Students of the World...Unite!

It is my sixth day in a row of posting on my blog! Yay!

Today I would like to start off my blog with some fun quotes...

“When the past no longer illuminates the future, the spirit walks in darkness” -Alexis de Tocqueville

History is a vision of God's creation on the move.
-Arnold Toynbee

“To go against the dominant thinking of your friends, of most of the people you see every day, is perhaps the most difficult act of heroism you can perform.”
-Theodore H. White

“When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.”
-Charles Austin Beard

“To a historian, libraries are food, shelter, and even muse.”
- Barbara W. Tuchman

So... Those were some quotes about History... I <3 History! and some quotes about friendship and perserverance... Back to your regularly scheduled program of Random info about my day...

Work:
Today was a pretty good day. I got to pick up one hour today and 4 on Friday, so I will have a twenty hour work week.YAY!
My craft program tonight had the biggest turnout of all of them. We made Flower Pens. I had something like 16 people including a teenage guy who came over to see if he could make one for the girl he liked.. He was so shy it was cute..

School:
My Russia class was pretty interesting. But it hit me rally hard today that by studying history, I can be desensitized to human suffering. Over a million people were murdered during the "Great terror"/ Ezhovshchina (Time of Ezhov) and in class it just comes out as just another number. But these were people who had families and loved ones and it made me really sad.

I got to have lunch with Ashley today which was fun because we don't get to talk as much this semester since we only have one class together.

In my US War and Depression class we were trying to come up with economically feasable ways to solve the depression if we were in charge at the time. One guy said genocide, and the assignment was then expanded to include a morality parameter. I decided to be devious and I started a bid for a new modified socialist government. I raised taxation and abolished profits. The teacher said that if we modified my ideas they might've worked. He disagreed with my commentray on how the New Deal had socialist leanings. Oh well. I really like his class because we can be totally wild and crazy and still learn alot.

I need to clean my room and my car...that is one gial I have for my Spring Break next week.

Oh well I should go to sleep so I can go to work in the morning...
