Introduction and First Thoughts

Firstly, I'll apologize for getting this started so late. I initially wrote this a little bit after the first two classes. Here ya go:

I first signed up for this class completely on a whim. I decided I want to push all of my classes to Tuesday and Thursday (I had only one class on MWF, you see) and thought this class sounded like the most interesting replacement to Post-Apocalyptic Fiction. I heard I dodged a bullet by not enrolling in that class anyway, so there's that, for sure.

I'm really enjoying this class thus far. It looks like it'll focus mostly on discussion, which always helps me better understand the material. I like that everyone in the class seems to share my thoughts on being anti-littering--which I'm supposed to be discussing here, so I guess I'll just share my initial thoughts on that.

The problem I have with littering isn't so much that it's ugly, but the fact that it's just flat out lazy. Plain and simple: if you have ever thrown a used drink cup, or anything outside of your car window while driving, then congratulations! You are lazy. So lazy that you couldn't even be bothered to wait until you got to your destination to throw your trash where it belongs. I really don't understand the mindset people like this can have without just shrugging my shoulders and saying, "Meh, it's laziness."

I'll get into this topic more when I gather some more information on it. For now, I guess I'll just shamelessly plug my other blog on here: WTF Subconscious, a blog about the weird, messed up dreams I, and others, have. I didn't use it as my blog for the class because I feel like it'd be hard to compare dreams to environmental problems. WTF Subconscious has barely gotten off it's feet (in retrospect, starting it right before the semester was probably definitely a terrible idea) but if you're into that kinda thing go ahead and check it out. Maybe even leave a comment or two. Or even a comment here! All the cool kids are doing it. Just ask them.

Peace out.
