Economy

Lately, I've been hearing so many people talk about the downfall of our economy.  I'm really worried about what is happening in America today.  We are no longer the strongest nation, economically.  Instead we're having a steady downfall that we must recover from.  I recently heard someone discussing the White House's plan to help the situation.  From what I understood (which may not be correct in full), the White House plans to send out money to workers and homeowners, to help boost their income for the year.  However this seems to me like a small band-aid on a big wound.  This will only temporary help out workers and homeowners.  Unless these people really understand money and investing, I don't know if they will take advantage of this luxury, and put the money to use.  I hope to learn more about our economy and this dilemna we're currently a part of.  I'm sorry if this information is not all correct.  Leave me a comment if you know this more in depth!

Web Logging

I think this web logging idea is a good one; it's a unique approach to education.  I really like how it allows us (students) to express our thoughts in words.  Typically I would not write out what I am thinking.  This blog however, forces me to write out in words what I'm thinking, and therefore clear my head a little.  I think it will help me sort out everything I'm thinking about, and my emotions.  College is a lot of fun, but not so much fun when you're homesick and missing your old friends at the same time.  I think when I'm homesick and missing my friends, this blog will be a good place for me to think "out loud."
