Last entry..... of the semester!
I can't believe the semester is already over. It seems like just last week we were sitting in class and introducing ourselves to each other. When I first heard that we had to blog, I thought to myself, "Oh great, something else to do." But I'm suprised that my attitude about it has changed completely. I can't guarentee that I will continue to blog after this semester. But if I do come across some crazy news article, then I will more than likely post it on here. That is if anyone will still be reading this.
This whole new learning style has taught me things I would never really pay attention to without it. For example: observations. At the beginning of the semester I had no idea what I was supposed to be looking for. Now, I notice things right away and have the urge to run to a computer and type it up in my observations. Thursday I observed two different injustices that made me so angry I was practically punching it into the computer wondering why people act like this.
Between SW 327 & 325 I really got to here alot of y'all stories. I have to say, I do not consider myself a crier at all, but after this semester, that might be changing a little. =P The Ted Talks, documentaries, and some of y'all stories have really touched me and I know I will not forget them or y'all. So all those 'catharsis' times we had kinda reminded me of this songs. (One of my favorite artists of all time, so yeah, I might be a little biased.) And if you're one of those people who absolutely hate country music, FYI it's country, so listen to it or don't. It's kinda a tear jerker the first time around. I couldn't find the actual music video so lyrics will have to do.
Sooo....
Thanks to professor G for your different teaching methods which opened my eyes to things I have never thought about or noticed. Thanks to all my classmates for sharing your thoughts on topics and sharing your personal stories with the culture boxes. See you all in a couple of months!!!
Oh, and P.S.: the food y'all brought on Wednesday was absolutley amazingly delicious!!!!
HAVE A GREAT SUMMER EVERYONE!!!

Words of Wisdom from a 14 year old
http://thelook.today.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/05/02/11501927-14-year-old-girl-leads-protest-against-seventeen-demands-unaltered-photos?lite
A 14 year old girl is standing up against Seventeen Magazine demanding to see "regular girls that look like me in a magazine that's supposed to be for me."
She already has 25,00 supporters and will be protesting outside of Seventeen Headquarters in NY.
I think it is amazing that someone this young can stand up against the crowd.
If you support this cause, I encourage you to sign the online petition, link below.
