#23 HULU

I have my favorite shows that I like to try and keep up with: Glee, Bones, and House. They make my life, however, I have a very busy life between school and work so I never get to watch them when they are on TV. So that’s why the world decided to create Hulu.com . I can watch almost any show when I want and however many times I want, I think it works out pretty well (: and it makes me happy when I finally get some time to relax.

#23 Peace Jam

Peace Jam is an Organization led by 12 Nobel Peace Prize winners, The Nobel Peace Prize winners came up with a list of different challenges that face the world in broad open topics, and then as a member of Peace Jam you pick one of the topics and do a service project on a larger scale. After you complete the project there is a conference held and you are able to present your project to one of the Nobel Peace Prize Winners, so over the years I have met Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and Adolfo Perez Esquivel. It was an AMAZING experience and some of the coolest service projects I have ever done.

#22 My Personal Blog!!!

A while back I decided that since I want to major in Art and Education I should create a portfolio that is easy to access, so based on everything we have learned in Media Literacy I decided that I would create a blog about all of my art. So I have been adding to it over the past couple weeks, I still need to edit the text because it isn’t perfect yet. But, I am going to use it to help further me in life. Next semester I am going to be shadowing my high school art teacher on my free time and he is going to let me try out some of my own ideas with some of his classes and I am going to have them set up blogs and show them to other people. My personal blog is defenetly  
worth checking out (:

#21 Correction!!!


Today in class we were given a lecture on “In Medias Res” and about artificial intelligence and technology and were we are going, and you were talking about the flower project done by Gregor Mendel. Mendel worked on genetics, and genetic coding, in class we were told he did his research on poppies, when he actually did his research on pea plants which have different colored flowers and pods etc. After he had done thousands of test in understand the genetic codes and backgrounds of the pea plants he moved on to testing bees.

Quote: “I have a thespian background”
Response: I think it is awesome how well you are able to take on different personalities and roles to help prove your point. It really helps emphasize the different topics we are discussing.
Throughout high school I was in Little Women, and Rebel without a Cause, and then I student directed Les Mieserables.  Those were all really fun experiences and I love being able to dress up and pretend to be someone else and have that fun.

#19 Definition

A psycho-pathological condition characterized by delusional fantasies of power, relevance, or omnipotence (unlimited power)
During the course of Media Literacy this word has been thrown around and I wasn’t exactly sure what the meaning of it was. So, today when it was said once again I wrote it down and decided I would look it up and put it up as one of my Wikis. However, after finding out the meaning of Megalomania I do not think that it defines our professor, while his teaching methods are very different I think that he is making a point and making a statement that is important and if this alternative teaching method is the best way for us to understand then that’s just how it is going to be.
