Christina Vitale: Journal Entry 1/25/2008

This week has been a busy one!  I’m getting back into the swing of things, figuring out when I have time for laundry, getting to know my professors’ teaching styles, and I’m even learning the ins and outs of course websites.  Last semester, very minimal parts of a couple of my courses were on-line; however, this semester, almost all of my classes have websites, which means online calendars, quizzes, and forums.

The Speaker’s Showcase on Wednesday went really well! I gave a speech on the importance of the youth’s vote. It’s surprising to see how much impact the youth could have in elections as a whole demographic.

Dance-apalooza has also been exciting.  It’s very interesting for me to be involved, because I don’t have a lot of dance experience.  The dancers learn large pieces so quickly that would be extremely hard for me to try to tackle even a piece of!  Also, seeing the lighting and costume designers work is interesting.  I’m seeing the whole process of designing everything that makes a successful dance concert.

I know things are only going to get busier and more exciting this semester, and I can’t wait!  But I’m also enjoying things like just goofing off with my roommate, Amy.  The other night we took a break from studying just to style each other’s hair in ways completely out of character.  Mine involved lots and lots of teasing, and hers was an elaborate 50s housewife hair-do.  Check out the picture!
