As an art student I have always had a journal. It assist me in viewing the world around me. It gives me perspective and inspiration. I am also an avid social networker. I feel that my twitter post are nacassistic. I brag about my wonderful trips and great food. Everything truly is about me me me. I use facebook to record and share my experiences. Although these opportunities were not available during Diordin times I feel that it is the same thing and has the same effect. Patricia Phillips
