Q1: Week 8- Fall Break

Over fall break, I went with a friend to Dallas, Texas. We flew on a plane out of New Orleans to get there. As soon as we landed at the airport, we all headed to baggage claim to retrieve our luggage. This always makes me anxious because you always see everyone else's luggage go by, but not yours. I get especially nervous when everyone with me gets their luggage and I still haven't seen mine. I always think it didn't make it on the plane.

As soon as we all retrieve our luggage, we head to the car. It is difficult to fit all of our belongings into the tiny car so my friend and I ended up having luggage piled up on us in the backseat. Although, the luggage did not block our view from seeing the very bright city with all of the tall buildings. I always enjoy seeing the tall buildings at night because I do not see this in Baton Rouge. Finally, as we pull into the driveway of our hotel, we notice that is right across the street from a beautiful campus, SMU.

    I also hate waiting for my luggage to come. It sounds like you had a great trip. Good job!

Human Nature

My belief about human nature is that humans are full of possibility. I believe that if someone really puts their mind to something and believes that they can achieve it, then it is possible. Also, I believe that humans are able to make many choices, but the types of choices they make are up to them. I feel like the types of choices a person may make can be influenced by many different factors, such as the way you were raised, or the people you spend lots of time with. I believe that my family led me to my beliefs because I spend the most time around them. Also, I believe that I got these beliefs from the phrase "learning from your actions". This is because if you have the choice between right and wrong, and all the power is in your hands to make that choice, your choice will likely be based upon what you have picked up and learned from your surroundings. Your parents always push you to be the best you can be and to make good decisions, and that all leads up to making good de

Q1: Week 3- Hurricane Katrina

Hurricane Katrina was one of the top five most destructive, harmful, and costly hurricanes to hit the United States. This hurricane was a category 5 which meant it had the most forceful winds. Katrina cost the United States about $108 billion dollars and killed over 1,800 people. The hurricane traveled from southeastern to central Bahamas, then when it first made landfall it was in southeastern Florida as a category 1 hurricane. Katrina transitioned to a category 5 hurricane when it went into the Gulf of Mexico. When Katrina made landfall in southeastern Louisiana and then once again along the Mississippi Gulf Coast, its intensity lowered to a category 3 hurricane. New Orleans was left with massive damage from Hurricane Katrina due to breaks in the levee separating New Orleans from Lake Pontchartrain. By August 31st, when the hurricane was coming to an end, New Orleans was left almost completely under water by about 80%. The highest surge from Katrina was near Bay St. Louis, MS. Also

Q2: Week 5 LOTF Response

[Piggy:] "I don't agree with all Jack said, but with some.  'Course there isn't a beast in the forest.  How could there be?  What would a beast eat?" "Pig." "We eat pig." "Piggy!" "I got the conch!" said Piggy indignantly.  "Ralph--they ought to shut up, oughtn't they?  You shut up, you littluns!  What I mean is that I don't agree about this here fear.  Of course there isn't nothing to be afraid of in the forest.  Why--I been there myself!  You'll be talking about ghosts and such things next.  We know what goes on and if there's something wrong, there's someone to put it right." He took off his glasses and blinked at them.  The sun had gone as if the light had been turned off. [...] "Life," said Piggy expansively, "is scientific, that's what it is.  In a year or two when the war's over they'll be traveling to Mars and back.  I know there isn't no beast--n
