It's the Climb...and the View is Fantastic

We are almost there! Tomorrow is going to be bittersweet because I want to get this presentation over with, but on the other hand I'm sad that this class and my other, Sociology class, are basically over now. Yes, my classes have had their disappointing days and leaping for joy days, but through those mountain problems that I encountered in my path I feel as though that I have reached the top, and the view from up here is gorgeous! I'm just glad that when I was climbing up that precipice of that mountain. I didn't stop even though I may have slipped off of the hard solid rock and scuffed my knee I kept up my perseverance and there was no turning back. The climb was way worth it! This journey has made new memories and friends along the way. We've learned to help each other out and keep up our determination all of us worked fantastically together. Welcome, to the top... all of the assignments and writing and hard ships... were all worth this view! Breathe it in and feel it. It is “Fantastic!”

Whew, that was CLOSE

So, I went to the Tioga Monday Farmer's Market and did an interview. First, i arrived and when I realized that I didnt know how to work video on my camera I thought okay I will go back home and read the instructions but on the way there and on the way back I was filming practice videos to test the sound and etc. When playing it back on the camera itself you cannot hear the audio but when you hook it up to the computer you can. So, after I discovered that I asked my roomate to go with me to hold the camera while I ask the questions and just to be safe I used my cell phone as a tape recorder :) BUT (doom, doom, doom) after my interview I had to go to the Verizion store to replace my phone that was malfunctioning. The guy exchanged my phone with a new one, transferred all my contacts and pictures over and I left......well on the way home I realized that my project was on that phone that was scheduled to be shipped off in the morning :( so I had to call the store back and by the way I sat on hold for about 15-20 minutes BUT I was NOT hanging up whatsoever......I HAD TO STOP THEM FROM SENDING MY PHONE BACK!!!! Finally a representative answered and I told him what had happened and it was SO nice of him to hold my phone until today when I was able to go and transfer my interview from the old phone to the exchanged one. CLOSE CALL, WHEW.

Unexpected

Hey i know i said i was going to be able to make the farmer's market today, but something came up and i had to go back home to merritt island this morning. I know this is alot to ask, but if someone can ask a vender my question, Do you thing that organic food is worth the price? If nobody can, I understand and will figure something out. Thank you and sorry about this. Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

So Little Time...

The title is so true "So little time" (haha and no I’m not talking about the Mary Kate and Ashley TV series that ran for like two years). I feel like everything is caving in on me and every direction I turn there's a wall, and I can't find the light anywhere! The pressure of the presentation, the finials, and papers, the tests...and...! These are all wrapping up the end of November... sigh. I really hope I can get everything done on time when it is due. And I hope our presentation is entertaining to Kate and the class. Personally I think it is a pretty good idea; it's cute and simple. Well I need to end on a Pep talk Time..."Ok I can do this! I'm ready, and I can find the way out of this cave. I will try my best to chisel my way out of it. It maybe slow but at least it will be my BEST!" :)

I couldn't help it when I found the second picture I just have to post it. I thought it was really magnificent and wanted to share its beauty with, Fantastic 5, even though I feel like the fist...

Check out this list

Here is a webiste that I came across. It is a link to all the Farmer's markets in town. Sorry but Wednesday is just not going to work for me! If you guys have to do the project without me that day that will be fine by me. I am positive that I can come up with a seperate presentation just for myself.

Around the World in...Research!

Searching frantically trying find the right cite going from one site to the next... just to find the right source to cite from. WOW! The treasure hunt was kind of intense, but exciting all in all...especially as it narrowed to the end; for even a stranger could feel our heart’s pumping and eyes popping out at the bright screen before us, along with the adrenaline rush as we clicked with anticipation! O.K so it wasn't all that intense...I had to be a little facetious there, but you get the idea.

One thing I’m really happy about is the fact that back in the 70’s or later. We all would have most likely had to do our research from books; looking at book after book. How tiring that would be? Thank goodness for the World Wide Web! I wonder how much longer it would have taken us to research that way? But maybe the whole assignment in general would have been easier then again perhaps not.
