Almost there..

Coming into the last two weeks of the semester I'm beginning to feel even more overwhelmed.
Although I can see how the entire research project is coming together, I still feel like there is still so much to do.
I'm concerned with my last multimodal. It is still in the works. In regards to my ARP, all that is left to type up is my conclusions. Thank God.
I'm also a bit apprehensive about tomorrow's poster presentation. I hope I will be able to relax enough to give a good presentation. The board still needs a bunch of papers to be glued on... that will be tomorrow's AM assignment!

Bridal Plasty

This super new series on E! premiers Sunday November 28th at 9:00pm.

The show consists of brides-to-be who compete in challenges to earn plastic-surgery procedures in a quest to win their ultimate dream wedding.

After watching the video online I was less than surprised. This series is just one of the many ways the media has showcased the importance of beauty and how average women "should" look. Below is the link to the video on the E! online website:

Awkward observations

This week I did another observation for my research project at St Thomas cafeteria.
Needless to say it was the most awkward situation I have been in...

I walked into the cafeteria like a lost puppy. After  walking around in circles for 5mins trying to figure out where the plates were, I took a look at what was being offered for lunch. I was overwhelmed with the food options. From what I can remember, the cafeteria served: chicken breast, rice, corn, pasta, cheeseburgers, onion rings, hummus, chicken soup, pumpkin soup, and pretzels. At the center of the cafeteria was a small area for the "salad bar". It was not impressive. Considering the wide selection of food being offered I assumed there would be just as wide of a selection at the salad bar. Unfortunately, the opposite was true.

Once I sat down and began eating my lunch, I observed what the majority of students selected to eat. The #1 choice by the students was the cheeseburger and onion rings. Furthermore, it was observed that the majority of students accompanied there lunch with soda (high in sugar).
