Reflection

Tennessee tech has a newspaper called the oracle. The other day they had an article about learning communities. Learning communities is when a group of students take a couple classes together. The oracle dogged learning communities calling them middle school. I completely disagree with what they think. As a member of a learning community I think it has helped me a ton. You have the opportunity to become close with not only your classmates but your professor to. If you have any trouble with the assignments you have people you can turn to for help. After having class with the same people you build a bond with them. Your all in the same boat together and can trust each other for help.
Being able to keep up with your professor via facebook or chat is a very good thing I believe. You are able to keep in touch with your teacher the same way you can keep up with your friends. It also makes the teacher a lot cooler if they can keep up to date with people our age.

intake form

we recieved intake forms in class for helping hands of putnam county and the care center. both of the intakes are very different. it seems like the care center will only help you if attend church on a regular basis. while helping hands has nothing about church on their form. i don't believe church should have anything to do with whether or not you should help someone. everyone is equal in gods eyes. also im sure people will lie on their form if they know the only way they can get help is if they mark down that they do attend church on a regular basis.

culture crawl

at the beginning of the year we took a tour of cookeville. we started off in the music and fine arts building on campus where we listened to the orchestra play some music. afterwards we began our tour. the first place we visited was the amphitheatre. then we went to the theatre in cookeville where all the big plays take place. after that we were split into 2 groups. one group went to the history museum first while my group went to the locomotive museum. after we toured the first place we went to the other one. all of this was very interesting but i think the history musuem was the best. we met back together as one group and went to eat. my group went to a sushi bar while the other group went to an indian place.

electic spider web

On friday my univeristy 1020 class held a convention called the electic spider web. those who read their stories about boy bands, rock n roll, and twilight all did a great job. i especially liked the papers about the boy bands. after all the papers had been read we ate some pretty good food from chartwells. and then held an amazing concert. the pursuits opened things up and did a fantastic job. after there set was over this is luke took the stage and continuing the amazing concert. finally mother/father took the stage. they did an amazing job as well and i think overall the electic spider web was a sucess
