Well... the new semester has started and everything seems to be turning out alright. We have spent the last couple of days reorganizing our apartment. We rearranged all of the furnature in our living room and I feel that it gives us a more spacial (sp?), open look. I like it. I've hooked up surround sound (i.e. the system thing that Mom and Dad gave me) to our entertainment unit in the back room so now we can play x-box in style (whenever we play it). It is pretty sweet.
However due to the classes that I am taking, I don't know if I will have a lot of time to be doing video games anymore. I'm taking 4 history classes: American History to 1890, American Involvement in Vietnam 1945 - 1975, Middle-Eastern History from ~1890 - Present, and Asian Religion and Thought (focusing on Buddhism). I'm sure that I could get by this semester like I have in previous semesters, soing the absolute minimum required workload, but I am actually interested in a most of the classes that I am taking and I want to learn. Weird huh?
My Vietnam and Buddhism class have 9 books a piece. But I have sat down and started reading some of them and they are actually pretty interesting. I have learned that the Vietnam era was a very messed up one. The way that he works that class is cool, we have one general text book, and then we have, pretty much, 8 contradictory books that we read from different points of view. One is from an officer in the Viet Cong, another is from the Anti-war movement, another from a soldier in Vietnam, etc.
I am recieving training for my new job this next Thursday, and I will begin working this next friday. It will be good to get a little bit of income coming in so that I can maintain my checking account rather than have it slowly trickle and spiral downward.
Bush recently announced that there are now 10,252 casualties in Iraq, an 53% of those have serious injuries that have rendered them unable to return to duty (i.e. missing leg). I have not yet discovered any new thoughts or feelings about the war or anything, but with my new classes, I've learned that the Iraq is going to have democracy whether the people want it or not.
