RING...RING...RING...

Diana had Nikki and I calling who we thought were Community Leaders to come join our focus group. It was kind of nerve racking to have to call people and invite them to something they probably had no idea what it was about and hope they would show up. It got pretty easy once we fgured out we were calling our own Aunties, (I even called my mom.) So far everyone has pretty much given us a "YES" answer so it wasn't to bad. Now back to TRANSRIPTIONS!!! Ohhhh Joyyy...

Not to Good...

WHERE TO START!!! I totally ruined this day with Diana. I was supposed to be at GCN at 10 and I didn't get there till 11! =0!!! I didn't have a ride into Long Beach so I had to take the bus and train all the way in. I was SOOO late! And I knew Diana had left because no one was there to open the doors. This was definitely a one time thing! I'm never going to bus it in Monday morning. I rather bus it in Sunday night than to be late again. I don't want to waste anymore of her time. LIFE LESSON 1,000,000,000 NEVER BE LATE TO WORK!!!! (UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES)

CARSON COMMUNITY CENTER!

Today we went to watch the NHPI Community to talk to the Mayor of Carson and to some Commissioners about the needs of the NHPI. It was really cool to see presentations of other organizations who are trying to help the PI Commnity. Also, it was amazing to see how the ENTIRE PI Community is involved and how everyone is helping everyone else. OCAPICA introduced the Pipeline interns and everyone was so proud of us and what we're doing for our Community. Hopefully the Commissioners can help out all the organizations that presented.

Today I finally started my transcriptions with the interview between Uncle Joey and Diana. She told me it was going to take me at least 10 hours to finish a 1 hour interview! =[ So today was the first step in this life long process. I get to hear their beautiful voices!

Most Tiring day!!!

I finally finished my research training! There were only about 40 MODULES!!!! But that's okay because I got it all done today and I didn't think I was going to finish it all today. =] So PROPS TO ME!!! Hopefully now I'll be able to move on with what Diana wants me to day with the transcribing of the interviews. YAY! And now I'll be able to go to the workshops on Friday's thanks to Auntie Jeany!!!

DAY 1 of Internship

So today I finally was able to start working with Diana. She's so nice! :D Nikki and I started working on our Human Subjects training, and wow it'sn so LONG! But it could have been worse. I'm pretty excited to be working with Nikki and Diana. I'm sure it's going to be a lot of fun (with a lot of work.)I look forward to working with both of them! =]
