What Are The Benefits And Disadvantages of Collaboration

One of the benefits of working in a group would be that lots of the things that you learn in a group stays with you. Another great advantage to working in a group is that if you are struggling with the given material or work then your group members can pull you along and reteach the information as needed. A benefit to having to reteach something to someone in your group not only does it help out that person but you learn more by doing teaching them and it proves that you know the material. An advantage and disadvantage would be that it may become fun and entertaining working with the people in your group. The advantage to this is that you wouldn't dread doing the work but, the disadvantage to this is that you might have just a little to much fun and not end up doing the work and then you'll end up cramming to get the job done or what happens most of the time is that it'll end up only being one person doing all the work and doing it at the last minute and in that case when it comes time to present only that one person knows all the information and everyone else is sitting up there in front of the class thinking, I don't know what to say and they sit there with a look on there face thinking I didn't do any of the work.

And Now For Something Completly Different

Blog #1: What do you consider your home? Is it a place? A house? Your family? A person?

I would think of my home as being a place of comfort. A place that you know the most about and a place that you would feel safe at, the place that you go when you need help or comfort. A place that you call home should be your place of refuge. I would say that personally that for me what I would say is home is when I'm hanging out with my friends from church. That's were I hang out and spend most of my time. Another more litteral term for home would be where I live get my meals and sleep. The reason my friends would be what I consider home is because I know where I stand and also because it's were I'm the most comfortable and it's entertaining. When I 'm bored and have nothing to do I go and find some of my friends and it gives me something to do. Most of the time I just ride my bike down to my church and there's usally someone to hang out with there and if not then there's someone I can help out, something I can do.

Last Week

I take the bus to and from Petaluma right and on Tuesday I was taking the bus home and guess what. I fall asleep on the way back, I miss my stop and the bus driver doesn't stop to wake me up till he's on his way back to Santa Rosa and he let's me off in Cotati and gives me a transfer for the next bus going to Petaluma.

So...

  1. Apparently I say really random stuff and I have a magical backpack of food and I can make the food magicaly apear in my hand without anyone noticing.
