Global-Community Awareness Workshop

                   On Friday, October 16, I attended a movie workshop called “My Beautiful Launderettes” that satisfied the Community Awareness workshop. It was the longest and the shortest workshop I attended. It was the longest because I had to wait 4 hours for the workshop. Since I did not have Freshmen Seminar, my day ended at 10:20 AM and the workshop started at 2:50PM. It was also the shortest workshop because we only stayed for about thirty minutes. When it was 2:50PM, people started entering the room. I expected there to be a lot of people since it’s the last global awareness workshop. But instead, only about thirty people showed up.  After about fifteen minutes of waiting, people started wondering why the movie didn’t start yet. A few minutes later, one of the peer mentors went onto the stage and everyone thought the movie was about to start. But instead, she said the teacher that was in charge couldn’t come. Therefore, no one knew how to set up the movie projector. The students started yelling and complaining. After a while, she agreed to sign our books and give us credit because she said we were good and everyone came on time. Basically, I waited about 5 hours just so I can get to stare at a blank screen and get my book signed.
