Assignment 1a

1. What is your first name only (NOT last name)
Kendra
2. Why are you taking this class and what do you hope to learn
I am taking this class because I need one more humanities class to transfer to a UC, but I do like humanities classes. In my experience they have forced me to choose books and films that I probably wouldn't choose on my own. I want to learn as much as possible from each assignment this semester.
3. How far do you live from SRJC main campus (go to google, maps to get the SPECIFIC answer; for this you type in your address and 1501 Mendocino Ave, Santa Rosa, CA to find the exact mileage. EXAMPLE: 2.6 miles from campus. The goal here is to use new tools available to us. You can always come back to edit this)
According to google maps I live 52.9 miles away from the main SRJC campus.
4. What do you think of when you think "California"? Does this differ from what non-Californians think and if so, how?
When I think of California I think of mild weather, the beach, and orchards and farmland in the central valley. I think that a lot of non-Californians think of year round warm weather, beaches, and movie stars when they think of California.
5. Have you created a blog or webpage in the past?
I have a page of facebook, that counts right?
6. Regarding computers, are you on a mac or a pc?
I am on a mac computer. I LOVE Apple products!
7. What was your January 20th, 2009 like, or what do you remember of this day?
I don't remember to many details about January 20th, 2009. I took my older kids to school. When I came home I watched the inauguration of Barack Obama on t.v. most of the morning and afternoon. I also remember that we had some beautiful winter weather! It was just over 70F at my house that day.
