconos, Camping, Ohio, PA, Johns beach, rafting, boat ride, basketball mostly everyday at Vallie park and park drive, temple, shopping, eat, movies, and so on.

End of summer classes!

So today was my last day of classes. These 6 weeks went really fast. Even tho it was really short period of time, i learn totally new language (Spanish). I can now say basic things and communicate little bit in Spanish. Music has always been close to me. Its something that i enjoy a lot. i love to play instruments such as piano, flute, and drum therefore, taking music class was a lot fun for me. Learned little background and history about music and how different musical era influenced music.

earlier today i had final for both, Spanish and music. It went great. Now waiting for grades.....

Summer Session I

So currently im taking 2 summer classes: Spanish and Music! Both classes are going great and are having fun but just little too fast. Waking up at 5AM, 4 days a week in summer is not so enjoyable but its not bad. Spanish class is kind of hard for me because its a new language and to learn it in 6 weeks is not easy but its not bad. weather is really good, a bit of a humid but its not bad. Can't wait til im done with these classes and enjoy my summer.

End of Spring '10

So, today i officially ended my spring 2010 semester. It is 7:45 AM. I pulled my last all nighter today for this semester. Just finished writing paper for Management class. It feels good to be over but than again, i am not so far away from going back to school. Yeah that's right, SUMMER CLASS. Oh man, June 2nd, which is next Wednesday i start my summer class. I am taking 2 classes, Spanish and Music. I hope that goes well. So i have 1 good week to enjoy it before i bust my A$$ again...lol

By the way, i did really horrible in my Finance Final yesterday. It was really really bad, like i don't think the material we learned in class was on it. The questions were too long, was giving irrelevant information which confuses you like crazy and time consuming. anyways....

I am sleepy because i haven't slept whole night but yeah i don't wanna sleep because if i do than i am sure i won't be able to wake up til around 6-7PM which is bad because than i won't be able to sleep whole night and this cycle will continue so yeah, you got the point. lol

anyways, i just wanted to blog this since i haven't posted from last 2 weeks...

now off to park, run around little bit, come back, take shower, eat, and go outside?... C YA!

Someone's Else Project

I was very impressed by the presentation done by my fellow classmates and the topics they have picked. Three presentation that i personally liked a lot was:

1) "New Media and Teens" by Michael Chai
2) "Impact of New Media on Advertising" by Mobin Tariq
3) "Virtual Worlds" by Nadia Ayusheyeva

In Micheal's presentation, he discussed about how much media is exposed to teens and the causes of the uprising of new media in a teen's life. Teen spends great amount of time online about 8 hours a day by just looking at pictures, listening music, playing games, watching video and so on. About 24% time average teen between 8-18 year old, spend on SN and about 18% playing games. These impacts on their education, because these heavy user spends a great amount of time on SN and related work and does not focus on school work and therefore they do bad in school.

In Mobin's presentation, he discusses about the impact of new media on advertising. He discussed how before advertising was done in print publication such as newspaper, magazine and so on and still being done but because of increased in new media technology, it is more effective to advertise online. One of the reason is because it's inexpensive, increases revenues, you can directly connect to you market/consumer, and of course, global availability

In Nadia's presentation, she talked about the different perspectives of virtual worlds. She first discussed about the use of virtual world in educational field such as computer programing tutorials, colleges can have virtual libraries, they can have meeting spaces for online university courses, and can use for military training.

Than she moved on to discussed how businesses can use virtual world. Businesses can use virtual world for marketing, recruiting, meetings and collaboration, job training, and research and development.

Each presentation done by the students are very helpful. They each provides us unique information about how new media features are used today than in the past.
