E.T.C SUMMER EXPO 2010

By Ryan Ngala

Harlem, New York WSTN-TV/WRTN-DT

A gallery presentation is open in both the E.T.C Robeson room and the E.T.C Mac lab; it started at 1:00-3:00pm. First I went to the presentation for the “Make Some Noise” at the E.T.C Computer Lab that started at 1:45-2:30pm. Then I went to the rise up exhibition and I saw pictures and ads in every one of them, I saw the mural of different drawings and paintings. I went to the E.T.C Mac lab for the forever young exhibition and I saw a sculpture of the hcz model and the entire neighborhood and a collage. At the tutor room I saw the group called “The Roots” as they were practing for their part of the show as they were stepping and doing their thing. So as the make some noise were getting started the performers who got up to say their part were Leland and Terrance Buckner. I saw a blog for the make some noise site at bestofmakesomenoise.tumblr.com and there were always some refreshments along the way.

At 2:36pm the musical theatre show at the E.T.C tutor room was just getting started and everybody was taken their seats to sit down there were music playing, drummers drumming and so fore. First group was the roots as they were chanting and stepping at the same time, Then Geoffrey has host many plays such as “Birthday Parties” and “The Broken Hearted Girl”, after that they had play the drums especially nick. But unfortunately Tai Garcia the Junior Advisor is leaving the E.T.C Building and as a member of the E.T.C family it was announced by the program director of E.T.C James Horton and for which she is actually leaving the building for tomorrow.

Another day at HL

so today started off bad i lost my money on my way here and the weather is horrible. Today is just not my day I want to go home! :(

Yesterday!

Yesterday I didn't come into work at HL because I volunteered for the senator of queens at her office. It was a great experience for me because it showed me what politics are like. She had me make phone calls and run errands. I decided to volunteer so I can add it to my college resume because I will be a senior this coming september! xD lol I also did it because at school I'm a part of the National honor society and we need to help our community in any way we can.

People I want you to understand that I am here for you to USE ME. I am here to help edit stories, give advice, suggestions and all of that. Don't hesitate to ask me for help...

Hello PPL

So, it's Monday & a new week. I missed Fridays' presentations because someone (Shelise) gave em the wrong address to the location. However, I will be there for this week's presentations. I did come in on the deliberation process. Remember people this is only the first presentation. If you lost, don't fret. Just improve. Start practicing as early as Wednesday for it & continue to practice until the day for you to present comes. Be sure to include all team members in the presentation as much as you can & as creative as you can.

I'm looking forward to be helping you guys. I'm going to be having a weekly staff meeting with each team to help them finalize their ideas & just to see where they are at. At 2, I'm leaving to head to the Source Magazine. I want to get that done & over with. Then tomorrow, I'm going to start writing my curriculum for my weekly journalism class... Bye Bye folks

Day 2, July 13

So today we went to 42nd and 5th ave to the big library. We had a computer class about search databases. The class was alright but the weather really wasn't. When we came out, it was pouring and the majority of us were, UMBRELLA-LESS! So we all got soaked. Now we're back at the office, and I think by the end of the summer, we will be claustrophobic. We will be starting tomorrow, because of the weather. Quativea's account doesnt open AT ALL, though we keep changing the password, but lets see how that goes tomorrow.

The source is Crap...

Sooo being at the Source is crappy. I'm usually sitting around waiting to be told what to do. So now I have this assignment where I have to read this book full of smut about drug dealers & baby mamas & write a review on it. It has not been released yet so I guess I'm lucky... Woo hoo. The book is titled Welfare Wifeys.... A HoodRat Novel... =/ The title speaks for itself. I'm waiting for these kids to get here then 'm out at 3. I have to read this crap. I'm also tryna wait till the rain clears. Don't wanna get soaked.

Here

Hello people. So I am here and I'm having a pretty good day. I'm getting Kathryn to come teach a memior class. I'm also going to have Sienna come in and teach a class. I'm working on getting Toni Renihold, a famous journalist from Thomson Reuters to come in and keep a journalism class. I think that would be great for you guys. As far as now, I'm teaching a journalism class on Monday at 12 pm. So be there...

