The past week has been filled with flu, severe colds and numerous absences coupled with several school events that required students to miss class. To adjust to the missing masses one of the activities Sociology pursued was a self-administered IQ test. We also discussed perception and how it affects our view of self and others and how that impacts not only relationships but success.

J1 has continued to pursue its study of current events with daily forays into the Longview News-Journal and news and feature writing.
