The Cup song

So I wasn't in class on Wednesday, but I have something I really wanted to blog about. There was a new movie that came out a few months ago called Pitch Perfect. I love singing, and I thought the movie was hilarious. There is a part in the movie that so many people are trying to learn. Its a scene where the main girl is auditioning for an ocapella group and she tries out with the song, You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm gone. She grabs a cup and does a beat and sings to the beat. Now so many people on youtube are trying to do this, me included. It reminded me of the string game. I watched videos over and over to try to learn how to do the "cup song". It was really hard, and I still don't have the complete just of it. But I am getting close. I have been practicing for the past few days whenever I have a few minutes I grab a cup and try it. I can get the beat of the cup down but I can't sing and do the beat at the same time. I try to do the beat to other songs, but I just can't do it. I mess up over and over, but practice makes perfect like they always say. Here is a link to Anna Kendrick singing and doing the "cup song"

MY day book

In class on Monday we got to decorate our day books. I thought about why we did this and realized, "Inquiry". Inquiry is one of the biggest things we learn about in English 1102. The definition of inquiry is a seeking or request for truth, information, or knowledge. It could also mean an investigation. While we were decorating our books we all interacted and asked each other questions. We asked each other to borrow scissors, or tape, and also asked how to do something if we didn't know how. 
     On my day book, I decided to put pictures of my sorority because it is a huge part of my life. I have made so many close friendships because of my sorority. I also put a picture of a pit bull, because I own a pit bull, and he is the love of my life. He is basically my child, and I get offended when people speak bad about them. He is the sweetest, most well tempered dog I have ever met. I put a turtle just to show another animal, because I love animals. This project was so much fun. Now people get to learn a little bit about me just by looking at my day book. I thought it was a good idea to put the clear tape over the pictures. At first I wasn't sure how to do it, but I asked the girl next to me, and she helped me. I couldn't make the tape smooth over the pictures. It kept getting bubbles in it. But I ended up figuring it out, and I think it looks great. I love when Lacy gives us projects like this, we learn things we didn't even realize we were learning.
