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.

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?
