The Adventures of Speech class Part I

In the winter my sister and I enrolled in the same class... Speech 1A (That's the second time that happens, first time we took Italian together by accident). Now if someone a year ago told me that I'd be taking SPCH 1A in the winter, I would have told him or her, " Yeah right! That's going to be one of the last classes I take here!" I think most people can speak in public but when they are forced to do it, that's when all the butterflies and nervous habits come in to play. But actually I really liked my speech class, I learned many things about myself. The professor I had didn't right away have the class giving speeches. He kind of eased us into it which I really liked. The way he taught us was really straight forward and to the point, sprinkling some experiences he had encountered. The very first day of class, as he said my name and then my sister's name, he asked if we were twins. I was kind of baffled at his question because usually people can see we are related but not twins! Just to make things easier and none of us would have to explain we said, " Yes! Twins." But eventually he learned that we were triplets because my sister told him. And he announced it to the class >.< Also on the very first day we had to get to know someone and present them to the class (Icebreaker). Come to find out, there was another person who was part of fraternal triplets. My sister and I just looked at each other, shocked. We've never had someone who was also a triplet in our class. Her name was Cynthia. Her along with everyone else in the class had become a little family. Every time it was speech day, no one was judging anyone because everyone knew we were all on the same boat... anxious, nervous, ready to do a good job and get it over with. The first time my sister went up to do her speech, it was quite an experience. Our first speech was impromptu, so if one thinks about it, it's not that big of a deal for some. My sister on the other hand, when she was up there, she let her nerves get the best of her. In the middle of her speech (speech is about 1 to 2 minutes long) she froze, she could not go on. I was trying to cheer her on in the audience but i think i just made it worst because she started to tear up! OH NOOO!!! 0.0 Some of the people I have gotten close to just looked at me like, "Poor thing" The silence lasted a good chunk of time when all on the sudden she started again! I was in my seat, saying " YES! YES!" She finished her speech and sat down. There was an awkward feeling in the air. Some more classmates went and did a good job. Then it was my turn, I could see why my sister was so nervous, it all happens so quickly! Usually when I give presentations, I make people laugh. I'm not sure what I'm doing but they just do. So when I went up there I started talking about my dog ( that was my topic) and I realized when I'm nervous I talk too much. So I went into details about my dog's habit and what she looked like and that she had recently passed away. And people were laughing. I was a little embarrassed because I'm not sure if they were laughing at me or with me because I was sort of laughing too and at the end of my speech my professor pointed out that I really like being in front an audience which I do not! But everyone agreed with him so it might be true... I'm not sure though. I felt bad though because my sister went before me and she froze. And she told me when we got out of class that that's how she wanted to be. I felt horrible! There's a part two and three to this story! So stay tuned! ;)

P.S: I was trying to fix this post, and I think I did it?

Jen is Jen

While I was eating breakfast, my sister was taking pictures of my brother and I. At first I didn't notice, but at one point she was sitting next to my and she leaned right next to me. I looked at her like, "What are you doing?" Then she took a picture. Now usually I don't like taking pictures but I let it slide this time (she's been in a bad mood lately and now she seems better). Then she leaned on my brother and did the same thing. My sister Jen, is really nice but when she's angry, she angry! (especially when she's hungry >.<) She's a pretty shy person but there are times when she's jumping off the walls. She is studying to be a speech pathologist ( helps people with speech problems) which I think is pretty cool :) (I'd do that.) She is really tech savvy like Josh (I'm the only that's not too crazy about technology) She is pretty determined and a go getter, likes get things done fast. Once she has an idea on her mind she won't stop until it's followed through. This one time she really wanted me to talk to some guy I met but I didn't want to (I'm pretty shy myself). And she said, "If you don't go I'm going to make you go. Nothing is going to happen! JUST GOOOO!!!! And I still refused! And after going back and forth, I reluctantly agreed. Then she asked if she can watch. NOOOOOO!!!! You can't watch! That was the deal. If she was going to make me go then she couldn't be there >.< And I went to talk to him. OH it was sooo nerve racking!!! On my way to meet him, I bumped into one of my friends, he thought it was funny that my sister was making me do this. And he said, "Don't chicken out!" How did I get myself into this! This is all Jen's fault! But it was fun, now he's my friend haha all thanks to Jen. One of these days, I'm going to make her do something like that!
That's it from me for now, stay in tune! ;)

 

 

 

P.S: This post is a little older than it's shown, I was trying to fix something and I deleted it >.<
My blog is getting the best of me!

