Boy was that FUNNN!!!

Professor i must say that you took learning to a new level...is it even learning when u cant stop laughing and having fun?
Behind, however, the anxiously awaited moment of dropping the egg into the basket there was the more serious and intense planning phase. In my group there was no giggles to be heard here as people racked their brain for ideas on how to arrange the straws and even more tedious than this was the drawing of the design...we unfortunately werent artistically gifted. So the idea was agreed upon but transitioning it from thought to tangiblility was very VERY HARD.
Our group members all understood what we had to do. We would be given 8 straws, a specific amount of tape and 1 egg. The objective was to make a "contraption" to protect this egg from breaking after being dropped from a height of 10 feet. We had 15 minutes to come up with our design and be on the plastic before the 15 mintues was up. Then we would be given ten minutes to actually make our "contraption".
During the 15 minutes designing stage, we discussed who would be willing verses who are able to do different jobs. Who wants to be the one to drop the egg, who can draw, who is going to actually make it etc. Simple things that we didn't plan for or remember was done by the group member's own initiative (someone kept an eye on the clock given us minute by minute update, someone got up and went for the materials while the rest of us were still in discussions etc.
Most of all the most praiseworthy thing about my group even though our design was flawed was that we all particpated giving ideas and suggestions, The making of our basket was almost like an assembly line with specialization occuring in the cutting of the tape, the bending of the straws etc. And the number one thing was that even as we were actually making our basket, new ideas were being created and incorporated into the design that werent orginally thought of.
KUDDOS TO MY GROUP!

What Have I Gotten Myself Into?

This semester i decided to continue my summer internship, keep my other job and take five courses! However last semester i was walking on the second floor when a club was there recruiting members. After interacting i promised i would visit their website and even enthusiastically said yes to not just the possiblility of becoming a member but an officer. I thought wow how cool is dat?!!
Now after going to ONE meeting but having several phones calls every other day, text messages, emails EVERY and ANY means of technological communications invented from mostly the President, but not limited to, i'm beginning to thing that this isnt go to be such a career building move as i thought but more like academic suicide or comparably worst...me throwing in the towel (damn i've already included it on my resume!!!!)
My current plans so for has been to ignore 97-98% of calls, listen voicemails, check emails (this is relatively painfree) and JUST SAY NO.... to ridiculous things suchs as having a club meeting on a Sunday. But how long can i...will i last.......

My Summary

Hi i'm Athena Lewis a sophomore studuent at Baruch college majoring in Marketing...hopefully.

I'm from a small island in the Caribbean called St. Vincent and the Grenadines where every month in the year is hot and beaches are literally in walking distance from where ever you find yourself. Henceforth my favorite time of the year in New York is without a doubt summer, which is a time of short shorts and ....hmm there is no other "and"...all hail SHORT SHORTS!!

I presently live in Brooklyn and absolutely love watching television and listening music (specifically soca and dancehall).
