First, I headed the decoration team for the annual Passport to the World event, where the theme was "Celebrations." The turnout for the event was enormous. Kids and parents from all around St. Cloud came over to the human-filled Ballroom on Sunday to experience the different cultures showcased by more than 20 countries and student organizations represented there.
I then designed a display for the International Students Association (ISA) expo tri-fold for a university-wide exhibition - a three hour labor and ISA won the most inclusive project award!
Also on Friday, I volunteered at the 1x1 Art Gala held at the Red Carpet downtown St. Cloud. It was a fundraiser event collecting donations for the National Student Advertising Competition (NSAC) for both St. Cloud State and St. Cloud Tech teams. Participants made creative art or craft from a single 1x1 square foot wooden block, turning them into something unique. It was another night of sophisticated crafts and artsy productions. People who attended the expo also silent auctioned for the art pieces displayed. Together with some students from SCSU and SCTC, I helped set up and tear down the bar for the event. It was an eye-opener seeing many different creativity overflow.
Finally, I felt my room needed some colors to I used the paint chips I collected from Menards last semester and create three paint chip frames for my wall. The quality is rough but I guess the impression is there, blah, whatever.
Well well, that is it for the weekend. Not much of school work yet feeling very sleepy towards the afternoons. I guess mainly it is because the cold strikes and it brings out the hibernating beast in me.
Looking forward to Thanksgiving holiday. Peace out!
