Mrs. Lopez,
I was finally able to get back on to the blog so here all my posts that I had posted on TRACS.

Planting Our Mint Plants
It was a good turnout at Laurel Hall Lobby when we all went to start to plant a new life of mint.
I hope that everyone's plant lives a long life and that our project is a success for all.
It was a little dirty with the soil and even with the newspaper I still somehow managed to make a mess but it was all worth it in the end.

11/8/10 Class
Our class discussion was very interesting today. It was about how our nation sees and views diversity. Some people embrace diversity and see it as a positive impact and others see it negatively and some even see diversity as being neutral like myslef. I see it as neutral because good things and bad things come to my mind when diversity comes up. I see people being hurt and discriminated and left outcasted because of where their background is and where their family comes from.
Then I see people growing in understanding and growing in friendships and accepting more of others of their cultures and such by helping move our country forward. We read 3 different selections about diversity. One that my group read was about a gay guy who feels discriminated by his sexuality. Our class made some points of how diversity plays a role in our world in different ways.

Autobiographies Day 2
Today was the second day of only autobiographies at Boko's Living Room at LBJ. It was nice knowing where people came from and their views and decisions about keeping the earth green. Even though I still didn't get to present, I hope I do as well and a good of a job as everyone in my class did today.

Autobiographies Day1
Today was the very first day where people get to present their presentations of mainly powerpoints to the class about their lives and their views about sustainability. I got several ideas from some people of how to be sustainable. Next week we will continue to present our autobiographies and I hope to learn more about my peers. We also are still in the process with our class project getting closer. Also, we discussed today about our class lunch we will be having together soon. I personally wouldn't mind getting some pizza.

Class Project
In class we mainly talked and discussed a big chunk about our class project and how we are going to set it up on our own as a class. We finally came down to the decision in class of planting a plant in front of Laurel Hall.
I don't really notice the landscaping of many buildings but I would'nt mind if something was done to Laurel or at least helped to make it look better. And knowing I was part of planting something there will always be there for my memory. The majority of us came together in the lobby of Laurel last night and came down to the nitty gritty details of our class project. The cost is pretty low so im pretty happy about that.
