While I didn't do much blogging thise semester, I did find it pretty interesting. The topics were engaging and compelling. I way prefered blogging than doing actual written work for class. Doing our assignments via blog made it more casual, and therefore made it easiar and more comfortable to express my ideas/views.
Written assignments would have denied me access to my fellow classmates' ideas, also. It seems like others were also able to feel more comfortable speaking their minds, than one would in class. I know I probably wouldn't have said as much. I can be pretty quiet, also.
I definitely enjoyed the blogging experience, while I really doubt I'll keep it up on my free time, it's definitely been a fun experience. Later everyone.
Thankyou for chewing!

HELLO ALL!
Yes, I know, I've been a bit void in the blogging dept, but hey better late than never. And considering this piece is worth twice the credit, how could I let it pass? So...3 most thoughtless, useless gifts...here we go.
NUMBER 3: Border Collie
This lovely piece of crap looks and feels like a real dog...and sleeps like one, too. Yeah, that's all it does, it lays on the floor imitating a sleeping dog including the breathing. It doesn't do anything except lay there and sleep...and uses 2 D batteries in the process. It will breathe for 2-3 months before a replacement is needed (1 month before I use it as a rag). What child can go without a toy that lays there n breathes!
NUMBER 2: Elmo Live
Here it is people, another elmo toy that kids can go crazy over for about a week. He dances, sings, tells stories, and "Children can also make the magic happen with a tickle or a squeeze of Elmo's foot, tummy, back or nose". I can't wait for Burlesque show Elmo... OH, and it uses 6 AA batteries.
NUMBER 1: Hasbro Kota the Triceratops
And here's my number one pick. This one is great. When touching its sensory spot it moves its head, tail and horns. And with a touch of a button it plays music...and uses 6 D Batteries. Seriously, how long could the fun factor last? Sure it's fun when the kid is punished in his room and dad comes home drunk, but beyond that? I see a green coat rack.
Well those are my picks. Thanx for chewing!

Research Topic (6)
For my research paper I will be discussing Environmental Racism in Louisiana. I will specifically be writing on an 80 mile stretch of land that runs from a town called Boutan Rogue to New Orleans. This specific area is known for having a lot of factories/plants/oil rigs being built;especially around povershed minority neighborhoods.
The people of these neighborhoods have been subjected to a lower quality of life due to the many cancers that are caused by the toxins released from the factories, and much of the land has been destroyed;including much of the wildlife that lived there.
