Every Monday morning, I will post a topic on my blog, which you are reading these instructions from. Once you have read my topic, you will need to leave a comment on my page. However, this "comment" should be more than one sentence. It should be your response to the question I am posting on my blog. I would really like to encourage you all to try to write as much as you can. Although I would like for you to write as much as you can, please do not spend more than 30 minutes writing them.
If you read a comment from your classmates that you find to be interesting, feel free to comment to them as well! Lets try to make this as interactive via the Internet as possible. Your responses and comments will need to be completed by 8:00 p.m. each Friday that a blog topic is posted. There will be no exception! Therefore, plan on completing this assignment before the Friday deadline in order to ensure that you receive full credit, which will be 10 points for each week.
On a final note, these blogs are intended to be fun and to allow you to further practice writing in English in a variety of avenues. Be adventurous and express yourselves! Although we may occasionally use some of your blog entries for grammar practice, these blogs are primarily focused on content. Have fun!!

Topic 3: First Impression of California
What was your first impression of California? Has your impression of California changed now that you have been here for a while? How has it changed?
When i first time came in California,i feel very cold and strange.I been California 4 month,my impression is change. I like California sunshine,I like American,because they are is very nice.
Did not change the feeling about California is that seen her in movies, I hear them, but I was surprised that a dream come true to study in California.
I'm glad to hear that it was a dream come true to study here in California! In the movies you watched, how accurate were their portrayal of life in California?
When I came to California , I surprised the weather was very hot this is the first impression for me . but now it is changed because the weather in California has changed. The second impression was the people are very friendly they help each other. Finally the last impression was the system in USA is different than the system in my country .
The first impression i take it of California,it's very very hot and also i found it quit and mandate of the population is very fantastic and also i did not find a lot of displaced persons and security is wonderful. But now about the weather there is a big difference since iI arrived here so this is the change since I be here .
i was in Saudi arabia i talk with my family about study out Saudi Arabia they said are you crazy ...!!!
I said why ..??

Every day, more than enthusiasm, and i hope i Live here
I don't know why I hate California in the first time but I don't like it . now I still don't like it . maybe the weather or because the city is expensive or both
I am sorry to read that you still dislike California. :o( I am sure it is significantly different from your country, and I cannot imagine how difficult that must be. :o(
when I came to California I was realy happy because I could see my dear friends and my aunt. I've not seen them for three years. Second when I came to school I was not happy because all the students are younger than me so I did not feel good that time but after almost one month my feel changed and now I am realy happy and feel good also I am enjoying with my young friends.
when I came to California I was really happy because I could see my dear friends. I like the weather here and I love this a state because many people want come here. I like my university and I like my neighborhood .
My first impression of California is there temperature is very hot and dry,because this time in my country is winter and very cold and have many rain. In these week, I know California not just hot, when sunset weather become cold very fast,in night or morning this place are very cold. When a rainy day,all people move slow,especially of traffic,every driver take more attention for road and other cars.And almost I need other twenty minutes back to my home. But I still like rainy day, the smell like my hometown.
Yes, it rained for a short while this week. It was a nice change in the weather! But the rainy season in California is usually short. It must have been a nice reminder of your hometown!
California is too cold in the morning and evening when I came for the first time And this life is too inconvenient and difficult But walked home alone is so beautiful sunsets. My California life is slower than others peoples and every day life is difficult but I try to think of positive
I like the sun of California because look at the sun it is feeling better.
