WEEK 8 BOC : Progress in getting a lawyer

For my final project I have made a game plan and it is in action. In the progress of getting a lawyer to answer my 10 questions. I am in the fashion industry I researching 25 lawyers that deal with intellectual property. After I get my list done I will start calling the most interesting lawyers with my questions ready because they might want to answer them on my phone call. I would rather make an appointment with them and go see them. Maybe even use them as an opportunity to make some contacts. I am a very sociable person so this a great I get to learn more about the industry I am going in and meeting a lawyer that deals with the law part protecting a person's creativity. This week I started making calls to a few lawyers not many returned my calls but I am not giving up on getting a lawyer to answer my calls and sit down with me and have a little talk and answer my 10 questions about fashion. I have my 6 out of my 10 questions down. To me it is a little difficult to come up with questions about my major just because there is so much to ask I just need to put it in the right words which is difficult for me to express myself in such way. I finished my permission sample letters so now I know how to do a real letter to use. It was way easier than I thought it would be. The next step is to meet with my lawyer sometime this week I am so excited to move on to the next step. This was easier than I thought it would be. I can not wait to see the final results that I get when I am all done.

WEEK4 BOC DEATH RACE JEOPARDY

Today in class we played jeopardy throughout the class we played about 4 games switching teams, having different teammates. The game was very intense, even though I was having so much fun working with everyone I did learn many more vocabulary words through the different questions in the game. Each time a team won we would get a sticky note as points! At first we started out with 2 teams of 6 people. After a few games it came down to 4 teams of 3! I've noticed that everyone was smiling and having fun while learning. I have played jeopardy before in school but never like this! I enjoyed making my own game too coming up with clever questions for the vocabulary words to trick my classmates. Reading through my book also made me learn more! At the end of the game we used the 4 teams 3 people in each team all of us put down as many sticky notes as we earned, we did not know why we were doing this! When the game started all of us had to write something down on the board if not we actually got deducted that money! Every team my team mates and I did not know an answer we would just guess it worked every time! This was called the death race. We risked all of our money for the final jeopardy question we were playing confidentially but we still lost and only got 4 extra points on our exam! The team that won got over 25 extra points on their exam! It was so not fair to me! Some might not even study as much as I will! I did learn a lot through jeopardy I hope to do it again soon, even if it’s not in this class!

WEEK 1 BOC VOICE

Hello welcome to my blog! I'm Andrea I am a Fashion Major at the Art Institute of Las Vegas, Nevada. I was born in Guatemala I came here when I was 8 years old. I'm bilingual Spanish is my first language English is my second. In my world I only think, speak and vision positive things. I am very charismatic, industrious person. Many say I am an impulse person when it comes to all my decisions, but I only see it as a gift. I am introverted at times, talkative it just depends what personality I'm feeling that day. My family and friends are my number 1 fans, as I am their number 1 fan. I must say I only surround myself with people who are going places. I may be young but I have a million and 1 things going on in my life. When it comes to my work ethic, I am professional; punctual I like my work to be noticed in a positive way. I currently work at a Jewelry Store inside Las Vegas McCarran Airport. I am in the process of getting licensed as a financial adviser. I never have any free time if I'm not at work or school I am modeling for a music video, promotions, trade-shows. I am also a spokes model for a company body balance, I also design our uniforms for every event we do whether it’s here in town or for Hollywood! The reason why I decided to go to school was because I was tired of being a normal person with a basic job, working for a person that was taking my time away not paying me enough money when I could be doing greater things for myself. I do not like working a job because it always takes me away from modeling, family events, someone telling me what to do how to do it what goal to reach for the business! I did not think twice about signing up to school I knew Fashion design & retail management was perfect for me! It goes along with my personality, with my favorite things to do, my part time modeling events! I know in school they always teach us to go to college then find a good job pretty much working for someone else. Then I thought well the longer I think about my future the shorter it will be. You see I see the bigger picture I want to make an impact, I want to be able to help the helpless with my success change people's life inspire them to step out the system that has been going around for many years. I been around sewing machines all my life, I love to sew and put new things together. In the near future I plan to own my very own boutique with my own designs, a personal fashion designer sewing personal pieces. I will make a name for myself. My target market is young mature successful entrepreneur ladies who like to dress to impress, turn head when they walk by. I do have high hopes & many unbelievable dreams, but our minds can be trained to do anything, nothing's impossible, everything is possible!
