first of all, thank you everyone for your feedback. It's very useful.

Are we going to get to see final projects? I know some of them aren't on digital media, but if we could see at least the ones that are, it would be really cool, because I really like what I've seen so far. I think all of you chose really good mediums for your research/project. I'm really interested in seeing final projects if possible.

Mel: Your project is very unique, I had no knowledge of polyamorous bisexuals before. I didn't know people were polyamorous, not that I thought a person could only love one person, but I've never heard of it in the way you put it. The fiction story sounds like a good read, and good insight into their minds.

Emily: I think your project is interesting because you're one of the very few that I've heard in real life say that you want to join the peace corps. It was a subject in our family once upon a time when my cousin used to tell her parents she was going to join them but they never really took her seriously, which is kind of a shame in a way, but at the same time that was a different story. Even if it's not entirely for the reasons people think it is, it's still a good thing. From an objective-ish view, at least the people in the places they go help are getting help that they need. Sometimes, the reason may not be the best, but if the people are getting the help they need, as long as it's necessary, I think it's a good thing. Your scrapbook looks very nice, it's very different and very artistic.

Allison: I think your project is very cool in that people can relate to it but still think about it in a different perspective than usual. It was something I could definitely relate to. My cousin and her boyfriend have had on/off long distance relationship for the past I dunno, four years? All the stuff you said today, I know I was laughing and smiling, it wasn't because I was making fun of you or anything, it was just so funny 'cause I could relate to it completely. When you talked about how sweet and yet sickening it is sometimes, lol, definitely know that one. I don't think I could ever have a local relationship, too much attachment *shivers* ugh, I like my boy, but.....if he were here, I dunno....I need my space....I guess the few hundred miles are pretty perfect that. Yeah, I miss him when I'm far, but when I do go back it's like "aaahhhh-bubble, i live in one, remember?"

Joey: I think your project is very creative, and it's very true. It's a big subject here especially with elections and presidential campaigns going on. I think it's a good medium for you because I remember you talking about how you want to go into journalism and I think it's a good place to start. It's definitely an interesting piece, and very unique because different people will have different ways that they react to the Post-Traumatic-Stress disorder, and they will have different stories, and I think your article will be a very good piece. It's hard to compile all those emotions/facts into one article, and I commend you for going about it. It's definitely important as many are so disconnected from the soldiers there because they are far away. It's important to keep in sight what's going on around us, even if it's not directly in our environment. I also commend your poise from some rude comments. Don't let it get to you, what you are doing is unique and a very good idea. I know someone mentioned wanting your project to be more than one article, I understand that that would be cool as well, but also I know how much work even one article is. I think if you go with your one article and really focus on it (because of the short time we have), it'll be more effective than trying to make numerous.

Andrea: Your project caught my attention in a way where I hadn't thought before. My family is full of schizophrenics, of which one that I am especially close to, or was I guess. She wasn't schizophrenic until a while ago, or at least never diagnosed. They always knew she had depression (which runs in my family) and some other problems, and eventually they said borderline personality disorder, and recently they're looking at schizophrenia. I'd really like to be able to see some of your research in detail and your journal if possible, because I know a lot of the time, I feel bad for her, but she has also driven me insane for years, and I guess I'm not really patient with her about it anymore. I understand she has a problem but whever certain things happen, or she fights with me in a way, I have a hard time thinking calmly before I say anything, and then I end up making things worse. I think reading that would help me see better about what's going on in her mind. While I understand how much pain she is in at times, when she gets on my nerves, I tend to forget about it at those instants, and then I end up really making things worse.

Overall, I REALLY love everyone's projects, and if you could possibly put your final pieces of work online, it would be AWESOME!!! I'm curious to see how peoples' projects turn out and I'm really interesting in reading them in detail.
