    Maybe posting my opinion on some debate topics will help put me to friggin sleep...
    Lately I've been thinking about politics and the issues that are inevitably brought up during presidential campaigns. In this journal, in order to try and make me tired, I will type a few words that can only begin to express what I think of these issues.

    1) Abortion

    In my opinion, this is THE dumbest reason to vote for a candidate on the planet. As right or as wrong as abortion may be, it has no place in an election. Candidates have been using this moral issue to gain support for years, and after they're elected what has come out of it? Oh yeahhh... nothing. Personally, I think the only circumstance under which an abortion should be legal is if someone is sexually assaulted against their will, and even in this situation it is still questionable. However, if two people know what they're getting themselves into, then boo-hoo for you. Should have thought about that before you did anything.

    2) Gay Marriage

    Regardless of my opinion, or anyone elses, this issue is not important when choosing a candidate. As with abortion, the chances of this being federally regulated are slim to none. Not a good reason to vote for someone. On that note, I don't really know where I stand... according to the Bible BEING gay is not wrong, however anything beyond BEING (i.e. the actions associated, no explanation necessary) is wrong. Besides that, I don't feel the need to concern myself with things that don't kill/hurt me or others. This will be left for the States to decide, as well as abortion.

    3) Education

    In my eyes this is probably one of the most important issues in any elections. A country full of uneducated people has but one direction to go... down. You can have all the resources and technology in the world, but if no one knows how build upon that and use it then what good does it do. Investing in education is the best investment anyone can make. From the things I've heard about public education the past couple of years, this area is looking bad.

    4) Guns

    There's a reason our founding fathers put an ammendment in the Constitution that gives us the right to bear arms. The act of removing the right to bear arms is only going to hurt one group of people... law-abiding citizens. Criminals will still have guns, and even if they didn't, they'd still find a way to kill someone if they wanted to. This may actually invoke a killing device even worse than guns (i.e. bombs, chemicals, radioactive materials). Bad guys are creative, too.

    5) The War

    We have ourselves in a pickle. We're in, and I believe that in order to honor the troops that have already been killed we should stay in until the job is done. A timetable is a stupid idea. That's like saying, "Hey Osama, all you have to do is hide until such and such a date, and then we'll be out of your hair." Pulling out right now will only make things worse in the long run. The world is becoming a turbulent place, and I can see a couple flare ups like this in other parts of the world in the near future... possibly North Korea and Iran. Both countries are conducting extremely questionable activities.

    6) Legalizing Marijuana.

    Who cares... everyone who already wants to smoke it smokes it. Not like it's stopping them. Alcohol is legal, and people do stupid things with it all the time. However, it was even worse when it wasn't legal because it encouraged a number of illicit activities, such as bootlegging. At least when something is legalized you can tax the living daylights out of it. It would still be unattractive to people who wanted to stay away from it, the government would make some money from taxing it, and it would cut down on illicit drug sales. There's not much of a reason NOT to legalize it.

    7) Government Provided Public Health Care... In order to actually speak my mind on this, I would need about 20-30 pages... but I'm too lazy to do that right now.

    Two words. Bad idea. If you want to get a really mediocre health care system, this is your one way ticket. There are a plethora of bad things that I could list about this, but instead I'll just name a few. In order to have ANY type of functional public health care system, the government would have to spend billions upon billions of dollars. Not like we don't have a huge debt to pay off already. In order to accomplish this we would see an enormous increase in taxes. On top of that, you would basically have to "pick a number and wait" for any medical attention, whether it be a check-up or a full blown organ transplant. Not only would you have to pick a number and wait, but you would also not get the surgeon of your choice... which doesn't exactly help your chances of survival. And as a final kicker, not one federal agency that there is today runs close to what I'd call efficiently. Take a look at FEMA during Katrina. Now imagine that kind of organization with a health care agency.

