Research Paper

I have had a lot of trouble coming up with an idea about what I would like to research. Nothing really seemed to come to interest at first and then I thought about the negative effects that mass media can play on peoples perceptions. I haven't got much done other than a little research and I was interested in the tobacco industry and how they manipulated the mass media into printing false stories so that people wouldn't know cigarettes are bad. I am also looking into what perception actually is and how it is effected in general because this would give me an idea to fall back onto and reference tho show that perception does change. I have a lot of work to do in the next couple days to get my paper where I want it to be but least I have an idea about where I want to go and how to get there.

Forgotten Assignments

It's weird how assignments that I forget to do are the ones that just jump right out of my head and then I never have to remember about them again. But the assignments that I finish and learn the information, and forget to turn in are the ones that stay with me. It isn't even about the information that I obtain it is the principle behind turning the work in, that I can't forget. It seems to me like forgetting about an assignment completely would be something that I would want to go back and finish just so I can understand the material but it never is that case. O how can I forget to turn in an assignment that is already completed just seems like a complete waste of time especially if i didn't learn anything. I might have just as well not done the assignment about bunnies that wasted 2 hours of my life that I will never get back just for a grade that i will never see.
