Last Hurrah!

i honestly loved the way class went today. i actually felt like Dr. preston gave a damn about us, which he always makes me feel that way. i absolutely am in love with the fact that he is letting us create our own project, and give ourself the timeline and due dates and everything! i loved the idea Amanda gave about the video. that honesly was my favorite topic of the day. I really do think it will be so awesome if we all made a little video or snippet of ourselves, and what people dont see from us on a daily basis. It will prove to all the staff, and our classmates, that we arent just another student in a desk and we are human. We do atually care about something and we put interest and effort into the things we care about most. Just because we dont care about reading, or the quadratic formula doesnt mean we are lousy people and only care about our cell phones and social media sites. I am so excited to get started on this project and see what everyone comes up with in the next couple of days.
