Week 3 or 4?
My how time has passed, I find myself, unconsciously, adapting to Cre Comm and now that I've realized this, I am very happy. Things are beginning to move along well, they are becoming more enjoyable and comfortable and I like it all, I'm beginning to open up and embrace the moments I do have at school and afterwards. Everyone is so fabulous and I appreciate it all, and today's creative writing class was absolutely hilarious, Shelley's nameless doll, so funny, etc. So many more good times to come, im excited. cheers friends :)

Creativity
One thing I have learned upon my attendance here at Red River is that it is like Hogwarts here and by Hogwarts I mean, it is like we are a special breed, hand picked, like we are meant to be here. The teachers want us to flourish, this school is for us to grow and learn and push ourselves to our limits so we can succeed and prosper. It is absolutely amazing and I love it. For those who attended university beforehand, you'd know the difference between Red River and U of M or U of W. There is a huge difference. Creativity is praised, nobody is ignored. SO, I have a really good friend who has an extremely creative brother who I really enjoy watching grow and tap into his creative callings. He is just a young guy but I think all of us can appreciate this clever video. For those who enjoy Hawksley Workman, this one is for you.
Hello all,
A common question among most Cre Comm students is what major we will choose within our first year or so here.. It has stumped me. I first began with journalism. It looked great and I do enjoy news etc etc. After our first week I decided not to. I am in the middle of deciding why I got "turned off" of Journalism, maybe its because in our first week here it was highlighted that Journalism was on its way out... and Im sure many can argue otherwise, but it just seems like a pretty tough career to fully succeed in. I do give the utmost props to the handful of students who do choose journalism, I support them fully for they know they can do it, they know they can succeed. I suppose why I am ranting about this is because many do give up. Now you would think I am a giver upper, but I just lost interest, maybe its our Journalism class that ruined my expectations... but that doesn't matter... I am in this program to find something I will enjoy for the rest of my life and that is why I am ranting about Journalism. For those who, like me, thought it was hopeless by the end of the first week I will argue it is not... If you are interested in it and enjoy it then go for it! You will succeed if you put yourself out there, if you work hard and if you remember to love it, make it your own, make yourself known, kick butt, take names, rock the world.
Now I sound like a hypocrite to most for I stroked Journalism off my list of careers, BUT I recommend not to stroke it off if you really had your heart set on it, if you came here to be that Journalism grad. I think you can do it, be positive! Make sure, whatever you choose, you will have a career in something you will enjoy for the rest of your life. And, well, if worst comes to worst, just go with our teacher's opinions that even if you graduate with a diploma in Public Relations, you may very well end up in advertising and so on.
Just a thought from Nicki D, enjoy!

My First Blog Ever
Well my intentions for the future of my blog is based on my own concerns regarding the city we live in, Peg City, and my likes and dislikes regarding restaurants, music and people in general. It should be alot of fun and I am looking forward to voicing my opinion, putting a different perspective on things and opening other's minds to the fabulous world around them. Yay to the future, hurrah to change.
