Days At A Glance

Sunday

Sunday was a quite great and wonderful day to say the least. It started out with me saying "oh how wonderful today is, it is a great day to be alive and look at the bright sunshine and feel the wind". It was just that sort of that that everything seems all pleasant and well. Well it truly became a very pleasant and warm day. I managed to get up at an appropriate time and was able to study a bit of Biology. I wanted to get a ahead of the teacher a bit (well not actually because there are only 5 chapters on the test and the test is in October so really there is no getting ahead in that class). So I did that for about two hours and then after that came back to the room. In the room I spent loads of time listening to music and finding videos of movies on youtube (it is really silly how the companys will take off the first part of a movie but leave the other parts on). So yeah I managed to catch a few episodes of a show also (they were removed like the next day, and I am trying to figure out why?). After doing that I proceeded to play a bit of my game. It is really enjoyable yet sometimes boring at the same time. But it is really catchy when the story moves along for it is very emotional trying to save others from disasters in a time appropriate manner. That night I went to the Theater in the Commons again and found out we were showing El Mariachi (a movie I had never heard of) I didnt see it because of this but now I wish that I did because it was in honor of hispanic heritage month and I feel bad. However I did watch the Disney Channels program for this month (Cheetah Girls 2 in Spanish and with Spanish Subtitles). That night I was supposed to come back and study however I went over to a new friends room and we played smash brothers for a bit then I just sat there and talked.

Monday

Monday was one of those days that if you didnt wake up on time then your whole week would turn out a mess. However I woke up early and made it to class early. I was enchanted to be in class at a very appropriate time and with an appropriate level of energy. I did not doze off or fall asleep during lecture. Well it was a pretty interesting one for Religion in America. We discussed several cases in which other groups were trying to ascertain religious rights. For example Native Americans traditionally use a hallucinogen in their rituals and the state government had at first ruled against this practive however the Supreme COurt retorted in saying that the rights belonged to the states so the states themselves had to deal with it, so most of the states agreed that they could use it (the case arose because the Native American had taken it to work and was using too much). The other cases involved the Under God in the part of the pledge of allegience. I dont see why people take these cases to court when you arent forced to say it. People dont even think nothing of it. No one is going to stand there and listen, in fact you dont even have to say the pledge at all, you arent even forced. But alas people took it to court and they lost because of that reason. But I dont see how having it in the pledge affects an Atheist???They arent forced to believe in it!!!! (the person bringing the case up is and some say it is about atheist/humanist rights...)
Well apart from that class the day proceeded as normal. I came back to the dorm spent time playinig the game and studied a tiny bit. However after that I went to watch the football game (I think it was literally impossible for the Falcons to win in the SUperdome, could you imagine the consequences if they had won, the entire city would have been in an emotional slum). But yeah that is what I did yesterday. I have also been trying to discover all their is to the Honors Program that I would like to get into.
