It truly is amazing that the semester has gone by this quickly! In all honesty my perception of the class changed 180 since the first week.

The general consensus stated that Agent Moncure …

Archives Well the time has come. We all know Canada and Russia have been conspiring against us all along. President Trump was planted specifically for this purpose. He can try to deny his Russian contacts all he wants but we know the truth. It all goes down next week. The Washington Capitals are in Toronto for the Stanley Cup playoffs and thats where Agent A will make her move. She’ll start off by making them think nothing is wrong. Maybe even post a video of herself watching the game from home. Just when she has them thinking they safe, she’ll […]

Archives This week all of the agents had to create Twitter polls based on the other agents characters and then participate in the polls created by others. Even though the class uses Twitter a lot, I’m still very new to it and don’t really know how it works so this was kind’ve hard for me. Luckily the polls themselves are pretty easy to create. Having the creativity to make a good one is another story. I decided to use Agent Smith as my inspiration. His bio says one of his achievements is never being detected by the enemy so I […]
