A Day in the Life of a Student: Carolyn Murdock, Team 6 / 3b
It’s my brother’s birthday!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN!!!!
Today. I’m pretty sure today is Wednesday. I think it’s around 8:30. But I’m never sure anymore. I guess I’ll just take y’all through my day.
So I arrived at Averbuch promptly at 7:30 and had a pretty great lecture from Dr. Owens about innovation. We had to make animal sounds at one another and the awkward laughter was roaring.
Then Michael Burcham took me personally (in his really awesome car) to WME to talk to the VP of Human Resources, Sue Ann Cordell. It was extremely helpful. I learned a lot of insight about the entertainment industry and got to take a tour of the beautiful office. I was extremely nervous, but Michael sat in the room with us to make it a very comfortable, less formal talk about the business side of the industry.
Then back to Owen! I can never leave it for too long. We had about a 5-hour session for our Oasis project which went by insanely fast because we were all in a frenzy to get 95% of our powerpoint, storyboard, and bibliography done. We all get along so well that we have to be really disciplined to stop making jokes and actually do something productive.
All I can say is, for lunch we had chicken, wrapped in cheese, wrapped in bacon. Put two of them together, and we have a double-decker.
Back to Dr. Owens! We watched a video about cool, extremely nerdy engineers who invent wonderful things (like innovative grocery carts). I had a good time.
We had our second meeting with our new teams. I think my new team is exponentially more efficient than my last one, but I’m scared to say anything to jinx this. Again- I LOVE my first team, but sometimes our time management is greatly flawed.
It’s 8:30- as I started this. Time to move onto our Oasis project to work. Perhaps I’ll get six hours of sleep tonight! What a luxury J
Peace out cub scouts - Love,
Carolyn Murdock, (Team 6 and 3)
