Week 1 English Post
Hola! I'm exhausted and should be going to sleep... but I'm not. So while watching TV and catching up on the VMAs (especially Lady Gaga's cross-dressing performance) and the recent highly-anticipated Jersey Shore fight, I have decided to post it up. So, I guess I'll share what I'm looking forward to here at Purdue. I'm really pumped to go Greek, and I'm getting a group of my friends to go to the Latin Ballroom Dance Club. Dharna is going with me! :) I'm also doing a Bible study every Monday night and I'm going to go to "Talk Wednesdays" at the Latino Cultural Center. I also am involved in the Women in Engineering program and the Society of women Engineers. I CANT WAIT FOR FOOTBALL GAMES! Football is my favorite sport to watch, and I already bought season tickets. In high school, I was always leading the cheering section. I went to every football game, regardless of how cold, rainy, or snowy it was. I'm very spirited and I love school sporting events. Oh, and according to this show I'm watching, Lindsay Lohan is suing Pitbull for making fun of her jail time by writing a lyric in his song "locked up like Lindsay Lohan." She's so classy. Right now there's an ad on TV about Alzheimer's..and it's making me really sad. :( That's one thing that I really wish didn't exist. Here's something for you to think about (and maybe reply to to get points): Why is it that relationships are only official (or officially over) once it's posted on facebook? (Maybe you could talk about how much we rely on technology, idk). Anyways, in my opinion, that's the worst way to define the status of a relationship. Goodnite! :) Oh, btw, Sept 2 is "National Wear Your College Colors Day" so BOILER UP! p.s. All of you should add me on facebook. Nite!

I love this post, and I think it is absolutely hilarious (just so you know)! That is so true that people rely a great deal on technology, especially with the relationship thing. People get a large amount of their social knowledge off of the internet. “It’s Facebook official” has become a common phrase. It is like a public announcement of if you are dating someone or not or if you have broken up. Personally, I do think it is quite funny that people like to post so many details about their lives on Facebook and strangers (everyone has those friends they and they are not quite exactly sure who the person is or if they know anyone who does know that person, but they add them anyway). When my cousin got engaged, I read about it on Facebook. When there is a major event or tragedy a lot of times, the first I hear about it is on Facebook. It is hard to determine if this strong connection is a good or bad thing. Don’t get me wrong I really do like Facebook, it is just the question of if or when it has gone too far and become to much of a thing we depend on! (Jayne)
ReplyDeletewoah! Writing a post while watching Lady Gaga's cross-dressing performance sounds amazing. Karlyn I was so eager to accompany you to the Latin Ballroom Dance Club, but I missed it may be because I had to post this lol. Anyhow, we'll surely go watch the football match together. I love watching it, but hate playing it.
ReplyDeleteOk, so talking about this news channel "FACEBOOK", I must support you by saying that facebook has intruded into our personal lives. The addiction has layered us that it is impossible to unwrap ourselves from it now. Just a couple of days ago, my friend’s status read “MINGLED!!! “ , and today she posted something about her break up. This sounded really stupid and weird to me. Why do people so easily expose themselves? Other than the relationship things, there are some people who update their status as “REALLY BUSY TODAY.” I wonder how do they even have time to post it on facebook even when they are so busy (as their status said).
Anyways, keeping facebook aside I should rather think about Alzheimer’s now. :)
