Progress

11/20/09 2 hours

For the next couple days what I am going to be doing is finding all the information possible on the subject of how women can get into the trade, how much money they make a customer, and how many percent of them are forced and are beaten and any other information about the subject. I also will begin to write a script and make ideas for the video that we want to make telling people about sex trafficking and Cambodia and why it is important to them and why they should pay attention to this subject, and how educating them is the best way to help out. That is what we will focus our video on. I was thinking about making a video like the one on NBC, called "The more you know," they use famous actors to portray the message they are endorsing and I think our subject would be a good one to do. We wrote our proposal and we are working on a time where we can all meet as a group again and figure some more of what our video will have in it and any other methods of presentation we will use.

Good Video

We found this video and we want our video to be similar to this. It has a lot of good methods of making the viewer sympathize with her and want to help her out because the stories that they tell are terrible and women should not be put through something this terrible.

BALL STATE SPORTS

The other day I went to a womens volleyball game and it was pretty exciting. They won in 3 straight games, they are supposed to be pretty good this year and the victory I saw did not disappoint. I also met my wife that I will marry on Ball State's team. Now I just need to figure out what her name is. The men's basketball team plays tonight against Valporaiso and this is their first game so hopefully they start out with a win. Hopefully they are good this year, but I have not really heard much about them. Also many people I have talked to are very disappointed in our record in football. They go from having an undefeated season to only winning 1 game, they have 2 games left so they hopefully will at least win those 2 games. If only they hadn't lost so many of their weapons then maybe they would be better, but I still stand by my school!

Group Project

.30 Hours

Today we discussed our group topic which is sex trafficking in Cambodia and also other places. I looked at videos already made about the subject and found many videos with valuable information concerning why it happens and ways to prevent it. We discussed our video options and we are considering making a video from the sex traffickers perspective because it is different or we might just do an informative video message for a call to change. The video part is the one that we need to figure out and what other methods we are going to use on our project. Good beginning to the project, we just need to work hard and start gathering information.

COOKIE COOKIE COOKIE

My mom makes cookies all the time and since I am not home there is not anyone at my house who will eat them so when I get home there is always an overflow of cookies. All of my friends who have had her cookies fall in love with them after eating one. I always get cookies to take back with me which is awesome and I get to feel like it used to be. Usually if I bring them into my dorm they are devoured and do not last very long. If you want to try one just let me know!

SPONGEBOB!

I know it is a little kids show but for some reason it makes me laugh uncontrollably. The things that happen in the show never happen in real life and that is partly why it is so funny. After class there is nothing like relaxing and watching some mind-numbing spongebob to let it all go. Another reason is this is my first experience having cable and everyone else has had it all their childhood so I need to catch up with everybody and watch all the Spongebob I can!