    Our lives would most likely be affected in the following ways: Increased taxes due to having to pay for medical expenses incurred by people who don't exactly keep themselves healthy (i.e. smokers, drug users, obese people who do not attempt to change their habits before going to the doctors... notice how I said attempt to change, obese people who have tried to do something for themselves have a right to seek medical attention, although this should truly be a VERY small percentage), long waits for medical attention, mediocre medical attention, and a decreased amount of good doctors because the smart people who are in it for the money but are very good at what they do would go elsewhere because of the government regulated practice. Pretty sad way of looking at it, but that's life.

    And since it would basically be "Free" to people who wanted it, there would be a large increase in the number of people that go to the doctor for stupid, paranoidal reasons or to get some medication that they truly do not need and incurr huge expenses on tax payers for pointless things.

    This system would inevitably start pissing off everybody but the people who abused it, and believe me... there will be people who abuse this beyond the definition of abuse. They'd have to make a new word for it.

    8) Death Penalty

    This should be abolished for one reason; It's about 10,000 times more expensive to run through all the rediculous steps to get someone executed than throwing them in prison for the rest of their lives. Personally, I think spending time in jail is worse than just dying right away. Besides that, it's a huge burden on tax payers for a convicted killer to go through the courts about 500 times for prosecution, appeals, and the like.

    Last one... I promise... I'm getting tired.

    9) Alternative energy, oil, etc.

    Until we find a source of energy that does not revolve around a combustion reaction, we will not "decrease" global warming or anything related to CO2 emmisions. Ethanol, oil, biodiesel and anything else we have on the table like that right now all revolve around combustion. Ethanol is actually almost worse than oil just because of the necessary steps to produce it and then burn it. There aren't many things that look promising... but something that would be rediculously great for energy use would be the ability to harness nuclear fusion. Wind and solar aren't bad either, but there's not enough produced to greatly reduce the need of oil as of now.


    Bonus: Congress

    Does Congress have anything better to do than mingle with a couple baseball players in a steroid scandal? Or concern themselves in any way with sports in general? I have an idea... how about Congress concentrates on the less important issues like the economy, war, crime, or anything else that could get someone killed or financially mamed. I know it might be asking for too much, but maybe they could take some time out of their busy schedule for these less important, boring subjects.

    I am now tired... if this entry made less and less sense as you went down the list it wouldn't surprise me.

    4. I'm a very angry person in the morning.
    5. I do my best work under pressure (usually), which is good because I procrastinate.

    Fun Stuff...
    It's 4:30 in the morning right now... I'm having trouble not falling asleep on my desk... this sucks... I am FREAKING DONE with procrastinating... this SUCKS!@#$I!#@OI$JROFAIWEJOFIJQ$#WE)ORIJ!UJ@#$R()FJASDO)JGIFWEAR)(IJEFWSC DAMN....

    Stupid engineering project... laisjdjworijoi
    No, actually it was stupid me for procrastinating for 2 weeks... you wouldn't think finding out where the hell a ball will roll to in a hallway would be that hard...

    I think I just learned more physics tonight than I learned all of last year... and that was a joyous experience...

    I used a freaking conservation of energy formula for a magnetic marble whose friction increases (you can even use integrals to calculate that) due to attracting iron oxide particles that are present on the floor as it rolls, therefore throwing off its moment of inertia and rendering a theoretical calculation all but useless... plus another 30 variables after that

    hmmmm... I wish Barron would have taught me that
    ... oh boy
    I'm done... night

    Coolest thing ever
    I just found out about THE coolest thing ever that you can do on your computer. If you want to find a specific thing on a page, internet included, all you have to do is hit the buttons 'control f' at the same time and a search window pops up. Then you put the key words in and voilah, what you're looking for is highlighted for you.

    I just thought it was such a cool thing that EVERYONE should know.

    If you knew about this before, please feel free to call me an idiot for not knowing about it.

