maybe to do one more episode. Although this would very interesting to see as a fan of the show, I would highly advise against it if I were the a member of the cast. I think that having one last episode would ruin the entire series. There is now way that the cast could come back and recapture the magic from the past. Especially because of the incident with the actor that played Kramer had a few years back. I believe he was being heckled and then he made some racist remarks towards the heckler. I think that bringing back the cast and crew from Seinfeld would be just as disastrous as when Micheal Jordan came out of retirement and decided to play for the Wizards. All of the Seinfeld episodes were so great during the 1990's and if they do one last episode, people will be expecting even better, and I just don't think that is possible.

Reunion
I have seen many television shows throughout my 16 years of life, but none better than Seinfeld. Seinfeld is a sitcom about four people and their daily lives. It is one of the most popular shows in television history. I have many Seinfeld fans talk about a reunion of the cast and

The Pressure
Final Exams are a very big part of a students overall semester grade. This causes many students to have allot of stress and may feel a great deal of pressure to do well during this last week of the semester. As a junior at New Trier High School, I have taken a total of four semesters worth of Final Exams. And what I have noticed is that I have rarely had a final that changed my grade in a dramatic way. More often than not the grade I receive on my final Exam is roughly the same as my overall grade in the class. I think that doing al of your homework during the school year and studying for all of the tests and quizzes throughout the year is the best way to prepare for a final exam. Sure if a student studies hard during the week before finals it will improve his or her score, but no matter how hard and how long a student studies for i that week it will never make up for 4 months of slacking off. Students are feeling the pressure to do well in finals and I think that if you have been doing your best throughout the semester then you should have nothing to worry about.

What is the Problem??
Chicago Teams this season have let down the city with losses in a disgusting fashion. Each team has their own way to lose. The Chicago Bears had a great chance to make it to the playoffs this season and they blew it. They needed alot of help in order to make it during the last we
ek of the season. Both of the teams that needed to lose did and the Bears found themselves in a situation where if they won their last game then they would bew in the playoffs. Unfourtunatly they lost to a very subpar team in the Houston Texans and let down the city once again. Also, the Chicago Bulls had very high hopes before the season began after getting the number one overall pick in the NBA draft. Now, it does not even look like they are going to make the playoffs and have another dissappointing season. The Bulls have lost their last three games and are now looking at a very lousy 14-20 record. This is a huge problem for the city of Chicago and noone can seem to figure out how to fix this situation. Is it the coaching? Is it the players? Is it the management? All sorts of things have gone wrong for the Chicago sporting teams and please leave your comment if you think you know the answer.

Change is Occuring
In American Studies class today we were discussing TV Tokenism. Many believe that minorities, specifically African Americans, are not getting a fair shot at television and movie roles. These people feel that changes need to be made in order to solve this issue. But I feel that this change has already begun. 
The population in the United states consists of around 75% White Americans and approximately 12% African Americans. Looking at these statistics one should infer that the number of African American actors and actresses would be much less than Caucasian's. Studios are still criticized for having African Americans in supporting roles as opposed to the main characters. I do not agree with this criticizm because the studios are certainly making an effort to have African Americans in main roles. Just a few of many African American movie stars include names such as Will Smith, Hallie Berry, Eddie Murphy, Denzel Washington, Queen Latifah, and Chris Rock. Also, in the very popular television show Gray's Anatomy, two of the main characters are African American and another is Asian American. Although this is not the ideal situation for many minorities and this is still a major problem that needs to be addressed, our society is in the middle of a change and hopefully in the near future this problem will be solved.

A Government in Need of a Leader
The United States of America is in a very difficult situation and the government has many places that need their attention and support. At this time Barrack Obama is the president elect and he is waiting for his time to step into office. Because of the delicate spot that America is in there needs to be a president to the nation and make the decisions necessary to get our country back on track. Unfortunately our current President George W. Bush does not feel that he should play as much of an active role in the government now that Obama has been elected. At the same time Obama does not believe that he should take any action until he is officially named the president. During these two and a half months between Obama's election and him being placed in office we really have no leader of our nation. This is a huge problem because we are in a crisis and a president to lead the United States out of this jam is a necessity. I believe that the layoff period between the presidential elections and when the president elect is placed into office should be shortened by at least one month. This would hopefully contribute to solving the controversy of who should act as president an make the decisions to run the nation.
