1 hour and 10 minutes

Spent time exploring different features on the website creator. Started organizing facts into statements for the website and began putting pictures on the website. Found videos of people being executed in the electric chair for the webpage. Website creator is easier than I thought it would be but it is still a pain in the ass.

Audience: college students (18-25)

Media: website/brochure

This morning my group meet in the library from 10-10:30. We decided on the media we are going to use in our project. We came up with our proposal that is due on thursday. None of us are really technologically gifted but we decided we would all try and create a website. If this works out we will go with it, if not we will try something else.

purpose: raise awareness on the death penalty

Audience: college students (18-25)

Media: no idea at this current time

Worked on for 30 minutes in class

Talked about what media we should use. Patrick was not here today so we did not get a direction to go. On tuesday 11/10/09 as a group we decided to go with Patrick's topic on why the death penalty is wrong and how we need to change the way we think about it.

The movie "Easy Rider" is one of my favorite movies of all times. It really captures the spirit of the times in the 60's. It stars Peter Fonda, Jack Nicholson, and Dennis Hopper. Two hippie bikers are making their way to Mardi Gras in New Orleans after selling some dope to finance their trip. the encounter people who disapprove of their lifestyle and people who are practicing extreme non-conformity by living in a hippie commune. Whether you like the 60's or just want a good movie to watch this one is worth seeing.

Is anyone else sick of Indiana? I just feel like I need a road trip, even one with no destination. Road trips where you just jump in the car and go usually are the most fun because there is no schedule, it is on your own time, and no matter what you do it's always fun. I am excited for Christmas break because i will hopefully be driving out to Decatur, Ill to visit one of my friends. Road trip, no classes to worry about, a different state (even if it is just one away), good friends- all of the making for a great time.
