Museum of the impossible

Yesterday we went to NYU where we viewed an exhibit called "Glimpses" where the students of the school created art that showcased how they viewed the their communities to look like in 30 years form now. The artwork was incredibly interesting, and unique I would have to say but in sum I viewed it as impossible. In one of the exhibits there was a red carpet that led into the city and what was called a "thinking tank". There was another one with a car driving on water -_- come on I know the students were only trying to be creative but they can also be realistic. The exhibit was nice and interesting overall I have to say though.

Super lag in SL

Yesterday we were practicing our talk shows in second life. We were given a maximum of twenty minutes to practice our scripts and possibly come up with an ad-lib for second life. Then while the executive director Evvy and a woman named Allison that came from the Hearst foundation to see if she would consider donating to the global kids program were watching us, we put on our talk shows in second life. This experience was sort of difficult because the internet connection was slow and the feedback I was getting from my partner was static and words. I had fun coming up with things to talk about with my "guest". My only issue was the lag and static but other than that I think I'm pretty set to be host of my new show "Is it too late?" Yay me!!!!!!:)

Sippin' that good ole haterade :P

I like how me and my group worked so hard today, putting together an awesome script. Working toward having something presentable when it came to having our talk show. We were working in sync, giving each other feedback on our work and telling each other what was next to do. We had somewhat of a system and got most of the work done. I'm in my own world putting together the script as I thought other groups were dong as well. When it came to presenting everyone's work it was pretty visible in the work that was produced, that the other groups were having a hard time working together. Then when our work came on the screen as excited I was for them to view the hard work that was put into the script and all other aspects, I heard some really rude comments coming from what is called sore losers. Saying too much work was put into it and that we were trying to hard..... I'm sorry (not really) but this was how we defined the project. Guess some people were really sipping on that Good Ole HATERADE!!! :) :P

Transit museum NYC

We all have taken the MTA transit trains once in a while or it may even be a part of your daily life. Ever wondered how the train was created or how it works? Well I was given the chance at work to attend the NYC transit museum. I found it pretty cool and amazing how certain things operated and how it has changed over time. I was able to sit in one of the first trains invented and realize the faults of their structures. I learned that when the MTA is done with their trains their usable pars become recycled, the train itself gets sold to collectors and the shells of the train become homes for sea life. Also I was shocked to hear the foolery of how the MTA fooled it's customers with the secret "Money train". One more thing that surprised me was that there were three different railroad companies one that ran the number trains and two that ran the letter trains. This was by far one of favorite GK experiences!!!

Project "Fun Disaster" :)

Today we were working on our projects again. If most of you don't know yet, my project is about global warming. At first i didn't want to use a google doc to do my project, but then I started using it and found it to be more enjoyable than writing. I am a slow type writer so I usually like to write but I actually preferred to type. I kinda didn't even want to go to lunch because of the project which is kinda sad. We were engaging ourselves in typing random bits of our project that needed to be done. The fact that there was a whole bunch of writing in my doc just made me more excited to get more done. I kept changing the color of the font and commenting on my fellow project members' work. This project is actually becoming more enjoyable as time goes on, i mean I'm having fun!!!!!!

Interchangable interviewers

Today there were three interchangeable positions appointed to each group. These positions were interviewer, interviewee and camera person. We were each to take on each of the following roles as we videotaped each others interviews. This was really fun. I stepped out of my normal elf and even put on a British accent to give some depth to my interviewing experience. This exersize was actually put into place for us so that we can shuffle out who the host will be of each of my shows. All I know is I have much confidence for my part. :D
