Another week, another Blog update. I really wish I had something important to talk about, but I'm afraid I don't. There's not much to talk about, really. All I did this week was go to class, study, and watch the Stock Market crash and burn. In regards to the US economy, its like a train wreck. Its so horrifying, yet you can't look away. Only now its past the train wreck part - now there's a school bus involved. Okay, forgive the morbid analogy, but you have to admit, the news this week has been quite grim.
I find myself wondering... how will these effect me? How will the current state of our economy affect students like me? From what I've gathered, it won't be too good. Student loans will become harder to get, some colleges will be raising tuition prices, and most jobs that students rely upon will disappear, since businesses will have to cut jobs and wages in order to keep up with the economy. Some student's college funds are rapidly drying up, since their parents decided to put it in the stock market. Students who weeks ago had their futures paid for are now finding themselves in a very bad situation. Isn't the Butterfly Effect wonderful?
Right, so, how 'bout something cheerier to discuss? Um... I got nothing. I honestly don't know what else to talk about. I doubt my inability to come up with good blog material is going to effect my grade all too well. No matter how hard I try, I can't figure out what I'm supposed to even be writing about. I meant to ask Dr. Miller about it, but I forgot to ask him I had the chance. Oops... And I left the piece of paper about our blog that he gave us back at my dorm. So here I am, typing away, hoping that my inability to blog properly does not come back to haunt me... Wonderful.

I seem to have that same inability. I'm not sure how much it is costing me or if it's costing me at all. I hope the latter. Ours is supposed to tie in somehow to the Mission Statement. I've tried my best to do that every time, but sometimes it's too hard to find something that happened during a week of your life at MC that relates to the Mission Statement.
you have me thinking about how whats going on in the stock markey going to affect me.
I'm worried about the economy too. I just hope that it gets better. If not, things will get worse.
