Changing Season

On Thursday 26th February 2008, was having a snowstorm in Eau Claire. I was at transfer center going to do service learning with Nan. The snow was falling from the sky. It was so pretty but very cold. The snow was increasing in only 1 hour. I was taking a picture and also play the snow. Even though it was cold but it was also beautiful day with snow falling from the sky. I like that moment when I saw tons of snow falling down from the sky.

What in-groups you might have/could have belonged to had you been born 100 years ago?

My in-group that I might have belonged to if I had been born 100 years ago was the Siam People.Thailand 100 years ago was not call as Thailand but Siam. Thailand 100 year ago still had a slave system; at that time I could have been at home doing housework as a slave in a royal family. I would have lived and worked with many people that came from different part of Siam to worked as a slave. It could have been so heavy work because at that time there would not have a convenient things and technology as present. I could not go out from the royal place. I could have been comfortable by have a food to eat and a place to sleep but I could not have a freedom and my own decision. I would have to be at the royal place and worked as a slave all day and night.

Service Learning opportunity

For Service Learning opportunity in this semester, I choose to do the same thing as last semester. That is Music Therapy. I taught guitar for the women who is disabling. That was so fun and inspired me in music therapy program. I taught her to play the basic chord with only one finger one the bar of guitar. We also had a recital last semester. I had to meet Professor Lee Anna every week. She is Music Therapy program professor to know how is going with the women I teach guitar and have to make a plan for next lesson. Professor gives me a chance to design how to teach her too.


It was not only I gave her my skill but she and her family also teaches me in many things such as English skill and American culture. I also knew how to ride a bus because I had took a bus to go to her house by myself.



This semester I think I could start to do service learning next week because I will meet Professor Lee Anna this coming Friday. It should be a good time to give other people with my skill in music.

BOB

Last Wednesday I participated in BOB (Blugold Organizations Bash). This semester the event located at council fire Room in Davies Center. Actually last semester I joined this event also.It was outside around the clock tower because there were fall season and were not cold. I joined Japanese club and Hmong club.

This semester were many Organizations for UWEC students to join such as the club about sport, charity, art, culture, and language. For me, I interested in the club about art or music and they have a club call NOTA (None of the Above) and Sigma Alpha lota.

NOTA (None of the Above) is the campus creative arts magazine, published once a semester. Sigma Alpha lota is the club about International Music Fraternity for Women.
I talked with the girls who are at the booth of the club NOTA and Sigma Alpha lota. They just invited me to join the first meeting that’s coming. They will send me the date by e-mail later.


I think this event is very good for UWEC students that totally different from my home university because my home university don’t have many club like this in university. UWEC have many organization and activities for students to do except only study.
