BLOGGEEED!

there is something interesting about aquinas - that we can step into a classroom and almost know that that day would be nothing like the last.Aquinas this week was intersting - our first FULL week being split up into our specific classrooms. We had a big taste of the play Doubt - what is it, how we say it and how others say it. The best, and most interesting part, was when we had to pull out how someones beliefs would have showed them a different way of seeing a scene in the play. I carefully picked my two scenes and went away. I had quite a few response, many agreeing and some just plain not. Another thing that really, honestly, struck a chord in me is that we will forever be interacting with each other. That there will never be something that I write that people in my class won't have connection to.
Journalism took a big spin - its alot different from the English and Religious Studies that we go through in the morning. Michael Camp has a great way of reaching us - even in the dead of the afternoons when we are all awaiting our beds for naps, or backpacks for homework. On Thursday though, Camp pulled on our heart strings and really showed us the demented view of our society and how we - as a society - have a ranking system of what is more important. A 8 year old child stuck in a building or a 28 year old stuck in a building. Even more disturbing if we simply added details we realized that the media emphasis' what would pull the heartest strings.
This class is on going and interesting - althought sometimes frustrating. I was posting about a 'what a community newspaper should do' and my computer froze when I hit POST, twenty minutes down the drain. I was so upset and beside myself. I find myself doing this with some prompts or that fact that we have so many forums, websites and tasks to keep track of - I guess that is university right.
until next time! b.moore xo
