Crossed My Mind

Hard to believe that it is end of term already. It is time to relax and enjoy your holidays if you have them or time to work your butt off with your Christmas internships. Whatever you’re doing on your holidays have some fun before the big shake up where you have to leave your friends and prepare for the magazine project. Have fun at the After School Special! ...

Coronation Street is the world’s longest running soap opera and a great one at that. If I can help it, at 6:30 I am watching Corrie. When I can’t catch it during the week CBC plays the weeks worth on Sunday morning. I have been a Corrie fan for ten years and what I love are the characters are just ordinary people who do not wake up in the morning with perfect hair and makeup like the men and women on American ...

Some of the best gifts are the small ones in your stocking.Here are some ideas for stocking stuffers (a.k.a. what to put in my stocking). 1) Silly Putty. Why wouldn’t I want Silly Putty?2) Chocolates are always a safe bet. I won’t be turning down chocolate. No way, Jose. 3) Gift cards. A student like myself sure could use a Tims card for those early Monday and Tuesday morning 8 a.m. classes. 4) Lip balm. Stocking ...

I am constantly being blown away by how talented Ryan Gosling is. I wish I could see his new movie filmed alongside Michelle Williams, Blue Valentine, right now. Blue Valentine is about a married couple, Dean and Cindy, and their relationship over a few years. I need to see it. Check out the trailer.  Ryan Gosling isn't just actor, but also a singer. Gosling formed a band with his friend ...

I would not recommend breaking your ankle in CreComm. Just don’t do it, it isn’t wise. A broken ankle in CreComm means that I have to get up earlier in the mornings just so I will be able to catch my bus (if I miss the first one, I can forget about the transfer). It means that when I want to leave my apartment I have to really want to leave. I have to plan if the buses are easy access, how much walking there will ...

It would be fair to say that the majority of people don’t know how their bodies work, what’s going on inside them, or how complex they actually are. For the people that are curious about their body and want an intimate look at our human anatomy, they can check out BODIES… The Exhibition at the MTS Centre Exhibition Hall located at 311 Portage Avenue across from the MTS Centre. Making its Winnipeg debut on September ...

No last words because I forgot them.  Live Hit Derby is something that all CreComm students have to do. It is when you have 10 minutes to look over a story that is brand new to you, from there you are put in front of a camera where you have one chance and one chance only to deliver your story. It is harder than it sounds.  I crutched up and told my story on Canadian charities.  I didn’t do as well as I had hoped and stumbled a few of my words to say the least. What crossed my mind at live hit derby: 1) A charities story? I’ve got this in the bag.2) What! Three minutes until I am on? I don’t got this at all.3) How can my mind be blank? Where is that piece of paper? 4) ...
