On Wednesday the 24th, I arrived to LAU social class, almost running, thinking I was late, only to find out that our instructor was! And we had a pleasant surprise already waiting for us: @mich1mich! (That’s her twitter name; her actual name is Micheline).
We had a brief, warm chat with her before the class started, and she was able to engage us right even before her prepared lecture. She is indeed a sweet person, and she confessed that she was also shy.

We also found out that in the previous LAU Social class, she was the “star student”, because she followed the class regularly and up close, of course with the help of twitter and the students’ blogs and works. Our instructor also confessed that the best student last semester at least skipped the class once. However, @mich1mich did not skip following the class at least once!! Also, she was announced blogger of the week!
We got to find out alot about her, and she began telling us about her journey (specifically on the professional level), and how she got introduced to social media, twitter, and blogging. She also told us the story behind her blog, Mich Cafe: Micheline loves saying hello on twitter, and she also invites people to have a drink of coffee or tea. Therefore, she was encouraged to start up a blog and name it Mich Cafe! (an interesting story).

Her visit was a cheerful and inspiring one, reminding us once again that there is a will and a way if you want something or change. Throughout the conversation, I realized once more how social media can help us, even in the little things that we do daily. It was a little reminder of how I shouldn’t neglect my blog because I’m busy…on the contrary, I should use it in times when I’m especially busy (since I’ll be having more to say!).
It was great having her in class, and we really want to thank her for her time, especially now that she is in Lebanon for her vacation!
