A Very Taskful Thursday

By Joshua
Posted on 03/30/09

As usual its thursday and I have a nice lineup of classes. I managed to wake up early today.

I grabbed breakfast and then ran off to Criminal Law. Now then, something cool about my professor is that he is a politician, yep, Michael Lawlor. By day he’s a professor, and by night he is a representative for the state house. Anyways, today he handed back the midterms which I got a not so decent grade in. But he assured us that it was no problem as we needed to get used to it beforehand and he told us a story about him in law school failing his first ever final, which was basically the entire grade for the class.

I then ran off to E110. Today we did poems, and we were asked to form groups to practice analyzing poems. My group had some fun chatting it up and after we presented our stuff, we were let go. After English, I went to look for a past professor to help me write a recommendation for the honors program. I was fortunate to find him and he gladly did it. That’s why I like that professor.

After that I went to biology and took a very long, hard and nerve-wracking exam. I hope I did well on it.

Then I ran back to the dorm and I found out from a suitemate that students could go talk to the New Haven Symphony Orchestra people in their house on our campus to get free tickets to their show tonight. So from our suite we gathered 4 people including myself and we headed off to their place. While walking there, we all had thoughts on what they actually did in their house. One of the ideas was that it will turn out that the New Haven Symphony Orchestra is actually a part-time fraternity full of old people that actually throw the craziest parties on campus. Haha, NHO house.

When we arrived there, it wasn’t quite that. It looked more of an office than a house. We talked with the people there and they told us that they didn’t have tickets and after some phone calls and conversation, we were told to just get on the bus at 6:30pm and we would arrive there to pick up our free tickets to see the show. CooL!

I had class shortly after though, so I ran to chemistry and I took their test. Yep, it was a crazy day, a biology and a chemistry test. For all those who have taken them, it is quite tasking.

After the test, I grabbed a quick dinner and me and my suitemates dressed up for the Orchestra tonight.  We then headed to the bus and then we proceeded there.

Now all I have to say about the orchestra was that it was spectacular, it was very amazing.  I have never seen so many people so dressed up and so many old people in one place. However, the music was really good and it is so great that the University sponsors them so we get these free tickets. I bet they’d be pretty high costing normally. They played Rhapsody in Blue where the pianist was so good and they also played West Side Story music.

Well nothing else after the orchestra, unless you count what I missed during the orchestra, which was 2 club meetings. Anyways, I came back to campus after an amazing 3 hour show of music and then ran to Sandellas with the people I was with, then I ate it, and then after going on online for a while, I went to sleep. And ends this taskful day.

    i think Josh Low is very involved and smart student. The fact that he gets time to blog for us is really mind blowing. He is in my club ISA and i know him as a friend and an all in all as a Genuine, SMART and awesome guy.

    I think Blogging is the most unprofessional way of saying what you wanna say without grammatical corrections or anything else. Check out other blogs man!!

    And Josh keep writing and blogging and take constructive comments on your blogs but don't stop writing and don't take everything to heart because you know that America is a free country AND WE CAN SAY AND WRITE WHAT WE WANT TO WRITE!! PERIOD

    plus you have this awesome gift USE IT!!

    Joshua:
    I am a student attending UNH. I feel that grammar ALWAYS counts. No matter where you're writing, you must always use proper english. In your blog you said words that I don't even believe are words..i.e. tasking. All I'm asking is that when you write you proofread your writings out loud to yourself so you can hear the way your blog sounds. First impressions are the lasting impressions. I read every blog on here when they're posted. Each person has a problem or two in his or her blog. (I know I make grammatical errors constantly)Your blog put me over the top because it embarrassed me as a student. Anyways, I look forward to your next blog. Don't take what I said offensively as I only meant to help you improve your writing.

    To the previous comment:

    I wasn’t aware that being grammatically correct was one of the rules of blogging. From reading your comment, I decided to do some research and I came upon some websites containing what they believed were the main blogging rules. Of the five sites I checked off a Google search, only one of them mentioned being grammatically correct as one of the rules of blogging.

    I do have to apologize that I wasn’t meeting your expectations in my blog. You are the first person so far offended by my blogs and if you really do believe some grammatical errors will affect first impressions of UNH, I will back you up all the way and I will try to make sure it will never happen again.

    P.s. Going off topic, of all the blogs, am I really the only one with grammatical problems? Did you make a conclusion from just my blog or was it from a comparison to everyone else? Also, you don’t sound like a student, are you a professor, parent or other staff member on campus?

    PLEASE have your writing reviewed at the CLR before you publish it on the New Haven website. Remember, you are representing UNH here. This is not a personal blog that only you will read. If I was a prospective student and I read this blog I would not be in awe with the student's intelligence. This blog has WAY too many grammatical errors and should not have been published. It's embarassing, from one student to another, to read these blogs knowing that I'm not the only person reading them. Everybody in the world has access to them and is this how we would like to represent the University? -With grammatically incorrect sentence structure and misspelled words?
