Rules Of This Blog

Because the WWW can often be thought of as a "Wild West", I thought it'd be a good idea to set some ground rules about what is acceptable and what isn't. Violation of any of these rules is just as serious as any other school policy infraction.

1. BE RESPECTFUL. Don’t say anything to offend others. Any degrading, offensive, or insulting comments will result in you receiving zeros for your assignments and eventually being banned. Also, do not comment-spam other people.

2. NO ANONYMOUS COMMENTS. You must be logged in. Any posts where I’m grading you cannot be anonymous (obviously). Actually, you have to be a member of this blog to post, and I'm the only one who can invite.

3. STAY ON TOPIC. Stick to the discussion.

4. CLEAN UP YOUR WRITING. Even though this is a blog, it is a CLASS blog. While I don’t expect you to be formal the way you would in an essay, you should try to tidy up your spelling and grammar as much as possible. NO “TEXT SPEAK.”

5. NO EXCESSIVE GRAPHICS. Only post videos/photos where appropriate, and even then, use discretion.

Alyssa Valle

My top three colleges are California state university Monterey Bay, Sacramento state, and San Francisco state university. The reason i chose California State university Monterey Bay because the ive been to the school and i feel in love with it. The school is relatively small and i want to go to a smaller school. The school is a really nice and new and i love the town its near. The town is near the beach and is very homie feeling. i also picked sacramento state because ive heard alot of great things about the school. it seems fun and spirted and seems like a good school. i also have family members in sacramento so it would be nice to live near them. San Francisco is on my top because the school was very modern and new. the campus life was very lively and seemed like fun. sfsu is in my options because its not to far from home but is far enough from home. i like sfsu because its pretty close to the city and would be nice to be near

Patricia Agraz

My top colleges are University of Oregon,http://www.uoregon.edu/ University of San Diego,http://www.sandiego.edu/ and San Jose State http://www.sjsu.edu/. i want to go to those places because the have a good sports management program. When i grow up i want to be a sports agent. I also want to go to the University of Oregon because I've always wanted to be a duck. They have a good football team and my life revolves around football. I also want to live in a state where there is no tax. I want to do to San Diego because it is a pretty campus and and has a lot of beautiful people. Then i would go to San Jose because they also have a good program and its a state school. I would want to live in downtown San Jose. It's a city that is not to big but big enough to get the city life feeling. Those are my three top schools i want to go to.

mayra alvarez

my first choice is San Jose State.its close from home. i have a good chance getting in. i like the school. i have visited the school before and it like it. my second choice is San Francisco State. i have already visited the school. it has a nice campus. i have a good chance getting in that school. San Francisco is a nice city. it is not far from home. my third choice it is CSU monterry bay.its small school.it has a nice campus.

Jessica Peregrino

My first choice to go to is SJSU because it is a nice campass and I feel like I can find my way around there. My second choice to go to is SFSU because I can find my way around the campass and it is a nice view there. My last choice is CSUMB and the reason I like to go there is because of their clam chowder. I also like the campass and it feels like I'm at home.

John Thomas Serena

 1.) Sacramento state
The first college i would want to go to is Sacramento state because both of my brothers went there and said it is a great school.


2.) San Jose State
I would want to go here because i have visited this school before, and it seemed like a place i would want to go.

3.) San Francisco State
This would be my third choice because it has a very beautiful campus and a very nice surrounding city with lots of stuff to do.

Jennifer Alkakos

I've decided that these 3 following schools suits me best.

1. San Diego State University
- Reasons why San Diego State University catch me eye is because San Diego State has differvent varieties of fields that you can major in and because i love San Diego.
http://www.sdsu.edu/

2. Los Angeles State University
- I really like Los Angeles State University because i am from Los Angeles and because my mom loves their campus and people.
http://www.calstatela.edu/

3. San jose State University
- Im very interested to attend this specific college because it's close to my home, i can not only drive their but i can coe home every night and not have to pay for an appartment.
http://www.sjsu.edu/

Maria Sanchez

My top three choices of the colleges I would like to attend are
  1. UCSF : http://www.ucsf.edu/
  2. BERKELEY :http://berkeley.edu/
  3. UCSD  http://ucsd.edu/
The career I want to take is to be a Social Worker and I know that my two top schools have great programs to get me working as soon as a I graduate. I want to be able to go school that won't be too far away from home. I'm planning on going to either UC DEANZA or UC Mission then transfer after 2 years. 


