Co-Curricular Activity

SALT workshop was held in the beginning of November. This campus activity I attended was helping many students find new ways to save money, use money safely and achieve free scholarships for school. This event was roughly 45 minutes long and most of the time we working in group finding new tips for upcoming freshmen. We played a few games in which some people were able to prizes like lanyards, cups, pens and highlighters. Overall, after this event I was able to keep a limit on my money and till today I am using my money in a safe manner.

Co-Curricular Avtivity

The second on campus activity I attended was Midnight Madness which was sometime in the middle of October. Midnight Madness was a little preview of the entire college classes coming together to celebrate the start of Basketball Season, Volleyball Season and Lacrosse Season. Many clubs and groups came up with skits(plays) and little dance performances. Such as, Basketball Girl's had a small rally jumping and pumping up the crowd and the Boy's Basketball team scored a few hoops. The Lacrosse team did a performance in dresses and at least five boys were dressed as a boy band. Overall, Midnight Madness was success; most of the students at NDNU engaged with one another and we all stuck through as one big team.

Gaia Clips

Stephan Hardings Gaia Theory was ten clips long and a few important facts that stood out to me were:

• Clip 3: Land plants have multicellular lives and they all have regulations that cause bacteria and microbes to rotate the plants, they soon shift into the atmosphere radically.
• Clip 6: Tropical oceans have life but irons bloom with great algae, they suck up high electrons in the sea.
• Clip 7: Free Global Market Economy is unsustainable to have intelligent growth. The whole earth is fundamentally ecological and allows us to have energy and satisfaction. 
• Clip 9: New forms of reconstructed quantitative relum cause the essence of protons and have tree sensitives send to the world. 

Brown Bag Sessions

I had attended a brown bag session in the Gellert Library. In that session I was taught how to use ebooks, books and articles online through the schools website. I forgot the male librarians name, but he had given us a brief description of how to use these sources. He had verified the different types of websites, (i.e. edu, gov, com). We had got to know the difference of how an article and magazine online are similar and/or different. We had also gone over plagiarism and the consequences of using it without citing our work. It is always important to cite our work because we can't take credit of someone else's work. We need to be independent and hard-working individuals who take their own responsibilities and cite their work. As a result, one way to know if you're citing your work right is using (www.purdueowl.edu).

Potrero Nuevo Farm

As a class, we went to go help a few farmers in Half Moon Bay. We were able to pull out potatoes from the ground, cut dried lavenders and tie them in a bunch and also play with Bear. I had really fun today helping everyone and I also think that our whole class was able to work together and get to know each other better. By the end of the day of sweating and some labor we all came back in one piece. We had a great experience outside of school and were able to spend some time in the nature. One thing that stood out to me today was that I loved how Jay and his wife were considerate of keeping snacks and water out for the bicyclist. Overall, todays field trip was a very eye opening experience for me and I would probably do it again. (:

Yay! I'm done!
