Trying To Get Back In Motion

It is hard getting back in motion of the college life after a break.  Last week Tuesday was the end of my fall break.  I returned to a short week of classes, of which I have no complaints, but shortly after that it was time to get back down to business.

Something that did get me back in motion was getting my blood drawn in my Health and Fitness class in order to have my cholesterol checked.  To my surprise, I am in fairly good shape, but there are some areas that I could work on like eating more healthy foods and exercising.

Last Saturday, as an ambassador, I participated in another Hanover At A Glance.  I had to stand outside in the freezing cold for about an hour and a half directing traffic.  The upside to this story is that I gave my first tour of the campus.  Athough I have some areas that I need to improve on, overall it was a good tour.

I had the opportunity to meet Gurney Norman in my Communication class.  Gurney Norman was a very down to earth man.  He really cares about our environment and as a writer he is very traditional since he would rather write letters than to use today’s advanced technology.  However, he is very fascinated with today’s technology and uses it on occasion.

Speaking of Gurney Norman and his success reminds me that I need to start thinking about where I want to go with my college experience.  So I will need to keep that in mind as I prepare to pick my next semester classes.

About this Blogger

Bio: My name is Jasmine O'Conner. I am a sophomore expected to graduate in 2012. My major is Communications. Other activities that I am involved in are; Student Ambassador, Kaleidoscope (social chair), and Diversity Task Force. I'm 20 years old and I am from Milwaukee, WI. I have 2 brothers and 3 sisters, in which I am the oldest, and would be considered what you call first generation, in reference to attending college. My favorite color is orange and I enjoy listening to music, drawing, and scrapbooking. I would like a career either working with children or a non-profit organization like the many I was involved in before coming to college. Youth & Government, Teen Leaders, and Black Achievers are all good examples. I am really blessed to have this opportunity and experience and will make my parents and family proud after graduating from Hanover College.
