the state of my research prospectus is good. I was able to start on my literature review with the appropiate information. I feel that there is too much information and that its hard to organize everything.

For this free write, I will talk about Panama City Beach. It is a small city northwest Florida. The city is well known for spring break. College students from all over the US go to the beach to party. MTV, two years in a row, hosted their spring break there. There are nightclubs, bars, restaurants. Club La Vela is the best known nightclub, which is the largest nightclub in America. It is several stories high, and has daytime and nighttime parties. It is apopular place to go to run away and relax from school, work, and other things in life. The beach is considered “The Spring Break Capital of The World”. Over 500,000 colleges and highschool students arrive between the months of March and April
Unfortunately, some people get so heavily intoxicated that they die. On average, spring breakers will average 18 drinks perday for guys and 10 for girls. The tourism leaders actually want to clean up the “hardcore” party image a bit. Every year a christian organization from all over the US, comes to Panama City Beach to talk with the partyers. It is helpful as some of them are letting loose, not using thier judgement in making decisions. The people from the christian organizaitons can help them and even talk with them about themselves. It seems like a lost cause, but it helps the party-goers think about things for a moment and second-guess their actions

For this open topic, I want to talk about facebook. Facebook is a world-wide website that allows you to keep in contact with old and current friends. Almost every college student has one. It is a way of communication and even keep in touch. Every event and relationship statuses, pictures everything is on facebook. It is in a way a social norm to have a facebook. Many students get distracted from their work by being on facbeook. People stalk their friends by reading their wall posts, looking at pictures, and looking at their personal information.
I then realized how much facebook is addicting when I myself, would spend hours on facebook just checking and commenting on pictures. I decided to cut down on my facebook access. I recently read an article on facebook addicts. This mother was so addicted to facebook. It isn’t a real medical diagnosis but it is very common that people cross the line from social networking to social dysfunction. There is actually a check list to see if you’re a facebook addict. It includes, lacking sleep because of facebook, spend more than an hour a day on facebook, thought of getting off facebook makes you nervous. It is surprising that people get anxiety or stress from being off facebook. This woman on her blog decided to give up going on facebook for lent. She wanted to know what she would actually miss about facebook and what she really did value. I decided to only be on facebook for 10 minutes a day. Even this has proven difficult. Especially when seeing funny pictures I want to comment on or even catching up with an old friend on facebook chat. But through the experience, I learned to actually call people to catch up instead of virtually contacting them. Its actually more intimate and better way of catching up with people. So far, ive learned that facebook is good to keep updated with people but to really keep a friendship going, is actually calling them up. I don't think most people realize the importance of calling and hanging out to keep a friendship and not just saying a friendly message with no genuine concern to see how they are doing.

The state of reserach prospectus is okay. It is hard to gather information for my literature review. I dont' know where to begin with my wiritng and what needs to be in it.

For this free write I would like to talk about the macbook spying case. The highschool gave every student a macbook to complete their work on and off school. Like any other macbooks, they had a webcam. The highschool had the ability to turn on the webcam even off school property. A student was sent a message saying he did illegal behavior and they have pictures to prove it on the webcam. I thought the highschool was creative in using the webcam to keep track of lost or stolen laptops. However, it is ridiculous that the faculty has the ability to turn on the webcam when the student is at home. Especially, when there was no suspicion that the laptop was even lost. This is an invasion of privacy, “peeping tom technology”. Sometimes people change infront of their computers while listening to music. Or even on the computer just at home. Its big invasion of privacy and the school had no reason to activate the webcam without a report of a lost or stolen laptop. The highscshool claimed they disabled the webcam feature. But students decided to slap post-it notes over the camera lens just in case.

I found a lot of good articles on MRSA. It was hard to organize all of them as they each covered issues and multiple concerns concerning MRSA. It was hard to narrow and find the articles i needed to use for my literature review. Not a lot of research has been done using honey and even PVL toxin. PVL toxin for example has issues in the sceintific community if it even helps in virulence. FInding articles and getting a good balance of what that toxin is was difficult
