I.P.
We are now creating our 'I.P.'s in Pub Tools--our 'Identity Package'. This includes a logo, business card, envelope and letterhead.

Masquerading Around
So far this semester has brought many different adventurous weekends! Last weekend included a Friday night trip to the hospital to visit my friend Ryan who got a concussion while practicing for a play, a Saturday night cooking session and a viewing of the Warren Miller ski film Children of Winter.
This weekend, God blessed us with a break from the below-freezing temps with a sunny day in the 60s! And we made sure to take full advantage of it! I must admit that I went a bit photo crazy--387 pics in one day--but it was worth it! After a wonderful message at church by Wintly Phipps, a group of us hit the Greenway!
Our group for this outing included 7 girls and Ryan. I don't think he had a complaint!
Christine and Anne learned how to longboard. Karalee was teaching ballet too!

The lighting was AMAZING!!!!!!!!
The next part of our adventure took us to Panera Bread for supper and traded Ryan for Marcus (but still included 7 girls). Now, I think everyone has had their names miss-spelled sometime, either in a program or on a coffee cup. I sure have. Once, my name appeared in the church bulletin as "Jolly" and I used to think that it couldn't get worse than that. Boy was I wrong. I looked at my receipt and noticed that my name was now "Hault". Who in their right mind would name their kid "Hault"? And how do you get "Hault" from "Hollie"?
After supper, we went to a few stores to find things to make masks!
Notice Danika's nose coming out of the eye hole!
Dankia: when she's in costume, her name is Shanaynay. So our next adventure of the night took us outside, running around wearing masks just for the fun of it. And oh! Did we get some strange looks! Also, we decided to trade Marcus for Theo.
Rebecca and Danika had so much fun wearing our masks that they decided to start they own gang and insisted to be referred to as "Rosaqita" and "Shanaynay"...

We all found ourselves very thirsty from our masquerading and decided to head to sonic to order waters because none of us had our wallets with us. Unfortunately, Sonic was closed for cleaning and nothing else was open at 12:30 am in Collegedale and curfew was at 1:00.
It felt great to be spontaneous and do silly things. We didn't really "do" anything but it was still so much fun! We want to do it again and perhaps next time head to downtown!!

Student Showcase
I just found out that my first two projects in my Publication Tools and Techniques class were put up on the SAU School of Journalism website! I am very pleased and excited about this!
Go to: journalism.southern.edu
then to 'Student Showcase' on the left hand sidebar
then to 'Publication Tools and Techniques' (click on the picture).
The first one we did was a flyer promoting our major and the second was a card.
If you don't want to follow those instructions, just click here. You'll still need to click on the picture to open the gallery!
I'm excited but then again... This means that I'm going to have to work harder and come up with something even better next time!! Oh! The pressure!!!

Goodbye January!
Since I was absent for almost the entire month of January, I will re-cap anything interesting:
January 18
We had quite a cold snap for a while--down in the low 20s all day. It's been rather cold still (it even snowed today but it didn't stick) and I must say that I'm tired of waking up in the morning and putting on 6 layers, not worrying what I look like. Christine and I bundled up and went for a walk and we weren't the only ones!
I loved this lady's outfit.
The green and red were
quite festive!
This is the only pretty part of the huge Christmas tree that was on display in the middle of Taylor Circle in front of Wright Hall (front and center of campus). It looked good during the night, when it was turned on, but the rest of the time, the obviously fake green branches were just to cheesy. It was, however, quite entertaining inside! Danika, one of her friends and I went inside, just because we could. And we did it after vespers one Friday night. This is quite a big fake tree with plenty of room inside to walk around and slip in between the big iron frame.
Karalee, Christine, Danika and I also had a fun time going down to the basement kitchen in the dorm (which is referred to 'Thatcher Cafe') and cooking ourselves a wonderful dinner of noodles, peas and bread. After enjoying our delicious meal, we had fun blasting music and goofing of before doing the dishes.
Can you spot the ballerina?
January 19 MLK Day
For Martin Luther King Day, SAU students are encouraged to volunteer for community service. This year there were 850 students that went to 70 locations, volunteered over 4,000 hours and it is estimated that students saved organizations in the community more than $22,000. I went with some friends from the drama team to Apison Elementary School where we dusted classrooms and cleaned windows.
When we finished at the school, we still had a lot of time before they were going to served us supper back at the school. After a few phone calls, we decided to head over to the Samaritan Center. There had been a bunch groups circling though there all day. When we got there, I was put on Barbie patrol which included stripping, cleaning, disinfecting, and beautifying a pile of Barbies. We had brushes and detangler to do their hair and body spray to top it all off!
We ended the day back in the gym, all 850 students and enjoyed free meals from 3 different restaurant catering!
Christine, Hiel and Danika waiting for food...
The best part was that it snowed! And it stuck for about a day... This is Layla. She's Christine's roommate from Japan!
January 20, Inauguration Day
A very historic day indeed! The excitement on campus could be felt! I am honored to say that I was able to witness history as the first African American became the President of our country! The hype was all over campus! I started at 11:30 in the Student Center, then went to the Cafe, the hallway, and ended up in the Wellness Center to watch President Obama take the vow. What was I doing running around? Why taking pictures, of coarse!
