Live From Haiti
At approximately 12:30 a.m. last night, Sheri and I were putting the final touches on our paper. While we were waiting for it to print out, we decided to click on the "Next Blog" button at the top of the blogger site. The first site that came up was a lovely blog on the Johnson family, pictures and all. We thought that would be quite awkward to share your whole family story with the world. Not wanting to creep on this random family, we clicked the "Next Blog" button again. Up comes the blog "Live From Haiti." We lost it. After spending hours upon hours researching and writing about Haiti, this was just too much. Who would've thought? This blog originally started as an account detailing the writer's trip to Haiti. They continued it with the latest news or describing history from Haiti. Some of the blogs were exactly the information we found elsewhere, all compiled into an easy to read format. We thought this was quite ironic, given that our research paper is about Haiti. Looking back and writing about this situation this morning, it does not seem as funny as it did last night. It's amazing what hours spent together with one person can do to one tiny little situation. A pure coincidence becomes absolutely hilarious.

That's crazy! I can totally see you guys just cracking up. It is a really weird coincidence though! I guess Haiti is still a big headline, but still. That's a bummer you didn't see it sooner, though.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, that would suck! All the stuff you researched and organized was already written somewhere but you didn't see it until after! I guess it might have reassured you that the info in your paper was important.
