Yo Homes this is AWESOME x6!!!

Overall my thoughts on this class was that it was...freaking awesome!!! I have never really been into women studies, the environment, blogging, or websites so, taking this class was slightly random. I had heard really good things about the class, so I decided to take it and it changed my mind on many things.

I really loved going on field trips for class and watching amazing documentaries. I have to say my favorite class field trip was hugging trees. Not a lot of people can say they have done that for a class. I sucked at finding my tree, so I guess I didn't become "one" with the tree, but I really had fun. My favorite documentary was The Cove. It made me cry and I was horrified, but it made me aware of a awful, terrible and heartbreaking problem that most people aren't aware of. The man who was the head of the operation for the movie was a total badass and should recieve support for his cause. I made sure that I joined the cause.

For our website I really enjoyed the trips we got to take. I really enjoyed going hunting with my dad. It was fun to have Sarah and Amanda tag along. I wish I had been given a reason to go hunting with my dad years ago because I just realized at 21 that I might like it. Fishing was okay. I think it would have been better if the water wasn't so choppy and if it was warmer. Overall though it was an awesome experience.

The interview allowed us to meet a kick ass women. She was a competitive archer and owns a business with her husband where they offer bow lessons. She was really nice down to earth women and didn't care what other people thought of her. She also did her own tattoos which is totally awesome. She showed me that if you have a passion for something you don't give up on it, not matter what.

Building the website itself was the most difficult part. I thought I was pretty good at navigating things on the Internet and I had built a website for my India trip on Google sites, but I found out I didn't know as much as I thought I did. Thanks to guidance of Amanda who figured the website out we were able to create and amazing website.

I also didn't know how I was going to feel about blogging and figured I would do the bare minimum for each one. That didn't happen. Instead I found out that I actually had a lot to say about the videos and activities we did. A few of the topics I went on for a while about.

Overall this class was the right choice as my last class in my undergraduate career. I have recommended it to many underclassman and hope they enjoy it as much as I did! You rock Maluso!!
