This was probably the easiest challenge for me because I am trying to constantly meet new people and get involved. This was great because this is the begining of the semester and there are new people in all of my classes.
Last night I meet a girl named Lynsie. She was really nice and I found out a lot about her. She grew up in North Ogden and wants to study to become an Athletic Cordinator. Currently she is on the WSU track team and is also studing cosmotology. She goes to school in the morning, than track practice and finishes her day at the Ogden ATC. She doesn't get home until 10 o'clock at night
In one of my Political Science classes there is a kid named Sean. It's pretty funny because Sean and I have two Weber State Classes and an institute class together. He is from Roy, I really felt sorry for him, and as it turns out I know a lot of people from his family. I grew up in his grandparents neighborhood and I flirted and swam with his cousin in High school.
I met a girl Angela on Tuesday during a committee meeting at 6:30 in the morning. She is the Vice presedent for Events here on Weber and she still leaves at home. It is not unusual for here to get dirty when she is working and we spent about 40 minutes together painting the side walks with chalk advertising some campus events. The majority of her classes are in the Lynn Lecture Hall but she wants to study Athletic training.
Today I met with Melissa, she is an English major. She has been taking several upper division englsh classes during the years but had just recently taken English 2010. She got a B in the class because she didn't care about the discussion and because it was online. She really enjoys literature and hopes to teach
I also met Melissa's sister Jessica. She is a lot more quite than her sister but she was still fun. She is currently taking a photography class and she bought her camera at DI for about $120. They both live in the Brentwood Aprt. which where they pay about $275 a piece. Currently they are from Clearfield and have been there for 8 years but while growing up there where accustomed to move every 4 years.
I really do enjoy meeting people but I have to talk to them for a while in order to remember their name. Before I served my LDS mission it was diffiicult for me to talk to random people but I learned that all you have to do is get them to talk about themselves. If ever there is an ackward moment answer your own questions so that they don't feel as though you are interigatting them. It is amamzing what you will learn.

Chris,
You had some good insights when discussing how to meet new people. It sounds like you've had quite a bit of experience meeting new people yet you still enjoy it. The advice you gave about answering your own questions seemed particularly important because sometimes people do feel interogated when you first meet them!
Anna
That sounds like a fun group of people to meet! I actually know one of the people you met. Pretty cool!
Chris,
Great use of examples when mentioning the Calvin and Hobbs comic! It's also great that you know seem to know yourself so well. I definately think everyone should take some time to figure out what they stand for concerning values.
Anna
I'm glad that you are constantly meeting people. This shows a level of social experience that few people possess. I'm happy for the class to have such a social person as you involved in it.
Okay,
I have a task for you.
Take what we learned from class last week...Goals/vision/enlising others and put one on your goals on your blog in the same format we did in class:
Past Accomplishment:
Why was that accomplishment important to you?
New Goal:
Steps to get there (you create timeframe):
WHO can help you get there?
WHY will they help you get there?
HOW will they help you get there?
-Jose
