Feasibilty Reports
Hmmm why is it so complicated to narrow down ideas? I understand the idea of not shutting up the minority and just saying yes lets go with the majority but honestly, we are first year university students. I feel, once again, as I if we have been maybe given too much responsability in this decision making. We don't really know how to make these types of scholarly decisions because we are just 1st years. I just feel lost. Like I know what I would prefer to do but do I know what is best for the class? No. I do not like being like here is the basic information and go with it and make a decision you want to do for the rest of the semester. I am feeling as if it took too long to narrow down ideas in this class as everyone has an entirely different stance and outlook on all the topics. I am glad though that four options were left up as that gives people plenty of choice. I really hope that none of the topics end up being a dead horse being kicked over and over again like pirates in last semester. I want interesting mixed with plenty of information. Also I worry strongly about people being too protective of their topics. Like what you feel is what you feel but dont force it on all these others. Because it is the beginging, I am afraid and worried about the future.

Long time no post
Soooo i guess it is kind of obvious that i haven't posted in a while. So new semester. Wasnt too excited coming back because of personality clashes and still cannot say I am excited about it because I there are already problems. But let's move on from that. I thoroughly enjoyed what we have done this month with the separate classes and I was curious to see how the classes would merge together but I am impressed with how they have. I love how we got to choose something that spoke to us individually out of all we have read so far. And we have read alot of diverse stuff. I for some reason, assumed that not many of us would choose something from the journalism readings not because they weren't interesting but because most of the readings were already events themselves. I did not think that many people would want to go further in those readings because in the past, the religious studies and english topics intrigued the class more. I was pleased though with selections of what was choosen because it opened me up to what we could expand on. Much of it I thought was done but it was proven in class that there were alot of questions unanswered and events in events that could be looked at. It is funny, even in the laughing out loud sense, to see what people saw in different lights from me and from the rest of the class. The questions we ask are so our personalities. Some of the more religious people in the class are even challenging religious texts and it makes me happy not as an athiest but as a student that we can question things that we hold dear. It was interesting to hear what people wanted expanded on or not beause of kicking the dead horse like pirates and I think most people didn't want to expand on their favourite topics as they would be ruined and uninteresting to them now, not because they really did not want to. This week, people defended things I was surprise to see being defended by them because it did not seem to fit their past understandings. People will back up work no matter who they are as a person cause when they see something as important it is interesting to see how it became important to them.
