Back to the Beginning

I realized that I started this blog a bit late, and should probably talk about some of the earlier things we read. The one that I liked the most was Maggie Jackson, "A Nation Distracted." Starting off, I decided that the only proper way to read this would be without getting distracted. So I told my roommates to let me focus, and tried to get through the entire article. Didn't happen. I think I made it to like page 2 before I switched tabs (its a habit) and started chatting on Gmail. After a few more diversions, I did make it though. But reading 5-7, I felt like I was living proof of it. I, a well-educated college student, couldn't muster up enough focus to read a single article continuously. I always thought I didn't because it wasn't convenient. But honestly, I can't. I'm slightly ashamed.
