Well..

I hope that EVERYONE had a great Thanksgiving and you ate organics so you didnt have yto spend the night with a trash can lol but I spent most of my time on the road driving to see family out of town all alone :( anyway, tomorrow I am going to call the farmers markets in St Pete where I am and in Gainesville and some surrounding areas to see if they will be available for an interview for the project. I couldnt make it to the Union St market on wednesday because I had to come home and well I already told you all that story lol but ANYWAY I already made the appointment for Monday @ 10 a.m. in the library's study room I hope to see all you there AND like Jenny said we MUST get things DONE time is running short and we are TOOOO fantastic to fail/look like fools when we perform our masterpiece :) I know that this will go well and I think everyone would enjoy it! See you guys monday....

Unexpected

Hey i know i said i was going to be able to make the farmer's market today, but something came up and i had to go back home to merritt island this morning. I know this is alot to ask, but if someone can ask a vender my question, Do you thing that organic food is worth the price? If nobody can, I understand and will figure something out. Thank you and sorry about this. Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

So Little Time...

The title is so true "So little time" (haha and no I’m not talking about the Mary Kate and Ashley TV series that ran for like two years). I feel like everything is caving in on me and every direction I turn there's a wall, and I can't find the light anywhere! The pressure of the presentation, the finials, and papers, the tests...and...! These are all wrapping up the end of November... sigh. I really hope I can get everything done on time when it is due. And I hope our presentation is entertaining to Kate and the class. Personally I think it is a pretty good idea; it's cute and simple. Well I need to end on a Pep talk Time..."Ok I can do this! I'm ready, and I can find the way out of this cave. I will try my best to chisel my way out of it. It maybe slow but at least it will be my BEST!" :)

I couldn't help it when I found the second picture I just have to post it. I thought it was really magnificent and wanted to share its beauty with, Fantastic 5, even though I feel like the fist...

Check out this list

Here is a webiste that I came across. It is a link to all the Farmer's markets in town. Sorry but Wednesday is just not going to work for me! If you guys have to do the project without me that day that will be fine by me. I am positive that I can come up with a seperate presentation just for myself.

Around the World in...Research!

Searching frantically trying find the right cite going from one site to the next... just to find the right source to cite from. WOW! The treasure hunt was kind of intense, but exciting all in all...especially as it narrowed to the end; for even a stranger could feel our heart’s pumping and eyes popping out at the bright screen before us, along with the adrenaline rush as we clicked with anticipation! O.K so it wasn't all that intense...I had to be a little facetious there, but you get the idea.

One thing I’m really happy about is the fact that back in the 70’s or later. We all would have most likely had to do our research from books; looking at book after book. How tiring that would be? Thank goodness for the World Wide Web! I wonder how much longer it would have taken us to research that way? But maybe the whole assignment in general would have been easier then again perhaps not.

So I think I have my subtopic

So far I think that I am going to take the position of organic foods being good and healthy for comsumers although they are expensive. I am eager to hear what you guys come up with!!

Brittany

uuuuugggghhhhh

Ok so I have been absent because I have been sick :( and I am not happy because I am a tad bit lost with whats going on! I see that I missed the fire alarm lol what a shame that is :). So, I am going to print out the article that Jenny sent and take notes. I got that part. Next, have we come up with a subtopic yet? I saw that posted on C/C for next week. I also saw that we dont have a regular meeting time for class next week so are we going to decide on where we want to meet as a group so that we can submit the assignmnet that goes with it? Or have you guys already come up with this? I apologize for rambling on but I dont want this assignment to creep up on me, its worth too much :) Oh yea, has anyone decided on a conference time with Kate? Or are we going to do that tomorrow? I think thats it for now....thanks for helping me out guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sound the Alarm

Wow, so today was interesting...the fire alarm when off during English class. I wonder if there was a fire or if someone hit the alarm, perhaps a student had a test to take and didn’t want to take it today? Anyways, we all sitting there contemplating on what the sub was lecturing. When this loud eerie noise echoed from the dark hall ways of our class room, the sub stood up and strained to glance out the crack in the window. "Are there any people outside?" He asked. John replies, "Yes, looks like everyone is walking out." The sub says, "Guess we better leave too." As we all head for the door, the sirens were blaring and the lights from the alarms were moving around like disco balls hanging to the ceiling. As I headed for the outside doors, I passed many other blasting sirens, and just as I stepped out the door I was hit by an awful headache.

Krishna Organic Food

Its gonna be very cool to research and write a paper on organic food versus non-organic, since we had to do an extra credit paper on the film Food Inc. It seems like this topic is one of peoples major concerns next to global warming. I wasn't very into the whole organic trend until i started trying food from the Krishna people over by the bookstore. They grow their own vegetables and prepare their meals freshly every day, not only does it taste really good but it is very healthy for you. I recomend for those who haven't tried it, to go one of these days and give it a shot.


Alejandro Perez

Well I had been to the library research session before but each time that I go....I find out NEW information! I really do like taking the quiz with the button device :) I think that its cool and it surprises me how technology has improved a whole lot even from the time that I have been around to witness. I have actually used the ask a librarian service before and I love it I always get Diana Matthews who fortunately works at sfc (because like our presenter said you dont always get a sfc person but I DO:) Diana (and many others who work at the library) is sssssoooo helpful on line and in person. I LLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVEEEEEEEEEEE SFC and I sale our school to any and everyone I dont think that NO SCHOOL IS BETTER. Now to the topic :). I think that Organic food is a good topic and I am looking forward to doing the research, paper and the visual/audio aspect. Hopefully it will not be that bad afterall. See you guys in class :)

Organic Food Topic

I'm gald we picked the Organic food topic, this really interested me ever ssince i saw Food Inc. I think we will ba able to get plenty of information on this topic. The idea that everyone picks different point to come from is better because i don't think we can all agree or disagree on one thing. I'm still not sure what we should do between a radio show, a video, or a web site, I'm also glad we took a trip to the library too, I've been a couple times just to do homework, but never knew there were so many different resources, and people willing to help you out in what ever it may be. The library website in particular was very interesting to me, because it can help you find anything you are looking for in the matter of seconds just by typing in a couple of key words.

Library Session

The library class in how to research this class is always a huge help...even though I have been to that session before it is always really helpful because you forget how knowable their information really is. For our topic organic food is plentiful with arguments so that you can pick almost any food idea and run with it. On the Libraries research data base there are tons of information on organic food; I was researching some while the session was going on.



However, I do feel this paper is going to be the most complex paper of all of the papers we have written. To bad... wish English was getting easier while everything else is getting harder.

What do you think, Fantastic Five, about the video and the radio thing that Kate was talking about? Personally, I think a video would be easier well, maybe not. All of us will have to talk about that.

Alrite guys.....

I know that we discussed that we will be thinking of a topic but like I commented on Jenny's post I am finding it hard to think of a topic that all of us will be able to agree on and get substantial research and opinions for a 1200 word essay. I think that it would be more fun and quite challenging if we could all just submit one paper instead of five different ones. But since thats not the assignment I was wondering if anyone has thought of anything good for a topic?
