The Puzzle Pieces Finally Fit.[week 6]

Task#3

So far I have had many good experiences at my service learning. Ive met new interesting people that could potentially help me further my career in wedding planning and/or wedding photography. I havent really thought about which career I actually want to do but its a pretty tough choice. Both careers are right up my alley. This weekend I am actually getting the chance to attend a wedding. The wedding is downtown at Trumps so it will be very benefical to me. Im really excited. I get to see all the planning come together.

Bridezilla on the Run.[week 5]

Ive learned many things about the whole wedding planning deal. Ive learned that it basically takes FOREVER to plan a wedding and that there is a lot more put into it than I thought. People start planning their wedding months sometimes even a year in advance to make sure everything is exactly how they want it to be. Everything from food to photographers are planned to "the t." People spend so much money on their weddings and the receptions and planning something of such a large scale on your own could be very difficult and I think that the planner is actually the person that keeps everyone from pulling their hair out especially the bride.

Running Late... But Whats New?[week 3]

Task #1

I think I need to work on being on time. I always seem to being running late no matter what my plans are. I always have a routine while getting ready to go somewhere. I always do the same routine no matter what I have planned for the day but sometimes I get side tracked and lose track of time. I think I need to work on this. I also have a problem with finishing things that I start.

Task #2

To take better notes...

• Bring all notetaking materials such as pens, paper, etc.
• Review previous notes
• Write quickly
• Re-write notes after class
• Review notes after class

To control excessive procrastination...

• Finish task when I start them
• List everything I need to do
• Make a checklist
• Take a few breaks but not many
• Look over my work

Task #3

My schedule at my service learning vares from week to week but I always seem to be on time. My service learning is not far from my house so I guess that has a lot to do with it. Ive learned a lot of things at my service learning. Ive learning things that will help me with the career I wish to have which is wedding planning or event planning. Im excited about the next few weeks because Im hoping I can attend a few events that I helped plan.

I Got Bills to Pay, People to Meet and a Plane to Catch.[week 4]

My first impression at service learning was a very good impression. I expected many other things then what I really do during my service learning. I expected loads and loads of like paperwork but really there is not that much paperwork. I get to meet new interesting people that could help me further my career. I have had a few things given to me so I could contact people such as photographers and other event planners so I could speak with them and hopefully learn more about a career of my choice. Ive learned that there is more to event planning then just making sure everything is in place, things such as dates, times, locations, guests, food, seating and many other things come into play while planning for any type of event.

In the future I actually plan on attending a few events that have been planned. I really look forward to actually seeing everything after it has been planned out and how everything fall into place.
