Group Project

It is the last night of working on our project.

I have finished up my website... but can't publish it so I will be bringing it up on a disk in class to use.

Jenna is working out kinks on the facebook group and making our works cited.

Becca is finishing up our video.

I can't wait for Christmas break!

So I think I may be getting homesick. I keep seeing people that look extremely similar to people I know at home. It is really kind of creepy actually. However, I don't feel homesick at all. I love it here at Ball State. I'm making lots of new friends and genuinely like all of my classes.

I even joined a sorority which I really like. I've never had so many girl friends in my life. I usually hang out with mostly guys because they are more laid back like me :). I like that better. But it is really nice to have so many "sisters". It makes me happy.

That is all.

A Walk to Remember

I am watching this movie right now. Even though it is a sad movie, it always makes me extremely happy. The girl next door that is a little odd gets the guy. It is such a cute story line. The guy has a bad boy stereotype. She helps him let down his guard and be the good guy she saw in him.

It has some great lines in the movie too. Like things I want to say to people. Like, in one scene Jamie is speaking to Brandon on a school bus and he is trying to act all cool and he comes off as an asshole. She says "Your act only works on an audience." I like that a lot.

I also really love all the music in it. Not just the stuff Mandy Moore sings.. but there is a lot of great stuff. The soundtrack is amazing.

Music :)

1. The Beatles
2. The Killers
3. The Smiths
4. The Shins
5. The Ramones
6. Maroon 5
7. The Clash
8. The White Stripes
9. The Fray
10. The Monkees

I love music so much! I wish I could think of more right now... but I'm blanking.

My part in the group project

I am creating the website which we will post our video and ad to. I will create a look for the website that will appeal to one audience. I am using my iweb account that I use to make websites for my TCOM course. I have made a website before so it really shouldn't be that difficult for me to make another one.

Group Project

Our group has started getting more information together and split up the work between the 3 of us. I think we are going to get a lot of our stuff done over Thanksgiving break.

Yay for WAAT

Great Movies :)

I have a passion for film which is why I am majoring in telecommunications. With that passion, I have seen many movies, some that are well-known, and others that most people haven't heard of.

Here are just 10 movies that I would recommend.

10. Arsenic and Old Lace (It is a classic, and Cary Grant is extremely good looking.)
9. Wait Until Dark (One of the lesser known movies starring Audrey Hepburn.)
8. The Breakfast Club (It is sad that some people haven't seen this movie.)
7. Stand by Me (A great adventure with a pretty good theme.)
6. Gangs of New York (Daniel Day-Lewis is one of the greatest actors I've ever seen.)
5. Better Off Dead (Funniest 80's movie EVER!)
4. Benny and Joon (A lesser known johnny Depp movie. He is another incredible actor.)
3. Rear Window (Alfred Hitchcock is one of my favorite directors.)
2. Rain Man (One of the only movies starring Tom Cruise that I like.)
1. (500) Days of Summer (The greatest movie of the summer!)
