the state of my research prospectus is good. I was able to start on my literature review with the appropiate information. I feel that there is too much information and that its hard to organize everything.

For this free write, I will talk about Panama City Beach. It is a small city northwest Florida. The city is well known for spring break. College students from all over the US go to the beach to party. MTV, two years in a row, hosted their spring break there. There are nightclubs, bars, restaurants. Club La Vela is the best known nightclub, which is the largest nightclub in America. It is several stories high, and has daytime and nighttime parties. It is apopular place to go to run away and relax from school, work, and other things in life. The beach is considered “The Spring Break Capital of The World”. Over 500,000 colleges and highschool students arrive between the months of March and April
Unfortunately, some people get so heavily intoxicated that they die. On average, spring breakers will average 18 drinks perday for guys and 10 for girls. The tourism leaders actually want to clean up the “hardcore” party image a bit. Every year a christian organization from all over the US, comes to Panama City Beach to talk with the partyers. It is helpful as some of them are letting loose, not using thier judgement in making decisions. The people from the christian organizaitons can help them and even talk with them about themselves. It seems like a lost cause, but it helps the party-goers think about things for a moment and second-guess their actions

For this open topic, I want to talk about facebook. Facebook is a world-wide website that allows you to keep in contact with old and current friends. Almost every college student has one. It is a way of communication and even keep in touch. Every event and relationship statuses, pictures everything is on facebook. It is in a way a social norm to have a facebook. Many students get distracted from their work by being on facbeook. People stalk their friends by reading their wall posts, looking at pictures, and looking at their personal information.
I then realized how much facebook is addicting when I myself, would spend hours on facebook just checking and commenting on pictures. I decided to cut down on my facebook access. I recently read an article on facebook addicts. This mother was so addicted to facebook. It isn’t a real medical diagnosis but it is very common that people cross the line from social networking to social dysfunction. There is actually a check list to see if you’re a facebook addict. It includes, lacking sleep because of facebook, spend more than an hour a day on facebook, thought of getting off facebook makes you nervous. It is surprising that people get anxiety or stress from being off facebook. This woman on her blog decided to give up going on facebook for lent. She wanted to know what she would actually miss about facebook and what she really did value. I decided to only be on facebook for 10 minutes a day. Even this has proven difficult. Especially when seeing funny pictures I want to comment on or even catching up with an old friend on facebook chat. But through the experience, I learned to actually call people to catch up instead of virtually contacting them. Its actually more intimate and better way of catching up with people. So far, ive learned that facebook is good to keep updated with people but to really keep a friendship going, is actually calling them up. I don't think most people realize the importance of calling and hanging out to keep a friendship and not just saying a friendly message with no genuine concern to see how they are doing.

The state of reserach prospectus is okay. It is hard to gather information for my literature review. I dont' know where to begin with my wiritng and what needs to be in it.

For this free write I would like to talk about the macbook spying case. The highschool gave every student a macbook to complete their work on and off school. Like any other macbooks, they had a webcam. The highschool had the ability to turn on the webcam even off school property. A student was sent a message saying he did illegal behavior and they have pictures to prove it on the webcam. I thought the highschool was creative in using the webcam to keep track of lost or stolen laptops. However, it is ridiculous that the faculty has the ability to turn on the webcam when the student is at home. Especially, when there was no suspicion that the laptop was even lost. This is an invasion of privacy, “peeping tom technology”. Sometimes people change infront of their computers while listening to music. Or even on the computer just at home. Its big invasion of privacy and the school had no reason to activate the webcam without a report of a lost or stolen laptop. The highscshool claimed they disabled the webcam feature. But students decided to slap post-it notes over the camera lens just in case.

