Artist choice for AB and Artist Profile

Thomas Rhett
-I am very highly considering Thomas Rhett as my artist for this project. I think he is a good choice for talking about issues of the world. He is a famous celebrity that believes in a strong non celebrity marriage which is cool. His family is big on volunteering with children in Africa and charities in the United States. Thomas has many good things I feel I can write about. I also very much so enjoy his style and sound of music.

Planning Day Notes

I think the habits that I'm using this semester in this class are working decently. I think staying caught up on my homework is a great success for me. I think that checking the blog often also has helped me.

I think I need to try to participate more in class. It can be hard to participate though because only some conversations are open ended but I do try to voice my knowledge some. I think I need to make sure I send in my assignments on time as well.
