I am still on the ropes, as it were, but I have a couple of ideas… One idea is “Weres: They DO exist” and another idea is “Are Wizards truly evil?”. I am still thinking on it, but would love some feedback!!

Unfortunetly I have been having trouble with MyCompLab and have not had a chance to see what my peers have written. However, from past experience, I have learned that people LOVE LSC and are very comfortable here. I also found that there are a LOT of really good writers here!!! I am looking forward to read more of my peers’ works.

The cartoon of the girl shopping to help the economy kind of hit home. I work at Walmart and see first hand how shoppers help my fellow employees and myself stay employed and get hours. As sad as it is for me to say… Shoppers really do help the economy! However, as a shopper, it does hurt too!! The economy IS suffering right now. People do not really have the extra money to shop like we used to. The lack of funding hurts us all!! Without shoppers, (as one who works in retail) hours get cut and then we are forced to use our “extra” money to pay bills and rent. Something needs to give. The only question is: What?

A little over a year ago I went to Oaxaca, Mexico. I had about a year and a half of spanish under my belt, but was still not confident in my knowledge of the language.

I spent about a week in Oaxaca, mingling with the locals. I felt so out of place, especially considering my doubts in their language. However, I was able to function and very quickly fell in love with the city and her people.

I hope to go there again sometime… only this time I will try to feel less like a foreigner and more like myself!!

I think that one of my strongest virtues is Order. I like to have everything in its place and well organized. At the same time, however, I think that this is also one of my greatest weaknesses. At work I am a neat and orderly person and get cranky when things are a disorganized mess. At home, my room is an absolute mess!!
