Political Hurry – essay 2
Congressional RecessHow long does it take to pass a law in the United States? Depends on how important it is to political careers. “Terri’s Law” was written and passed into law in less than one week. Terri Schiavo, a brain damaged woman “living” with feeding tube support for 15 years in Florida, truly this example of a personal matter that garnered world attention is a great example. After failing to have a feeding tube reinserted…

The Golden Rejects
The Golden Rejects is the name of the writers group on campus. There are signs all over the school, with quotes from Shakespeare and others; the ad even tells of delicious cookies being served at each meeting. “The Golden Rejects meet in TLC (The Learning Center) every Tuesday night from 6 – 7P.M.“ Notice the “7P.M.” appears bold, I did that cause it appears bold on the ads. Last week, I arrived for this group…

Test Results
Received results from two of my midterms today. Not too bad, not exceptional, but certainly acceptable. ITE Intro to Computers: I received a 96 on Microsoft Word exam, 2 questions incorrect on the test. This test was multiple choice I’d do better showing what I can do in Word. PSY Psychology: I received a C. I realized what I forgot to include in the essay a day after I handed it in! 😉 Sure enough…

Coincidences
Amazing! Every time Monkey Boy (a.k.a George W Bush) makes a speech in favor of the “war” on “terror” 1. the U.S. SUDDENLY intercepts messages from one terrorist to another and or 2. a “specific threat” occurs in a major metropolitan area In a week or two on page 9 of the papers, in a little itty bitty section… we’ll hear this information is several years old… O what’s the use anyway? Who is John…

Garth?
On the radio this morning they said Garth Brooks was releasing a new single. They also said something about an album… I can’t find this news online, which is very annoying.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month
It’s that time of year when the nation, and me in particular, focus on early detection and prevention of Breast Cancer. See, my Mom is a breast cancer survivor… it truly means the world to me that she is still in this world. This year a former co-worker lost her life, after a long battle, to breast cancer. I don’t want to lose anyone else. “This year in America, more than 211,000 women will be…

School Update
Maybe it’s just me, maybe I will always get more than I bargained for. My first tatoo is much bigger than I had hoped for… covering up a very small tat the original intention… it truthfully covers up my left shoulder. That’s how I feel about Math 03, I signed up and knew I’d get “pre-Algebra”… we’ve got Geometry, and real Algebra… wow, more than I bargained for. My current Math grade is 90% (out…

Hoodlums and Vandals
Screwing with my bike while I’m in class. Moving the gears, adjusting the seat… I HATE KIDS.
