Wohooo...the topic for cognitive today is reflections and guess what? The facilitator told us to reflect by playing a game ( im gonna play need for speed;) Of course, we have to the basics for the first meeting which is to present our ideas. However, in 3rd meeting we are supposed to reflect on the game which we have played. Cool huh? Cant wait to get back on track on NFS!lol

Movie marathon

Pursuit of happyness
Stomp the yard
It was a 'movie-marathon' weekend and i watched 2 great movies, 'Stomp the yard', ' Pursuit of happyness' and 'Saw I & II (thanks to Vaishna and Ben:P) The movies were fantastic with a great storyline and plot. However, i must say i learnt a couple of valuable lessons (excluding Saw of coz=D).
Let me give you a brief outline of the movies..

'.....Stomp the Yard centers around DJ Williams, a college student at a fictional historically Black university who pledges to join a fictional Greek-letter fraternity. The film's central conflict involves DJ's fraternity competing in various stepping competitions against a rival fraternity from the same school.

The movie ended with the a quote which seemed to fit the pieces of the storyline perfectly.
'Intelligence plus character-that is the goal of true education.' - Dr. Martin Luther King.Jr
I understood this very well. Many view the term 'Education' differently. We all have different perceptions on learning. LOL. I realised this was the RJ question for cognitive process for problem 12:P Anyway, i do not believe that getting all As will make you successful in the future. It might, but its not definite. Your mindset, character and how you get hold of opportunities are just as important too. Oh yeah on the lighter note, Chris Brown and Ne-yo are in this movie too, so if you are a fan of them, you might want to check this out:)
The pursuit of happyness was another great inspirational movie. Here is the outline of the movie:
...'While it is based on the true story of Christopher Gardner, a family man struggling to make ends meet, the film takes some liberties with Gardner's actual story. Starring Will Smith as Chris Gardner and Smith's real-life son Jaden Christopher Syre Smith as Gardner's son Christopher, The Pursuit of Happyness follows Gardner's struggles to break into the stock brokerage business as an intern, despite a rocky financial situation.'

Okay, my team showed a clip from this movie on the job interview scene. I wanted to watch the entire movie because Will Smith is one of my fav actor ;) It was really an inspirational movie but i feel that it was stressing on the importance of interpersonal skills too.
Hmm...Saw its not an inspirational movie at all but it is sure gruesome. If you happen to watch Scary Movie 4 and remember the scene where a man is cutting his feet and a freaky-looking dummy riding on a bicycle...well it was taken from Saw. Okay, this movie is damn good okay? so catch it if you can. i still have not seen Saw III. However, i reckon that its gonna be more horrifying and gruesome than the first two. I saw the first 10 mins of it thought, the first murder was already very bloody and grisly. I didnt continue watching coz i was having fever. I will catch it on Wednesday or smth coz there is no school=)
Okay, i will end here coz i have to read the notes for cognitive UT tom and im starving too.LOL
