Are any of you still reading my blog, or have you decided that I've abandoned blog writing completely? I wouldn't blame you if you did, but I've been on a pretty long hiatus for any and all of these reasons: (1) I've been too lazy to update, (2) I've been too sleep-deprived to update, (3) I've been too up to my ass in work to update, and (4) I didn't want to do anything which required any semblance of mental effort over spring break!The lovely picture on the left is actually a picture I took over spring break at Gettysburg, PA. The monument was erected sometime in the 1970's to commemorate the Louisana soldiers of the battle; it was one of many that I really liked. I was amazed by the sheer size of the battlefield and the huge number of monuments and memorials there. I definitely plan on going back eventually, preferably with the American history knowledge that I had back in high school (I passed the AP US history test--it was one of the only subjects I cared about at all). I had trouble putting things into context on the battlefield. Oh well. I'll brush up on it before I go back, and hopefully things will be even more informative.
The rest of my break was nice. I just basically sat on my ass, ate Dunkin' Donuts (they are amazing! I should have gained 20 lbs.), played old video games, and slept an ungodly amount. But, before I knew it, I was back in the hell that is class. I'm definitely feeling the pain. Oh yeah, "Carpe Deez Nuts" was a random team name that I heard at Mellow Mushroom at trivia night on Wednesday; I think it's hilarious as hell. Anyway, only 5 more weeks of class left! In other random ass news:
Priority registration: the only time of the year that I really appreciate being in the Honors Program. Getting to register before 90% of other students is certainly a privilege that outranks other aspects of the program.
18 credit hours--never again! What was I thinking? Only three more weeks until I'm out of this hell! In the meantime, your help in keeping me sane would be much appreciated.
It's still hard to believe that one of my favorite South Park characters ever (Chef) has left the show in the name of defending Scientology; the writers of South Park are apparently "too intolerant" of religion (did he not figure this out years ago?). Anyway, it seems as if Isaac's decision arose more out of pressure from some other Scientology followers (Tom Cruise, that jackass) than from his own dislike of the way the show portrays religious or philosophical beliefs in general. Kiss my ass, L. Ron Hubbard.
Random much?
