First Week in Newhouse

This week has completely changed my life. I am finally living in a different city on my own. I have to take two classes this summer. They are a lot easier than I expected. I haven't been doing a whole lot socially lately. I think that almost everyone has been too tired to do very much.

Yesterday, I went to the dean's house for the Newhouse grad picnic and softball game. I hung out with some of my sorority sisters and a few other cool people. The chair of my program, Dr. Schoonmaker, was really nice and tried to get to know some of the TRFers. Dean Rubin had groups of people around him as he told stories about Syracuse.

I worked on my first video project for my class this weekend. We were put into groups of four and had to do our videos without any audio. Each video had to be based on one of the two books we read before classes began. Two of the people in my group acted in my video, and I acted in two of theirs. In one video, I played the invisible hand of a card-playing computer.

Everyone will show their unedited videos in class tomorrow. Wish me luck!
