Drumroll, please…

 

…I just had to brag a little, since my last post on the subject was centered around how hopelessly behind I was.  Amazing how much can get done in one weekend — although I think my wrists preferred being lazy (in other words: ow).  Now back to your regularly scheduled blogging.

Today’s Class

I have to say I really enjoyed the chat session in class today.  It did seem strange at first not to have open discussion, but I think everyone eventually settled into it naturally.  Even though I was lagging a little behind i was able to keep up with the pace of the conversation and saw where everyone was coming from.  It was nice to be able to scroll upward and look back at what people said prior, you do not have that advantage in conversation.  Often the words come out so quickly that you cannot recall exactly what was said previously.  It did make me think about another issue when we were discussing authorship and why people write.  What about the material that is getting written for our benefit?  Has anyone else thought about this in the sense of how we are being guided by the information we read and hear?  The twist that is placed on stories, the sound bites we receive.  Who exactly is steering us on this course and where are we going to end up?
