Spontaneity

Since we do not have class this week, I will use this time to talk about the current BCS standings in college football and how this system is flawed!!!  HAHA…just kidding.  Maybe another time, but for now…I want to talk about a few things going on that relate to class.  First of all, I have run into a few “snags” during the process of gathering information for my cultural analysis.  Erica mentioned her own frustrations on the class wiki, and I must agree that lately, the people I need to speak to are either too busy or not available!  This is a very busy time at the college since we are approaching the end of the year – many of us have staff conferences and annual meetings over the next 3 weeks.  Furthermore, we must submit our annual reports along with accreditation reports for our new SACS approval.  Anyway, its a rough time to track down people…and get quality answers to my questions.  BUT…I will prevail!  I also wanted to talk about an experience I had last week during our advisory board event.  This was hosted at our Moorefield campus, which is only about 20 minues from my campus in Innsbrook.  Anyway, we have had many discussions about subcultures and this was an excellent example.  Even though both campuses work under the same mission and strive for the same goals, the atmosphere is so very different when comparing the two.  This experience of mine might be better served during class in order to elicit a discussion.  It truly was an eventful experience…
