-good week. i talk a lot about hating being a political science major, but there are a lot of times where i love it. a couple of classes in particular (persian gulf politics, east european politics, and latin america & the united states) are usually pretty enjoyable, mainly because it's not abstract concepts or anything. it's history. it's what we learned as a country. it's why the troop surge in '07 in iraq didn't work. it's why this iraq war didn't go as well as we thought it would. it's why communism was able to take hold in eastern europe after WWII. it's how CLOSE we were to nuclear world annihilation during october 1962. this is interesting stuff. and i'm learning it from people who are experts in their fields. knowledge is power.
-had a couple of great conversations with friends this week that i'm very thankful for.
-grace campus small group started this week, and i'm definitely looking forward to the rest of the semester. i miss being surrounded with people like that for accountability, wisdom, advice, etc.
-kenya WILL NOT LET GO OF ME.
-headed to birmingham this weekend, mainly to help out my good friend and former middle school choir teacher john with the simmons chorale lock-in tomorrow. i'm in charge of games, which is so unlike me. here's hoping i pull it off, and am able to make it all night.
-auburn will win by 20 this weekend. at least.
-sandra mccracken's new album "red balloon" is worth mentioning. also been listening to missy higgins, tv on the radio, elbow, frightened rabbit, and continue to love matthew perryman jones. i'm not kidding about him. check it out.
