It is coming down to the end of the semester and my thoughts on this Writing class have been journalism. This Ethnography project throughout this semester has made this writing class seem like a journalism class. With observations and analyzing behavior, I felt like I've been a reporter working undercover at some points this past year. I feel that I've been challenged to a point where I can grow as a writer and a student. From taking down random observations in my journal and at that moment relating that observation to my opinion; and the relativity between the two astonishes me.
The project on the Bridgewater Dining Room has been interesting. From a place where I've never even heard of, to a place where I ran across and decided to go simultaneously with buddies, to a place where I decided to go to observe and analyze has been a turn of events to say the least. I didn't even know the place existed and now I've visited tons of times and analyzed each and every aspect of the Dining Room. I feel like this project was a bit lengthy, but helped us work on dedication to a certain topic. I haven't quite finished editing my final piece yet, however I know what direction I know I want to go in and I plan on feeling a sense of accomplishment once I finish it.

Interview
4/1/11
It was just recently I myself had to go through the interview process. I wanted a part time job for this summer and I applied to several places. I managed to get an interview at Home Depot because the head of the Human Resources department is my dad's cousin. Of course I dressed to impress that day because one should never wear sweat pants to a interview. I wore cackies and shirt and tie and got there 5 minutes early. In an interview one must be flexible and structured. Also expecting the unexpected is crucial. As the interview preceeded I was asked closed questions and then all of sudden open questions were presented and then I had to think of what I would do in that given situation. With ease I told the truth and a bit flexible with each question, but structured in my presentation of each answer I gave. Interviews are always tough, but they can be less stressful with the right preperation.
