Hey it’s Jen!

Awhile ago i mentioned Zombie Prom. This event took place a few weekends ago here at Purchase. It was really great. My boyfriend, his roomie and I all went to the Salvation Army in Portchester the day before, and of course ran into many other Purchase students looking for a potential zombie outfit. I didn’t end up getting anything, instead i cut up some old cloths I had in my room. While in Portchester we also stopped at the Stop and Shop to buy all the ingredients to make fake blood.
I got ready with my friends in their apartment in the New and then went to the OLD to another apartment to get ready with even more people. It is surprisingly fun putting on tons of makeup to make you look like a zombie. After we were ready we went to the Student Center (Stood). There was a freak show going on there. After that there were tons of awesome bands. The night ended with Skeleton Breath and all the zombie students rocking out.
Then this weekend was Purchase Prom, which was girl’s night for me. This year the theme was classy or trashy, so there was a mix of super classy outfits and super trashy ones. My friend Anna who goes to Mt. St. Mary’s upstate came down for the event and we got ready in my room together along with my friends Tori and Melyssah. I love getting gall dolled up. We all went as classy girls, although it was tempting to make a super trashy outfit. The dinner and jazz band were on form 8-10 and then 10-12 was a DJ. This event was in the upper lobby of the Performing Arts Center so it was super nice. We all had SO much fun dancing, there were a lot more people there this year then there were last year.

I am SO EXCITED!

Hey everyone, it’s Jen,

So in my last post I wrote about how I needed to create my Advanced Standing project for New Media. Since then I have finished my project and have passed! Here is the link to my website if you want to check out what an advanced standing portfolio looks like: http://newmedia.purchase.edu/~jurbanow/portfolio/Home%20Page.html I’m super excited that I passed so now I can stay in the major I love so much.

So it is springtime at Purchase! This is my favorite time of year. Yesterday the quad was filled with people on laying on blankets, students throwing Frisbees, playing soccer and a variety of other sports. There was music playing and students reading and socializing; it was awesome to see everyone so happy to be soaking up the sun. Unfortunately for me I didn’t get to lounge around since I had a video to edit, but there will be many other lovely spring days.

Tonight I have my on-campus Internship at PTV (Purchase Television) to go to. As a live tech intern I earn two upper level credits to tech two shows a week and go to the weekly meeting (about 5 hours a week). After our weekly meeting, I tech the live show “Last Call with Dennis OBrien”. I also tech the new hit show “Lets Talk About Sex” which is put on by the Alternative Clinic ever other Wednesday at 7pm. This show has gotten tons of positive feedback. The topics they have discussed so far are ‘everything they should have taught you in health class’, ‘DIY sex toys’ and ‘the truth about STIs’.  I love this internship, the people are so great to work with and it is lots of fun teching the crazy live shows or even the more serious ones PTV hosts. I think that next semester I will intern with PTV, but work more on making adds and using Final Cut Pro than teching live shows, simply because I want to learn as much as possible.

Before I go to my internship, I am going to be helping my friend Temi work on our PTV add for an RA event the FYE RAs are putting on called Quad Wars. It’s like a field day event in the quad, with competitions, events, music, etc. It should be really fun. Since Temi and I are on the advertising committee, we need to make an commercial for it that will be aired on PTV.

Finally, I am looking forward to Zombie Prom which is Friday night. I plant to go to my friend’s apartment with lots of my other friends so we can get dressed up in our zombie garb together. I am SO EXCITED!!! This event is held at the Stood, since there is live music.
