I’m not feeling
up to a great blog post this week, and since I turned in my project, it’s going
to be incredibly short, so I apologize for the lack of quality. Life has been
horribly chaotic this past week.
For articles,
Wednesday’s on the pope was my obvious choice for two reasons—one, I thought
the red hats in the header picture were fezes because I miss Morocco and two, Francis, 76, is First Non-European to Lead
Church in 1,200 Years. The last pope (I don’t remember his name, and
frankly I won’t remember this one’s) was the first in 600 years to retire, and
this one is the first non-European in 1,200 years. Not only is that two
consecutive firsts, but one number is divisible of the other! How cool is that?
Frankly—and I hope I don’t offend anybody by saying this—I don’t really much
care about the pope, didn’t care about the last one, doesn’t really affect me at
all until one or the other starts making homophobic comments. Anyhow, I think
this is newsworthy because the guy’s Argentinian, and apparently this is big
news. Maybe they’re going for diversity in the catholic church? (The pope is catholic,
right?) Obama seems to be happy about the choice unless he was just feeding the
media a line, which seems likely since he’s president. I definitely would not
have seen this if it were online because the only reasons I was attracted to it
were the fez-likes hats in the accompanying picture and the fact that 1200
divided by 600 is two, thus making the second pope the first in twice as long.
Class
expectations haven’t changed. I wish I had more energy to put something more
meaningful, but alas, I do not. I’m giving my presentation tomorrow, so perhaps
I expect that to be an informative experience as I’ll get to know all the
mistakes I made in the Soundslides and perhaps learn what I need to know going
forward with the video project in May. Speaking of May, Maybe I’ll go sleep now. I know it would surely benefit others in
my presentation, since being articulate is typically a good thing.
