Miah Diaz First Day of Spring Break Camp 2010

Today is my first day at my spring break camp. My fellow Latinita friends and I went to go see Polly Mackey at Mi Casa. The show was wonderful! Polly and her band were fabulous! What I liked most was her voice, and how she sang, and her lyrics. I like how she comes up with them by playing the music first and then adding words. Before she would sing she would tell us a little bit about her song, and then when she sang, you could hear the words and see that they meant something. Polly Mackey and t… Continue

Jasmine Li Quing Blankenship SXSW

Today was so cool! We went to SXSW! We got to see Polly Mackey and The Pleasure Principle! Their band is so cool! They played really well and the people in the band were so nice. They all had a really nice sound when they played their instruments. When we interviewed them, Polly was really sweet to us and when she sings she has true meaning behind them. We had lots of loaded fun! When we left and driving in the car we saw Leslie! He was wearing a purple wig and a weird red dress type thing and h… Continue

cloud.eah Living in a Virtual World: Hypnotized

How much time do you spend in front of your computer screen? About how many times do you check your cell phone? I have a theory that I am hypnotized by my phone and computer. I mean sometimes I am sleeping and I guess I feel my phone vibrating and I open the texts. I guess auto mode texts back because I don't remember texting. When I wake up I see that I've been having conversations while I sleep! Also at work today I was telling Veronica and Gloria how I get lost in the computer while I am work… Continue

Claudia Ch:4 Lessons to be learned...

Hello Ladies, as we all know that Spring Break is coming up, and we all know that we tend to slack off during this week. My suggestions to you is DON’T DO IT this Spring Break!! I spoke to a couple of teachers from High School and professors from the university and basically told me that “once students come back from break, it’s like we are playing catch up with them.” They also said, “Most of their students turn in poorly written assi

cloud.eah Living in a Virtual World: Life before the Internet

I think to myself, what was life like before the internet? I got my first computer when I was in 7th grade and I begged my parents to get AOL. My best friend Lynette had internet at her house and every morning I would walk to her house to get a ride to school. She would let me in and she would log on to her computer and I would hear "You got mail!" I wanted that! My parents go us a computer for Christmas with AOL and I would email and IM Lynette every day after school. That was the thing, Instan… Continue

Claudia Ch:3 Lessons to be learned...

Over the week, I was able to communicate with a teacher who has been teaching in El Paso for over thirty years. Talking to her about her youth and giving me an idea on the type of society that El Paso had back in the 1960s, she was telling me that the youth of El Paso has not changed much.

This educator told me that bac

Carolina Madrid Gratitude goes a long way

While I was in Morocco, Africa last semester, I came across a girl who wasn't wearing the long, loose, hooded robe that I'd seen other women wearing in the streets. But come to think of it, it was the first girl I had actually gotten the opportunity to talk to. We had been surrounded by men our entire trip -- our guides, shop owners, hotel receptionists -- were all men.


I talked to her for about 30 minutes

Cristina Chavez Feminist Eyes- An Introduction to My Blog Series

Hi. I am introducing a new blog series about feminism in today's world. There are so many misconceptions about feminism and what is, but in the simplest definition, feminism is equality for everyone, men and women. Feminism is still relevant today because discrimination and inequality still exist in the year 2010. It's everywhere. Many people believe in equality but are afraid of the word feminist because of all the negative stereotypes. The most common one I've heard is that feminists hate m
