Rainy Mondays make me feel blue :S
But tomorrow's supposed to be sunny again, yay!

Today we discussed our essay topics and practiced doing P&D. My group - Ayaka, Tomoaki, Saori, Yuji, and I - talked about how it was difficult to make an argument on topics such as culture. Often they came out sounding like obvious statements or thesis statements for explanatory essays, as did mine. But after discussing, doing a mini presentation, and receving feedback and constructive questions, I was able to find a direction for my essay and points to consider. Talking to Rab afterwards in Tutorial helped me even more. Thank you everyone :) To the people who were in the other group, my topic is probably going to be about racisim in Disney movies. There seems to be a lot more sources on this topic than I'd imagined so I need to get started on reading and stuff... I feel so busy lately!

And darn... I just remembered that I left my schedule book in the NP room -_- I hope it's still there. If anyone sees a light blue schedule book that says 2010 on the front with lots of animals around it, please tell me! Thanks.

I was going to say something else, but I forgot while writing about my schedule book. !!!
OH yeah, I was really surprised to hear about how the show "24" had been made as a sort of tool to support the U.S. government's actions. I used to watch it all the time while I was in the states, but gradually lost interest in it as I stopped watching it in Japan. I'm pretty sure I saw Kiefer Sutherland saying, "nuclear" like "nuclar"! That really rang a bell when Rab mentioned it during class. The gory scenes were really... gory. It scares me to think what other shows I may have watched/am still watching that are unconsciously pursuading me to agree with/disagree with various things in life. :O
