Happy hump day!
Speaking of humping...
Hurricane Ike is about to rape the crap out of Houston. :(
I mean I'm glad its not coming here and stuff of course... but still. Can't it go to Mexico? It's not like anyone even LIKES Mexico, much less gives a crap if it floods a little.
(Sorry, Papa)
Anyway. I'm getting back into the swing of things... still absolutely LOVING my job... I work about 20 hours a week. I also applied for Student Ambassadors... its like the students who give campus tours and answer admission phone calls and stuff... I think it would be really fun. Plus great on my resume. Hopefully CLC will be starting again soon, and I want to join LUCAP (Loyola University Community Action Program)... So things are going to be getting pretty busy (and I couldn't be happier!)
Today we had one hell of a debate in my European and Comparative Gov't class... Since it's 9/11, we just stuck to the war in Iraq... and there are some DAMN FOOLS in that class. This one guy was like, "Well, we have to give Bush some credit because since 2001 we haven't had 1 attack on our soil." and then went on to make statements how the middle east is a breeding ground for terrorism and hate and they needed/deserved to be stopped.
Go figure, my hand SHOT UP. I didn't even wait to be called on:
"Just because we haven't had an attack in 7 years doesn't mean he's not a blithering idiot. I mean, Jesus Christ, before 9/11 we hadn't had an attack since PEARL HARBOR!!! It's not like 7 years is some huge record.
And also, making generalizations like that towards the middle east makes us just as ignorant and hateful and breeders of ignorance and hate, so shouldn't someone be bombing us as well?"
Verbatim. I even used the term 'blithering idiot'.
Lucky for me, the class is majority democrats, so no fear of being burned at the stake. (Unlike last semester's Christian Ethics course... what a friggin witch hunt that was!)
It just irritates me. Democrats are not the reason why the world hates America. Nuff said.
I know I have not been keeping in touch with anyone lately... Not trying to hurt any feelings, I'm just busy loving life. Work is great, school is wonderful, making lots of new friends (and getting closer with old ones)... And of course there's always SOME boy. :)
Now I have to go read the NY Times so that in my 2pm US Foreign Policy class, I will have some semblence of what the hell is going on in this world. It's a class of 6 people. It's kind of hard to get by without having any idea of what you're talking about.
I am so freaking hungry.
