Ed160-PPT Presentation Blog

The presentation done by Sandra and I made me remember just how difficult working on a group assignment could be. We should have created a contingency plan because we struggled terribly with our communication. We both assumed that we had all of our eggs in a basket, we both had our ideas in mind and on paper, but it was difficult for us to manifest our presentation once our deadline approached. One of the roadblocks we faced was what I call “real-life”…real life got in the way a couple of times, and I wasn’t able to give Sandra my portion of the presentation by the time we suggested. The second, major roadblock we faced was that we couldn’t e-mail each other for a while. I finally figured out that the file was just too big, to send through “squirrel mail” so we ended up using alternate e-mail addresses. Although I made up for it the next day, I still felt a tinge of guilt because I didn’t want to have her waiting on me – it’s unprofessional.
Here is what I took away from two different presentations that were presented last week:
Concept One:
I was most intrigued by Amber Peschke and Kathy Daniels presentation about Multiple Intelligences. I enjoyed the way they knowledgeably spoke about their subject rather than robotically state each intelligence. Their job aid is fantastic. I took their quiz on the job aid and found out that I have “intrapersonal strength” amongst other strengths.
Concept Two:
Although the video didn’t work for the team who created their presentation on Bloom’s Taxonomy, I did take away some meaning from the soundless video. It was great that it was video in simple terms, so simple that I understood it without the sound.

There's BLUE DIAMOND Honey Roasted Almonds in my pantry

BLUE DIAMOND Honey Roasted Almonds
I can't stop eating them. I needed something sweet, but not too sweet, my goal is to stay away from the love of my life for awhile (chocolate). I'm pretty sure, I've defeated the purpose because I nearly done with the whole container.


Flamin Hots
I looooooooooooove Flamin Hots. I sometimes think I'm too old to be eating them because I have red stuff all over my thumb and index finger.


Chips AHoy chewy cookies
There really good....

I've been told I resemble Mary J Blige

Mary J Blige is fly...she's my homegirl (in my mind). She's one of my favorite celebrites...


"Mary J. Blige", "Blige"

I've been told many times that I resemble Mary J. Blige..I can't see it, but every since I was in high school I would hear that! I can't say that I want to look like any celebrity...although if I could pick and choose certain features, I'd probably do that...

Boom Chicka Boom Boom wakes me up in the morning:)

Ah yes....a good ole fashion ...oh, I was dreaming people...MY SON WAKES ME UP IN THE MORNING! First, his alarm clock blasts...then he slams cabinets...he runs water for an eternity...then the scent of his TAG or AXE, travels downstairs to burn my nostrils....then he runs/stumbles down the stairs to BARELY catch the school bus---every morning!



So, if you haven't guessed...its not so invigorating! Lol

The ExFactor

This blog entry is dedicated to my ex...from a very, very long time ago. I ran into him today. I said "hi", he said, "I miss you, I talk about you all the time, I tell everybody if I ever see you again, I'm gonna make you mine again. I know I messed up, but I was immature. I wanna make you my girl again. Or a least be friends"...
I WAS THINKING....First of all, I was a girl when I was messing around with your sorry...self! I'm all grown-up now, and I have the common sense not to be bothered with the likes of you.....
However, I did have the courage to SAY to his face as my girl Whitney Houston would say HELL TO THE NAW!
After I said that things got weird...Imagine this...IT'S VERY QUIET...THE BIRDS ARE CHIRPING...DO YOU HEAR EM'...lol
Crazy...this dude...threw me for a loop:) It was very awkward because I haven't seen him in over 15 years! Plus he doesn't deserve my frienship....dang blasted loser!
I'm being mean...I'm sorry:(
No I'm not, he's was and still is a jerk for even assuming that he could have the power to make me 'his again'...
I don't belong to anybody...I belong to me! Lol...He actually said that out of his mouth...He should be on the show "TOOL ACADEMY"
If anybody else can stake claim its the woman who birthed me! Lol..
SO TO MY EX...HERE'S A POEM I'VE WRITTEN JUST FOR YOU
I close my eyes to keep from
seeing
His stupid grin looking back at
me

I shut off my mind to keep from
thinking
Of the dumb things he's saying to
me

I clinch my fist to keep from
swinging
If he knew better he'd run from
me

Fall back, loser....I'm over you!

My Sista!!!!! She makes me tick!

I used to think that money was a motivator, but as I grew up....I've come to realize...as the great, Notorious B.I.G. would say..'mo money...mo problems." The more you have the more un-deserving people tend to surround you...hate on you...or just plain hate you....lol...



For real...money is a good motivator, but for me...doing something that I love motivates me a lot....helping someone work through something, gives me motivation to keep doing good...



My family....they need me....that's my motivation......right now...today...my sister (may she overcome the sickness that ails her) she needs me a lot....she motivates me to keep moving because despite her illness...she gets up...dusts herself off and she still takes care of her family....she doesn't feel sorry for herself....She keeps going until she can't go anymore...then she calls....she motivates me....

AHA!

The boot-leg 'squirrel mail' won't send attachments! Maybe the files are too big! At least I'm not gonna go crazy after all...lol

Don't put off till 2moro...what you could do 2day!


I'm so tee'd off right now...I could scream! I've been trying to email my partner v.2 of our assignment, but the freakin email must be down because I've made numerous attempts and ITS NOT GOING THROUGH!!!!!!! I'm sleepy man....all I wanna do is go to sleep, but squirrel mail is doing me wrong...doing me bad.


Now that I've tried long enough...today has become tomorrow, so I may as well go to sleep and hope that the squirrel mail is functioning LATER...


shoot....

Whenever I see Wonder Woman, I long to be a kid again

There were so many things I had to be grateful for as a child...despite some very unfortunate circumstances...I loved being a kid!


Wonder Woman

I wish I was a kid again....



the summers seemed to be longer,



getting wet under the fire hydrant...no pools where I lived..take that back..there was a community pool, but the rumor was it had poop floating in it so I didn't wanna go! lol



Italian Ice from Taylor Street



Push Ups from the Roosevelt the Icecream man.



penny candies and cheese doodles



steel roller skates



jump rope competitions



Boys....chase the girls....lol



Just some of the things I used to love....



life wasn't full of worries...

wasn't filled with death...at least in my child's mind everything is fine

People were respected to a certain degree....

Imagination was my greatest friend when I was a kid....



My altergo when I was a child was Wonder Woman...

I imagined picking up cars and tossing them in the air...I especially wanted to toss one on my arch enemies LaTanya and Ursula, they were mean:(



I would ride my bike through the hood and pretend I could rescue people...true story, I once rescued a cat that was locked inside of a cabinet that was put out for trash....It felt good man...



When I didn't wanna go outside I read my Piggly Wiggly books and all of the other great books I had...



AROUND 7th grade...I discovered boys...damn! lol



Feeling Defeated!!!!

I'm not usually a person who becomes overwhelmed with negativity, but today I'm feeling defeated! My mom tells me that there will be bumps in the road...I know that, but today is just one of those days where I wasn't able to get ANYTHING done that I wanted to do! I'm feeling very unproductive...
