The "Times" is Changing... Me

I have really enjoyed reading the New York Times so far. At first, I was a little apprehensive at the thought of reading a newspaper online. I have always seen reading the paper as something that older or middle-aged adults do, not a young college student lie myself. But after reading it for about a week now, I have seen that it contains information that peaks my interest while being very informative on current issues today.
I have really felt a strong draw to the opinions section, where a specifically remember an article about testing being done for an AIDS vaccine in Asia. I also like the science section, partly because of my inner nerd, and also the stories on the main page are very interesting. The two stories that have stuck out the most in my mind were the one about the AIDS vaccine, and another about a pregnant woman who lost her baby when she came down with the swine flu. I think these caught my eye because I have a great interest in epidemiology and how to treat diseases. I find the fact that there is actually an AIDS vaccine in the works remarkable, and it is even being used in human trials.
While I have a great interest in the science aspect of this paper, I fell that I may be over looking another very important aspect in America today, politics. I have never found myself to be a very political person, so it is hard for me to get motivated into looking at articles on that subject; I feel that they will bore me. However, most of the political articles I have read are actually very interesting and flow nice enough that I am not ready for nap after three lines. Maybe reading the Times will change my opinion in the future about this topic so that I am much more politically involved.
