Final Projects

~Buddhism~

I finished my final project for my World Religions class! It was due today but I completed it and turned it in yesterday. I had to write a 2,000-2,500 word report on one of the world religions. I choose Buddhism. I probably should have chosen a religions I had less knowledge of, but the paper was to include an interview from someone who practices the chosen religion. I happen to know a woman who practices Buddhism who I knew would be willing to be interviewed and would be interesting to listen to. I also had to take a tour of a place of worship. I lucked out and after our interview she took me to the local Shambhala Center even though it was closed. It worked out well and the notes from the interview and site visit took up half my required work count. I didn't do as much research as I would have liked but I did learn a lot and enjoyed writing about it. I want to learn more.

Today I'm working on my environmental science project which is a 1,750-2,100 work paper accompanied by 5-10 PowerPoint slide presentation. It is regarding two environmental problems in a region of my choosing, solutions to solve the problems, and examples of other places who attempted the same solution and their results. I choose to Utah and am discussing overpopulation and loss of wetlands. Good Times! I'm almost half-way done. The week we were gone dropped my grade down to a high B but if I can pull 100% on my project I can still manage an A-.