    Today stinks... tomorrow will make everything better
    Engineering exam tomorrow... not cool... the teacher's need to make the material in that class equivalent to a 400-level class = ridiculously annoying.

    Tomorrow, after the exam, everything will be better... theoretically.

    Kinda random, but I always thought that once I got to college I'd overeat and get fat... totally opposite. I did gain a teensy bit of weight (nothing remarkable)... but I'm also usually hungry all the time because I can never drag myself out of bed to eat breakfast, or I'm so busy doing other stuff that I can't get around to the dining hall... also very annoying.

    Dang. I need to step it up and get to that cafeteria.

    Guitar Hero 3 comes out Saturday night... and I will be at gamestop waiting. INSANELY PUMPED FOR THAT GAME!!!! WOOO! My family is coming down for that weekend, and that means me and my brother Chris can jam all Saturday night!

    Next Semester...
    So I just met with my advisor and planned my schedule for next semester... it looks like this.

    1) Organic Chem 2
    2) Organic Chem 2 Lab
    3) Calc 2 (most failed class... yay)
    4) Engin 100 (computer programming... oh, boy)
    5) Economics... a little more intense than Beranek =)

    I'm pretty pumped to see how it goes. I like orgo so that shouldn't be bad at all... andddd I don't really like how they teach calc here, but it doesn't matter because I pretty much need to take it here. My adviser said that people who take calc 2 elsewhere (at least somewhere that doesn't teach the same style and intensity as here) come back and do poorly in calc 3. Fun, fun... I wish that Northern offered the stupid thing.

    I hope I can actually learn how to program a computer. That will be... interesting. And I guess economics is required for my major so I might as well take it now and be done with it.

    Other than that I get to come home this weekend, and I am PUMPED... until then I have to start on a report that is due tonight and I have not typed one word yet. Wow, even I didn't foresee myself procrastinating this bad.

    Holy Cow... Long Week
    I feel like doing a 'you when you're a blank when...' list right about now...

    You know you're an engineering student when...
    1) Weekends aren't really weekends... they're just days you can hold longer team meetings! =)
    2) You look forward to going to 1.5 hours of calculus over your engineering course.
    3) The only thing left to do is laugh because something seems so impossibly vague to solve.
    4) You have to buy more than a book, some paper, and pencils for supplies
    5) The words 'taking a nap' are foreign to you

    ... those are the top signs of being an engineering student

    It felt like 100 at the game today... i know it wasn't, but it might as well have been.

    I can't wait until fall break so I can actually catch up on something besides annoying busy work... (aka sleep). And I was SHOCKED that Gladstone beat Esky yesterday, which is even better than expecting to beat them because it makes Esky feel terrible. =)

    Pointless update
    I had an organic chemistry exam today... odd that I actually like that class... alot.

    Everyone should download 'Hotel California'... the beat is very relaxing... =) Not so sure about the lyrics. (I don't really care though)

    Oh yes. I'd like to elaborate on how good of a teacher Mr. Hubbard actually WAS! The calc teachers here are horrible (the way they teach it, anyway)... they put in 10,000 variables before they actually show you an example with numbers, if they even get to numbers at all! And I've come to find out that Mr. Hubbard pretty much taught us calc 2 in high school. Not the really crazy parts... but most of the concepts. Point being that Mr. Hubbard could probably teach all the calc classes here (possibly even better). Can't wait for calc 2... it's the most failed class here! (it really is) =) And it's even better because I don't think Northern offers it in the summer, so I might be stuck taking it here!

    COLLEGE! WOO!
    Hmm... This entry will probably contain random things that I have observed over the whole one month of my college tenure.

    1) NO DRAMA!!!! =) YAY!!! It's such a beautiful thing. Although at times it was quite entertaining in high school to be a spectator. But I don't have to hear someone cry about something as stupid as losing lip gloss on a daily basis anymore (come to think of it, that may have been one of the better reasons).

