My Interest 2

   In this class we've discussed numerous of things and read different types of articles. One of the last articles we've discussed were speaking on Youtube, how technology disables us in this society. I found it very interesting that how much technolgy can be a distraction to people. From seating at work, being in a classroom, even riding in the car, we get easily distacted by the cell phones, laptops, ipads, etc. Our lives now are so different from when we all were younger, no one use text messaging as much as now, Youtube wasn't as popular, Twitter, or Facebook. The past paper I've done which was on compare and contrast of Twitter and Facebook, me personally don't use Facebook as much, but I know others that enjoy it very much. Twitter is all mobile to me, Facebook isn't. Facebook in opinion is more visual so therefore you would have to seat in front of your computer/laptop to see what's going on. Twitter you can simply make a tweet or message right from your phone.
    We also recently watched a few YouTube videos on how technology is used in throughout all the classrooms and how more focused students are into the technology then actually focusing on the instructor. One of the things that kind of stuck out to me was that our student loans, the loans that we all take out in one semester and once we graduate from college how much debt we're in. The technology is doing nothung but getting bigger and better. It's going to be even harder for us once we actually get into our careers due to technology. Another was, are we going to even need the degree that we pursue? I find it very difficult for us now, so years down the line the way that technology is building, we'll need some type of connection through other people to actually get a good job. Since I've stated school people have told me that you'll be paying off student loans forever, taking out loans come with debt behind it. I have friends that actually stop going to college because of fear from being drowned in loans. It is true? Quiting school and just getting a normal job is better than trying to pursue a career. I go back and forth with myself with this question, will technology take over our work sources? This question can be answered with so many different opinions.I have learned a little more about the things we discuss in class, some situations on how people can be bias towards whatevers being talked about. Now when I read I go deeper into the reading and try to visualize what's being said. My aspects in this class were tying to have an open me, be able to speak and see what others see because I'm not that visual. It takes time for me be able to discuss what the topic may be on.

My Interest

Coming into any English class is a task. Most people, when thinking of English think its a ton of writing papers, brainstorming, stating facts etc. I'm not the best at writing papers, so if I'm given a specific topic on what the paper should be on, then my writing is better. It's easier for me to know exactly what I have to write about. Taking this class I knew that it would include a lot of writing, writing that I'm probably not fully equipped for. At the same time it holds my interest because I know my ability in trying to learn new things. I want to be able to gain that open mind, to things I may not know. Professor Cassidy stated facts that we'll be smarter after her class. It gave me a lot of confidence in my writing before I even start my writing. Including the writing assignment on our observation. We have to know so much and observe things that you really wouldn't pay attention too. I'm doing my paper on The Student Center. I chose the Student Center because I personally enjoy going, eating, socializing, but trying to study I really can't do much of that. I've met new people, even though this is my first semester at Eastern. I observed the different restaurants and the students that may sit in front, on the side, or even grab and go. In my opinion, the Student Center is ONLY a place where you eat and socialize with others. I'm not the only student that go and I see lots of students reading, studying, and doing work. I noticed this lady that was sitting off by herself and it appeared to me that she was studying or some type from her facial expressions. I introduced myself and she told me her name. Her name was Kristo and she's been attending Eastern since 2010. I asked her how could she study or read in the Student Center when there's SO much going on? She replied, "I enjoy the Student Center, the noise doesn't bother me because I come from a huge family and trying to study in a house with 5 boys was impossible. So me studying here doesn't bother me at all." I said, WOW! I'd get easily distracted trying to study here. It was interesting to know that other people felt totally different from how I felt. I didn't have to brainstorm much on getting ideas from others. By the end of my observation, I was able to see how reading and studying could be possible, I guess. The blogging is also new to me, I've never done blogging before. Signing up and everything else was easy, its just the actual blogging part. I try to be creative with things and my words, but sometimes it doesn't all come out at once. I have a Creative Writing class, this semester and the class opened up my mind already to new things. I didn't have many aspects from coming into this class because I really didn't know how the Professor would of been, how her teaching was, and if I would of like the class overall. I do feel I'll learn what I need to learn and more, and that's my only concern. I named this post as "My Interest" because both classes have my interest in the work, and learning what need to be learned.
