Brainstorming

I am going to be doing my project on, Health issues specific to Benzene and Cor exit dispersant's in the Gulf of Mexico! I have some questions/ideas for my project, what are the effects of dispersant's on the Eco-system, How long can the effects linger in the environment, and what dispersant is most commonly used for oil spills? I will be doing more research for my project, I wanted to know if anyone had an opinion on my questions, and my topic itself?

I feel great about being an online student, It has always been my dream to go back to school, and become something. I have enjoyed my learning experience so far at Kaplan, it has made me realize what I can really accomplish in life. Sometimes there are days where I feel over whelmed, but then say I can do it. I never want to give up, school gives me an opportunity to better my life not only for myself but my family. I like the flexibility of the classes, there are a lot of options when it comes to seminar, discussions, projects, and just the classroom. Having a flexible schedule for school helps get things done at a reasonable time. By me being self directed it gives me more options when it comes to the assignments due every unit. I can choose when I want to do my school work, and pass in my assignments.

My ideas to create a closer class community are, more people posting to there blogs, commenting on other students blogs, and participating more in the classroom discussions. All of us are in this classroom community together, if we work together on certain subjects we can give our input on the subject at hand. Some students might like it when the class participates in what they have to say, and comment on their post. I do like when my fellow students pick me to right on my discussion board, or even my blog it makes me feel like someone really cares about what I have to say.

I really like being a part of the blog-o-sphere, it gives me more opportunity to get to know my classmates. Being part of a larger writing community gives me more opportunities, like obtaining information, classmate relation to a subject, and even exchanging information. I believe that the blog-o-sphere is going to be very fun and interesting.
