Dear Melinda,

Wow! you are not the person I thought you were! I first met you thinking you were a good student that i wouldnt have to worry about.  WRONG!! Your yelling at me first started this all.  But we chatted and are fine.  You now procrastinate and you neded to get your little tush in gear and fix your mess ups before you FAILLLL! come on girl!

love, Marlen

dear marlen,

I honestly have no problems with you. I mean yes we have had our quarrlellls but it was all in good fun and i truly do respect you.  My problems in this class were more within myself.  One being procrastination, this is a big one that i am trying to overcome.  The second and biggest one is trust.  Its not that I dont trust you, thats not it at all. Its that i dont trust anyone, ever.  I hate opening up and seeming vulnerable and being judged, not that your would do that but its still the concept of it.  I respect you and apperciate all you have done.

sincerly,

Melinda J. Borgnis

final paper free writing November 6, 2008

I really feel as though alot of my writing pretains to curret events or current happenings in my life, such as laura and rape and anorexia and kate and all those things and alot ties to my family and my friends because i trust them and they are such a huge part of who iam I am very hard to get to know and so the people that know me are held near to my heart. The things that happen in my life dont often get expressed and therefore when i write i feel as though i can open up more easily, which may also be a reason that i procrastinate and each peice of my writing seems as though it is lacking something or some passion in it.  I know in the back of my mind that someone else will read this peice and judge me on it or even get to know me from it and that scares me.  I have a problem with trust and letting people in so others reading my work worries me and i am often not whole heartedly honest in my work.  My best friends dont even  know alot of me because … people always leave and that is sooo freakin true the only ones who stay your whole life are your parents and for some they leave too, but not me mine will always be there because they loveme.

As a young student just beginning to distinguish her writing it is hard to find somewhere to publish these works. However there are many resources to help novice writers make their work more predominant. If the online resource is available to these young writers they then can more easily track the progress and begin the process of getting themselves published. Publishing on such sites can make it easier for these writers to branch out to a more vast audience.

These three sites provide the ability to publish writing while one is just a novice.

http://teacher.scholastic.com/writewit/index.htmThese three sites provide these novice writers with the chance to put their works on the web and have them looked at by professionals as well as other publishers.

ON each of these sites one places their essay or book on the site so others can look at it. This provides them with valuable feed back. It also allows the critique from others and the basis for revision.

 

joel through music October 23, 2008

Filed under: Uncategorized — melindaborgnis @ 10:10 pm

joel embraces his heritage and is a lot different than i expected.  When he put on jesse mccartney i nearly fell of my chair but it shows he has a sweet sentimental side that doesnt show often.  The spainish music he put on showed he is confident and likes who he is and i think that is a very possitive quality .

 

sam through music October 23, 2008

Sam is a very chill person. His music was very calming and fun and upbeat, just as i picture Sam to be.  Sam is super relaxed and nice and he seems to be someone that anyone could turn to for comfort.  I learned this through his music and they way if flowed and was soothing.  Sam’s choice in music was very eccentric but then again Sam is not your everyday person, not that that is a bad thing in the least.  He is just very unique and his choice in music exemplifies this .

I know that some people can not live with out music and i know im one of them so i think it is common that people are the same way.  I will write in a persuasive manner in order to hopefully convince people that it helps to listen. psycological effects connections, rapping to remember things, music is everwhere. does listening to it during tests help doing two things at once is better it helps you to remember what goes on. can we relate State trait memory. same music playing during test. but if you cant live without then how do you study without. sleeping listening to music is it an addiction.  can you be trasined off. more popular in society today. helping conentratrion

 

synesthesia October 14, 2008

Filed under: Uncategorized — melindaborgnis @ 9:37 pm

I do not feel as though I am synesthetic in the least and the test said the same thing that i thought. I tend not to associate colors with much because i am color blind.  The number test was a challenge but if i had more time i could have mastered it. The test to me was difficult and odd.

Stringy hair like things on top.  Two different things both long and plastic.  Easily bendable leather like fabric covers both and yet still doesnt cover enough.  hair stops into a smooth plastic covering.  Barbie doll.
