Now that half of my senior year is pretty much complete, I noticed that my future is becoming more and more clear. I was never fully sure what I actually wanted my career to be and always ended up changing my mind. This year in particular, I have taken a liking to politics in general and thought about entering the political sphere. I remember being bored out of my mind when my parents would watch the news, but this year I learned that all that stuff is actually really interesting. The biggest shocker would actually be my new found liking to C-SPAN 2, the Senate channel of course. It's neat to see what actually takes place thirty minutes away from my house which in turns affects the whole country.
Also, with the blogs we have to keep current with, I have found that it reinforces my feelings toward politics in general. I love being able to voice my opinion and correct all those backwards, completely warped claims people try to present as a "legitimate argument". Now I know that everyone has different views on different matters but when speaking about a certain topic, he or she better make sure that they are familiar with what they're trying to say and not spew useless garbage in "retaliation".
I find that this year I keep more current and I'm very well read with what is going on in the world today. In turn, I have become more confident in my beliefs regarding politics and conveying these beliefs through my posts for example. Anyways, I'm glad that we're doing these blogs because not only does it open our eyes to what is actually taking place around us, but also allows everyone to express themselves however they may please. (:

I am glad that someone else in the school is also interested in politics. I recently found my "passion" for politics as well; some time last year. I could leave CNN on all day and be entertained every second. I can't say the same as you for the whole blog thing; it has not done for me what it has done for you. My political knowledge has really been growing for quite some time. I'm glad that you really enjoyed the blogging; I don't know how many others did though ahahahaha.
