Current Events and a New Format

Okay, I'm here to announce some structural changes starting this week. Normally this space (as you know) is used to announce the topic we've selected to discuss this week. But with this week, and every other week after, this space won't be as needed. That is because we elected the weeks to be "news story weeks."

Basically, I'm going to lay out the month format for you to see.

Week 1: Current Events
Week 2: Breather Topic (aka: usually in the style of "favorite ___")
Week 3: Current Events
Week 4: Serious Topic (aka: the stuff we've usually been talking about)

When we say "Current Events" we mean that each person is going to pick a news story for that week that interests them, and write about it. For two weeks out of the month we won't all be writing about the same topic, instead we'll be sharing something that we personally think is interesting and want to show you.

So I hope you'll find the new format enjoyable and as interesting as we find it ourselves. I'm am personally looking forward to what everyone has to share this week.
