I decided that this summer,I wasn't going to let my body atrophy in front of a computer.I decided that I wasn going to get some work done.
I am 143 lb(64.8kg) and am a vegetarian,don't smoke etc.
However,My upper body strength is weak,and i have certain parts of my body that I am unhappy with (mostly my prosterior,and my arms)

This is my routine that I made for myself:
30 pushups
-10 triangle
-10 widehand
-10 normal
20 situps
20 iron crosses (lie down on floor,arms out,raise legs to 90 degrees and lower until just above ground for 5 seconds,repeat)
20 weighted squads
20 jumping jacks
20 box jumps (get box that comes up to knees,jump on top of box,and off)
20 mountain climbs (pushup position ,one leg bent one leg straight,switch legs twice for one count)

should I alternate that and workout 2 for both upper and lowe body *one per day*

If you can do workout 2, then stick to it instead. Workout 1 is nothing compared to 2, and wouldn't really help you if it's too easy.

As for your dumbbell work, I don't really have any experience with them. The curls are pretty much useless, and the rises don't seem real effective either. I'd get rid of them if it were me.

what are workout 1 and two geard towards? endurance? strength?

Both, but the focus is endurance, hence the high number of reps. If you were going for strength, you'd decrease the reps and increase the resistance somehow.

But if you're not very strong to begin with, you'll gain both until your strength gains plateau. That's when you decide whether or not you feel like switching it up and finding a way to hit the weights or if your comfortable continuing down the path you're already on.
