I
will be going down to Syracuse this weekend to have another advisor visit for
my study because I have noticed that I have gone off to a tangent from my
initial study and need some guidance. Once again, I reminded myself that this
study needs to be something that is visible and that can be studied through observations
in the landscape. Along with my Off Campus Program advisor visit, I plan on
meeting with my academic advisor to discuss about the follow up courses I will
be taking the spring of 2013 right after my Off Campus Program prior to graduation: May of 2013. So far, this Off Campus Program/Study has been quite stressful in
terms of trying to figure out what and how to execute a procedure in your
methods in order for you to gather inventory and at the same time analyze what you've obtain so that the study question can be answered. After a careful
reflection of the nine weeks here in the city of Buffalo, I can honestly state
that developing a self-timesheet to complete your task at hand while juggling
ten other things is a skill I've obtained from this Off Campus Program.
The
city of Buffalo (Queen City) is similar to the city of Syracuse (Salt City) in
many ways. Both the cities are in college campus environments with history in
manufacturing of exporting goods. Both have common segregated communities of
poverty and low income living, but at the same time have busy downtown/city halls that consist of many courts, bars, restaurants, and skyscrapers.
But the question to ask is: Why is the
city of Buffalo not thriving like Syracuse, NY?
On
another note, my parents called today informing me that there will be a
hurricane in the city of New York this coming week. I pray everybody will be
safe and sound prepped with their families. I have not heard much regarding
this hurricane in the city of Buffalo, NY besides some rainfall and winds, but
let’s all be safe and prepared.
