My week

This week felt like it went by really quick. Last Thursday, in my scenic design class, we were assigned plays and were supposed to read them for Tuesday and then draw a stage design for the set by Thursday. The play I got was MacBeth and I was pshh like no way am I reading that again, so I just used sparknotes and to remind myself what happens. I already read it once in high school and I didn't really want to read it again(without sparknotes of course). And then in my women's studies class we had a small quiz and a quest speaker. He was very interesting. He was this gay guy who told us that he spent over $30,000 and 17 years trying to make himself straight and then ended up realizing he was gay anyways. I feel like that's too much time and money to realize something you already knew.

this week 2/7

This week was pretty annoying for me. I was sick for most of the week and it has been extremely cold which sucks. This week in class, however, wasn't too bad. In my scenic design class, we built mini-models out of cardboard based on images from magazines. I made a mini kitchen that is about 3 inches high and about 16 sq inches. I still need to add details but I'll upload a picture once Im done. Also this week, I learned a couple of new verbs in Italian. The one that really caught my attention was baciarsi- which means to kiss. A form of this verb is bacci which sounds exactly like bocce as in bocce ball. So I guess bocce ball means kiss balls, as in touching, but its kind of funny if you think of it the other way.

This Week

This week had a very slow start but now seems like it was over quick. Wednesday was Groundhog Day but I didn't realize that until this morning when I checked the date and saw it was the 4th. SPRING IS NEAR!!!! And I'm really bummed that I forgot to celebrate the holiday. In other news (that is more relative to my blog),  my women's studies class got cancelled Wednesday night because of the ice. What's sweet about that is the fact that all the ice was gone hours before the class even started! Nothing else was too exciting this week but I did get a 90 on my Italian exam.  Molto bene! Hopefully next week is more exciting, later.

This week in class

I can't remember everything I did in my classes this past week but the last couple of days have been pretty nice and easy. On Wednesday, my News Media class got cancelled, I slept through my Italian class, and my women's studies class ended early because of the snow. I feel bad about sleeping through my Italian class because I'm trying not to do that this semester but I'm not really sure why I'm taking it in the first place. I'm not that bad at it because I took it for 2 years in high school but I plan on studying abroad in Barcelona so it doesn't really make sense to learn Italian. On Thursday, I had one class in the morning which was scenic design and that was it. I then ate lunch and walked to the bank to cash a check so my broke ass could have some money.

About my blog

Im going to be blogging about my classes so I guess it was ok for my first blog to be about blogging because thats what I did that day in class. I couldn't really think of anything else to focus my blog on and since I'm going to be doing this for a whole semester, I didn't want to choose something that would be difficult to talk about in the future. The classes I am taking are; Women's studies, Scenic Design, Italian, and News media. My women's studies class seems cool, I'm one of 2 guys and then there's about 35 girls or so so I clearly stand out in that class. My other classes are pretty cool too and I'm learning a bunch of new stuff so that's fun.

An action shot of me blogging for the first time EVER!!!

This is my class

My First Blog for my News Media Class

Hey, I'm Shane and I have never actually blogged before in my life and I didn't think I ever would. This blog is for my News Media class. I just got started so it's kind of lame as of now but hopefully it will get better in the future (I make no promises). If you don't think my page is interesting then don't read it, its fine, trust me I'm not forcing you to and I won't take offense if you don't. Mrs. Morris told us not to blog about blogging but if you're reading this then you can clearly see I did anyway. Thats all later!!!
