Wow. That was what I thought first when it occurred to me how behind I am in this whole blogging process. If I work fast, I can write about two thousand words a night for the next week and be caught up. This is such a daunting task, especially in the week right before finals. [...]

This year has truly been amazing! I have survived my first semester in college. I have learned a tremendous amount of insights. I have prayed, cried, and laughed. I never thought I had those many emotions. I have always had the personality of a non-crier. That name was truly broken. I had to cry about [...]

Well this is the last blog! This is a shame because I am just now getting into these crazy things! I just want to thank Dr. Homan because one of his missions for the blogs were to make us become better writers and I think it worked. Before, I was not good at thinking critically [...]

Commenting on the comments. We’ll, I can honestly say that I feel good about what people are saying about the project. Initially I did not know what to expect from people. You know it is extremely easy to dislike something that is new or different. Not that materialism is something new, [...]

It actually seems not long ago that I started my project. I knew that the road would be long and difficult, but I refused to give up. I have talked to so many people who have withdrew from Dr. Homan’s course stating that it was time consuming. Many complained about the extensive [...]
