progress journal #3

I guess that since we have until next thursday we have more time to work on our project. Im not sure what else there is to do. I'm trying to think of questions people would ask us after our presentation. I want to be able to answer any questions someone might through at us. Im going to think of a better way to present and make sure that each of get to talk an equal amount of time. As far as the website, I have more time to fix grammatical errors and that sort of thing.

progress journal #2

12/3 - i added basic info to the website. I took careful notes on what we discussed with the teacher and incorporated them into our website (audience, a third media, less wordy information, statisics)

12/7 - the group met to discuss major details such as website layout, brochure, and flyers. we tried to more clearly define who our target audience is. we also looked for youtube videos that supports our cause

12/8 - i changed information on the website to be less wordy. readers want short and to the point. I also found statistics for how many people are innocent on death row but are killed anyway. I also found a picture that shows what states have/dont have death penalty.

12/9 - our group met and we talked about how we are going to present. we changed our group name from ADPG (anti death penalty group) to DPA (death penalty awareness) we made final revisions to brochure and flyer. AFter the group met, I finished adding information and details to the website.

Proposal Presentation

Our proposal is Anti-Death Penalty. We are looking into making a website and informational cards. I am trying to use weebly to make a website. Does anyone know any programs that are better/easier? I have only just started this website and its kind of confusing.

Willy Wonka

This weekend is my High School's musical, Willy Wonka. They are doing to older (much better version) not the newer one with Johnny Depp. I am pretty excited to see it because my sister is in the musical pit. She plays viola, but this musical did not have viola parts so she is playing violin. I was in musical pit on violin sophomore-senior year. When I was in high school, we did "Into the Woods", "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers", "Beauty and the Beast", and "Damn Yankees". I really wish I could have been in Willy Wonka! I think its a great idea for a musical, but I wonder how they are going to pull off things like the blueberry part, and the part with Augustus Gloop being sucked up the chocolate river hose. I think it will be very interesting to see.

Is this semester over yet?

I don't know about you all, but I am more than ready for this semester to end. I have a feeling that next semester is going to be way easier than this semester. I mean, we already have one semester under out belt, and we know what to expect out of our classes from now on. Im using this semester as more of a trial and error kind of semester. I am trying to develop study/homework habits that I didn't need to have in high school. High school was so easy, and I regret complaining about it being difficult. Being in college, and looking back everything was much more relaxed. Everyone is counting down the days until thanksgiving, but I am counting down the days until the beginning of next semester.

Xavier

So I'm thinking that this weekend is going to be pretty good one. I was going to try and not go home, because i've been home almost every weekend, and stay on campus. But I have decided to go home friday after class, then saturday morning me and two friends are going to drive to cincinatti to visit our friend who goes to xavier. The only downside is, is that I have homework to do on the way (like finishing my position paper). We are going to check out her dorm and eat and possibly go to a football game. I will probably be coming back to muncie saturday night, it just depends on how tired i am!
