#2 One of my favorite movies is Come September with Rock Hudson and Gina Lolabrigida
#3 If I was an animal I would be a dolphin because they are smart, chipper and all around nice and nifty animals.
#4 I would have to say on a scale of 1 to 5 I would have to be a "3.5" for I feel ready for the challenge but reserve the right to change my mind at any time.
#5 In Response to Rene P.- It's good to be feared and respected

1. HELLOOOOOOO I'm Kharyn H. [like Karen] && I'm in Coms 2 ;D

2. I don't have just one favorite movie but I'll slim my list down to The Wood

3. I thought about what kind of animal I would be... I couldn't figure it out so I asked my boyfriend... he said that since I didn't ask him if it was a living or stuffed animal, he said that I could be a Teddy Bear because I'm cute && cuddly or I could be a panther or Jaguar because they are exotic but them I decided that I would pick a giraffe lol... if you've ever seen the movie Madagascar, the giraffe Melman is so much like me. He's always worried about something and he's a hypochondriac. I wouldn't go to the extreme to say I am a hypochondriac but I do worry that I have symptoms of something very often ;D

4. I would rate myself maybe a 3 because I'm not exactly losing my mind over having to speak in front of the class but I'm not completely comfortable with speaking in front of people that I don't know. If I were in high school still, I would say a 5 because I know them and it would be nothing to get up and speak in front of them. But I'm fairly comfortable to get up and speak and I'm always ready to make a fool of myself, it's a habitual thing! lol

5. Melanie M.... I like your attitude girl!!! Get 'em MamaZz!!

1. Hey everyone! I'm Melanie H. and I'm in COMS 2.

2. My favorite movie would have to be... this is soooo hard.... I have no idea... I guess I'd have to go with... Gladiator. Russell Crowe is waaaay hot in it. Joaquin Phoenix aint all that bad either.

3. If I was an animal I would have to be a turtle. My best friend calls me turtle because I'm slow at everything I do.

4. Going into the class, I was probably at stress level 4. After two classes, though, I'm probably at about a 2. I took a COMS class last semester and I sucked at making speeches!

5. Tara S., I think being able to fly whenever you want would be a lot of fun.

1.Mai V. Coms 2
2. Nobuta No Produce (international video ^_^)it's very good, funny too.
3. A fish because the ocean is so exciting yet very very scary.
4. 4, this class sound fun but there's a lot of work to do then again i bet we all can manage it.
5. Hi Melanie H., a turtle ^_^ i have a friend we call turtle too although he actually does look similar to a turle.

1. Bill S. Coms 2

2. The Princess Bride

3. I would be a dolphin. Supposedly, they are the smartest animals on the plants besides hums, but they're still dumb enough to get caught in a tuna net. I like that.

4. 5

5. The comment left by Lindsay Z lacked a sense of reality, and seemed overly superficial and noncommitive. Also, she did not name the person she was critiquing in question five, leading to confusion and adding to the overall feeling that the posting was done without any thought or effort.

1.)My name is Ashley F. and I am in coms2
2.)I cant pick just one favorite movie because I am a movie-aholic but if I must I'll go with sixteen candles. You always need to throw in a good 80's flick!
3.)I would have to go with the running joke that I would be a ferret. Because I have a longer torso and shorter legs like they do. They also love to sleep and when they are awake they are hyper.
4.) I would probably say I am at a good 4 going into this class.
5.)I think that Bill could have been a little bit more considerate of other peoples feelings when he commented on the way Lindsay Z. wrote. Its just a fun simple little blog, its not rocket science, there was no writing requirements listed.

1. Lauren B. I am in coms 2.
2. The Big Lebowski!!
3. I would be a wild mustang, because they are free and strong, and full of life.
4. I would rate my feelings of confidence a 4. I feel like it will be a great semester!
5.Daphne- I would also like to be a lion because of it's strength and endurance as well. A lion would be my second choice.

1)My name is Kati K, and I'm currently in your coms 5 class.
2)I love the movie Crash, Spy Kids 1 and 2, the Matrix, Ghost, Notebook, and the list goes on. There's too many greats to pick a favorite.
3)I would be a bird or a unicorn. A bird because I always wanted to be able to fly, and a unicorn cuz I said.
4)I would rate the class a 3.99 because I am not shy, and I love to speak my mind in front of a class or anyone for that matter but I don't know what is expected of me yet or how time consuming this class will be.

