Perhaps this class in blog form will be less invasive to those on facebook who don't care about it. Which is mostly everyone I think. After reaffirming a few times that the midterm will be "around the middle of the term," I was a bit surprised to realize that, the middle of the term has arrived.
The first gem of the night, a little dull and lackluster: When you say to write the essay so your mother could understand it, does that effect the language you use?
Number two: To professor: "Will you be using a specific rubric we can take a look at?"
Answer: "I don't know what that means."
Nixon was a white supremacist apparently. He felt that black people were inferior, but he established programs in order to make them better- Affirmative action
He just told a story about an old man who saw that he had a political scientist badge on once. and the old man said, are you a political scientist? Prof: yes. OM: Is the social security act constitutional? Prof: yeah. OM whips out pocket sized constitution: where does it say that?
Was this old man just carrying around a constitution waiting to bump into a political scientist?
im losing focus...this was a bit of a fail

I know no one checks this anymore
But I am going to write anyway. I figured that after my return, keeping this updated was a bit silly since no one outside the States reads this, and now we can text!
The reason I am writing is to keep my goals in check. I have 4 months before I want to move and SO much to do until then. I need to find a job, first. Or decide if I want to get a Masters, in which case I need to come up with some MONEY. But probably, a job. Then, I need a visa. Then a place to live. I just checked plane tickets (not a priority now but still) and they are only about $500-600, which is AWESOME.
In addition to that I want at least a 3.5 gpa this semester. Considering my habits of doing the bare minimum for school, I need to work really hard to get this.
Mike left yesterday and I am feeling a bit distant from everything- as though I'm just going through the motions. But Norwich is closer than ever (well, closer than it's been in a while) and I just need to keep running until I am done. I found a really good quote today when I was bumping around on youtube:
The best years of your life are the ones in which you realize your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny. (Albert Ellis)
These are the best years and I am going to make the most of them.
Anyway, nice catching up (if you are reading lol)
