Week 4

Well, I don't think I have really grown in the class. I truely believe I need to put myself more into the class. I keep saying I'm going to make my blogg better looking and get it looking all creative, but I have yet to make the time to do so. So getting caught up is my goal for next week. It's too stressful to be on the edge of school work all the time.


Did You Know?........
This is a PSA that I found online. In the video, it states a few common facts and statisics with HIV/AIDS that I found to be a little interesting.

I can't find a way to post a video here, but here is a link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UekTDsel9mQ

My late week 3

Well, let me start off by saying that I am a week late in posting this. I have good reason though. I was kicked out of class for a week. It took a couple of days to get me back in. but I'm back now.

Week 2

Well, this is week 2 of our blogging for this class and i'm ok with it. I'm still getting the hang of this blogging and is pretty sure i'm not going as hard as I should but I'm still trying to get in the hang of things.

When it came to writting about a HIV topic I should write about in these series, I instantly knew what I wanted to speak on. I want to do HIV misconceptions. I know this probably won't last me 12 weeks but I have some ideas on how to make a spinoff that correlates back to my topic.

Did you know....
*You can NOT get HIV from kissing unless.......there is an open bleeding sore in your partners mouth. -makes you think twice about casual kissing people.
*You can NOT get HIV from eating off someones plate.- there is no bodily fluid contact-chill.
*You can NOT get HIV from hugging someone.-You won't hug someone with HIV but you're willing to have a make out session at a party over the weekend with "Josh what's his face" ?
*You can NOT get HIV from sitting in the saome seat as someone who is infected.-Now that's just small minded.
*You can NOT het HIV from shaking someone hand. -Even your grandparents should know that.

These are just a few facts I thought that should be stated at the begining. You would be surprised at how many think they can get infected by doing these. I will provide more information reguarding some of these and others.

This organization helps!......

The Peace Corps is a great organization that helps out with the HIV/AIDS cause. Peace Corps volunteers help people affected by HIV/AIDS through work in areas such as public health education, community and nongovernmental organizations, and business advising. Activities in public health include working in an orphanage with HIV-positive children, implementing programs for at-risk youth, collaborating with faith-based organizations on prevention messages, and providing nutrition and hygiene education classes in communities are just to name a few.

Check back next week. New post. New thoughts. Better me.

My first blog

OK, before I get started on this whole blogging thing, I just want to let you know that I'm nervous about this. I've never really cared much to share my thoughts about things that don't matter to me, let alone, share on the Internet. I'm pretty much a blunt person and it don't take much for me learn a lesson or get my point across. I value common sense. One thing I have noticed with people, though, is common sense isn't really that common. I feel that people are always trying to be seen and heard and I've been in enough group conferences and group meetings to know that everyone repeats each other. If you have new information to bring to the table, or can bring it in a different way, then maybe you can be a great blogger or column writer. I'm usually not impressed.

Like I said, I'm new to this. I've read a few bloggs here and there to prepare for this assignment but if anyone have any suggestions to help make me better or my blogging better, please don't hesitate to add in your two cents. :) Even though this will be a challenge for me to write all my thoughts, I don't want to just completely suck at this.

Well, this is week 1 of my blogging. In all my bloggs, I will be truthful and honest and hope I don't get punished for it. I will be myself. My teacher will sometimes give us topics to blogg about but this week is pretty much up to me to speak about the class thus far.

Is UCF sure this class is only 3 credits? After 4 years of college, I can concretely conclude that writing is NOT one of my favorite pastimes, and this class seem to possess all 4 years into 12 weeks. I have a 5 page assignment due every week, answer a question of the week and reply to others, blogg about my thoughts every week and also reply to 3 other bloggs, about 3 book reports to do, and another 5 page summary page for my bloggs is just to name a few. I didn't even hit on the modules and other extra credit assignments and projects. Whew. I've never been the one to back out of a educational challenge, even when I should have. ( I have the grades to prove it. Sad, but true.)

Anyway, this week to me will be and has been the hardest until I get into the routine of things. This class don't really seem too hard, it's just a lot to have on your mind at once. Well, I'm about done. I don't know how I did for my first blogg (I like spelling it like that. Is that points off?), but I have 11 more to improve on. Blogg at you later! :)

*Oh, and I'm going to find a way for my page to appear more interesting.*
