Hello All!
So it's been a long time since I have posted anything on here. I think it is because I have found other creative outlets the past few years. So for an update on my creative life can be found on Instagram @trickleintoflood .
In other news, I'm going to use this blog for my writing assignments in my Media, Human Development and Family class with Dr. Sarah Coyne at Brigham Young University. I get to blog once a week about my different experiences and feelings about media in my life and in general.
Last week I actually sat down and watched President Obama's last State of the Union address. I have felt for a long time that I need to be better at keeping up with the news and politics in the United states, but I just really haven't got around to it. So sitting and spending one hour of my time was a repentant effort of mine to be more in the loop.
Watching the State of the Union address made me think, especially because of what we have been studying in class. Though the audience was very select to be in the House, listening to the speech, the viewer still was able to feel very involved. As the speech continued, the camera men made sure to show the audience very frequently and name who they are and what their position is.
It just made wonder about how the American population reacts to this, and who is actually watching it. I also feel a little bit more motivated to be more involved because of my experience watching this address. :p
