That's All Folks

The topic for my final paper came to me after a discussion with Professor Tabor. I knew my topic was going to be on the environment but didn't know which aspect of it. After going to the library and seeing another classmates post and searching the candidate's websites, it came to me like a light bulb. I chose do my paper on the candidates position on "green jobs" because it seems as though the whole world is "going green" so it's only right that we "go green" in the job market as well. I wanted to know in what ways were the candidates going to implement those type of jobs into the economy.

The whole blogging experience was ok for me. I'm a very computer literate person and love being on the computer when I have spare time. But it seemed like with the whole blogging thing, my time was going by soooo fast and before I knew it I had to do a post. I'm a very busy person and making time to do the posts was at times hard for me because I didn't have the time. Between a full-time job that starts at 6:00am, a part-time job that starts at 4:00pm and school in the evening, I hardly had time to do my posts. But eventually I got the hang of it and started making time by going to the library after class instead of rushing home to goto sleep or watch tv. Eventhough I enjoyed blogging, I'm still apprehensive about posting my words because I'm just starting to take sociology classes and feel as though everyone else is aware of the field and its theories or ideas and knows how to speak sociologically or critically in their postings. I'm hesistant about my postings because I feel the words won't come out right or sound as intelligent as everyone else's. Blogging forced me to put my words and thoughts out in public to be viewed by others. I like to write but am not yet a critical thinker in terms sociology but eventually after more classes in the field, I know I'll understand the concepts and be able to express my thoughts in terms of sociology.

I really enjoyed the class and topics discussed. Just as other students in the day/night class, this is the first time I actually paid close attention to the presidential race. I voted back in 2004 but didn't really and honestly understand or pay attention to the views of the democratic contenders, I just went with who the minority vote was for. This time around I'm watching debates, reading candidate's websites and understanding their views/ideas.

Thanks Professor Tabor for making the class interesting and not just about writing and also for making the election the focus for some posts and class discussions because it really opened up everyone's eyes to the election and issues at hand, especially those who weren't into politics.

Good Luck to everyone:)
