Blog Assignment #1

This year in AP Government I really would like to learn how politics and government actually work. To be honest, I do not know much about how politics or government really work...both are usually just something on the news that I don't really pay much attention to.  This year I would really like to gain a greater understanding of politics and how everything really works.  My main reason for my somewhat disinterest in politics is because politics is mind-boggling to me.  You have to follow it so closely it seems like, and it seems like you have to know every detail to understand what people are really talking about.  Basically, I just really want to figure out what is going on so I can actually follow politics.  I have always been interested by what is going on in politics, but I have never been able to understand what is going on.
