Hampshire College
So I just arrived on campus for the Multicultural Overnighter and Accepted Students Day. I've met some really cool people and checked out the photography building and the arts farm. I will be updating this post with my experiences over the weekend.
Writing the Urban Experience
Taught by W. Ryan at FPH 105
Now, I'm sitting in on this class. It's kind of a big class. 23 People. The people in the class are sitting around the tables made into a hollow square. On the outside are all the admitted students/visitors. There are almost as many of us as there are of them. The class is discussing a piece of writing by a student in the class entitled Jersey Kids and cars about the driving as a pastime. It brings back memories of blasting ballads like Journey's Don't Stop Believing and yelling driving with friends when I lived in Washington.
The next story, Laura's story, is about Laura, the aunt of a student who is quite a character, she is a mother of five, went to college while working at Smith and took 10 years to do her undergraduate degree, taking one or two classes at a time. It's quite an interesting piece. I really like it. Although, it does leave you with something missing. I'm just so excited to be in college and participating.
So, that kind of failed, didn't realize my day would be so jam packed. I had a really good time and met a lot of really amazing people. I'll finish up this blog post soon.
Too Many Blogs
Ok. Being online is addictive and I can definitely say that it's an addiction of mine, but I'm finding that I've started a bunch of new "blogs" all of which have a purpose. I know you guys really like stalking me. I'm actually just kidding, but if you're interested here are all my online presences that I can think of at the moment. I might or might not update this post with new things, but the reason I have so many is that I like trying new things. I start them and give them a chance to grow. Some I keep some I let live on with few posts. I'll give you my spiel about each and why the are useful. I'm not going to list the ones that I am "working" for because I'm sure you've heard about them already or will hear about them later. Here are all my personal ones.
Formspring: http://formspring.me/justinleung - I try to be honest and genuine about all the questions here and have yet to get one that I didn't answer. If you want to ask me something publicly this is the place. Otherwise email Justin@justinleung.net or if you're really adventurous, call 415.997.9201.
Tumblr: http://jstin.me - This is basically where I write my more or less unadulterated raw feelings. I have to warn you that it's also full of snippets of cuteness and love.
750 words: http://750words.com/entries/stats/34887 - Here's the analysis of today's entry. I really like this because I can be totally uncensored and incoherent. I basically go on a word rant every morning (I try.) I just write whatever comes out and it's great because I know no one else is reading it and I can say whatever. It's basically a journal.
DailyBooth: http://dailybooth.com/justinleung - Ok this isn't a blog, but it's just daily pictures. I don't know if it's really that useful, but it's entertaining and cute. I haven't been doing a picture everyday, but I might. I'm pretty sure no one wants to see me that much actually.