Day 2: Scavenger Hunt

Today is the second and final day of the Scavenger Hunt & this time I'm staying in. The guys did a lot yesterday, so we're just fixing up some stuff. Jalice and Kevin just left to finish the other tasks in Harlem and Downtown. I really hope we win, because yesterday was a tough day. We're just finishing up some stuff right now, hopefully everyone comes back by 4:55 ! Now let me finish the work.

Day 1: Scavenger Hunt

So today was the 1st day of the Scavenger Hunt. It was okay I guess because the weather wasn't all that bad. Our group seperated, two boys stayed at the site, kevin and jalice stayed in Harlem, while carmen, lilly, and I traveled Downtown. We had to go all the way to Brooklyn. It was CRAZY! Then afterwards we went to SoHo. It was kind of nice seeing all the stores but then again fustrating since our goal was far away from shopping. We completed a few tasks on our paper and we were DEFENITELY tired. We had gone into one bank, CitiBank, and I have to say it was one of the best places we went too. We were so hungry and thirsty, but eager to win this so we had no chance to consume anything. When we got there, the ac was great and we saw a big jar of lemonade. OMG , I think we drank the whole thing to be honest. The manager wasn't there but one of the workers who seemed very important was interested about HarlemLIVE and we traded contact informations. Hopefully this benefits us later on. After that, we were just going wild searching for the places, until we FINALLY got tired and it wsa time for us to go back. Another day tomorrow !

Hey HL

Hey HL, today was the first day for most of you guys.. It was nice getting to see you & talk to you about this summer. However, I had to leave early because I have an internship at the Source Magazine. I'm here now & everyone is pretty cool. It's a very lax environment ... I like it here, I got right to work & by the way, one of the girls here, her name is Sky, she's beautiful. Anyway, I can't wait to come in tomorrow. I really want everyone to like me & I plan on getting acquainted with everyone... Great day..

break ups to make-ups

So i recently broke up with my boyfriend and its been pretty rough being we was with each other for 2 years but he cheated and that's no acceptable. But now were trying to work it out and i guess ill see what happens from there.

At HL...

So I'm here at the office, and I'm not going to finish my Puerto Rican story because this week is going to be crazy. So I'm going to schedule the interview with the Puerto Rican Affairs for the first or second week in July and then I'll be assigning someone to the story. This summer is going to be a blast. I already see it . So far this summer, I've been having fun everyday. I just plan on being out & about everyday...

Man on the street: LAA v. BOS, GAME 7

So today at Harlem Live, we did something different. Aisha, Maurice, and I went on an outside activity "Man on the Street." Our topic was about Game 7 of the NBA Finals, Celtics vs. Lakers. It was a bit weird for me since I'm not really a basketball fan but I do go for the Lakers, since Celtics are from Boston and I really hate Boston in any sport. At first, it was very nerve-wrecking. I stopped a few people and they were either on a rush or put their headphones on so it can be easy or them to ignore me. OH MAN, I LOVE REJECTION -_- I dead learn a lot today though. About final cut pro, random interview questions, and even about basketball players that I knew nothing about. It was great, now goodbye :)

Person on the street! ( POS)

So today me and my working buddy amy completed our first story on the celtics vs lakers game that comes on tonight. It was a little challenging for me because I was shy and nervous but i soon became a little comfortable....So HL thats all have a gr8 weekend and watch the video on youtube!!!!

Another Day, another Regents

Today's been a long day, and it's not even over yet. The weather is beautiful, hopefully it doesn't rain. I took my chemistry regents, and it was pretty LONG. I hope I passed it, if not, then whatever, i really don't need it. I can't wait to finish this story, I have a feeling it's going to be a good one.

Today.

Well looks like today its just me and my work buddie Amyyyyyyy =] HL is pretty dead right now lol. So far my day was pretty boring i came into work early though so i can have this video class im not so sure im coming in tomorrow bc of a dentist appointment ( BRACE FACE! ) lol but its worth a nice smile. Brb a little later to post my end of the day post.
