Week 5

So this is my final blog post of FSSP and I'm glad that I met all you guys, and thank you Zach for being a Great TA.(I capitalized the G on purpose, for emphasis, it wasn't a typo. Just thought you'll should know) This week was definitely a good one a little stressful toward the end but good. The good parts of the week: My classes started to get into more interesting material, oh, and we had Monday off, which I used catch up on sleep. On the downside they closed the rec center this week for repairs, so I had to get a little more creative with how I stayed in shape, well get back into shape, so I started running stairs and on Thursday I played touch rugby for the first time ever and it was a blast! I really hope that I can make the team in the fall and that I stop getting sick all the time. I hope to see all of you guys again, thank you for a wonderful summer session.
Best of luck on finals and LIFE.

Dr. Lubach and library

Dr. Lubach's lecture was amazing, I think what made it so awesome was that he made connections with his audience, and was very passionate about his subjects. The connections with the audience that  he made were from his own life or from the lives of others that he had encountered. He used great sensory detail, not so much that we fell asleep but enough that it kept us interested.  Dr. Lubach is a great orator and is very good at bringing out sensory details  for example when he was talking about the rocket launch " the windows shutter"  and then with the imagery  of "the rocket arching away", both things that you can easily visualize. Another thing that I noticed is he didn't use a high level of diction making it easy to understand.
The Library field trip this week was full of great information. It filled in the gaps that were left by the librarians presentation (i.e  : how to get through the tabs and get to the library resources.)   It was interesting to see how many steps it took to access some of the information that the library has subscriptions to. I learned that you can go and sort through things according to department and visit each librarians page and see their specialties and what pages you can visit relating to each dept. and that you can search things by key words.
