Free Writing

I think that this semester is the most hectic semester that I have had. I am so full of things to do, I am way over my head! Especially these two last weeks have been extremely busy, especially with the birth of my first nephew. In these past two weeks I had to do three research papers, complete an ePortfolio, study, for my midterm for my Drugs and behavior class and a lot of other small things. I hardly had any sleep last week trying to do everything, especially since I spend a lot of time with my nephew.

Luckily I now have things under control. In my previous blog I wrote that my topic was going to be about water. But after seeing some of the response that I got I decided to narrow it down to writing only about Colorado’s rivers, and its problems and the endangered fishes that are suffering the consequences of low water flows. I realize that writing about the use and abuse of water was too of a broad topic. After seeing all the research that I had already I saw that I had enough information to write only about the ten most problematic rivers and it’s fishes that are in the endangered list.

I was very interested in the response that the professor put in my previous blog. “I learned what happens to the water after it is used in my house; one of many issues was the use of antibacterial soap for washing dishes—antibacterial soaps actually make it harder for special bacteria to clean the water supply which is then turned into drinking water again and also ends up in our bodies, killing good bacteria that we need to be healthy” I was very interested in writing about that topic but I HONESTLY didn’t have time to do more research so I used what I already had and narrowed it down to wring more about eh endangered fishes in the Colorado River.
