Humans of LBCC (Blog #2)


Who am I? How is College?
Abby Johnson. My passions in life is creating joy for others and music. The college life is interesting so far, I didn't think I would have so much work to do right off the bat. It's different than high school, but a good different. Due to the virus, all of my classes are online, which I don't mind as much as not being able to make friends. I think online is actually better than in person. However, I like interacting with people. 
How is my Family Dealing with Quarantine?
My family is handling the situation well. My dad is a nurse and takes care of covid-19 patients, so we have to be very cautious about social distancing and staying in-doors. Luckily no one in my family has been infected. 
What is my major? Do I Like LBCC?
I don't have an official major yet, but I am looking in to journalism. I like writing, I like politics, I like gathering information, and I want to travel the world. I have been at LBCC for almost a week. I like it so far; the professors are nice and the work keeps me busy. 
Why Did I Choose this Picture?
The picture I chose for this is a self portrait (or selfie) of me in my bedroom. It's an important setting to me because it has only been my room for a year. I have spent a lot of time in there over the past year, not only because of quarantine, but also because I am an introverted person. 
What Would I Want to be Famous for?
I think that if I were famous I would want to be famous for being in a band. I would really like to be the bass guitarist and back-up singer. I have always admired bass players, especially since I have a huge admiration for John Deacon, the bassist for the very famous band Queen.
Who is My Hero? Who is My Role Model?
My hero is also my role model. The actor Tim Curry has been a big inspiration to me. He once said, "I still find it quite easy to find my way into a child's imagination. We're all Peter Pan ourselves in some respects. Everybody should keep some grip on childhood, even as a grownup." I think that is something I will never forget.
Would I Wake Up Early to do Homework or Stay Up All Night?
I would more likely stay up all night on homework than save some for the morning because I take quite some time getting ready in the morning. I find it easier to stay awake than wake up early. The amount of time it takes me to get ready for the day would take up the whole time that I would give myself to work on the assignment.

Kids in the Neighborhood (free shot)

Image
  November 6, 2020, the Peterson kids (Joe in green shirt, Sarah jumping Millie in yellow, Jack in white) are playing outside on this chilly afternoon. They are playing outside of their house and enjoying each other's company. They take turns playing with the jump rope and singing some rhymes while doing so. They pulled out their bikes and scooters, going up and down the street. They claim "our mom doesn't like us to go too far, so we just go down to the corner and back." They are willing to let each other use the different bikes and scooters. I asked them when they got their vehicles and they say different holidays such as birthdays and Christmas, which brings up a new conversation about the next month of winter.  Jack Peterson says that he loves his bike but doesn't like to ride it in the cold. He said he will probably stop riding it for a little bit but will get back on once the air gets warmer.

My Hometown: Newport

Image
  This is the Yaquina Bay Lighthouse, a landmark in Newport, Oregon. It is used as a museum now, although tours are closed due to Covid-19. The lighthouse was built in 1871, right after Newport was founded. It is the only lighthouse in Oregon with the living pace still attached. This seagull is relaxing on this cloudy midday, November 13th. With a storm coming, this seagull is preparing for rough living conditions. Since Newport is the coast, big waves and strong winds and rain are dangerous threats to the wildlife here. However, it also means more fish coming closer to the shore and more food for this little guy! In this crazy time, there are tourists coming to look at and take pictures of the huge waves. While in Newport, this family tries to get some views of the whales, however this might be very difficult because water is so rough.

Environmental Portrait

  Lauren Jones, an employee of Dari Mart and student of Linn Benton Community College, shows her favorite task of the night, testing the Icee machine. By running it for a minute or two, she can depict whether or not it needs to be refilled or checked. She is studying sociology at Linn Benton and says she enjoys all of her classes and teachers, and she puts much of her time into studying. Although a part time employee, she makes the most out of her shifts and socializes with coworkers and customers. Her boyfriend (name unknown) is also a student at LBCC and is double rolled in OSU as well. She works towards a future with him and with a career in sociology.
