1. What is your first name only: Jennifer
2. Why are you taking this class and what do you hope to learn: I am taking this class because a friend said it was very interesting and the subjects are very straightforward.
3. How far do you live from SRJC main campus : I live 9.94 miles from campus
4. What do you think of when you think "California"? Does this differ from what non-Californians think and if so, how?: I think of California as home, where thoughts and ideologies are sophisticated as well as regulations to help our state stay 'ahead of the curve'. I also think of it as the perfect, balanced spot, as the beach is less than an hour away, and the Sierras are only a day trip away for some skiing. My view of California is skewed from non-Californians. One time I was in Europe and came across a group of teens from Colorado and the first questions out of their mouths after realizing we were from California were, "Why aren't you blond? and Do you surf?" Thus being said, my view on California is significantly different than non-natives.

5. Have you created a blog or webpage in the past?: No, this is my first blog/webpage.
6. Regarding computers, are you on a mac or a pc? I am on a pc.
7. What was your January 20th, 2009 like, or what do you remember of this day?: This day will always be remembered for me because 40, 50, 60 years from now, I will be able to tell me grandchildren of the inaugural ceremonies of the first African American President of the USA. I will remember the mall in Washington DC crowded with millions of people from all different walks of life celebrating together on common ground.