Interview with another Triplet

Right now I'm in midst of conducting an interview with one of my neighbors. It's a little difficult because we are both really busy. I'm a little nervous but shouldn't be. It can't be that hard? We will see once it happens! I was trying to come up with really good questions to ask him but I got some pretty bland ones down. (Need to do more brainstorming before the interview!) Here are the questions I have so far:

1.      What is the most common reaction you receive when people learn you’re a triplet?
2.      What is it like to be identical?
3.       Do people often compare the three of you?
4.      What do you guys do for your birthday?
5.      What makes you different from your brothers?

I was trying not to ask questions similar to the ones that people ask me. (That's sort of boring...) Though in this case I think the answers would be different. Hopefully this interview is a success and he will be willing to do a few more interviews in the future. I'll will try to get a picture as well but I can't guarantee that >.< (He's is really handsome in my opinion, though I think he's wouldn't like me saying that) Wish me luck! Stay tune for more! ;)

P.S: I wish I didn't say they looked like David Beckahm because now I'm comparing them! I should say they resemble him in a way? They are really handsome guys I promise you ladies that! Gentlemen sorry for talking about other gentlemen. I'm just going to be quiet now....

Pushing Buttons

Josh is considered to be the smartest of all three of us. I do agree, he is very intelligent. But sometimes I think it goes to his head. Sometime I just feel like, "Ehh I was just asking you a simple question, never mind! He's talking to me about A Modest Proposal (He's reading it for his English class) And what he's saying is interesting but I already read it before and he acts like I have no clue what he's talking about (I'm not educated enough I guess! haha). Anywho, now I'm just  pressing his buttons! ^-^  It's so hard to get Josh aggravated! So when I get the chance, I never pass it up. (How mean huh!...not) Now he's all frustrated! MUHAHAHA! He'll get over it!

Team

My sister and I are now a team! This does sound odd, but right now our classes are getting the best of us. We were talking about it last night (I'm starting to see that most of the conversation I have with my siblings are at the dinner table when it's midnight.) She is not doing as well as she hoped she was in one of her classes and I'm in the same boat as her! So now we motivating each other to do better! It's sort of like when exercising, one bring a work out buddy to help motivate and push one another. We can do this! I think first though, on my part I have to get my priorities figured out again because they seemed to have been shifted before my eyes! >.< In other news we only have 8 more weeks to go! Have the semester is done! Yay! Stay tune for more ;)

Art by Luigi

Yesterday during one of our lengthy conversations, I asked Josh if he will allow me to post some of his art work (Luigi is one of Josh's many nicknames! >.<) And from the kindness of his heart he reluctantly said "Si!" But he's super nervous about it, because he rarely likes people to see them. So ladies and gentlemen. I give you... ART BY LUIGI!!!
P.S: Stay tune for future posts like this ;)...Maybe even MORE...

Big booty!

Artist's comment: "I really like how these turned out and I have a lot more drawings to show. Some of these are pretty old though, so I have improved since then. I still got a long way to go but I really love to draw and I do it every single day. :3 -J.L

April Fools!

Today is our birthday! YAY! Most people when they learn this ask, "So what do you guys do for your birthdays?" We really don't do much for birthday I'm not sure why. Usually our family takes us out to eat and that's about it. I've never celebrated April Fools before, but today I decided tp attempt to clelebrate it! My friend has been bugging me to put up his picture because he's the president of an organziation on campus, and it's my job to do it. SO I finally put it up for him to see. ALL OVER THE DISPLAY!!! I hope he likes it. He better like! Tonight I'm going out with my siblings to eat, have a dinner. More to come soon. Stay in tune ;)

Anissa, Jen, and Josh
