I stepped outside for the first time in weeks since coming back home because of the coronavirus and took some of these photos for class. It was a cold afternoon and it started to drizzle as I made my way back home. I am such a homebody that I don't mind staying indoors but it did feel weird going outside for the first time in weeks and getting fresh air. 

Watched an Instagram live between Andrew who owns CYM, Timber & Turu's and Danny from @eatthecapital talk about Andrew's businesses. I voluntarily watched this Instagram live because one of Andrew's business partners visit my class about two months about talking about their small business so it was interesting to hear what's going on with them now during this pandemic. 

Today, my roommate and I signed the notice of intent to vacate from our apartment. Something that everyone is required to do. It was a sad thing because we have made so many memories in the past nine months that we have been living here. We're both moving back home after the semester is over so there isn't a reason for us to keep the apartment. 

Zoom Presentations Learned something new about zoom! If someone is presenting their screen someone else can request to move the mouse and take over the screen. This is how we did some of the presentations during this zoom class. It's honestly a game changer and i'm glad we can move forward and take advantage of this new feature. 

ENT 455 ZOOM CLASS 9:45 AM This is my ENT 455 class via zoom this morning. I was almost late this morning because I hit snooze on my 9:30 AM alarm and only had 5 minutes to get up, get ready, and get online. We had an hour-long conversation discussing how we are all doing and what are the business like in our area. ENT stands for entrepreneurship and I decided to take this class this semester to gain more of an understanding of small businesses and potentially work with some of them. After working for a small business marketing agency in the fall, they inspired me to learn more about it. Unfortunately, due to everything that is going on now, the class has to pivot and lean more towards basic research and staying up to date with the news. The clients we were potentially going to work with have now shut down temporary and it's the risk they are willing to take. It's a bummer but at least it's one less class I have to worry about. 

Program Board via Google Meet For the past 3.75 years, I have given up two hours of my evening every Monday dedicated Program Board meetings. For 2 hours, our board discusses past and upcoming events that we plan and execute for the campus community throughout the academic year. This was our first and definitely not last virtual meeting. With heavy hearts during the beginning of this meeting, we had to officially tell our board that all of our events are canceled for the rest of the semester due to the coronavirus. Our board works so hard every day to bring community and make people happy. Love everyone on this board.  

Cell Phone Photography Class via Google Meet  What a weird week it has been as we transition into having online classes for the rest of the semester. This wasn't how I pictured my last two months of college to be. As a graduating senior, it's been difficult, I'm not going to lie. I am very involved on and off-campus so with everything that's going on, my whole world did a whole 360. 

~Spring Break Documentary in Photos series~   >Life of an intern<  Had breakfast at Murry & Paul's for the first time. I had whatever my friend was having and it was delicious!  Time check, it's 4:57 PM and I decided not to wait any longer and go home. I think I might have overpacked for two weeks but it's better safe than sorry. 

~Spring Break Documentary in Photos series~   >Life of an intern<  Went on a giant run when we all woke up and bought a few groceries to make breakfast for brunch.  Everyone left in the afternoon so my roommate and I did a movie night while we ate dinner. Time check, it's 8:26 PM and we're watching "He's just not that into you" 

~Spring Break Documentary in Photos series~   >Life of an intern<  Slept in this morning because I ended up watching two movies last night. When I have time to cook breakfast, this is my go-to. A plain bagel with a sunny side up egg, grilled chicken and ketchup  My best friends are sleeping over this weekend. Time check, it's 11:15 PM, this is us after having dinner at Barcelona Wine Bar and we just got their stuff from their car and are on our way to my room. 

~Spring Break Documentary in Photos series~   >Life of an intern<  I was about to leave my apartment this morning until I got an email from my boss work from home because the whole office will be on a half day schedule. First time I worked from home all semester.  Working from was actually really difficult because everything in my apartment distracted me. Time check, it's 8:44 PM which means it's dinner time. I am having pizza for dinner because it's Lent and I'm finishing up the season for Love is Blind. It's an interesting show which gave me a new perspective on dating a stranger. 

~Spring Break Documentary in Photos series~   >Life of an intern<  First time check, it's 10:09 AM. It was a busy morning when I first got into the office today.  Time Check, it's 4:25 PM and I am sitting at reception for my desk shift. Answering calls and greeting the mail delivery people while cleaning up an excel sheet full of data from last year's Tech Titans event. 

~Spring Break Documentary in Photos series~   >Life of an intern<  Beautiful sunny morning as I walk to the office.  Time check, it's 6:04 PM = Happy Hour. Met up with one of my best guy friends for happy hour and dinner. 

~Spring Break Documentary in Photos series~   >Life of an intern<  Rainy and gloomy day in the district this morning  Time check, it's 3:15 PM. Going on a bathroom break and walk break. 

~Spring Break Documentary in Photos series~   >Life of an intern<   I always start my morning taking the metro down to the office. Metro cart is packed and I am forced to stand during my commute.     Time check, it's 3:41 PM and I am working on following up with wine vendors and getting their response of they are available for our upcoming wine event. 

Light and Shadow |Framing|  Closed my door just enough to create a shadow on the bathroom door while the light in my room reflected on the door too 

Application: Photoshop  Theme: Light Source  Symbolism: Hope  Left Photo: Reflection of candle offerings inside a sanctuary Right Photo: Sunset reflection of the windows I loved how we can see the reflection of the candles on the wall and it's all well lit up because so many people made offerings. I also loved how the light of the other windows across reflected again this window and how colorful and vibrant this side is with the light shining through. These two images symbolizes hope because when visitors light a candle they are hoping for something to happen and when people come into a church, they pray and hope for good and better things to happen. The theme of the light source ties in with the light leading the way and providing hope for the hopeful. 

App: Slow Camera Light Source: Flash Light I was trying to draw a triangle but didn't realize that I kept moving and this is what came out. In a way it looks like a bowtie which is more fun looking than a triangle. I used a tripod to hold my phone and had my brother as my assistant to press the button to capture this image.
