first(well his) vlog
# 11
It would be funny to think without YouTube that life would be boring and no communication. When people do vlogs from somewhere else in the world we learn about them and where they come from. You can also communicate with them to go more depth about what you want to know or you can them to make a vlog about something you want to watch.

dating
I think online dating is pretty cool. I think it can help a lot of people that are shy get up and get out there. Maybe for some shy people they can get a lot out when there writing to someone then just standing in front of someone and stuttering on the words because your nervous. People can actually talk to people and see if they like them or not {don't forget about the picture}, and they can finally met. Its also good cause now they have background checks to get rid of people that have three wives and just want some fun. They even look for people with the criminal backgrounds which I think is good, you don't want to go out on a date and tomorrow you’re under the missing people. For older people it’s kind of better for them. They probably feel like there too old to go on dates or how could they ever find the right person. Well on match.com they compare you to someone like you and since their kind of older they have experience on long relationships and it sometimes works out better for them. A thing that I don't agree on is EHarmony rejecting gays. I think gays need love too. There people just like us looking for a love. EHarmony is dumb, if they would let gays in they would get more people that like them better reviews and more money. I think gays should have rights to dating on line with EHarmony, but in one of there papers a man states that there are dating sites that let them.
what I think about the writing assginment
Today in class we when over the fake email essay. Which I think is pretty hard and easy at the same type. The hard part is going to the writing center or getting an appointment. I really don't know how I'm going to find time to do that. I like the essays that were writing it’s nothing hard for me just to think about it and write it down. And I think some how this email thing will help us out in the future. For example if I ever get a failing grade I think I don't deserve I can just write a email to my teacher to reconsider my grade since now I'm going to know how to do it and in mannerly way too. I think the two hard parts of writing my essay is how I am going to start it. Do I say," hello i'm Paula in your English class 301", or should I just get to the point," I'm Paula and I would like to reconsider my grade." I don't want to sound to rude or emotional. The other part is the end. I know I’m suppose to say thank you for your time, but at the end should I leave my email for the teacher or my number or is that over doing it. For right now those are the only two things that I am worry about my paper.

I think using the iPhone is ok if they are using it in the smart way. Its true kids probly play on it or whatever but it can also be a tool for learn like get on the internet and looking stuff up. Or if the programs a learn active on the phone that even better. I think using the iPhone is good at school if you're actually going to use it for school work and not play.
iphoning and texting #5
I think using an iPhone in college is good to use. For one reason it lets kids check there emails and if they get lose they can use in to pull up a map of the campus. There even a panic button on there that let the police knows where you're at. The teachers use it for the kids to study and learn. There a lot of programs that the teacher can put on the iPhone that will let the study go over or do. Plus the iPhone is way liter then a computer. There are people that argue that an iPhone is not a good use, because it can be distracting, but I think not. The college has restrictions on the iPhone during class so that they can only do the work in class. And the iPhone can't even make calls, unless you pay for programs. The only thing I don't like about the iPhone is that only freshman get which would suck for me next year. I think everyone should get one. Over all I would like using the iPhone.
Is texting a way of being lazy?
I think not. Texting is a fast way to get around when others can't speak at the moment and it’s not loud. Expect for the taps that you might hear if you're listening very careful. Other thing that people say is lazy about texting is how people shorten worlds. For example "lol" means laugh out loud, "omg" means oh my god, "ttyl" means talk to you later. Some people consider this lazy and say make spelling and grammar worst. What do think? I think there just silly first of all if you have a problem with spelling then that on you for not learning how to spell. Texting doesn't make it worst. On everyone’s phone it has a T9 which spells words even if you just put in the first three letters it takes guesses at it and you can just pick the right word you want. Tada! Now you know how to spell the word for next time. And for grammar yeah I heard people talk in text but it’s silly they should know when it’s time to talk right.

fake email
Guess what grade I got in my math class? A "D". Come on I deserve better than that.I'm always doing my work in class,taking notes,and raising my hand if I don't know an answer or don't understand it.I know I don't always make an good grade on test,but doesn't mean I don't do my best. Haven't he ever heard of "A" for effort.I always put effort into my work.I'm always working out the problem step by step and if I don't know it I still try to work it out.His class isn't even fair.He doesn't count homework but he gives it to us.The deal is who ever comes in first and answer one of the homework problems on the board gets 1 point on the test.I think that's good,but I'm not always the first one into the room because my before teacher keeps us late and there always like maybe 8 questions on the homework which I can't answer a problem.Why can't he just grade the homework and everybody the does the homework gets a point on the test,that makes it fair for everyone.He maybe doesn't like me.I'm always quite in that class never talk out loud or do any wrong and I have a "D". I would at least be happy with a"C" because I deserve it.I really work hard for my grade and I want it! So..should I go talk to him?