I found a lot of good articles on MRSA. It was hard to organize all of them as they each covered issues and multiple concerns concerning MRSA. It was hard to narrow and find the articles i needed to use for my literature review. Not a lot of research has been done using honey and even PVL toxin. PVL toxin for example has issues in the sceintific community if it even helps in virulence. FInding articles and getting a good balance of what that toxin is was difficult

At first glance, and it basically looks like large iPhone, complete with a human button and glass touch.
The price is probably the most shocking, it actually cheaper than competitors.
With the iPad, Apple has attempted to blend in all the recent advancements in modern computing into one product. It brings in all the computing benefits of the iPhone . However, it will not fit into your pocket but it is still easily portable. It has an iBooks store for browsing and making a book library. It has photo features. Apple coming out with an iPad. Its reinventing a category. They are making a market that doesn’t exist. Is it going to succeed or fail. Its price is more expensive than a touch-screen keyboard. The ipad is the best tablet. It has excellent, surfing, emailing and movie watching. However, it lacks a video camera and chat capabilities and flash support. No flash means no hulu, NFL.com, et c. However, having no flash Is a benefit. Flash is slow. Without those two features, ill be using my laptop for my emailing, web-browsing and video chat needs. I can see later on in the future, that the iPad be very popular. Plus the price range will go down. Also, there is no mult-tasking. I would not want to check facebook and browse around without music playing in the background.

final exams are the most hectic time of the year. It is amazing how many cram before an exam. A whole semester worth of material crammed in two or one day prior to the exam. It is more amazing when some people recieve really good grades while the majority of people bomb the exam. As a science major, it is incredibly hard to cram before an exam. As the class level raises, the material becomes more specific and detailed. It is incredibly hard for me to cram before an exam as there is so much detailed information it is hard to retain them for a long period of time. Especially in chemistry, it is difficult as you have to memorize chemicals and the different orientations of those chemicals and how it reacts in the body. I noticed that entry level or even biology classes are easier to cram for. The information is just memorization and recall. Higher-level chemistry classes demands memorization but also application. The tests consist of application questions and real life scenarios and thorugh the class information, we have to explain why certain scenarios happen. While biology classes are mutliple choice and its mainly recall. I admit that tehre ar some hard biology classes that demand more than just memorization, but for th emost part from my experiernce, it is mostly needs good memorizing skills

On my way to school I saw a lot of trees. I pulled out of my driveway and there was a red truck in front of me. I kept driving and noticed that the grass is getting greener. U reached a four-way stop and noticed a police officer hiding in another street. I slowly sped off and reached the highway. It was rush hour, so there was a lot of cars and they were going fast. The highway had quite bit of trees. I remember seeing roadkill on the road. I passed by several shopping centers and there was a starbucks. A lot of people were at the starbucks and people coming out with their coffee. I continued to go to school, i went to the parking lot. There were signs telling students taht the parking lot would be closed for at certain dates for an event. i avoided those parking lots and parked my car. There were a lot o flowers and i could smell the fragrance. I also saw a lot of students rushing to class.

In chemistry, the chunk of writing is contained in lab reports/proposals. Lab reports are important to present and analyze data from experiments. So an essential part of the writing process is to concisely describe the significance of the data to the experiment. Lab reports should be written in present tense when analyzing data. Describing specific experimental methods, observations and citing published results can be used in past tense. A common problem in writing lab reports is using first, second or third person. When referring to results or conclusions, it is simpler and clearer to use first or second person.
The report should fully describe the experiments. So being very detailed but concise is essential. There should be quantitative or semi-quantitative analysis within in the reports. The results section should explain every figure, equation and table. For example, a table should have explanation of what it is and its significance to the results. Every data that appears in the report should be explained. Ever figure, table, or equation should be numbered in order to clearly refer back when discussing the experiment.

My strengths are organization and observation. Organization is good when writing a lab report or even writing a research paper. It is important for when porposing or just writing out a lab report, informally or formally. Even in writing down raw data from experiments. It is essential to have clear tables and numbers. Organization is key to keep all your data , notes, extra information so you can look back on your notes and actually make an observation. Organizing can even include clean notebook, smudges or chemicals can get on it and can make reading later on difficult. Observation is also important in a science field. Being able to notice details in your results can help lead to other questions and make a report more thorough. It is good in also seeing if the lab is conducted correctly. Observation is good in looking at cultures, microscopes, micorganisms, diseases, etc. The little details can actually lead to bigger discoveries and experiments.

