Trying to get back into the swing of things..

Or to start to get into the swing of things since the first of the year.

Wow, have I ever been slacking. I honestly feel bad, not so much for myself, but for Thom, Russ and Michael. I know I didn't do very well, but they were still there to help me out. So, thanks guys! And for my classmates; I understand that you wouldn't want me in your group for group-work. I was a slacker.

But! It's a new semester and a new start!

So, as for this week, I learned how to get onto my blogger account. I have a feeling that this will really help me with my.. you know.. blogging, seeing as how I couldn't get onto it (and didn't really care enough to try to get onto it) last semester. Am I computer illiterare, or what?

First day back in Truth in Society... well, the first part I obviously was not there. So, I learned that I have to get a more annoying alarm clock or something. This waking up on time thing.. not going so well.

I did, however make it to Journalism. Man, I knew then that Journalism was going to be a good time this semester. Last semester we focused more on Religious Studies and English and had a few things that related to Journalism. I really enjoyed watching the videos and seeing the different types of propaganda put out during WWII. It shows us how they used advertisement and media to influence peoples` ideas, which is cool because we need to get out ideas about things from something, but the way that WWII propaganda was done was COMPLETELY too far. Ridiculous, to say the least.

I spoke with Thom on Friday and I got to know about his thoughts on the class, but that`s not really for my learning journal now, is it? I learned a lot just from speaking with Thom. He's a pretty wise guy. Now I really have the drive to do well this semester!