Ebony Young

The top three colleges I've decided to go to:
                                                              -Lousiana state University (LSU)
                                                              -San Jose University (SJSU)
                                                              -Tulane University (UT)

     My number one choice is LSU, because I've always loved that place. There's BLACK people, a ood psych program and that's my hometown. I wouldn't have to liveon campus because all of my family lives in Baton Rouge & New Orleans, Louisiana. I would feel right at home!(:
http://www.lsu.edu/

    My second choice, UT, is because I love their volleyball team. They go HAM! I think I would make a good contribution to their team. And they also have a good Sociiology prgram as well.
http://tulane.edu/

    My third choice, SJSU, is because my mama wants me to stay here, in California. So, if I had no other option and felt the need to stay home, then I would go here.
http://www.sjsu.edu/

Danny "THE BEST" Cervantes

My top 3 choices are;
1.UCSB,
2.CAL and,
3. USC
1. UCSB because its is a beautiful college that i have visited before that i feel as if i belong in that enviornment. its like Mr.Sevilla said "its a beautiful city where I can surf and there are sexy girls that are half naked everywhere." http://teachercummins1st.blogspot.com/
2. CAL because that is one of the hardest schools to get into and if i would get into it i would feel as if i would become really successful. I also like the campus and the surroundings.
3. USC beacuse this school has an excellent program for theater and acting. the only thing i dont like is the cost of the tuition.
http://www.ucsb.edu/
http://berkeley.edu/
http://www.usc.edu/

Valerie Monteros

Here are my top three choices, but they aren't in a particular order:
SJSU-I want to go here because it is close to home. I would have the option to stay home if I wanted to and save money because I wouldn't have to pay extra for dorms.
CSU Monterey-This college would be pretty easy to get into (compared to other schools) because it is fairly new and i liked the housing when we visited.
SFSU- I would enjoy the area and I would have various ways of getting home on the weekends if I wanted to because it is not too far.

Anthony Garay

Hawaii State- I'd like to go Hawaii state because I've never been to Hawaii and not only does it have the classes I'd like to major in, but it's also next to California on the most beautiful island in the Pacific.

http://www.hawaii.edu/

SFSU- I'd like to go to San Francisco state because the college is in the best city in California that I'm somewhat familiar with and it's also close to home but not too far from it that I'd have to fly back.

http://www.sfsu.edu/

UCSB- I want to go to UC Santa Barbara because there's alot of parties to go to but also people are serious when they need to be (i.e. in class). It's such a nice school too, with reaaaaally good looking people(;

http://www.ucsb.edu/

Ricardo Reynaga (Wilcox)

My top three schools I want to go to are...
San Francisco State University because it is close but far and its in a place that I like. It is also a diverse campus, and I know some people that went there that said it was a cool place to go to.
http://www.sfsu.edu/

Humboldt State University because it is far and i think that it is a cool looking place.
http://www.humboldt.edu/

University of Oregon because honestly ducks are cool. It is also in a different state so that's pretty cool.
http://www.uoregon.edu/

Sevilla

My top school is San Diego State University because its a beautiful city where I can surf and there are sexy girls that are half naked everywhere. My second top school is University of Hawaii Monoa because its a beautiful beach city, surfing and beautiful half naked girls EVEYWHERE. My third school I wish to attend is Chico state because its a good school that is pretty cheap and also close enough home to where I can go home whenever I want to go.Its also a party school too =]

sandy Olivera

My top schools are SFSU, University of oregon and University of Hawaii: Maui College. I really want to go to these schools because they are divison 1 softball team. I always wanted to go to oregon and hawaii for softball. I would want to play my last years of softball at a great school. so i could remember how fun it was. Not only because of softball at SFSU but i like the feeling. It is very relaxing and i love the city weather. As well i want to follow my brothers footsteps going their. My brother is a big part of my life. www.maui.hawaii.edu, www.sfsu.edu, and www.uoregon.edu.

