makeup: Last Day!

The boat tour was so much fun! Almost didn't make it but luckily, after sprinting across campus with Melissa Christy and Jackie, barely caught the boat. I loved getting to see everything so clearly underwater- the springs, fish, turtles, plants... and learning about the history of the park. I thought it helped reinforce the whole sustainability theme. The tourguides were really informative and pretty funny too. Lovely way to end the semester:) I'm gonna miss our class!

makeup: Plant re-cap/Presentations

11/29/10

Was a really relaxing, laid back class. Unfortunately no one seemed to be having any luck with their plants... Mine definitely never grew. At all. Buut hey I might try to plant something else with my pot/soil. The rest of the presentations went well too! I was afraid we weren't gonna get through everyone but I'm glad I got to learn a little more about the people who hadn't gone 'til then

makeup: Picnic!

11/22/10

Ohh so much great food at the potluck this week! Really wish we could've had the picnic outside though :/ or a lot more classes outside would've been nice for that matter. Anyways, that was my first time having Gumby's pizza- which was amaazing. And I definitely had way too many cookies. But oh well! It was fun just getting to relax and talk with the girls at my table:)

makeup: Plants/"Leadership"

11/15/10

Really enjoyed the discussion this day. It was interesting hearing everyone's take on what it means to be a leader. Along with the rest of the class, I agreed that being a leader means a lot more than what 'position' you hold or how much power or wealth you have. A leader is a follower (humble, listens, considerate, open-minded), but also determined, persevering, and strong.

As for the plant, not much progress :/ Been watering it 2-3 times a day and left it outside in the sun on the windowsill buut still no bud!

makeup: Autobio's #2

11/1/10

Got to class a little late that day but luckily just in time for my presentation! Was a little nervous buut finally got to know everyone in the class well enough to feel comfortable speaking. I tried to do something a little different, presentation-wise, in a sustainable way, and ended up making a poster out of newspapers taped together with pictures/labels on it. I had fun making it and presenting and everyone in the class was so supportive and encouraging:)

makeup: Autobio's

makeup: Autobio's

10/25/10

The first round of autobiography presentations went really well! It was fun meeting in Boko's Living Room with everyone and getting to learn more about everybody in the class. I have a lot more in common with classmates than I thought and the presentations helped me get to know em more. I was hoping to see more out-of-the-box presentations but the powerpoints were still very creative!

makeup: SLAC Presenter

9/27/10

The SLAC presenter was really helpful and had a lot of good advice. After learning about all the free helpful labs/locations on campus, I'd used ITAC to fix my laptop; the Comm Lab to practice my speech; and SLAC to review for my math tests. These really helped my study habits along with my grades:)

Read your email guys :) I have change for most of you!

No Impact Man Speaking

This is my make up for not blogging about this event. Going to listen to Collin Beaven talk was pretty cool. I cant believe he could do all of that no impact stuff. However, and i know its kinda sad but not very many people were listening to him speak. It was kinda like we were just forced to go otherwise we would get a failing grade in our class or not get the hour for residential college. I thought it was nice and hearing his view point on a lot of different things was facinating but i could never do it. He's such an inspiration though!

Boat Tour

Today we went on the boat tour in the Aquarena Springs. This was pretty cool because i had never done it before. Even though i've seen fish before, it was nice learning about the endangered ones and learning about all the endangered plants. I didnt know plants could be endangered. haha. I cant believe class is already over! too bad we already have finals though :( Oh well! i just wanted to wish everyone a good break and good luck on their finals!

Boat Tour!!

Last day of class & we went on the boat tour! I thought

it was really neat to hear about the history behind

it and San Marcos in general. I can't believe

I scuba dived (dove?) in Aquarena but that

makes it really neat. Finals are this week!

Eeek. Good Luck everyone!

& Happy Holidays!

11/29/10

So today is the last real day of class before our boat ride, which I hear is really cool. Its cool that the last people got to present their autobiography’s in class... other than that it was a pretty cool day.

10/25/10

So today i gave my autobiography which was cool... I didn’t realize the diversity of the campus, as far as home towns go. I noticed some of the people are from San Antonio which i didn’t know before that. Thumbs up for stage fright!

Boat tour

So today we went on a that boat ride, which was fun.. I didn’t realize the amount of endangered animals we have around San Marcos so that was really cool

Aquarena

So the boat ride was fun. It was way different than how I remembered it. I enjoyed what the tour guides had to say about working there. I've actually been looking for an educational job and this one might be perfect.
My plant has grown and I'm very sorry to those of you who haven't had such luck.

Good Luck on Finals!

Boat Ride

So today we went on the boat ride! It was super fun and it was definitely a good experience and I'm glad we could all do it together :) It was interesting to learn a little more about San Marcos and the wonderful river. It was kind of chilly but I liked it. Plus, we were pretty cozy so it worked! This was our last time altogether and I think it was pretty awesome! So this will be our last blog opportunity! So I hope everyone does well on their finals and has an awesome, safe winter break!! And I hope you all enjoy the Spring semester also! See ya on the flip side....hahahaha Also, I kind of like this blogging thing so I'm thinking about making my own =)

OH YEAH, BOAT TOURS, YEAH!

TODAY WAS OUR LAST DAY OF CLASS! THE BOAT TOUR WAS A GOOD WAY TO END IT, I LOVED IT. IT WAS PRETTY INTERESTING. THE ADVENTURE GETTING THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE. WE ALMOST GOT RAN OVER BY A BUS! THANK GOODNESS WE MADE IT ON TIME AND ALIVE. THEY HAD A LOT OF INFORMATION ABOUT THE LAKE AND THE JOB OPPORTUNITIES THAT THEY HAVE, WHICH WAS HELPFUL. OVERALL, I ENJOYED THIS CLASS AND ALL THE PEOPLE IN IT. WE MADE FOR A GOOD CLASS. :)

I'M ON A BOAT

The glass bottom boat ride was today. It was cool, I liked seeing the different vegetation and fish that are in the river. It was interesting actually seeing the springs feed water into the river. It was a majestic experience that I will never forget! I never knew that introducing a new species of plants or fish can be detrimental to the ecosystem and what not. I'm glad that this semester is almost over but I'm not ready for finals. This week is going to be so INTENSE.

Last week of class

Last week of class we finished up presentations finally! I had to do mine, It wasn't to bad, it was about myself so it was easy to remember what to say. My plant still isnt growing, I'm watering it as much as I can remember, sometimes its hard when I go out of town because I am not going to bring it withme. We have the boat tour in a little bit, It should be fun, im just hoping it isnt to cold.
