MAPLAN

     How I am gonna hack the Modernist research project is by working with a fellow classmate (Kristhian Marentes). We plan on comparing our authors and their modernist writings. Compare but also contrast their forms of Modernist writings. We will present our project via Prezi.
Kristhian's Author- Langston Hughes
My Author- Elizabeth Bishop

Joe College

     Today there was a presentation on how to find a college that best suits you. Topics like this one get really excited about my future. So far, I have been highly interested in Chico State. It offers a field in which I am interested in and that is recording arts because I have always been interested in music.
     There will be challenges with college. The first one is if I will get accepted and I see this as the major one. Of course, after you get accepted, you will have to pay for it some how. Though there are challenges, there will be great opportunities after college. When finding a job, I will be a good candidate for the position and, hey, I'm also bilingual!
