Hello everyone! My name is Heather Thompson. Just in case you have not already figured it out, I LOVE MOVIES!!!!! Whenever I get a spare moment between school and work I watch movies. My favorite movie is Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. I watch mostly mainstream movies but I also enjoy the occasional independent film. I was born and raised in San Diego. I have lived here my entire life. I attended elementary school in Rancho Bernardo at Westwood Elementary. My middle school years were spent at Bernardo Heights Middle School in Carmel Mountain Ranch. I did not move far for high school (my high school was literally right next door to my middle school). I attended Rancho Bernardo High School and graduated in 2003.
My experience with technology is somewhat limited. I say my experience with technology is somewhat limited because I do not feel that I am technology savvy. Of course I use my computer everyday, but I really do not know how computers work or how to fix problems I encounter while using them. I own a PC and go on it everyday to browse the Internet, listen to iTunes, and play games (I love Roller Coaster Tycoon 2!). During high school I took a Digital Media class in which I used Mac computers to produce short student films. However, I have forgotten most of what I learned because I took that class so long ago.
After reading the CSUSM/COE Mission Statement I learned a great deal about the expectations the College of Education has in regards to its program. Although the Mission Statement had no effect on my decision to attend CSUSM, I am excited to attend a university that promotes diversity in education and life long learning. It is important for future educators to have an understanding of different cultures and others backgrounds. I hope to make a difference in the lives of children through education and I believe CSUSM and the College of Education will help me to achieve that goal.

Hey Heather
Also a movie buff here. I use Netflix. We should exchange movie titles we enjoyed. Have you seen Freedom Writers? Great movie and even is appropriate for our field of study.

Hi Heather! It's good to see other movie fans in the class. I'm a big fan of all types of movies, though I am particular to indies. Nice to meet you.

Hi Heather,
I love movies also, unfortunately, these days I don't get to see much without a "G" rating. But those are fun too.

Hi heather! Great picture.
It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who isn't that great with computers!!! I look forward to being in class with you!
Hi Heather,
Wow, a San Diego native! I don't run into too many of you, that's great. I used to go to movies a lot too, and then I had a child. With the price of movies and babysitting, I see maybe 5 movies a year now. We don't even rent movies anymore, because we can never stay awake to finish watching them! I need to sign off, this is depressing. Good to meet you, though.

Pirates of the Caribbean is one of my favorite movies. I'm also into the mainstream movie stuff. I can't wait for the Batman: Dark Knight to come out this summer. Anyways, nice to meet you Heather.
My youngest daughter was Jack Sparrow for Halloween this year. She has never even seen the movie, she just really liked the idea of wearing a goatee and mustache!!
I say, movie night at your house next rainy day...Nice to meet you!
Hi Heather!!!!
I liked the first Pirates movie too but I think the other two were big dissapointments. It was nice meeting you.
Can you recommend some movies? W/ 3 kids my wife and I don't get to go to the movies much. We usually wait for them to come on dvd, but there is so much out there.
