Welcome to the "Electronic Campus"

Am I the only one that sees the irony in Northwest being the Electronic Campus, yet the internet being extremely slow? Not really. For a campus that prides itself on being "Green" and "Environmentally Friendly" by going online, the internet sure does suck. You can tell that it sucks when you're sitting in a class ready to turn a project in, yet you can't. This wouldn't be so bad, except for the fact that this is continuously the problem. Maybe it's just the building we're in. Maybe it's the fact that this year's Freshman class is the largest that has ever come through and the internet didn't change at all. Anyways, this has been a crazy week and even though it was a great class, I think I'm ready for this semester to be over. I want to have "Me-Time" again....

Last Project!

It's almost hard to believe that this semester is almost over. I've actually been thinking about my portfolio for a while now. I know that I'm going to have to present my speech in a particular way, just because it is a speech. Recently, I've been toying with the idea of putting my brochure in the portfolio as well, though I'm not quite sure how that will work considering the different media types I used. I have a general idea about how I want to put my project together. I know that all three of my artifacts have been aimed towards mostly students. The thing that is going to tie them together the most is my Programmed Oral Interpretation since I'm using brief sections from both my Prezi and my brochure in the speech itself. I like that all of my projects are connected through the audience and my POI. It's all about change. What is changing, why it's changing and confirming that it is, in fact, changing. I'm really excited for presentations.

Here we go again...

Two down, one to go. Actually, I'm really excited about this upcoming project. It is going to be the easiest, and the hardest for me to put together. Easiest because I know how to put together a really inspiring, awesome competition POI, but the hardest because now I have to come up with all of it on my own. To make matters worse I also have to break the habit of cutting my pieces two days before I have to perform, which is what I typically do for competitions. The good news is, since it's for class instead of competition, I don't have to be as precise, or have it memorized as completely. I mean, I will have it mostly memorized, but a competition ready piece has to be absolutely perfect.
I am really excited for this project because I knew that I was going to do it all semester. I'm also really excited to show the class what Forensics is all about. I know that a few people have a general idea, but I kind of want to wow them. I just have to stay on top of things and keep focused on the task at hand. It shouldn't be to hard, right?
