what I have learned this semester

this semester hasn't been much of what i have learned but more of what i have gone back and refreshed from high school, in which it has been good for many of us in class to go back and refresh our materials. one thing that i have learned has been the issues that we went over from king corn and chew on this,I'm now more aware of what products not to eat. one thing that has helped me in our RD class has been the mastery test from each chapter because it provides the info from the reading which allows you to go back and review, this helps review and understand the reading assignment better.the biggest thing i liked and my biggest help was the revision of our essays that we worked on EN this semester, going back the revising over and over really helped me improve my writing specially of some yrs out of school my writing just dropped and the revising work really help me get back on track. going back and reviewing what i have learned has been my biggest help in this semester for both RD and EN.

kinn corn/chew on this

i have learned so many new things from king corn and chew on this involving of my daily eats that i was lefted speechless..ikno that many in class felt the same way! how gross, i had no i dea that we are made of corn simply because of what we daily consume is fed with corn and how we are pretty much eating pesticide's because that's what the daily meat and fruits that we consume fed,i truly feel like taking a stand it time that we are all told exactly what is the secret ingredient in our foods.

I've gotta give it to President Obama, he keeps it real when it comes to speakingout, on an interview he was asked what he thoughts were on the kanye west vs. Taylor Swift issue , he just simply replied " that was on called for,o and my favorite part how he thinks kanye West is a Jack A** ...now how funny is that! :P

lets c ...on wed.morning i had a plain bagel with a cup of coffee for breadfast later on for lunch i had a salad with chicken and rice with corn which was some leftover from dinner which my cousin prepered, ever since i moved out from my parents i have been eating heathier especially for lunch one reason i live with my cousin now and they alwayz (just like in my parents house they always cook)i cook to when ever i get the chance and the other reason is my job..because i getout of school and have to go right to work i dont have time to stop by any fast food resturants WHICH BY THE WAY IS GOOD specially after reading CHEW ON THIS!!!!!!EWWW!! N.E.WAyz later on i had a tuna sandwhich with some apple sauce and orange juice for dinner....i have been eatin pretty boring lately but healthier i guess!

Today T.V is way over the top with reality shows , but how real are they really! I personally watch reality shows it make sound weird but they cheer me up, i find them so hilariously funny, watching people making a fool of themselves like I love money, Real Chance of love or I want to work for Diddy(who I personally think is a halfwit, I mean why would you want to work for someone that can't make up this mind about his name!,but then again $$) shows like that are just pain funny of how people have no shame anymore..my favorite part of all is that there is usually one bad apple out of the group that always stands out with their bad behavior which i personally think they create to get fame..like Heidi and Spencer from the Hills they did so many bazaar acts like starting a rumor about LC just to get known as the (spitrie) the most hated T.V couple!!AS they love to call themselves ENTERTAINERS!! (some reality more like what i would do for money) but then I also watch shows like Sober House with Dr. Drew which shows celebrities going through rehab, you really get to see the bad side of their addiction another show that i think is pretty real would be the Biggest Loser it show people that are struggling with their weight go through their daily challenges of reaching their goal of getting to a healthier life style. my opinion on Reality Shows can go both ways on whether its real or not , it really just depends on the shows. One thing i will say real or not they sure are ENTERTAINING!

so far from reading the chapters in the book i have learned that it relates alot to real life situation specially what happened to devona having a baby at such young age which is something that i see alot these days. well and as for the book i think its interesting how it relates to real situations but at the sometime it gets pretty boring at some chapters but the good thing is that all the chapters are very short. i can wait to see what happens next, hopefully the story will pickup a little.

Tradition in my family for Christmas Eve is getting together laughing being LOUD (straight up Dominican) playing loud music and of course lost of FOOD!! one big Dominican dish tradition in my family is Ensalada Mista wich is pretty much egg salad with many different vegetables, Habichuela Condulce and Sancocho which is a stew like dish with lost of different things in it..i wouldn't have the time to describe, the Christmas Eve dinner is usually shared with lost of fruits,nuts and different types of Dominican candy like Manzana de navidad (aka apple) or coquito, and of course no big Dominican meal can be left with out LIQUOR!! we love to drink!! specially during the holidays a topical holiday drink would be Ponche Crema De Oro (its like irish cream but stronger) and vino Caballo blanco which is a Dominican red wine, very popular wine in DR for the holidays( which have been drinking since i was 8!! its normal for kids a sip of wine during the holidays in DR.) best of all the big tradition in my family is being together drunk and loud but a loving family.
