I turned in an assignment tuesday morning that i am not at all proud of. I wish i had had more time to finsih so that i could turn in something that i felt complete becuased then hering coments would maybe be more affective in improving my writing skills. I do understand the assignment though and am interested to hear feedback.
It was difficult trying to find people to interview becuase many teachers and faculty said the were too busy to answer any questions. One person i interviewed, Judy Clark of the financial aid office, was extremely helpful, as usual. She even reccomended some other people who would be happy to answer some questions.
It was also interesting to hear many people's discomfort with answering such a controversial question, a few people looked me up and down as if deciding wheither to be honest or not. One woman did not want her name disclosed in the write-up even though I explained it was just a class write-up.
Both of the students I interviewed seemed anxious to say their opinion, adding sarcasm and jokes to help their opinion.
Although, it was nice and almost comforting to hear that everyone had a similar opinion in that we had no business in Iraq from the first place. It would have been more interesting in my paper if i had an opposing opinion though.

I had a really hard time finding opposing comments too. The closest thing I got to an opposing viewpoint was someone who said that we should fix what we had already messed up.
Interesting. I didn't have as difficult of a time finding people who didn't know whether to be honest with me, as with finding people to talk to me at all. I agree; time was really tight, and I was a bit frustrated with my final product as well.
