Week 2: January 20 - 29
Bake Sale Prep (5hrs and counting)
Party Raffle (2 hrs)
Departmental Meeting (1.5 hrs)
Grading Films/Abstracts (3hrs)
Snow Day Presentation (1 hr)
Bake Sales are way more complicated than you think they are. As well as event planning on a $0 budget. This is no game. I've definitely been challenged by the process (which I love, never let me get bored..I shut down and quit doing things). I'm excited and nervous for the Bake Sale and for the party, which are happening one right after the other, but confident that we can pull it off.
Since we will be having it in the morning, and since the morning is a high traffic time, I thought it would be a good idea to include breakfast items. We can have donut holes and orange juice potentially? Breakfast muffins? That way people who probably are not craving chocolate cookies can buy the breakfast they most likely neglected to eat. And it's cheaper than Einsteins or Starbucks!
I'd also like to have a wrapping party, where we individually wrap all the items. I live far away, so if we had it somewhere everyone could come to close to campus it would make the drop off much easier and I would also have help wrapping the items.
So many ideas in my head! I'm putting them all into a plan as I type!

Kicking Off the Spring Semester
Visions Week 1: January 13th - 19th
Syllabus (20 min)
Class (5 hrs)
Departmental Meeting (30 min)
Calendar Updates (15 min)
Grading Abstracts #1-16 (2 hrs)
This week was mainly spent on starting back up again with Visions. The first class was a great reminder of where we left off as well as a good overview of what is to come. I'm stoked to start looking at abstracts and films and really get the ball rolling on the event. Event planning is one of my favorite things to do, and even the smallest details are exciting to me. I was glad to see a bunch of new faces in the class. It will be great to have new voices/talents/ideas to go around. I love collaborating with other people and seeing what they bring to the table.
All of the events seem to really be coming up quickly, so preparedness is key. The key to the success of any event is always in it's organization, so I will be working on my events extensively to make sure everything goes smoothly.
Another thing I think that will be really important to the success of our events is being each others' safety net, so-to-speak. Which basically means not letting anyone do something on their own. There are a lot of big things going on, and stress is high. So by keeping our heads up and alert to the needs of our team members we can keep their heads above water.
