Entry#2 I love you

I have always been a huge fan of name origin and meaning, so I decided I would do some research on my own name. Although I like to go by Nelly, I looked up the meaning of my real name, which is Nayelly. A lot of times, the name gets spelled differently than what it is. Since it is very common in Mexico, it is technically pronounced Nah-yeh-yee. Why? In Mexico, double L makes the Y sound, but for some reason that is the way my parents chose to spell it. It would of made more sense if it was Nayeli, or even Nalleli (in Spanish). I was able to find my own names meaning and origin, and it is similar to all the other spellings there is. According to babynamepedia.com, the name is Native American-Zapotec and means "I love you".

In 2012, it was ranked outside of the top 1000 names. However, Nayeli ranked #369 the same year. My name itself isn't super rare, but the spelling definitely is more uncommon than some of its relatives.

I encourage everyone to go and research their own name to see where is comes from, and what it means!

Entry#1 Other Blogs

To me, a blog is like an online diary. You are expressing your thoughts of the days in different entries just like someone would in a diary. You can talk about anything you want without any limitations. After being given this assignment, I am considering of making a personal blog on my own to be able to express my thoughts to people around the world. They are fun and interesting as well, and I believe there is a blog made for all kinds of personalities.

Three of the blogs I decided to go into were Everyone Is Gay, Fat Mum Slim, and Post Secret. My least favorite was probably Fat Mum Slim. Personally I didn't relate to it, so of course I wasn't going to enjoy it as much. I also didn't like the background at all. I felt like it was so bright, and it had so much going on, it was making my eyes go cross eyed. Next, I really liked Everyone Is Gay. I felt like they had some things on there that I could relate to. I liked the simplicity of it as well. But my favorite was Post Secret. Personally, I though the layout was great. I like simple things, and this was literally just black with all kinds of post cards. There was a lot of post there that I found to be similar to some of my previous thoughts or situations. Overall, I did enjoy looking at all kinds of blogs, and they helped me decide how I want my blog to be like. That includes the organization, layout, and the content.

Entry#0 Intro to Nelly

Hello fellow peers of ENG102! My name is Nayelly, but I go by Nelly. Simply because it is much easier to pronounce. I am 18 years old and graduated from Maryvale High School this past May. I was a cheerleader for 4 years, and a dancer for 3. Now, I still enjoying dancing very much, and plan to take dance classes next semester. I also enjoy working out, however, I much prefer at-home workouts. I am currently working at Finish Line as a sales associate and spend a good amount of my time there.

I am going to Glendale Community College to get my associates, and then I would like to transfer to ASU to get my masters. I am hoping that by next fall I will be attending a police academy and start working on that. My goal is to be a cop, and continue my education to eventually be a homicide detective.

                     


I am excited to be working with all of you, and hopefully we have a good 8 weeks!