My goal as a student in ENG 302 is to beable to write good papers. It seems like the obvious answer however, I like to see progressioin in my work. My definition of a good writer is to continue to improve on my work, especially in structure and word usage. In chemistry, we use scientific terms and words related to biology and chemistry. I would hope through this class, I can actually expand my vocabulary. Even through these freewrites, it has helped expand my thoughts and just let my thoughts go free. In my academic career, I have structure in my papers. I knoe how to organize things and let it flow and develop. However, I would like to improve on my grammar and sentence structure. Lab reports are very organized and precise, but my grammar is not too good. In my future career, my research reports on my experiments should be grammatical correct and professional. It is rather hard to do this when some of my lab classes are not strict on this. Iam hoping through this course, that I can be more aware of my grammar. For myself personally, I find the freewrites to be helpful. I have a personal blog where I put all my thoughts. It is so much easier to just flow my thoughts out but also beable to make sense. It is just helpful to let my mind free and just think about my thoughts without worrying about grammar and spelling. Of course, I will read back to edit…haha but it makes it easier to just write.

for this excercise i was in the engineering building at the afternoon. I remember listening the noise. I heard the air conditioning system turn on and off. It was hard to not turn on the music or even try to login into facebook. After the first 15 minutes passed, it was easier to stay focused. At times, I would hear the door open and footsteps. Other times, i would hear the toilet flush and then the faucet turns on and they wash their hands. I also heard distant talking of people. I even heard people in the peer advising room recieiving help and even conversations.
In this focused manner, i was able to concentrate on my studies and even more effectively complete assignments.

google chrome is one of the best google applications. I like how it saves your most viewed pages and it allows you to click on those pages and view them. It also has good addon pages that allow you to translate into other languages. this is helpful as im learning a language and sometimes its hard to read that text. its easier to just use google translator and help understand that sentence. Another helpful feature is when you get a new email on your gmail account, it pops up on your browser without going directly into gmail. It is a very helpful tool to check your email. Also another feature is the tab organizer. I tend to open up a lot of tabs and its hard to browse through those tabs. This tab organizer allows you to see all your tabs. it makes it easier to browse through them and know what tabs i opened. It also has a lock tab, that allows you to not accidentally exit a tab. It keeps it locked, so there is no accidental deletions. the only bad thing about google chrome is that it dosen't save your browser history.

Research or diagnosis is something I want to do. I do like learning about the proteins in the body and how it relates to our bodies function and metabolism. It could relate to the fact that I like a challenge in figuring out a problem. It can be very frustrating but at the same time, it is fun. After college it is unclear what I will be doing as a career. I have several career choices which includes research at NIH, or even a different country. Iam interested in medical missions or even going to a place in the US that is low in research or hospital labs. I would love to work with people and also beable to be in the science field. Being able to that would bring me great joy. I love interacting with people and not just help them medically but also beable to be a friend and supporter. Which is what medical missions entails. However, this might not be possible. I think working at NIH would also bring me joy. It is located near home and iam able to still be in my community. It would still give me the opportunity to work in the research/medical field but also still beable to have my community. I love being involved in my church, so Iam still able to help and mentor people. I guess I wouldn’t say I love my major or what im specifically doing. But I love how it gives me the opportunity to help other people. Not just by trying to create a cure or help heal people, but the ability to be a part of people’s lives. That is the part that gives me great joy in doing this major. Research demands other masters degrees but I wouldn’t mind going that route. I still have a year left to decide what I will do, but I know whatever I decide, it will atleast deal with people.

The most vivid dream I remember was a scary dream I had a few years ago. I was driving on a road I normally drive on. It was really dark and trees were everywhere. There are no lights. I was driving a volkswagon beetle, and the car stopped in the middle of the road. There were cars driving by but none of them stopped to help me. It was compelely dark. I walked out of the car to start walking. But a man started following me, he had a hat on. I couldn’t see his face cearly, and he wore all black. He had a vicious dog with him. I started running and the dog started running after me. I kept on running until I reached a house. It was a two story house and it was white and ancient looking. I ran to the door and started banging on the door. But it wouldn’t open and I kept on banging on the door and trying to open the door. The dog soon caught up with me and I was trying to fight the dog off. He bit my hand and then I woke up
