Commissioning ceremony

In my Cross Cultural Communication class we have to dedicate 10 hours of service to experiencing a different culture. For my hours I am interacting with soldiers and listening to their stories, so that i can have a better understanding of the "Army way of life." We have to keep a journal of our experiences, and I thought that i would post one of my journal entries on here.

On Monday, I had the privilege of witnessing a Commissioning Ceremony, where an ROTC Cadet gets commissioned as 2nd Lt. in the United States Army. Here is my journal entry and my civilian account of the ceremony...

Today, September 27, 2010, I attended John Matlick’s commissioning ceremony with my service learning partner CPT Robert Prah.  Since he also received his commission as a 2^nd Lieutenant at Cal U, he always tries to make it at the ceremonies. The first thing done was a color guard, which is where soldiers regardless of rank, carry the American flag, PA state flag and two rifles. I noticed that they all walked in step and moved as one unit, almost flawlessly. They posted the colors and rendered a hand salute to the American flag. During the ceremony COL Ulysses Winn was the guest speaker and read the oath of office for John Matlick.  During this all military service members wore the class A’s and must stand at the position of attention as a sign of respect to the new officer. His parents then pinned his Gold Bars distinguishing him a 2LT. MSG Wilkinson then rendered Matlick his first salute, it is a tradition for the first salute to be by the enlisted man that gave you the most training to be an office. In military culture the Lieutenant gives the first enlisted man a coin exemplifying the knowledge he gave throughout training. LTC Bonomo the Assistant Three Rivers Battalion Commander then gave his remarks on the endeavors that Matlick had completed to achieve his rank. Before the end of the ceremony, the color guard then retrieves the Colors while the Military service members announce the Army Song. “First to fight, for the right, and to build the nations might, and the Army goes rolling along, Proud of all we have done, fighting til the battles won, and the Army goes rolling along, Then its high high hey, the Army’s on its way, count off the cadence loud and strong, For ever we go, you will always know that the Army goes rolling along.” This concludes the ceremony. 

Lady GAGA:)

I love Lady Gaga, yes she is a very odd, but she isn't afraid to express herself and doesn't care what people think about her, which I think is something to look up too. I would never wear any of those crazy outfits it's a little too extreme for me but not caring hat people think is a quality I have been working on.
I found this quote by her today and I though that it was so true, and pretty hilarious:) It is honestly pretty good advice in my opinion...

Scary Situation!!!

On Wednesday I had to take my sister to airport and we left Waynesburg around 2:45. I was a little annoyed with her because it was a last minute trip and I would have to miss an important meeting, but I was the only one who could take her. As we were driving to the airport we heard the emergency alert for an extreme thunderstorm warning. Well where we were the sky was still blue, but where we heading, right infront of the airport, I could see that the sky was basically black. I didn't think much of it though, because I thought that it wouldn't effect me. My sister, however was freaking out because she was afraid that her plane was going to be delayed. As we got closer and closer to the airport, the weather got worse. There was lighting striking down everywhere and it had started to rain. Once we got to the airport I dropped my sister off, and headed home which I thought was in the opposite direction of the storm. On my way home all was quiet until I reached interstate 79, and that when the storm hit me. I swear I felt like I was driving through a hurricane! I literally could not see the white lines in front of me, it was raining so hard, and I was on top of my dashboard trying to see the road. It was so stressful because there was so many cars on the road and no one could see where they were going! I could barely see the brake lights of the cars around me and the wind was blowing so hard, and it was raining so hard that cars were just stopping on the interstate. I was all by myself, and this was my first experience with horrible weather, so my first thought was to pull off to the side of the road and wait for the storm to pass. My only problem was that I had to cross three lines of traffic and I couldn't see any of the cars around me! I just went for it and tried to judge as best I could, but eventually I got to the shoulder and waited. I was literally shaking I was so scared! I though someone was going o hit my car, or that I would be stuck there. I was just a scary and stressful situation. After ten minutes the rain slowed down enough that I could get back on the interstate, but the whole way home people, including me, were driving with their hazards on, and going 10 miles an hour on the interstate! Once I got home, I called my sister and she told me that the airport had lost power and that she was stuck in the train going to her gate, KARMA! Thankfully though her plane wasn't delayed!