Jocelyn Diaz

1. CSU Northridge
I would like to go here because I'm interested in the Public Administartion and Service Profession. They also major in Psychology and Sociology.

2. Grand Canyon University
I fell in love with this school last year, it's beautiful and I could major in Sociology and also minor in Cosmetology. I could really be on my own. aayyeeee!

3. Cal Berkeley
This school is close and not to far. I've visited it multiple times and I could major in Sociology

Asalina Smiley

My first college choice would be San Franciso State because there major is nursing and my plan is to become a nurse. San Franciso State is like a dream for me to go, I love the city especially pier 39. Most of my family wen't to this school and graduated with a major, and made me want to go. The campus is beautiful and its just a place where I want to be. (www.nursing.sfsu.edu). My second college would be Mount St. Mary College in L.A. because they also have a gret nursing program and convinced me to go even though its an all girl school. I heard about this college from last year field trip when we went to Cal state East Bay college fair. I didn't see the campus, but im guessing it nice. (www.msmc.la.edu). My third choice would be San Diego State because their major is also nursing and it seems that It would be the best for me. Their campus seems nice and its far away from home, but it would be worth it. I have relatives that live their and going to that college so It will be fine. The campus seem big and beautiful could get lost there, but I have good a good memory.(www.nursing.sdsu.edu).

Chelsi R.

My first college choice would be Santa Clara but i might have to transfer there. I would choose this college because it's closer to my family and it has good programs i might be interested in.(www.scu.edu/)
My second choice would be San Francisco State University. I would choice this college because they have a good nursing program. (www.nursing.sfsu.edu/)
My third choice college would be Cal State Monterey Bay because they don't have alot of people there and i wouldn't want to be crowded and the best thing i love about monterey is their ocean.(www.csumb.edu/)

MANDO BABY ;)

Ain't no way to explain or sayHow painful the hangover was todayIn front of the toilet, hands and kneesTrying to breathe in between the dry heavesMy baby made me some coffeeAfraid that if I drink some it's probably coming right back out meCouple of advil, relax and chillAt a standstill with how bad I feelI think I need to smell fresh hair So I stepped out the back door and fell down the stairsThe sunlight hit me dead in the eyeLike it's mad I gave half the day to last nightMy bad sight made me trip on my ass right into that patch of grass like that's lifeAll of a sudden, I realize somethingThe weather is amazing, even the birds are bumpinStood up and took a look and a breathAnd there's that bike that I forgot that I possessedNever really seen exercise as friendlyBut I thing something's telling me to ride that slow speedThe brakes are broken, it's alrightThe tires got air and the chain seems tightHopped on and felt the summertime,It reminds me of one of them Musab lines like Sunshine, sunshine, it's fineI feel it in my skin, warming up my mind, Sometimes you gotta give in to win, I love the days when it shines, whoa let it shineIf I could I would keep this feeling in a plastic jarBust it out whenever someone's actin hardSettle down, barbeque in the backyardThe kids get treats and old folks get classic carsEvery day that gets to pass is a successEvery woman looks better in a sun dressThe sunshine's an excuse to shoot hoops, get juiceShow improve their moves and let looseI hear voices, I see smiles to match emGood times and you can feel it in the fashionEven though the heat cooks up the actionThe streets still got butterfliesEnough kids to catch 'emRidin my bike around these lakes manFeelin like I finally figured out my escape planTake it all and the day started off all wrongSomehow now that hangover is all goneAin't nothing like the sound of the leavesWhen the breeze penetrates these southside treesLeanin' up against one, watchin the vibeForgettin' all about the stress, thanking god I'm aliveIt's so simple, I had to keep the song simpleWhen I get home I'm gonna open all the windowsFeelin all right, stopped at a stop signA car pulled up, bumpin Fresh Prince's Summertime
