Music List #4

List five songs that mention sex/drugs in the lyrics:

1. Herojuana- NOFX
2. Blaze It- Bone Thugs and Harmony
3. Rough Rider- Knock Out
4. We Are All on Drugs- Weezer
5. Express Yourself- N.W.A.

Out of these 5 songs that I found in my musical library my favorite has to number 1, Herojuana by NOFX because this is one of my favorite bands and in the song they talk about how drugs are just drugs and don't judge. People are going to do drugs.

Study Tip #6

When doing homework start with the hardest or most important assignment and work down towards the easiest/less important because then you will be happier that you accomplished your tasks. When you do the easiest one last you always feel like that whole homework time was easy.

Exercise 6.6

Cultural Geography
1. My teachers cognitive level of development

• attitude/behavior toward students: facilitator
• instructional methods used: mostly lectures
• types of assignments/activities:independent reading and exercises
• types of examination: multiple choice, true/false, matching
• course policies: mandatory class attendance
• teaching styles: allows for opinions

2. My cognitive level of development

• attitude toward teacher: respectful and attentive, always at class
  
• I am comfortable with the teaching methods
  
• I do not complete the readings but I always do the assignments
• I do my best on my assignments and it reflects on my grade
• I complete and pass my tests in this class
• I am comfortable with the class policies

3. This can be useful because then we both are on the same path of what we want to accomplish during class time and we respect each other. This can hinder my learning if their is an area where I do not enjoy or disagree with.

MUSE workshop #1

When I went to the nutrition workshop I thought there was going to be a lot of facts thrown at me. What I got from the workshop was a lot of helpful information and ideas to change my diet. We did this Nutrition Scorecard that tallied up what you ate on the previous day. It added points to how much good food I ate and subtracted points for the bad food I ate. Something that I thought was really interesting was that timing is everything when you eat. Timing your diet and eating the right proportions will increase your metabolism, helps with digesting easier, and it controls your appetite. Everyone knows that we need to eat portions according to the food pyramid. It is true and when I do not eat like the pyramid I notice my bad attitude and health, but when I eat the way the pyramid plans out I feel better about my self and I am more active in the day. What I also learned was super foods. Super foods are foods that are high in protein and high in vitamins, some examples are the following: sweet potatoes, tomatoes, fate free/1% milk, broccoli, wild salmon, whole grains, brown rice, citrus fruits, squash, and bok choy. I actually learned a lot by going to this workshop and I enjoyed leaning about what I eat.

Interesting part in Fever

In chapter 2 of Fever, on page 38-39, there is a part that is interesting to me. When girl groups started to form there was a lot more attention brought around sex. In the mid-sixties the mainstream of rock was getting more involved in expressing ideas about sex. This is interesting because I did not think that girl groups started this, i always though it was guy singers that started singing about sex. The Rolling Stones did start singing about sex, but women groups did bring the songs into motion. The "sexy" music also traveled into movies and magazines.