    2) The teacher's aren't as bad as everyone says that they'll be. For one, they're actually quite nice about teaching. From what I had heard I thought they were going to be too stuck up to teach a bunch of ignorant dopes about the material that they had spent their entire life around. I love all of my instructors, and one of them has a HILARIOUS sense of humor (he runs on caffeine everyday, too). But the GSI's can kind of be a pain...

    3) FREEDOM! It's nice not having to go to the same class every day... it makes it a lot easier to get up in the morning. Plus you don't have to do alot of homework, which in turn will probably bite me in the ass but I can live in ignorant bliss until that happens.

    4) Downloading music is a lot more dangerous at college... I downloaded a bunch of songs the first week or two, but now I don't because I've heard of 3 or 4 people getting caught with just ONE SONG and getting charged like $200,000. Needless to say I'm kind of paranoid about it now.

    5) The vernacular is a little different than it is in Gladstone... I no longer feel awkward if I actually use my vocabulary or talk about some cool nerdy science thing, which usually made me feel like a wierdo in HS.

    6) True nerds do still exist! I thought that the dungeon's and dragon's type nerd was extinct... boy was I wrong. My poor engineering professor has to hear about 'laying seige to a castle' on a daily basis.

    That wraps up part 1 of possibly many random, useless blogs about college.

    Sweet football...
    I actually sleep now since i'm not at home and my brother chris doesn't keep me up until 4 or 5 in the morning every night... but i kind of miss it too. oh well... =(

    i like all of my classes... and i have a crazy professor (crazy in a really good way) for one of my classes. he makes fun of himself and runs around the room and screams on occasion to show us how he feels when he's nervous.

    other than that... the football team is off to a great start... yup

    ORIENTATION!!! WOO!
    So yesterday I got back from orientation and i figured i'd give the lowdown on how it went.

    The drive down there wasn't too bad seeing that my mom drove, and i slept! We stayed at a Holiday Inn the night before because we had to be there for 8:00 the next morning. We got to Eastquad to check in and everything and as soon as i got off the bus to walk in i knew the heat was going to be a nightmare... and i was more right then i wanted to be. The dorms have no AC, and there are a couple hundred people and heat builds up pretty fast... so staying in the dorms when it's hot out plain sucks. And the best part is that it was around 90 out by the time it was 10:00 each morning.

    We had an awesome counselor named Byron. There were 4 or 5 other ones, but he was by far the coolest. It was really funny because he was down to earth and normal, not to mention a little ghetto (he loved wearing a du rag), but he had the craziest test scores ever. For some reason someone asked him what he got on his tests to get into college and he had a 35 on his ACT and a 2250 on his SAT's... nutz! He had also been accepted to Stanford and Yale, but chose Michigan.

    After we checked in we went and got lectured on everything we needed to know... which was EXTREMELY boring and lasted for about 3 hours. Then we went to lunch. Placement exams were next and everyone had to take chem first. I didn't remember everything very well but i thought i did at least okay on it. After that, just for a lot of giggles, i took the Spanish placement test even though i hadn't taken any in high school. It was terrible because there was a listening portion and i was beyond confused when they were speaking it. I was one of the first ones done because after a while i just started making patterns with the scantron bubbles.

    We ate dinner and then went to more boring lectures about campus life and all that good stuff. Then they brought us downstairs in Eastquad and had us watch a play about things that are bound to happen to you during your time at school. I'd have to say that some of it was EXTREMELY funny... like one skit involved a GSI (graduate student instructor) with a class and he was chinese and no one could understand him... it was great, and what made it even better was that he dressed up with short purple shorts, a pirate shirt and had a mongolian beard.

    The night was horrible... it was SOOOO HOT and i haven't felt so disgusting in a longggg time. A shower lasted for about 20 minutes and then you were disgusting once again.

