For this week's blog I'm allowed to do a "free-write"; it's been a while since I've done one. I'm beginning to go over some of the material that my group will have to discuss for the research project that starts next week in Freshmen Seminar, and I'm glad Ms. William's decided to go over some of the details in this week's lecture. It seems that I have a lot of group projects due around this time. I never had so much going all at one time last year... it's kind of overwhelming in a way. But, I know this is all just going to help me out in the long run, (even though group projects/oral presentations aren't really my thing).

The one thing I still don't seem to understand the point of doing are these blogs that we have to do each week. Now, I don't mind completing them, however, I believe that the Mbonji sheets are compensation enough for students to prove that they were taking notes/paying attention in that week's seminar. But, no matter. The semester's nearly over and I only have so many blogs to complete. (Or is this the last one I have to do?) Isn't that amazing? Didn't I just step into Dr. Carr's lecture like... a week ago? Wow... time's just blowing by, isn't it? I just hope that all this Homecoming business passes just as quickly. I don't like the prospect of having one huge party that lasts a week at an institution where random parties are the norm... (Did they really through a "We Survived an Earthquake' bash? Really, Howard??)
