My Favorite Place

Hello Everyone,
   It’s hard to choose just one place as a favorite but I would have to say the beach.  Living in California we have a distinct advantage of such an amazing coastline unlike anywhere else. We are fortunate in this area to live within a short distance to several beaches. I lived in Santa Barbara for a little more than a year and the beaches were within walking distance.  I grew quite spoiled to say the least.  I find that the sound of the waves calming, even on the most stressful days. Taking the time to enjoy the sun and the sand puts everything into perspective and provides a unique sense of  tranquility.
 However, if relaxing at the beach isn't your cup of tea, it also offers several activities including hiking, surfing or sea kayaking to name a few. I personally would highly recommend taking a guided tour through sea caves.  It's definitely an adventure worth having! I hope you enjoy your next trip to the beach whether it be to relax or explore!

    Hi, Rhiannon,

    Wow, I also really love the sound of the crashing waves of the ocean. It's therapeutic! When I moved here in California three and a half years ago, I lived in Oxnard. There was a beach nearby, around 15 minutes drive, and I really wanted to spend more time there. But unfortunately, I didn't know how to drive then. I bet you miss being in Santa Barbara!

    Thank you for sharing!

    Cheers,
    Regina

Literary Analysis Week 5

Joaquin Miller      In his writing, Joaquin speaks about the ocean and atmosphere around him in California including the Sierras and the snow beyond.  He seems to be taken aback by the majesty of the area.  He speaks of the ocean and the mines and the opportunities that lie within for the miners and opportunities for trade across the sea.  The opportunities that await all those that venture there.  The way he describes the ocean it's as if he is using it as a metaphor for the endless opportunities he sees in California during this time period.  Being somewhat of a blank slate, so to speak, the opportunity to build a life would be up to those brave enough to make the journey.  The lives they choose to create out of this environment would be completely up to them and how they wish their lives to be.  This no doubt had some influence in his decision to return to California and make his home in the Oakland Hills after traveling abr...

Weekly Review Week 13

How did the reading go for you this week? What struck you the most in this week's reading? Were there ideas you struggled with?       Didn't read as much as I wanted to this week.  Work has been super busy so I will need to extend some of my scheduled reading this coming week in order to finish. Where did you do your best writing this week — in this class? In another class?  Have you discovered some good strategies for helping yourself focus on writing for this class?     My best writing this week was in my theatre class.  We had to write several pieces and discussion topics. Did you read something excellent written by someone else in the class? What made it stand out to you?       I read several posts from classmates this week and commented on several either for project planning or reading notes they took on books I am not reading for my project.  It's interesting to read about the other options people c...
