7th Summer Journal

This week has been quite interesting from meeting new people to finding a book on intercultural communications for .50 cents. One of the new people that I met this weekend was Melissa Cade's hubstrama, nice guy. I was sooo embarrassed, because Tony put him to work as soon as they arrived at our house (he asked him to hook up my scanner), this is the scanner that I will now be returning to the store since the thing never turns off -- even if it is idle for days. Early in the week Aj and I went to the library to get stuff for my MRP, it just so happened to they had a used book sale going on. I picked up one book it seemed like it was going to be useful --it wasn't, but as I reach out to sat the book down there it was a book titled : Intercultural Communication: A Reader. I could have fallen out on the floor I was so happy, shoot I have been looking for this type of infomation in one source since the beginning of the project--God is good all of the time! Even the fact that while we were in the library I had left my sunroof and windows open, so that it would not be so hot when we got back in the car--suprize, suprize it rained like cats and dogs, but after I got home I was still floating on cloud 9! Praise God STATS is over and I got an AAA..! The summer is moving on and I am glad about it, now I have to start studying for the GRE…yip-yip hooray.

Well the assignments this week included: ongoing library search, describing our mailing list assignment, two more genre drafts, reviewing our peers’ genre drafts. I have completed most of the assignment early in the week and I have really been trying to go over my previous genres. One of the genres I have just completed I am not too sure about, is my referral letter I really need a good example of how one is supposed to look. If anyone has any suggestions I am open. An assignment that I have enjoyed is the peer reviews I have an interesting group of people as peers, there is a lot of creativity floating around in our class… who knew! Now the big thing for myself and a few other students to focus on is copyright info this will be an interesting voyage to take. After discussing some things with Mrs. Mccomas, I called the PBS station in Charleston and talked to one of their radio spokesmen about using copyright stuff he said he didn’t see any problem with using a piece of material, because people do it all of the time. He said that as long as I wasn’t using it for profit and gave credit to the owners that there should be no problem. He made it clear that he does not specialize in this and that I may want to contact Marshall’s Law School Department. I wish I didn't have to go through all of this, but something good will come out of this. I have almost all my corrections and things that I want to do going through my mind—one night I could hardly get to sleep thinking about the alterations I plan on making to my MRP. I want to put my links in side my Newletter but I can't or I don't know how.

LOL,
