My internet connection is free wireless in my neighborhood and it is not working right now or my computer can’t connect, so I’ll probably be really posting this later tonight. Welcome to reading my thoughts that I share with you on the internet. Haha. Anyone in the world can see this. All around the globe, everyone can make their own assessment about me based on what I write here. They’ll probably all think the same thing… “This girl’s funny!” Just kidding, more like “What a weirdo!”

Well I was inspired to create an account on this site because I have been reading Baghdad Burning, Riverbend’s blog. (Riverbendblog.blogspot.com) I was previously a Livejournal user. But I want a fresh start.

Reading Riverbend’s blog, the first couple years of it in the book, Baghdad Burning- Girl Blog from Iraq, has really opened my eyes to a lot of things that go on in Iraq and how so many people are suffering unnecessarily. Who knows what will happen to the future of that nation.

Even though a lot of the things I read about in the book that are happening to the Iraqi people makes me sick to my stomach, I would rather read about it and know, than not know what is going on or have any idea what it is like to live there, and be ignorant. Yea, they say “ignorance is bliss” but you can only ignore the circumstances for so long…

My group in Women’s Studies class gave a presentation where each of us talked about a theme that we followed in the book, and I talked about the unemployment. It’s really sad, because there are so many people out of work that are such brilliant minds. But the jobs aren’t available because so many are done by foreign companies.

There’s so much more I’d like to say about it all but I have to go pretty soon. Today I set up my bedroom again how it was before because the Shenanigans are going to begin this weekend. It will be nice, I think, to not live alone… It’s kinda weird sometimes.

I also had Biology lab today… And it would’ve helped me today if I had gotten a better grade on our second exam. I’m just really not interested in studying this term. My life revolves around school…

Actually I do enjoy my classes sometimes. Not math. But Women’s Studies is interesting, I mean sometimes it’s really intense, or some nights I’m just not into it because it’s the longest class I’ve ever had.

I had never seen the movie Eyes Wide Shut and I began watching it last night. I am getting better about making it through a whole movie in one sitting, but I didn’t finish it last night, I fell asleep.

Movies to watch, friends to see, music to listen to, homework not to do… =]