    Woke up, reluctantly, ate breakfast and then went to more boring lectures... that day was even worse because i was tired and it was hard just staying awake. However, the psychology professor's part was pretty interesting and i think i want to take that class sometime. He taught cognitive psych and it's actually really cool. That boring block lasted some 4 hours and then since i was with the engineering students we got to go eat on north campus at Bersley. I WANT THAT FREAKING DORM!!! its kitchen is air conditioned, has the best food, and it probably has the best rooms.

    Advising was next and all that was basically talking about required classes, meeting with some current students for advising, and meeting with your adviser that you're supposed to keep for the duration of college. It actually wasn't too bad. And i was kind of shocked when i met with my adviser because i thought i had done so-so on the chem test but i guess i did really really REALLY good according to her... hmmm.. well anyway i took the highest chem they wanted us to start with... out of all 2 choices, and it happened to be something i have heard some nasty reviews about: ORGANIC CHEMISTRY!!! AHHHH!!! And then came the hilarious part... her words were something to the effect of,"oh, and you placed into the first semester of spanish" and she had this sort of look on her face that was like "what the hell kind of score is that?" haha. she started cracking up when i said i had never taken it and told me that that's what she hoped had happened... i think i wound up with a negative score because it's a 1/3 point off for each wrong answer.

    After that we had dinner and then whoever was in any MLC's had to go to their respective meetings... i got into UROP... which is pretty cool because i get to pick out a research project and help out a professor thats trying to do something groundbreaking... hopefully. Next was trying to 'backpack' our classes... which is pretty much picking out your classes and scheduling them accordingly, but not actually registering for them. We saved that for the third day.

    I was hoping to God that i got the classes i had backpacked the night before because in about 3 of the 4 there were only 2 available spots! But before that we had the funniest night on EARTH!

    So going back to the first night we stayed at the dorms some of the people i met and i went around the town and checked everything out. I guess there were a couple frat parties going on that night too and some people went and had a good ole time there.

    Well on the second night a couple people went in search of frat parties. When they came back it was absolutely hilarious. One kid had passed out in the elvator and 2 other people that were drunk found him when they opened the elevator and he had no clue what was going on after he woke up. The 2 other drunks happened to be a football player that made the team (he was a BEAST!) and a shorter kid. This is when i almost cried from laughing. Supposedly one of the kids that went with the 2 of them was coming back from the frat party and had to go to the bathroom, so he started going on a tree right in the middle of town. As he was doing this a cop drove by and SLAMMED on the breaks. The kid just booked it and no one had seen him since. The short kid was so drunk too... he kept saying,"oh man dude! I AM SO WASTED!!"... it was hilarious... these typed words don't explain the laughter. They wound up going back to the party 3 times and got in around 6 in the morning. The rest of the dorm decided to try pulling an all-nighter for no reason. Me and my room mate finally said screw it and went to bed around 4:30.

    Moving on... i had to get up at 7 because i was an engineer and we had to be at North campus to register for classes by 8. We barely made it to the bus on time and got to North campus... I was kind of worried because i didn't know if i was going to get into the classes i had picked out, which would suck because it had taken hours the night before to even pick them out and have them work! Long story short... there were about 2 openings left for 3 classes i wanted and i got all of them... it was crazy too because as soon as i clicked the button 2 of the classes were full! talk about getting lucky...

    I really don't feel like typing a ton more so i'll try and keep it short(er)... after that we were basically done so i went and tried to find out if i had housing yet. I don't have any yet and when i found that out i was IRATE! they're like,"call back in a week or 2"... ok, i'll be lucky to have housing in college. Then my mom came and got me and i picked up some of the books i needed. I got the books i needed for Organic Chemistry and Calc... i had 5 books for 2 classes that are a semester each... WOW! and the prices, even thoug they were used, was INSANE! It's kind of interesting too because my chem books are written by the professor that teaches it... the organic chemistry book the 1120 pages... for a semester... oh, boy...

    Got on the road, drove home, and that was that.