5. I agree with Jason...FIREFOX RULES!!!

I'm Kayla P. and I am in coms 5. I have so many favorite movies its hard to tell which one is my most favorite. I would be a horse just because. My feeling would have to be a 3 because public speaking makes me really nervous and I would rather not do it. I think I feel the same way about the class as Lisa B.

Anonymous said...

1.) Lou Saelee. Coms 5.
2.) My favorite movie is Back To The Future Part I.
3.) If I were an animal, I'd be some type of bird just so I can fly.
4.) Probably a 3. In between because I have no idea what I'm getting into yet.
5.) Kyle Rattay in Coms 2 says his favorite movie is Wedding Crashers and so does a lot of other people but I still haven't seen it yet. So hopefully I can catch the flick when I have the chance. It sounds pretty funny.

1. Shelby S., ComS 2, Sec 3

2. I have soooo many favorite movies, its hard to pick just one. I would have to go with Love Actually and How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days as my top 2! Total chick-flicks, huh? I am such a girl, geez!!!

3. If I could be an animal, I would like to be a monkey only because they are hilarious, loving, and just about the all-time coolest animal on the planet. Of course, thats just my opinion:-)

4. i HATE HATE HATE talking in front of the class, so I would have to say I am a 1.5. Its not like I am going to puke, but I am def nervous! group speeches are WAY better. Does anybody agree?

5. To Travis W- Anchorman is HILARIOUS!!! That group of guys make the greatest movies EVER!!! Wedding Crashers, DodgeBall, Old School etc...CLASSICS!!!

1)Elizabeth Zepeda, Coms 2 Sec 3

4) I rate this class a 2 becuase i hate giving presentations. I get nervous. I prefer speaking as ma group.
5) To Shelby- How to lose a guy in 10 days was a great movie. I enjoyed it and it has some true facts.

1.) Jason M. Coms 2

2.) I won't insult my movies by choosing

3.) I wanted to say something deep like an owl because he's considered wise and gets to see the world in a completely new way, but I'd have a problem with some of the digestion habits... Can I be a person. Actually, can I be a person who flies. I could deal with that.

4.) I'll go with a four for this class. I often get accused of being too effective an arguer. I like to find the wholes in peoples logic and play devil's advocate, and I am comfortable in front of groups, so that much I'm not worried about, but I never like to give absolutes because they're usually false.

5.) I'm gonna break form and make a general comment about people's comments and that is that most people commented on the movie choice of other students as that evaluative is something that is very simple for everyone to relate to.

#1. What is your first name and last initial/are you coms 2 OR 5?

Brandon Wolfe. In Coms 2.

#2. What is you favorite movie?

GHOSTBUSTERS.

#3. If you were an animal, what would you be and why?

I'd be a wolf because then I wouldn't have to legally change my name. And I'd also be vicious and fearsome, which is an added bonus.

#4. On a scale of 1 to 5, "1" for scared /angry enough to puke/punch something and "5" for EZ street dawg, I could do it with one hand tied behind my back, rate your feeling going into this class.

That would be #1. Public speaking is right up there with cliff-diving in my book. And I mean in the scary sense, not the thrilling one.

#5. Respond constructively to someone else's posting.

The person who said their favorite movie is WEDDING CRASHERS should probably see more movies.

Justin R. I am in Sandra Wheeler's ComS 2 class.

#2. What is you favorite movie?

Definitely Pirates of the Caribbean with Johnny Depp. I've seen it over 400 times. Real talk. "Yo, Ho, Yo, Ho, A Pirate's Life For Me."

#3. If you were an animal, what would you be and why?

I would be a monkey because they can go just about anywhere and they are very smart.

#4. On a scale of 1 to 5, rate your feeling going into this class.

I'm a 5. I don't care at all what people think of me, whether I'm the center of attention or not. I actually like learning and find it exciting to teach others (via public speaking) about something I've learned.

#5. Respond constructively to someone else's posting.

Whoever said they're favorite movie was Ghostbusters needs to watch more movies.

#1 Tibon Adam coms 2

#2 Starship troopers

#3 Id probable be a Lion, because they nap alot and basically run things with their quiet confidence, but the other animals know not to mess with it, because lion do get their prey.

#4 I would have to say a 4 im not confident to the point where this class is going to be easy, but definately not a nervous wreck.

#5 I love happy gilmore too, its probably in my top 5 movies.
