2. Why are you taking this class and what do you hope to learn

3. How far do you live from SRJC main campus (go to google, maps to get the SPECIFIC answer; for this you type in your address and to find the exact mileage. EXAMPLE: 2.6 miles from campus. The goal here is to use new tools available to us. You can always come back to edit this)
I am 1849 miles away from the SRJC campus. (Arlington,TX)



4. What do you think of when you think "California"? Does this differ from what non-Californians think and if so, how?

When I think of California, I think of great weather, beautiful beaches, majestic mountains, breathtaking sunsets, and amazing state parks. I also think of a melting pot of people and cultures. In Texas, some people think that Californians have an accent. When I talk people notice that I do not have a Texan accent. Mostly people are very welcoming here and think that we have traveled a long way. I think Hollywood has an impact on people's perception of Californians but alas that is only a small area of the state.

5. Have you created a blog or webpage in the past?

Yes, I have made a blog for INTDS4, and Facebook.

6. Regarding computers, are you on a mac or a pc?

I am on a PC.

7. What was your January 20th, 2009 like, or what do you remember of this day?

I was glued to the TV wishing that I was in D.C. It was a great day in history and I will never forget it. I remember talking with my husband and my daughter of the significance of that day.
