    1:How are you doing today?
    Today I am doing good. I had a pretty good day but at the same time I am kind of anxious because in the upcoming weeks I will be getting a major producer done and I still haven’t wrapped my head around it.

    2:What is your favorite color?
    My favorite color is pink , specifically baby pink. That is my go-to color when doing my nails down to my sheets. But, is hard for me to wear it unless I like the color on the type of style the clothes are or the footwear.

    3:What is your favorite food?
    My favorite food is this I guess Dominican dish called “espaguetis con tostones” which literally translate to “Spaghetti with fried green plantain”

    4:What is your favorite movie?
    So this question is kind of tricky because I have a couple of movies I really enjoy and if it comes to one I watch all the time would be “Hairspray”. I love movies that are musical.

    5:What is your favorite hobby?
    My favorite hobby is getting my nails done, mostly my hands. I think i have a problem lol because I get them done every two-three weeks depending on my money situation that week (sadly). Besides my nails I love singing ( I don’t have a singing voice) , I sleep like a bear and many more things.

    6:WOULD YOU PREFER ME TO HAVE THE DAY THE ASSIGNMENTS ARE DUE EACH WEEK BE WEDNESDAY AT 11:59 PM INSTEAD OF SUNDAY at 11:59 PM? If everyone agrees, I will revise the dates the modules/ assignments are due to be Wednesday. It must be unanimous for me to make the change.

    I would not be bothered by due date changes. But , for me it might be difficult because I have other assignments due on Wednesday. I will be fine either way :).

      Tamaris — Thanks for your comment. I don’t know the movie The Kissing Booth 2 — I will have to look it up! Several other people in ECE 209 enjoy make-up too! I wonder, do you do your own make-up or other people’s make-up?

    2. Jasmine Olavarria

      Hey Tamaris!

      i saw the kissing booth part 1 and i can’t really remember it so i haven’t watched the 2nd because now i have to go back and watch the first and after reading that it is your favorite movie just might motivate me to watch it tonight hehe :))

Lastly,I would prefer the assignments to be due Wednesday instead of Sunday if possible.

    1) How are you doing today?
    Hi, I am doing well today except for the fact that I am a little exhausted. It has been a busy week. I am currently at work getting some homework done so for the most part I am happy that my job gives me the time and opportunity to work on homework as well when it’s a slow day.
    2) What is your favorite color?
    My favorite color is turquoise. I started loving this color when I was a little girl. I found out this was my birth stone and ever since young I favortized the color.
    3) What is your favorite food?
    My favorite food is mashed plantains with fried cheese, cooked salami and dipped in vinegar then cooked in oil for a few minutes.
    4) What is your favorite movie?
    My favorite movie is Matilda. I grew up watching this movie almost everyday. I was so convinced that I was able to do magic as well. Matilda was the reason I became a great reader at just 5 years old. She inspired me so much.
    5) What is your favorite hobby?
    My favorite hobby is reading. I love reading non-fiction, urban books, romance novels, and self-help books.
    6) WOULD YOU PREFER THE DAY THE ASSIGNMENTS ARE DUE EACH WEEK BE WEDNESDAY AT 11:59 PM instead of Sunday at 11:59 PM? If everyone agrees, I will revise the dates the modules/ assignments are due to be Wednesday. It must be unanimous for me to make the change, and would start with Module 5.
    This would be so helpful being that most of my classes assignments are due sunday. It’ll be helpful to have assignments due Wednesdays because this will give us the opportunity to plan and stretch out what’s due for each class. When all assignments are due Sunday’s I feel as if I’m being attacked and having to rush my work although I am working on it all week.

    i prefer the assignment to be due on sunday’s as they are now being i have other assigment’s due on wednesday’s.
