Final Project

I have gotten the video outlined pretty much the way I want it. I found some Hungarian music to use and I think its good. I have yet to interview my grandfather or my cousin but hopefully that will happen soon.

I would like to know if the Hungarian music is a good touch to it and also I'm not exactly sure what to ask my cousin. I want to talk about where the country is right now. Any other suggestions are welcomed.

Roommate Troubles

In the beginning of the semester, my roommate and I didn't get along well. She would do things that would make me so angry. For example, one night she lent her math book to some guy (she didn't even who his name). She told him where exactly our room is, so he could return the the book later. Well at 2 o'clock in the morning, this guy is in my room trying to return the math book. She left the door unlocked. I wanted to yell at her and ask her what she was thinking, but I didn't I held my temper and I asked her to not give out information like that, because not only does she live here but so do I.

Another night she and her boyfriend were having problems, so she was yelling at him while I was trying to sleep. I have been woken up time after time because of this. I had to ask her to leave the room to talk to him because she didn't have any respect for me.

We have gotten along recently, but I don't know if it is going to last. I hope it does.

Delicious Food

Food at thanksgiving is so delicious. I love the turkey, the mashed potatoes, corn, pumpkin pie and all the other desserts that come along with Thanksgiving dinner. I was looking for recipes for pumpkin pie (I have been wanting to make one for a while), and I came across a website that has a few recipes. They all seem so good and I want to try some of them. The no bake turkey cookies seem like a fun treat to have after a Thanksgiving dinner. I would love to try some of these out and refresh my cooking skills. I haven't cooked since before I came to school, unless I was cooking pasta or the microwave.

I took a cooking class in high school. I loved it and it was so much fun. After we made it, we would eat it and give some of the leftovers to the teacher of our choice (that was my favorite part). I always liked to see what others outside of the class thought about the food that we worked so hard on. It always felt good when the teacher said that it was delicious.

I can't wait for Thanksgiving dinner, not only for the food but also to see my family.

Captain

June of 2009, I was elected Captain of the East Hampton Junior Volunteer Fire Department. I wasn't to surprised that I got it, because the person that I was running against wasn't well liked. I had been in the Junior Fire Department since may of 2004. January of 2005, I became the secretary/treasurer of the Juniors, because no one wanted to do. I had done that job until I became Captain.I decided that before I was too old I wanted to hold the Captains position.During my time as Captain, I tried to make sure that everyone else knew where everything was on the trucks and if they needed to go over it, I was available to help.

I enjoyed this experience. I felt like this was my time to try out being a leader again. I had been the president of CARLY (Connecticut Amateur Radio League of Youth) for a few years when I was younger. I enjoyed doing that but I was never able to do much, because of the adults. This experience was so much fun. I was able to help others and get the feeling of satisfaction for myself.

Most of the time that I was a junior that Captain was always a male. The Captain before me was a female and the Captain after me was a female. We have been done a great job and I think that since we have been doing it in the Junior Department that there will be a chance of having a female Captain in the Senior Department. I loved this experience and wish that I would have run sooner and had a longer term, but I don't regret having the six month term that I did.

Where do you study?

I study at my desk in my room every day. I tried to study in the library once, but I wasn't able to concentrate with the doors being closed loudly or the random people walking by. One day I went down to the basement (in Wilkinson Hall), because I had heard people talking about it.

I went downstairs and there was this table in the middle of the room.

I have taken my books down there to study, because it is quiet and there aren't many people that go down there. I don't bring my laptop down there and if I do my computer doesn't have access to the wireless so I am able to work on my homework without the distraction of the internet.

"Think, think, think" ~Winnie The Pooh

Inquiry is a class where I have to think. Most of my classes this semester are really laid back. My wellness class, I basically just sit and listen and then before that test he goes over the study guide (which has the exact questions and answers on the test). In theatre and geography, I take notes and study those to get an A. English I have to think a little, but not nearly as much as I do in Inquiry. My professor asks us questions that really make us think to the point where the whole room in silent. With this class, I always have something to think about in class and for homework, but I also think about the things talked about in class out of class and even with my boyfriend. He and I have gotten some pretty good conversations.