    You Are Paper

    Crafty and creative, you are able to adapt freely to almost any situation.
    People tend to underestimate you, unless they've truly seen what you are capable of.
    Deep down, you're always scheming and thinking up new plans. Your mind is constantly active.
    You are quite capable of anything you dream of. You can always figure out a way to get what you want.

    You can wrap a rock person up in your sheet of trickery.

    A scissor person can sneak up and cut you to pieces.

    When you fight: No one can anticipate your next move

    If someone makes you mad: You'll attack them mercilessly when they're unprepared

    So... today i come home from hockey and i'm not feeling the greatest... ate some mac n cheese, drank some gatorade and just wanted to go to bed... my mom says 'hey why don't you ever get the mail when you get home from hockey?'... i'm like ahhh i'm too tired and don't feel like it. so she went and got the mail and i was in the kitchen while my brother chris was being a retard as usual... then my mom walks in and jumps like 3 feet in the air, i've never seen a lady jump that high in my life. turns out i got accepted to U of M!!! WOOO!!! my mood = happy/relieved... i'm pumped!

    Current Mood: DeD tired but happy

    Shots...
    well today was the day i had to get my meningitis and tetnis shots... and needless to say i hate needles. i thought i was going to pass out like a big baby... but i didn't. the nurse asked me if i thought i was going to faint but i stuck it out, and i was proud of myself (no matter how sad that sounds) haha... it was still a little freaky though. i could feel her injecting the stuff into my arm and then it started spreading and it didn't feel to great. but the sweet part about the whole thing was that i got to skip hockey! wooo! can't complain about that... but yeah, my biggest fear on earth is getting shots... and its pathetic so thank god i don't have to get them more often.

    Current Mood: tired

    High School... definitely over rated
    some of you may know what i'm talking about... but i think that it was alot more fun back when i was a little kid to play sports than it is now. now it just sucks... coaches make it seem like its a damn business and you have to be 'all serious'... all i hear is that its all about winning and putting fans up in the stands (which is why teams begin to suck, because you no longer have fun). it just makes me realize how much i won't care when all of this high school sports bullcrap is over... but then again i'll miss the game i loved as a kid...

    P.S. - this post was not intended in any way to start drama.

    P.P.S. - that last comment was not directed at instigating anything, nor was it intended to.

    RaNdOm ThInGs... nOt ReAlLy ThOuGh
    hockey's been going pretty well... our first game's tuesday here against marquette!!! EVERYONE BETTER GO!!! although it could get pretty ugly... but i'm keeping the glass half full on this one... so i say go! totally off the subject, i read a funny engineering quote one day... it goes something like this, "a pessimist looks at the glass half empty. an optimist looks at the glass half full. an engineer looks at the glass and says "that glass is twice as big as it should be."... hillarious, i know

    i'm super tired right now... nothing new, just thought you should know.

    i'm done with the stupid ACT... forever... that thing never ceases to piss me off one way or another... it didn't turn out as good as i wanted to, but at least it didn't make me irate like the last two.

    turkey is good... along with mashed potatos, and corn... and joey harrington actually plays good with miami, i watched him on thanksgiving and he was slappin the crap out of his old team with his blazing rocket precision passing.

    as you may have noticed my thoughts are all over the place right now... so don't think i'm crazy, i just read that last paragraph and it makes me look like i'm nuts

    hangin out with katie tomorrow is gonna be SWEET! she's comin over my house! (mark that on your calender, i hate hanging out at my house haha). we're gonna play every video game i have... and then maybe even shoot some pucks downstairs, and maybe even watch some tv and a movie. food will inevitably be devoured during that time...

    almost forgot... menominee plays tomorrow and its on channel 33 at 4:30. i suggest you watch it, it'll actually make me feel better about losing to them 43-0... a little, at least.

    well i'm off to bed, cause i'm dead

    Current Mood: tired
