10 I - Halloween

This week my hall farhnam decided to have a Halloween party in the basement, it was at around 9ish at night and went pretty late. Outside there was a truck where you could get fried dough pizza which everyone ended up getting. There were a ton of different things you could do, there were some snacks and also some drinks but the biggest thing they had there was pumpkin painting and then you could take your pumpkin and put it in your dorm. I never ended up painting a pumpkin but I did take one to put in my room just to have and its actually still fine it hasn't started to rot or go bad yet.

10 B - Being Creative

I think everyone is different when it comes to being creative, I think everyone is creative with something or they can do something that not everybody can do weather they actually know it or not. Some people show it by playing sports or some people might hide that there creative by just singing when nobodies around or they might show it so people know they are able to sing or if they can dance. When something really interests me I usually can’t keep my mind off of it and its all I think about so I try to think about it and how I could fix it or make it my own which I think is very creative and I think I have come up with some pretty good things when I really take the time to think about it. Something that really makes me think and that really interests me is music. It can be any kind of music such as rap, hip-hop, pop and rock it can be anything. It gets me thinking about words I would of used if I were to of wrote the song instead of the artist. If I had a good voice I would have loved to sing and wrote music. Or I will think about random things when I listen to music and new things I could do to be creative, listening to music actually gives me a lot of new ideas and I feel that it actually helps me get work done because it makes me concentrate more then when its silent or when I don’t listen to anything. Overall I think being creative is a good thing and that you can never be too creative because that means your mind is always thinking and you’re always coming up with new ideas as to what you could do with yourself and what your able to come up with.

10 A - Video Project

I think I did a good job with the video project, it was a little short but I still meat most of the requirements. I interviewed the right people and the right amount of people and I think I got a lot of good video clips in the video of a lot of different people and activity’s. Also I don’t think I made any sections of the video too long. The biggest part for me on this project was the technology part and what I should use to make the video because I have never made a video before like this that you have to edit and add in words or take away sound like this. I spent a while creating and getting the clips for the video by going to different sport events and taking videos of them and trying to get people I could interview. I ended up just using the windows movie maker on my computer.  What I tried to do in this video was inform people that there are a lot of sports you can do here at southern with your friends and you can actually have a lot of fun by joining teams and making new friends. I went to a sporting event and a couple intramural sports to see how they were and what they were like. Also I interviewed people that did intramural sports and then I just interviewed some of my friends that have played sports in the past here and how they liked to play or what they thought about all the different sports you could do at southern.  Overall I would probably give myself a B on this project because I put in a good effort not knowing how to create a video and never doing one before. I would like to go back and stat earlier on the project so I wouldn’t be jamming a lot of work into one time period.

10 V - Creativity

The vocabulary work of the week is creativity. I think I’m a pretty creative person so I am familiar with this word. I grew up with a really creative family also so creative things have always been around me. You can be creative in a lot of things such as writing, drawing, performing in front of people or singing and coming up with lyrics the list goes on and on. I think a good meaning for this word is when you see something you see it differently then everybody else and you think of how you could do it differently than everybody else or if there’s another way to do it that people wouldn't think of.
