| I have forgotten how much i really like this weblog thing...well mostly because i dont really get a chance to sit at a computer for an extended period of time. Anyway for those of you who know adam mull and for those of you who dont i am going to respond to his entry for today. if you would like to read his entry check out mullw. First of all i totally disagree with the his opinion that GW was a wuss to respond the way he did to the 9/11 attack. I think that GW was wise to wait without acting irrationally and out of anger. Yes the taliban, osama bin laden and any terrorists involved should be brought to justice...there is no doubt about that. However, if we react without careful consideration of the repurcussions of our actions we are no better than they are. I also disagree that democracy should be thrown out the window, and that we should get back to some sort of monarchy system and that having representatives is useless and ultimately too humanitarian or politically correct...well to some extent i believe that being politically correct may not be terrible. For a while i thought that being pc was stupid...and i still think you can get too carried away with it...but i do agree WHOLEHEARTEDLY with respecting other people...God has created us differently and i think that we should respect and appreciate the differences that God has created. For example it is easy to look at some indians from india and say...well they are just too different from me...i think their clothes are dumb and they dont know english so they must be stupid...or you can take the chance to get to know the indians and realize that they are a complicated people with a very interesting history/religion that has made them who they are today. I dont think this means you cannot have your own opinion, but i think that when making your opinions you should take the opportunity to be well informed of the subject of which you are making the opinion. And so what if people disagree with you...they are entitled to their opinion too...so while i disagree with adam...that's ok b/c he probably disagrees with me too...and we can still be friends :) | | |
| Well, Here I am at school again although I am not at NCState anymore...I am now a student at Columbia International University and I must say it is a drastic change from NCSU....we're talking 30,000 students down to 1,000! and one thing that has got me thinking back to high school are the class sizes...I mean in high school they always made such a big deal out of college size...they always said that if you go to a big university you will feel like a number and have lots of huge classes but if you go to a small school you will have small classes and get to know a lot more people...well i have found this to be completely backwards! and it makes me wonder what else they lied to me about in high school...I mean at NCSU i always had small classes and knew lots of people...my profs were usually very helpful and i certainly never felt like a number. Now granted I have only been at CIU for about 1 week but so far every single class has like 200 people in it and while i have met a lot of really nice people, i havent really had much of a chance to really talk to any of them on more than a superficial level...Isn't it ironic?? sorry that just came out...well i know that after a while i will get to know people but i just thought i would use this as a vent for my frustration...from now on i am going to advocate telling the truth to kids who are thinking about where to go to school...yes small schools are great but large schools are great too! Well on an up note...i am going to a sonic flood concert tonight and that should be fun :)and a small side note...living off campus and having my own room is AWESOME! well peeps...until later.... | | |
| Wow! I can't believe the semester is already over!! It went by so fast although i must say that during the semester it felt like it was going so slowly....funny how that works...well i have moved all my stuff out of my dorm room and i turned my keys in...i am back home now...i miss all my college friends...i have decided to become an artist...today i bought a book with art ideas in it...and i have been experimenting all night. I have decided that if my suitemate alea can be so creative...so can I...well i can try anyway. Painting is fun and therapeutic even if the things i paint arent museum worthy...and i guess that's what its all about...what i get out of it...it doesnt really matter if anyone else appreciates my art...it matters whether I do. tomorrow i am going to face the overwhelming task of organizing all my stuff and cleaning and organizing...i cant wait....i am gonig to pile everything up in the middle of my room and hopefully throw a lot of stuff away...i love throwing stuff away it feels so good!! Summer is here!! i am so relieved to be done with my exams!! i never thought i would be through with them and then i was...i slept until 1:30 today i was so shocked...i am assuming it was the result of several days of being deprived of sleep...sleep :) ahhh it was so nice to sleep and i am going to get to do it again tonight....i cant wait...oooo i think i am going to go do it right now ;)...my bed is calling....see you all tomorrow... | | |
| Let me just say i am so sorry i didnt get any entries out over the weekend...i have just been so busy...well today procrastination is the name of the game...and right now i am winning!! yippee!! i have finally found the thing i am good at! I knew i would find it one day :) But seriously, what is it that makes procrastination so enticing to us? I mean by now in my life i know it doesnt get me anywhere except extremely exhausted the day after i stay up until the wee hours of the morning finishing a paper that i didnt start until that night....i mean its a story i know like the back of my hand; i know i will end up droopy eyed the next day and yet i still manage to ward off my papers until the last minute almost every time. So here i am again the night before a paper is due...a french paper no less...i dont even get to write in english! and have i started? NO! it is now 11:30 and i think i am about to go to IHOP...how can i work on a paper if i am hungry?? Besides, this week is dead week....i should definitely start out by feeling dead...which is how i will feel tomorrow after staying up all night working on this paper. Well i think i have rambled on enough about my paper and managed to procrastinate the actual writing of my paper another 10 min. so i guess i will go work on it... | | |
