Blogging Around

Maura blogged about getting organized. She explained how she always lost clothes due to a "monster/black hole" in her dresser and what she did to kill that monster and get her dresser drawers in a more organized manner.

Maura, I liked how you used a clothes-eating monster as an excuse for losing your clothes.. haha just kidding! Losing clothes is nothing new to me either, so I'm pretty sure there is also a monster/black hole in my closet. Whenever I reorganize my closet I always make piles for clothes I want to keep and those I want to donate as well. Feeling guilty about giving away certain items of clothing always keep me from finishing my task right away, but in the end, I always think that someone out there probably needs this sweater or this pair of jeans more than I do. I am such a neat freak all the time so I get the piles of clothes into nicely folded stacks in no time like you did! After accomplishing something like the task you described, I feel much more relaxed and I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders just like you said you felt. Overall, great blog entry because I was able to relate to everything you explained!

Justine thought that the best of the week of November first was the video of the starlings. She talked about the process her group went through to come up with a myth and a scientific reason as to why and how the starlings fly around the lake the way they do.

Justine, I agree that each week is very different in humanities. I thought that the most interesting idea that week was also the video about the starlings. It was so cool to watch them fly over the lake like that and without colliding. My group got their creative juices flowing and we found that the only thing hard about the assignment was picking ONE of the endless amounts of myths we made up. I like how you brought up that this activity helped us see like the people back then who actually believed in myths. It was also interesting the way you ended your blog by saying that we still don't know everything because I love the saying, "we learn something new everyday" and there have been many times that that statement has been proven.
