dork. so what do you expect? i started reading i have one more lesson to do for my chemistry class. that is the best news i could give, right? and i still have an a in the class. novel, for me and organic chem, but i am a closet brainiacobama's platform because i figure i will have to vote for either him or ralph nader. to me ralph is a better candidate, i agree with a lot of what he says and i know he has my best interests at heart. i just remember someone asking him after those planes hit the world trade center (and pentagon, and field) what he would have done in response to that. his answer was a resounding, " it wouldn't have happened on my watch. i have been lobbying to get locks on cockpit doors since the 1980's." i started looking into it, and sure enough...ol' ralphie was looking out for those people who died on 9/11. i have to admit i was cynically reading the obama platform. he says he wants to keep no child left behind (a horrible piece of legislation if you ask me), but that it needs more funding. he wants math and science grads to want to graduate and teach (this has never been a strong pull for actual mathematicians and scientists--because there is no money and no lure of nobel prizes or other awards.) how does he plan on luring these people to teaching--more money of course. right. we are supposed to believe that our governmental body will pass legislation to give money to school. those kids can't vote. (cynicism--sorry.) he does want universal health care. (a plus, but something hillary has been working toward for years.) and he did talk about preventative medicine (hello--chiropractic... but scary with his health care for all, i have to start thinking about how much these potential companies will pay me to perform said chiropractic services). and he mentioned trying to keep social security. these are all things i am for. he proposed a pay as you go system for government so as not to run us into anymore debt, but i wonder how long that will last. a lot of feathers could be ruffled when certain things lose funding or get cut back. like i said, i read it with a lot of cynicism, but that is me. i got frustrated when i asked a few people why i should vote for him, and they would say, "he is smart." or "he wants change." george bush promised to unite our country, too, so you can understand my scepticism when i hear these things spouted off. also why do people say, "you just HAVE to vote for obama." tell me why i HAVE to. why is it not ok, to read the literature, and wait until running mates are named? why should i just know now? that isn't what this should be about. should it?
beauty school on house (on the flip side, i got a letter from my grandfather. he is about the cutest grandpa any one could ever have. he let's me know about his garden, and my aunt and uncle, and mom and dad. it is nice. we had jeremy's 31st birthday last night. we unknowingly got him the same video game his mom got him, but that is ok. also i have a few things to look forward to fun spot video game palace this weekend (if you haven't seen king of kong, fist full of quarters, get off your lazy bum and watch it. it is fabulous). also day of beauty with the girls at the keenejuly 14th. manicures, pedicures and facials for only 52$. amazing. i ordered bras today off the computer. so they should be here in a few weeks. (but i can look forward to it.) my final is scheduled for july 7th because on the 1st we get to go eat at wayne and joe'skaren and jack's friends who are wonderful landscapers and even better cooks). and tuesday i am also getting my eyebrows waxed for the first time. not such a bad life here, eh. that is my life in a nutshell for now. i will get back to you all soon.
love and more love from me.
