Making A Movie

Well its going to be alot harder than i first thought (that's what she said). First thing that is going to be tough is to keep it between 30 seconds and 3 minutes. I feel that this is just going to rush the storyline and i fear it wont turn out the way i want it too. Also my schedule is not going to allow me any free time to actually shoot the movie. This is going to be a major setback for my group but im sure we will find a way to get around it and make a kickass movie and get the most views on youtube. So go team america!

How to turn it around

The best thing to do when your speech is an epic failure and the entire crowd has tuned you out is to keep going. don't get discouraged continue to let your voice be heard because even though you might not know it there is someone out there in this world that agrees with you on the subject.

a Bad speech

we have all seen it happen. when someone is going to give a speech and you know that from the very beginning its going to stink the joint up. It all starts from the opening words and then it just plummets downhill from there. I sad to see it happen but that's life my friends.

Take responsibility

One of the most important things that you can do is own up to your success and failures. Everybody fails eventually but what seperates the men from the children is those who are able to admit their mistakes.

Setting goals

if i had the ability to go back and time and tell myslef one thing it would be that i need to set some goals and do my best to achieve them. Its not enough to go through life unless you have your sights set on something that you want and need to achievee

values

my values are my religion, my family and my education. So it is very important for me to study hard and keep my head straight so that i can get my work done and excel in my classes.

Roomie

Its not going to be easy living with a person i barely even know but thats ok. The one important thing to remember is that its all about compromises and not always trying to be right. All i need to do is be myself and if we dont agree on something find a way to work it out and not fight about it.

Today we took a trip to the Martin Luther King Library in the beautiful downtown san jose area. And let me tell you this, the MLK library is more than just a library its an bottomless pit of helpful resources. For example, they have this one tool called link plus that allows you to check and see if a book you want that is already checked out is available at another library. And the best part is that if it is available they will ship it to MLK for you to have so you dont have to wait for the original copy to be returned. They also have a tool called refwork that allows you to send it information on the sources you want to use for a paper. It then takes this information and puts into a bibliography for you. I dont know about the rest of you, but i hate righting up bibliographies and this beautiful website takes all the pain out of it.
