BAM!

If I thought last term was busy with homework, this term is over the top!  I had to cancel my weekend with the kids in order to keep up.  This weekend alone I managed to complete at least four assignments and the required shooting for other projects due soon.  I also met with our Advanced Writing instructor to discuss the magazine that our WAP class is producing – Ethos Magazine.  It is going to be a load of work on top of our regular assignments.  I am wondering how students in the past have managed….

We also have a website that is up and running but under development.  In that website, I have a page with a bio and a picture.  Please visit my page and leave a comment.  (I am having a contest with my much younger classmates to get 50 comments on my page).  Send my blog to your friends so they can comment too!  You can find me at http://ethosmagazinewap.wordpress.com/janice-hayward/ 

• I have to say that this course, the projects, assignments and classmates have introduced me to more Victoria and new ideas.  Here is a bit of what I have been up to:
• Chinese New Year – first one I have ever attended
• Royals Hockey Game – didn’t see the game ‘cause I was shooting J
• Idle No More Protests – great messages and a lot to learn
• Rugby – classmate Ty Jones was playing
• Medical marijuana – sat in the smoking room doing a photo documentary
• First Nations Adult Learning – learning about bringing their language back
• Barbara Hodgson and the Great Northern Boater’s Net
• Afternoon Tea in Victoria
• Interviewing a man terminally ill with Asbestosis
• Learning about the importance of the drum to First Nations people.
• Learning from the greatest instructors in the field
• Visiting CBC radio station

• Interviewing Chief Jamie Graham – VicPD
