"Cultivators of the earth are the most valuable citizens. They are the most vigorous, the most independent, the most virtuous, and they are tied to their country and wedded to its liberty and interests by the most lasting bands."

Week Three

Well, it's time to start Week Three of classes... I'll soon be headed off to my Folklore Genres class, where as soon as I start asking myself, "why did I take this?" I hear something and I think "Yeah, this is exactly what I was wanting." I have to remind myself it's an introductory course so we'll hit all the bases and then maybe I can do what I've been wanting to- to record the culture of different groups in the ag industry.


That's not too terrible, but on another side of things...


My News class is really going to be a challenge. 


We're learning a lot of the technicalities of journalism, and I'm not so good at that yet. Which of course means I'm in the right spot to learn them! If only I could remember that while actually in class furiously looking up rules in the AP Stylebook for the leads and nut grafts I have to construct, perfectly, in the last twenty or so minutes of class. 


But what is college without a few (or several) challenges? The one thing that keeps me going through these challenges is knowing this is where I'm supposed to be.


Well, off to study conflicts with gender when gathering data in field research!
