This spring semester in my 1301 art class we attended the Martha Fenstermarker Memorial Art Gallery at Laredo Community College. I must say that my attention was captivated by the art that was being displayed though out the gallery.

This acrylic on panel piece…

The first thing in the morning is to prepare an outfit for the day. Generally when I am getting dressed I think about the weather, what classes I have to attend, and how I am feeling in general. If I am a bit down and just want to be left alone, I will wear black so I don’t stick out, but I still look like I tried to get dressed and look presentable. If I am in a good, happy mood, then I will go with a lighter color such as blue or orange. When getting dressed in the morning, have you ever…

peaches are tree-ripened.

My mind is constantly flooded with images that are so vivid I can see them clear as day even with my eyes open. Some are like photographs that linger in…

dance music or other known as electric pop music is a popular style of music that originated in the 1950’s and 1960’s as a faint substitute for rock and roll. The songs on this album make you think of a song that empowers us or an upbeat song for a day at the beach. At the same time, it may make one think of a break up or the memory of a departed loved one. This side is shown by the songs such as “Done with love” and “Addicted to a Memory”. These songs are still upbeat but not as fast as the…

Describing Your Plaid My result on Personality Dimension Test indicates that Orange is my preferred style. My second style is Blue, the third style is Green, and my shadow style is Gold. I would choose Harry Potter’s story as my plaid. In the movie or in the book, Harry Potter is the character who would stand for my preferred style. He is kind of curious about everything and always seeking new things. In the first story, Harry is an independent and competitive student and a bit lonely in a…

Minority Languages: Chimariko All over the world many minority languages are struggling for their existence. At one point in time there was believed to be at least 200,000 languages. Now, there are only 6,909 languages left and even those languages aren’t safe from becoming extinct. Thanks to linguists from all over the world, we have an Ethnologue that keeps track of the vitality of all the different languages. When using the Ethnologue I researched the group of the Chimariko tribe and their…
