1. How easy or difficult was the blogger?,… well it was not hard but it was not all that easy either, you really have to think about the question that you ask for us to answer on the blog. Thoughts about ourselves which not all of us do for more than a minute, for us to come to our conclusion that we are doing wrong, in anything, including how we treat the environment carelessly on our part. To criticize other peoples work and when necessary to add unique knowledge to stuff worth talking about. But seriously, I liked the class because it made you want to do your work, because the work is your work and well who can really put more pressure on you to do something other than yourself on a topic you actually like.
2. Blogger was relatively easy to work with, after you try a few things out and you see what you like, you’re good to go. The blog has been a fun experience, because it’s a nice way for me to have a timeline on myself and what I think about from week to week. I am honestly going to try to keep up with it.
3. 250 words are not hard at all, because when you’re answering the question, the words should come as nothing. Maybe a couple of blogs were a bit difficult but for the most part I judge a class by how I feel about the class at the end, and I feel good about this class. I worked hard, and earned what I got. There is relatively no pressure for me to do the blog, because I liked it.
4. I liked the deadline, well because I usually use that as a warning sign for me to get things done. The day and time is fine with me, because I am a late sleeper.
5. I liked interacting with the other bloggers because you really get who are the people who are trying in the class as well as what they are about. like some people are really for the environment and have other experiences from other countries that are interesting to read about, its all about thinking outside the box.
6. Comparing blogging to my other classes is that this is better than some of my other classes, because I want to be here and learn what is at hand.
7. I would definitely will try to keep up with the blog because I used to have a journal as a kid and always liked it because it showed who I was and what I have changed too.

Blog 11
From reading the "The Basics," "Home" and the one of my choice "School." I have decided that this is my list of the 5 things I can do towards the 5 that I least can do:
shaving:
As I already do it already, I don't try to let the water run
light bulbs:
This should be 1st thing anybody really comes up with that they can do because it litterally replces a product and serves the same exact service.
water filters:
I do it already, and the water tastes just as good as any other.
pens:
I started to this when I bought school supplies for the "G-2 pens" that I use, but what I found out was, at the staples I went, the refills ended up costing more than the actual pens themselves...which is plain stupid.
schoolbooks:
I do it because of the money mostly, but it also won't be collecting up dust siiting around in my closet.
Least able to do:
Temperature: The house is kep relatively which is what I'm used too but to turn it down any further, is something I may have trouble with.
plastic: I do not know how we could really get around this, it is mass produced on an exceptional scale. The industry would have to be forced to go make to glass like it was. I do whaht I can with recycling but..
carpooling: I drive with other people to the club or get together that I know everyone is going too, but other than that, solo is way I go usually. Train is ok. by me though.
Storage containers: plastic is so manageable, it contains the item you want saved and does not break, the containers suggested are heavy and breakable.
Trash bags: I find this a bit hard because some of the bags may have a whol in them causing stuff to leak out of it if it is a reused bag.

All I want to say this week is a few things,...
. I am actually keeping up with some of my commitments I made earlier in the year, like not letting the water run when I shave and when going to home depot, encouraging my mother to buy biodegradable pots for the plants to save on the plastic. I find myself saving my garbage until I find a suitable place for it instead of leaving it just anywhere, not to say I threw it anywhere before, but you get the picture.
. I am completely frustrated with myself and feel overwhelmed with what I am supposed to take on for this paper. When I did the draft I wanted to take on three topics, A. the reason for the racism that has existed in New Orleans for so long, B. The possible reasons for the slow aid for the victims of Katrina by local and state. C. Possible solutions, so that this could never happen again. When I re-read my draft I was only reporting on the cause of the racism nothing about the aid and only little bit on possible solutions.
. I have found this paper harder than I expected it to be, not to say I can’t complete the paper to the best grade possible. I also find myself with a midterm crisis with all my other classes , as I feel Like I am drowning, anyway I am just venting.
P.S.
If you are a coffee person, save your coffee grounds for your plants because it provides nitrates for your plants that they can flourish on.....works for you and the environment.

1 Official Topic: race and class relations in the lower 9th ward of Katrina in New Orleans
2 I am writing this topic because I saw the disparity on t.v. when Katrina hit New Orleans, more specifically the lower 9th ward. I always wanted to know more about the difference between these people who were the "have nots" and the people who were in a better off situation, the "haves." I wanted to know about this topic when I saw that Kanye West proclaimed that "Bush, doesn't care about black people"
3 I hope to reach the people who are ignorant to this issue. I want to reach the individuals who think A, Katrina could never happen again. and B. Obilivent the racism that was the the recovery effort that followed was just a mistake.

There is No Such Thing as a Natural Disaster: Race, Class, and Hurricane Katrina

Black groups claim conspiracy to turn New Orleans white The Courier Mail (Queensland, Australia) October 15, 2005 Saturday
I do not know how to link it here, because I obtained it off of EBSCO It discusses the difference between the upper and middle class. I want more articles like this one...
6 My thesis is going to be that racism is alive and well and entrenched in our governing body, coming to the forefront when there is a disaster.
