well, its been a few weeks to say the least and i thoroughly enjoyed my spring break! my friends and i went to DC to see the sabres game! i have never been there before and i loved it! there is so much to see and i think every one needs to go and see it! we even got a tour of the west wing. i saw the oval office! and was in the rose garden. and lemme tell ya, it smells pretty nice in there! so much history and so much to learn! and its a fun town if you know what i mean! we really let people know how we do things in buffalo! and i am now getting ready to register for classes using banner. one last round at buff state for me! i hope banner is better than sabre…..ill have to let you know!
so. my first semester, academic wise, was kind of challenging. but i learned a lot. in my intro to PR and advertising class, i did an entire PR campaign for a fake “client.” i worked with my freind jess, and we did our project on PUSH buffalo. (people united for sustainable housing) great cause, great idea. the whole idea of this group is to make housing affordable for people on the west side and reinvest money and time into the community by using co-ops and clean-up efforts. PUSH will buy foreclosed houses and re-do them. they then want to resell them for a reasonable value so people can stay here, instead of leaving. the entire project was very time consuming, but i enjoyed it. i really found my niche. it got me excited that this is the kind of stuff the PR can do! another class i took that i found extremely challenging but very rewarding was COM 301 with dr. whitaker. he really pushes you to work hard in your papers and presentations, but i learned so much and really started paying attention to what was happening in the world. and i still do now. everyone really just needs to start thinking. ive said that before! now, this is no jab at the english dept. but my shakespeare class left a lot to be desired! and i also felt incredilbly dumb when my classmates would talk. i just wanted to read some plays. they were comparing shakespeare to marx and i really just wasnt making the connection. sorry! either way, the classes i took my first semester really pushed me to strive for success. and it gave the kick in the pants i needed to get motivated!!!!!
and for the record, tonight is the first night of the playoffs. GO SABRES!!!!!! ONLY 16 WINS TO GO!!!
