week five?

This week in Truth in Society I'm not really sure if I learned a lot but I sure did hear a lot. I'd also like to agree with Brittany Moore when she says that her blog's really seem to be lacking what she refers to as "meat". I believe mine are too, maybe I'll add some in next time. ha. In religious studies we read a passage by William E. Paden. I really enjoyed reading this because I felt like it expressed in so many words everything that I had been trying to explain to myself for awhile now. I really appreciated this reading mostly because I can relate to it. Also, in religious studies, the president of the university came, he talked mostly and some things I took in and some I didnt, but over all I thought it was an interesting time just hearing him speak in general. In english I really found that we have been dissecting the play "Doubt" so much that our class discussions are starting to get personal. After reading many others' journals I find everyone else is feeling the same way. I think everyone loves the play but is not yet used to analyzing something to such a degree. We have talked about the play to the point where there is not much else to say except to express your own beliefs, and when coming together with such a vast group of people each with their own beliefs can be like walking through a mine field. However, it was a very interesting discussion. In journalism, we discussed good interviewing skills and good writing skills. I used to write a small article for a paper called the "KV Style" in my home town so I felt like I went into the lecture already with a basic sense of what I was doing, but I found that you can always learn something new which is something I think I have learned multiple times before and always find a way to learn again. We also watched a video, I'm not sure if it's caught my attention yet but apparently is has others (Lenny, what?) however, its not finished so we'll see. :)
