So, I thought the discussion on Thursday was really interesting, I just felt that there wasn't enough time in one class! So I'm looking forward to Tuesday to hear everyone's thoughts, in addition to sharing my own.  I think I was a little quiet, I enjoy listening a little too much.  But, I noticed people saying how American culture isn't really strong.  I know that my mom is Portuguese and I CLING to that part of me, and I'm guilty of ignoring my father's heritage because he's more "American".  Although, when I traveled to another country, I found myself speaking a lot about American traditions and our way of life, and very enthusiastically. 

Reflecting on stories:  I believe stories truly is all we are.  All human beings naturally search for the truth.  Scientific theories are all stories, and the facts we do know are usually filled-in with stories to make sense of these facts.  Another thing I've always come to realize is that: the more we know and the more we learn, the more we realize that we really know nothing.  So will we ever know the "truth" and if we do, what's the point? How will that better us?

I hope I'm making sense I'm writing this in the midst of many distractions.  See you on Tuesday!
