in the recent light of the VT tragedy, i am just shocked really. and the media coverage is ridiculous. the questions they are asking these poor families and students are absurd. HOW DO YOU THINK THEY WERE FEELING?! come on. get the mic out of their face and let them cope and grieve. i really cant beleive how much one person can have to much hate and rage. and that no one picked up on those warning signs. (and the lack of communication!!!!!) my prayers go out for every one involved. it hits close to home too, seeing as i am a college student, those are my peers. i really am just shocked. its crazy.
FYI banner is much better than SABRE. just saying. i got to register and it seemed to go much smoother. but i got a bit of frustrating news when i met with our dept. chair today….apparently i dont have enough general ed. electives to graduate in december. so guess who gets to go back to ECC for summer classes….yes thats right…..ME. back to my alma mater. woopedy-doo. (not so much) but hey, if it gets me out when im supposed to, so be it. ill suck it up for a month. better than an extra semester. plus its ECC, and i miss it. hehe.
so back to the real focus for this blog. how i got to where i am today.
my second semester at buff state proved to be just as challenging. but i got so much out of it. except for my organizational communication class. i wont mention any names. my COM 308W class with Dr. Silverman again was a great learning experience. I got to work with Jericho Road Ministries and help them develop literature for their volunteers. My main focus was their women-mentoring-women program, or as we titled it, The Priscilla Project. This parntered women volunteers with incoming refugees and other women in need to help them manage the health care system, families and get their feet on the ground. This was such a great program to help rejuvenate the west side of Buffalo. I am very proud that I could be a part of it. It was how I was introduced to the Service-Learning program and how i started blogging! ta da! i was even fortunate enough to recieve an award for all my efforts last semester. I am very honored. still. Other classes I took were Group Process communication in which it was all group projects. think about it. how do you feel about group projects? My Desktop Graphics class introduced me to Mac Computers. Im a PC kinda gal, and that took a lot of getting used to, and im such an airhead when it comes to tech stuff anyways. but i did like the creative freedom that i got from that class. But still, the class i liked the most and passionately enjoyed was my PR writing class! and it really got me interested in community relations…..
