As half of the class didn't show and then don't blog it's kind of hard to comment on at least two people's blog regarding Friday’s class before the break.
Teaching a class so to speak is as a I have found out not is not easy as it sounds especially when people aren't even listening so I think that the class on health care went fairly well. There was just one part I didn't get which, was why after we were put into groups some of us had to go outside in really cold weather.
I liked the fact that we were given different scenarios and had to play them out and coming back that each group intersected with each other. I already knew to a certain extent how health care worked and that it sucks half the time, but when in my group I decided to see what sort of process I had to go through to see if I was eligible for aid. I was basically given the run around. Was led to a survey and couldn’t answer all of the questions and then was led back to the web page where I started. At least there was some phone numbers I could call.

friday class
Last weeks class was to say the least interesting. When I got the email saying wear walking shoes I'm like oh god what are they going to have me do? Then when we were in class and talking in a circle to be honest I really didn't like it, I hate getting in circles because it means I will have to talk.
But then we got to leave and go to Marina, and I thought it was fun, I've been going to college here for more than 2 years now and I've never really been around Marina besides driving quickly through it. It was kind of cool to pay attention to all the businesses that were there, and the apartments and to see how many churches that were there. What really struck me was how as soon as we turned the corner the apartments/houses were immediately of better conditon and were really expensive.
I think my favorite part was going to Locke-Paddon pond because it was a place that I went to as part of my ESSP class and water testing the water quality at the pond. And I never knew there was a library there it's a nice one to. I am kind of bummed that I wasn't in the other group because they all seemed to have a lot of fun getting to talk to the people who owned one of the restaurants.
Overall I think everyone who was there had fun, and agree that that it gave a new perspective on Marina and are going to be more conscious about what kind of community we are living in or are visiting.
