Muse Event #3

For the final Mise event I went to one called ' Animation Analyzation". I didn't really understand this workshop. But after it was over, I thought about it and relazed that it was about religion and sprituality. We watched an episode of Family Guy. This episode made fun or regilion, and protrade it as a bad thing. Now it isn't but that is what the media does. Also we takled about the difference between the two. Regiligon is an organized apporach to human spirtuality which usually encompasses a set of narrative, symbols, beliefs, and practices. Spirtuality is emotional strength, hope, and self emotion. Also, that you can be one without the other. I think that I did'nt pick up in it at first is because it was hidden in the cartoon.

Music Review ( revision)

I reviewed the song " something new" by Rains. When I actually listened to the lyrics I found that the band was talking about how you are always in the same place and state of mind. No matter were you live or go. A line is " You get yourself so ready to go now, as if the same will meet all your expectations". But then they talk about how you need to open up and do something different. " Why don't you do something new; why don't you let your hopes and dreams come back to you". So try and to do something for your self. Don't stay in a place were you are not happy. The band was originally from northern Indiana. The lead singer is a tattoo artist. In this song they talk about how much hard work they put into their music, to get their music out there. To me this song means a lot. I think that they are talking about something that everyone goes thought. In a way I think that it applies to me. I have been in the situation that they are talking about, and now I found that I am not happy with it, and that I need to change something in my life. This song has as made me think more about my own life and want I want out of it.

Non- Muse Event #2

For the second non-muse event I went to a club meeting. I am a club member of the Pre-physical therapy club, and I went to a meeting. For this meeting the club invited 5 therapist to come and talk to us. One of them just recently graduated from SJSU, and is now in grad school. He talked to us about how to apply to grad school, and what classes that me took at SJSU. Another therapist that was there talked to us about what the field was like when she entered it, a long time ago. She also talked about the different types of volunteer hours that you need. There is in-patient, out-patient, and rehabilitation, and which one would be better for you to get into.

Muse Event #2

For this muse event I went to a workshop called Spring Registration. So basically this workshop showed us how and what we needed in order to sign up for classes in spring. I found at that i will not be able to sign up for English or math until December. Which I think is unfair, but I can't do anything about it. Also, I learned that when you are adding classes make sure that you know how much you can take. Like, 2 easy classes and 2 hard classes. Whatever works for you, but you need to start to figuring that out. Also, make sure that you take the classes needed for your major.

Moment that changed Rock 'n' Roll

The Who smashing their instruments after a preformace. They mainly smashed their instruments after their hit song " My Generation". No other bands at the time were smashing their instruments. I think that this lead the way for other bands. They could take control of their music, and their own careers.

Drug Essay

I would say that the drugs of choice for freshmen would be pot and alcohol. I have to say that I have never smoked, and it's funny because my closest friends haven't either. They have never wanted to, and to this day have no desire too. However, we have other friends that do and wanted us too, but for some reason we never have. As far as advice for incoming freshmen I would say just be careful. Don't just do a drug or drink just because your friends want you too. Make sure it is something that you want to do. I am not saying do not do it, but just make sure it is on your terms.
