This week was our last week in class it a bitter sweet moment. I learned a lot in this class things that I never knew or never saw in a specific point of view. It was a good experience being in that class all my classmates were really fun and although i didn't know them all it was good getting to have discussions with them. Im a sure that we all learn something from this class, i know i did. working with my group while it was a challenging project because of our schedules we all manage to make it work and came up with a pretty awesome project, that at the end we couldn't present, but overall it was fun actually making the project, i could relate to some of my group members, in that we commute far to go to school, we work and go to school. I learned a lot from them and of them, that was a really fun project to  do with a group and i usually don't like working in groups but this worked very well. We all took the final and wish everyone good luck on it. It was nice having you all for a class. I wish you all happy holidays and have fun with your family and friends.
In class last week we had a discussion about about and technology. We talked about Facebook and how it has impacted our society. Facebook has gone global the majority of people use it. It has become a part of our lives, now people talk more through Facebook than they do in person. Family can talk to other family members that live far away through Facebook they can message each other, chat, see pictures of other family members and even video chat. When people use it to contact their love ones Facebook is a good source of technology, but when it is being used constantly and it has become a way of life and taken over someones life, for example making someone less social, or only want to be in Facebook all day and do nothing else is a bad source of technology. In the class discussion we had also talked about that Facebook helping people who are not very social help them open up with people and become social towards Facebook, we talked about how Facebook is all around the world a lot of countries have access to Facebook even in the poorest country, but there are some countries where Facebook is not allowed therefore it is blocked. whatever be the case Facebook is everywhere and if it is a good thing or a bad thing depends on the person, because we all have different opinions about it.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. I have always wondered what is the purposed of Thanksgiving, it is a time to give thanks for what you have and the people that are around you. This Thanksgiving I gave thanks for my parents and my family still being around with me, although it was a bitter sweet moment because not all my family could be home with me. This year will be a bitter sweet remaining of the year Thanksgiving and Christmas and New Years will not be the same. The reason is because my brother is deployed he wont spend the end of the year with us and he wont spend the beginning of the year with us either. It is very sad he can't be home with us, but I know he is out there fighting for this country, which i will thank him for the rest of my life. Not only him, but every man and woman that is deployed for the holidays, they are defending this country for us and that is why we should be thankful to them for that. There are many different ways to celebrate the holidays and to some people it might seem wrong, but don't judge what are other people's traditions or ways of celebrating. My family is weird in away we love to cook together, then go to my aunts and uncles house and cook some more then we sit together and eat and catch up on things. Which is pretty typical, but what some people may judge or not like is that in the night we all go shopping for christmas gifts its not cause of the sales, well that helps but that is also a way we communicate with each other and spend time with each other is what we do.
