CSPA Conference Day 1.5

Right now we're in the John Jay Dining Hall leeching internet from the college. I finally got a chance to post about my trip. Let's see how this goes 'kay? I'm just gonna copy and paste the stuff I typed into Word last night.

COPY AND PASTED FROM WORD:

NOTE: I can finally blog about my trip to New York! We don’t have Wi-Fi access at the hotel, but we do have it at the college! Heh, awesome no? Right now I’m typing into Word so when I can, I’m going to copy and paste this into multiple posts. I hate having an ultra long post so I won’t have one of those.

Today is March 18th. We started to attend the CSPA conference today. To sum it up, the day consists of 4 sessions that are 45 minutes each. Between the 2nd and the 3rd we have an hour and a half lunch break. It’s fun because I feel like a college student walking around.

Sorry to say that my camera was broken so I WILL NOT be posting any pictures of the campus or other stuff… Unless I decide to steal pictures from the group members that did bring a camera! Bwahahahaha.

Okay, moving on. The most interesting sessions of the day were the layout design ones. It really got me thinking about how we would do it because our paper is only in Black and White. So this means that we have to play around with the greyscale to get the right tones and stuff. I also learned quite a lot from the design sessions. As for the last two, one of them was chill and the other was almost a complete bore! I almost fell asleep twice today because I only had 4 hours or so of sleep. Seriously people…

After the conference concluded for the day ( for us anyway..) We walked back to the hotel to dry off and relax a bit. Around 6:30 ET, we set out for Edgar’s CafĂ© for dinner. I had the most awesome, yet most expensive, sandwich I’ve ever eaten!!! I’m almost a pro at Italian food and have developed my own taste for it. After that, we walked back to the hotel and got settled back in. Tomorrow it seems that we’re going to the Good Morning America filming or whatever. We get to be on T.V.! But… we have to wake up at like 4:00 to get ready and have to leave the hotel around 5:15 or something. Such a tight ship huh? But seriously though, this trip is shaping up to be REALLY fun.

Well… More to blog about tomorrow, till then.
