breaks

Thanksgiving break is here, well after i take a test at 1pm central. But is it really a break? Not really, it's just a week when class is not in session. I love how certain teachers like you to write papers and read books over break.

But actually, the book I have to read is "The World is Flat" by Thomas Friedman. I had this on my list to read prior to taking international economics. I guess this is business meets pleasure. Writing philosophy papers is a pain. No pleasure there.

On to think about Christmas break. No school work to do then. Auburn empties, leaving only the semi-locals like myself to casually stroll around town with the locals. It's better than summer in Auburn.

Now if only I could determine what to tell my mom what i want for Christmas...

celebration

anyone watch the election returns long enough to see a ton of cool scenes from all over? i think my favorite crowd -- picking grant park would be cheesy -- was the one gathered in front of the white house. the remote reporter said no one was being rowdy, just a jubilous crowd rejoicing. i can't recall what network we were on at the time, but the pundit said something to the effect "if you have been to washington and stood at the fence to see the white house, this is where they are." i havent been to washington in eleven years, but was taken back instantly with that comment. to be taken back to such a fond memory was neat.

i'm off to get as many newspapers as possible today. i know i can get oa news, ledger, gump ad, bham news, usa today and nyt.

side note, can we move elections to friday or saturday so it's more suitable for parties. last night made me wish i lived in a high energy place like dc, or nyc, or chicago, to join in celebration...but not go to work the next day!

the dark side

nope. not star wars. not a secret, well sorta secret, killer like dexter. no coin like twoface. i'm talking about the dark side that comes earlier now that the time changed. night time = dark side.

i like the new hours for darkness. it was wierd getting off work at 3ish yesterday and see dusk at normal off work time of 5ish. it means that, well, it means i'll be working at night during the week.

school work is meant for day time. the library during the day is way better than at night. more energy, people who actually get shit done are there. i mean, a lot of productivity at night, but the social scene is bigger. more groups of people being told to be there with out much interest is actually being a student.

maybe next time i'll tell ya a bigger reason why night and day are so neat, but for now that stays within my personal 6ish inch blogosphere...my skull.

get out and vote tomorrow. i think obama has it in the bag, but i'm hoping i, and other swing voters, can help obama turn georgia blue.