So this morning I went in search of inspirational quotes...

Audrey Hepburn is such a classy Lady and I found this quote that I absolutely love!!!

...and it is something to keep in mind today:)

"For Attractive lips, speak words of kindness, 

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people, 

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry, 

For Beautiful hair, let a child run their fingers through it once a day,

For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.

People, more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself and the other for helping others." 

— Audrey Hepburn

Peanut Butter Cookie Disaster

Writing my last blog about wanting to open a bakery, inspired me to try and bake something. As i was watching the Steeler game with my family, I started to crave something sweet. I went into the pantry and started rummaging around my mother's pantry for something that would satisfy my craving, and low and behold i came across a package of peanut butter cookies. The directions seemed easy enough for me to manage, 1 egg, vegetable oil, and water; there's no way i could mess that up, easy enough (or so i thought). I even found hershey kisses to put in the middle of each one, they were going to be so delicious.
So i preheat the oven, grab a bowl, get the ingredients that i need, and start to make my cookies. I threw in the packaged cookies, the egg, and the water only to find that i had no oil. After searching for a good 15 minutes in the kitchen for the oil, i realized that my dad had used the entire bottle for the deep frier. So before he started cooking i ran downstairs and grabbed 3 tablespoons of ridiculously hot oil out of the deep fryer, (probably my first mistake). After i made my dough i got out my cookie sheets and put tablespoon sized balls of the dough, 2 inches apart, just like the directions said, and set my timer for 8 minutes. I waited around in the kitchen for the timer to go off determined not to burn my cookies, but after 8 minutes they still looked raw, so i called in for backup, and asked my mom to come check them.
After she closely examined my cookies she told me that they were still raw because your suppose to flatten peanut butter cookies before you bake them, who knew? Well apparently everyone at my house knew that you were suppose to flatten these cookies except me, but no one said anything while i was making them. So my mom tells me to give them another minute to bake, and that they were still salvageable. One minute later i took out all 3 of my trays, and they were completely raw in the middle, and pitch black on the bottom, I ruined 30 cookies!!! So needless to say my bakery will not be serving peanut butter cookies:( and even  when the recipe comes from a package i somehow mange to mess it up! But on the bright side, my sweet craving was satisfied by the 30 hershey kisses that i had unwrapped for the cookies and ate all by myself!

My Secret Ambition (which is no longer a secret)

So my major is Public Reltions, but secretly want to open my own bakery. I don't know if it's because of all of the bakery shows that I loyally watch on TLC, or just because I love cupcakes so much. I  just think that baking looks like so much fun, and I absolutely love all things sweet, especially if their chocolate and covered in delicious icing! But I have a serious problem, I am a horrible baker. Believe me i have tried to bake but for some reason everything that I put in the oven either comes out burnt, or tasting completely horrible. So far the only success that I have had at baking so far has come from a box that says "just add water." Im working it on it though I actually managed to successfully make brownies yesterday without completely burning the edges, baby steps:) I keep trying baking recipes but so far so bad! I'm going to keep trying though and hopefully one day ill own my cute little bakery:)

Random Questions = Random Answers

So for our multimedia project we had to go out and interview people. Our task was to ask the person one news related questions and one random question, and then to post the most unique or interesting responses. Yes, life is pretty in pink, but ironically i got the most random answers from boys. I had a lot of fun with this project and I think that I got some truly original responses....

My First Blog Post EVER

So to explain a little about my blog I thought that I would start out by showing my inspiration for the title...

"I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles." 
— Audrey Hepburn

I think that everyone has someone or something that they look to for inspiration when they feel like everything is going wrong. It may seem unorthodox to some but I always find myself searching quotes for Audrey Hepburn quotes, so I will be quoting her a lot:)
