Final Post

After the first day of class, I knew it was going to be an interesting class and I was looking forward to learning a lot more about the class and even about myself.  Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to stay in Hawaii because of the gallstones, but at least I was with my family.  Even though I wasn’t able to attend class any more, I still learned more that I think I could have.  Despite the pain, I was able to get my work done and learn outside of the class room.  I thought most of the articles were interesting and the books were good, even the videos on Ted.com were pretty interesting, as well as the guest speakers.  I was lucky enough to at least go on a few field trips before I left the island and both of the field trips that I went to for this class were very new to me and that’s what I loved.

Although, I wasn’t all that good with turning in a weekly blog, I still was able to do them.  This was my first time blogging and I kind of liked it, I didn’t really have time to explore all that blogging had to offer, but I was able to put up pictures and videos up without too much trouble.  I don’t think I would have really considered blogging had it not been for this class, but I’m glad that I got to do something new. 

This class really taught me that we should really take a second look at what we are doing and why.  Why are we doing some of these things when we obviously know that it can’t me good for us or for the environment?  We need to start thinking of not just ourselves, but everything around us, because if it wasn’t for the plants and the insects we would not be here today.  We need to start looking at the problems that we are causing around us and come up with ways to fix those problems permanently before it’s too late. 

Thanks again for an interesting and educational class.  I just wish I would have been able to actually attend class.  This is my final blog for this class, but I don’t think it’s the last of them.
