My least favourite weekday? Definitely Friday. The terrible thing about Fridays is that my COMM seminar starts at 8:00. But it’s not COMM class that troubles me, I’ve always loved to go to COMM (my first blog post has more to say about this). The thing is: who wants to be at school at EIGHT … Continue reading Blog Post #10: Say ‘NO’ to early mornings
Blog Post #9: Money vs Love
Money certainly has its power. But what it cannot replace, now and ever, is love. For whoever saying money rules, please take a moment to consider this. Money can be traded for a lot of things, but not love. Money can buy you a house, but not a home; money can warm your body, but … Continue reading Blog Post #9: Money vs Love
Blog Post #8: Persuasion
People compose and are given persuasive speeches on a regular basis, but not all realise what they are doing. An obvious example of persuasive speeches is those of politicians in their election campaign. But they can also be as simple as a customer bargaining over a product, or an applicant selling themselves in the interview … Continue reading Blog Post #8: Persuasion
Blog Post #7: Writing and Rewriting
Shope’s writing brought me a sense of familiarity. At some point, I could see myself and my way of writing - rewriting in the experiences she described and other writers’ stories that she told. That’s me who takes forever to write an 800-word blog, and when it’s done, it’s done – the editing was carried … Continue reading Blog Post #7: Writing and Rewriting
Blog Post #6: As bold as it could be
“Tim let me see the preparation, or embalming, room, a white-walled chamber about the size of an operating room. Against the wall was a large sink with elbow taps and a draining board. In the centre of the room stood a table with equipment for preparing the arterial embalming fluid, which consists primarily of formaldehyde, … Continue reading Blog Post #6: As bold as it could be
Blog Post #5: Barriers to a successful interviewer
I’m so worried about the upcoming interview. I really am. I make a good listener. I don’t know if I should feel happy about that since I’m stuck with having to listen to all kinds of people’s stories all the time, as I pay attention and make people feel like I care. But now the … Continue reading Blog Post #5: Barriers to a successful interviewer
Blog Post #4: The father of Evolutionary Theory
Blog Post #3: Coca-cola of the cyber planet
Whenever I look up a concept on Google, if the Wikipedia explanation isn’t the first result, it would be the second. Apple users will totally understand the situation: input a keyword into Safari/Siri search bar, and the excerpts from Wikipedia would show up on top of the list. For a long time, I had firmly … Continue reading Blog Post #3: Coca-cola of the cyber planet
Blog Post #2: The worst is yet to come
Blog post #2 a response to this week’s reading: “Shitty first drafts” by Anne Lamott. To me it was a bit lengthy and rambling for such a topic, but the author got the right point. Those awful sickening first drafts could be a problem for just any writer. I’ve met similar problems. Though I’m not quite … Continue reading Blog Post #2: The worst is yet to come
Blog Post #1: A girl with no passion
On my first time in COMM 201 Lab, when George was jumping around the room talking about blogging with intense enthusiasm, I sat there a happy smiling girl, and a dead man inside. I was terrified. I had expected anything else but this. And WHAT ON EARTH would I put on my blog? I created a … Continue reading Blog Post #1: A girl with no passion
