Absent
Will not be attending class today due to a scheduling conflict at work. Will there be anything i need to do to prepare for next week!? Lindsyplunkett


 * Lindsey,
 * Complete your work on the Always Wanted To project, as I noted on your Userpage. Today we talked about research and information literacy--the discussion will continue next week.
 * Best, Stevenarntson

Freshman Seminar Absence
Hello Steven, I'm Tommy Wilson, I am a student in your Friday 8am Feshman Seminar class. I missed last Friday and was wondering what I need to do to somehow make it up or at least get caught up for next fridays class. Thank You


 * Tommy,
 * Make sure you've got your Always Wanted To assignment posted and the schedule and research portions entirely filled out. Also, take a look at the links under week 2, which we'll continue going through next week.
 * Best, Stevenarntson

Always Wanted To Question
What I want to do project, I my roommate that the Rafting guild wont be able to take me and my finance out until week 8 which is sept 6th is that too late? Neblinahayes


 * I think that sounds fine--presentations won't occur until weeks 10 and 11, and you can work on research leading up to that time.
 * Best, Stevenarntson

Always Wanted To Topics
Hi Steven, Tommy Wilson again, since I did miss last Friday's class I wasnt able to run some topics I was thinking of using by you, so I guess I can just do that on here. I was think about making my goal about living within a budget, meaning, I have so much every 2 weeks to live off of, and so far I am failing miserably at it, lol, so I wanted to just make it my project. Form a list every week for food, etc., and see if I can stick to it. What do you think? It's the only thing I have come up with that can be done in a 10/9 week time frame and will be helpfull to my life as well. If there is sometime this week that I can catch you on campus before Friday to go over my idea in a little more detail let me know. Thank You


 * Tommy,
 * Go for it. My only question is with regards to research--what will the research portion entail? I'm sure there are some good online resources about living within a budget, and you might also be able to find some interesting stuff at the Seattle Public Library (where we're heading this week).
 * Best, Stevenarntson

Hi Steven, so I show up to the school at 8am on Friday just to be told there was no school, I guess I was the only one that didnt know about Institution Day, lol. Anyway, I have started making a journal about my budgetting and how its going. I got a couple books at the Seattle library on the subject as well. I am also finding some helpful research online, like menu planning for the week, stuff like that. I figure at the end I'll put it into a Power Point presentation and deliver it to you and the class. Just thought I'd let you know where I'm at on the sudject, see you Friday, unless there is another holiday I dont know about.

Link
I can't find where to put that link at.Andrewberhow


 * To what link are you referring? Stevenarntson

Haunted House ?
I'm trying to get in contact with owners of "haunted" places around Washington, but nobody has gotten back to me. Do you know of any solution to this? Or perhaps a more open place with people willing to let a group of teenagers into their establishment/home? KaseyGalash


 * Kasey,
 * I'm utterly ignorant about hauntings, I'm afraid. I do wonder if there are any local ghost hunting groups already active? Contacting people who are already doing it might be a good first step.
 * Best, Stevenarntson


 * Kasey,
 * I do know of there being a Ghost Hunting group that mother attended from time to time. They do have meetings that anyone can join. I think they are part of the TAPS family(Ghost Hunters off Syfy fame) not sure though. I can find out more info if you like?

 * Charlie,
 * Hey! I'd love to know what that group is. I am attending some meetings this month with a few groups in the area. One being AGHOST, the other WSPIR. I think AGHOST is part of TAPS, who I also got in contact with last week. Way cool.
 * Thanks!

 * Steve,
 * Is it tomorrow that we're going to the Seattle Public Library? If so, can I meet you all there? I get off the bus on 5th and Pine or something like that. Maybe Pike... Anyway I know it's close to there. Is that okay?
 * Thanks, KaseyGalash


 * Kasey,
 * We'll be doing some things in class first; the library doesn't open until 10 (which is a shame, I think).
 * Best! Stevenarntson


 * Steve,
 * Sorry, I always have questions. I'm doing my investigation on 8/20 at Fort Worden. That's a Thursday, and we're doing it overnight. I'm likely to miss class on the 21st, and though it's probably too early to tell, I was just wondering what I would miss and if I could make it up.
 * Thanks! 71.112.135.68


 * I believe that's week 6, which may involve some presentations in class--but if you miss, you can still present the following week. Best, Stevenarntson


 * Steve,
 * I will, in fact, be missing class this week. I've posted the midterm assignment on my page, and I'll probably be adding to it, but is that all I'll be presenting? Do I need a visual for next week?
 * Thanks, KaseyGalash


 * Kasey,
 * Presentations have ended up being week 7, and the assignment is posted on the Freshman Seminar page, with materials under this week's lecture. Let me know if you have any questions. Best, Stevenarntson

Presentation Guidelines? Missing?

 * Steve,
 * I tried clicking on the what I always wanted to presentation guidelines and it's telling me that page cannot be found. Any help on this?

Thanks, Justingleeson


 * Justin,
 * Sorry about that--a glitch. I've made a web-based version of the page here.
 * Best, Stevenarntson
