Extra post for the points

Tomorrow will be my last day at Bridgewater State College as an undergraduate student. Well kind of, I guess not really until Saturday, but whatever. After graduation I will be working with the Orientation Program here at Bridgewater State.

Apparently there is a new reservation program coming to the campus and I am going to be attending the session at 11:00am to learn how to use it. All year long I worked as a Student Program Advisor (SPA) in the Office of Student Involvement and Leadership and we worked with r25's. Don't ask me what that stands for because I do not know. With this new system the Student Program Advisers are going to work more closely with the technology aspect of the reservations. I am excited to see what this will do for the intercommunication between OSIL and CESO!!

Digital Drop Box

So as my career at Bridgewater State College comes to an end I realized that I still do not understand everything that I do as an undergraduate.
I have been an active member of the blackboard system. I know how to email through it, check my grades, post on the discussion board, and much more. I have been an Administrator as well as a Student account. For the life of me, I do not know what the difference is between sending an email to a professor and dropping something in the "Digital Dropbox!" I know how to do it, and I have successfully done it many times. I just don't know what makes this form of communication so special.............

Cell Phones

So my cell phone is having some temporary difficulties and I can not use it as a phone.

People keep asking why I bother carrying it around if I can't call anyone. I have begun to realize I use my phone for so many other things~! It is my alarm clock, my day planner, my watch, my address book, and so much more. This is a lot like convergence's discussion on the "black box."

I do miss being able to talk to someone at the touch of a button.
