Reflection on EU/AIM and the week

This week we went to the EU commission to the U.S. The most interesting thing about the debriefing was that the guy ended up saying absolutely nothing of importance. Everything he said could be found on the EU commission to the U.S's website at . Furthermore, he never answered the questions to what the questions were actually asking, not even the one about how the EU was set up. Overall, it was slightly disappointing and uninformative.
So during the last class, a bunch of us were on aim having a discussion. While admittedly, some of the discussion had nothing to do with the actual class, most of it did. I'd also agree with Autumn about many of us not being able to speak when we want to simply because everyone wants to speak. An aim discussion during class will help in allowing everyone to voice what they want to say whether they say it out loud or on aim ; this is the link to autumn's comment. Also, after that class Rachel, Erica, and I were walking back from lunch and talking about the class and PTJ came up and we were discussing the fact that we were still talking about the class and also about the blog discussion that we had. He liked the fact that we were also talking about the class on aim and said that there might be a possibility of having aim groups set up for a future class so we could discuss out loud and on aim and see where one conversation went versus the other and to how related the two actually were. I'd like to end this reflection by saying that the aim conversation should not have to be defended and that while the aim discussion might not have been 100% serious, neither are the class discussions; I mean how can they be when we are trying to relate creepy Ian to marginalization?
