My name is Dusti Foster.  I finished my first half-marathon in Green Bay today, and I am completely exhausted.  So once again, I apologize if I am out of it during class on Monday!  I am taking four classes this summer (three of which overlap).   

My expectations of this course are to hopefully learn something that will help me in the future, and also to be able to apply the knowledge of politics to present-day life.

Let's see...my experience with government...I have taken an A.P. U.S. History class and a terrible philosophy class on democracy (no offense..it just was not my thing).  Usually I love learning about politics and government, but I really have to work at it.
