Midterm Spring 09

I'm kinda late on this but I just finally had the time to sit down and write besides typing and researching for my wonder 15 page essay :( As for the midterm, when I first heard about it, I must admit that I was nervous because I've never performed or spoke in front of a big crowd especially at state. I'm not a shy person but when it comes to performing in front of an audience, i get stage fright and freeeze. Anywho, I was part of the dance crew and I thought we did a great job for the time spent practicing. I would say we had about 10-15 hours to practice two dance routines and it was the day before the performance. I actually learned the whole dance routine an hour and a half before the actual performance. Overall, I think that everyone did a wonderful job and that everyone was participating. Spoken words did a great job and actually showed emotions while speaking about how they felt. As for the guys that did the skit, I thought that it really caught everyone's attention in the quad. The dance group was the last to perform and most of us were nervous but at the same time excited. Great Job ETHS 210 Spring 09. Everyone did a get job.

My friend was watching the performance and while we were chanting, he went inside the market to buy a bottle of water while the cashier ran outside and looked at what we were doing, he came back inside to ring up the customer and she asked " what's going on out there"? and the cashier replied "oh nothing, just some asian pride stuff", my friend was angry and wanted to say something to him but he didn't. My friend thought that he was being racist and it was not called for and what a surprise to him, he was a caucasian guy. Not to be racist and all, but my friend and I feel that a lot of caucasian people do not like minorities and I know many of you agree with me and I don't know why people are like that and why others have to judge one another because of the color of their skin. We are all human beings, why can't we just all get along?
