At a glance:
Hours worked: ~10
Cups of tea consumed: 6
Number of times kitchen flooded: 2 (and there is still no sign of the dishwasher repairman)
Phone calls made: 5< n < 10
Hours of movie/clips watched: ~4
Items destroyed by animals other than human: 0
Number of disputes with roommate: 0
All in all: so far, so good. Now let's see what happens when classes start on the 28th.
Had to go in for work yesterday as Friday was VERY windy and we couldn't plant anything (and by "windy" I meant the roadcrew telling me I have to take a detour because "the trees are coming down and you want to be careful"). Still getting to know my coworkers (three, so far), and am reaching the conclusion that you meet much more interesting people at work than at school (though all of them do go to school here).
In a series of comments and conversations religion and homosexuals again surfaced. One of my coworkers reaccounted how she met one of her friends while the friend was dating a guy and now the friend's dating a girl. This coworker grew up in the middle of the desert and has referred to herself as a Christian and a red-neck. She said something along the lines of that 'she doesn't approve of what her friend's doing, but if her friend is really..you know...she's not going to stop being friends of her because of it.' Which then made me think of Annie's grandmother, who's convinced that Annie's going to hell because she's studying evolution biology. It begs to differ between the ideas OF religion and the ideas IN religion.
I repeat: I have nothing against religion in general, or anything specific type of religion. I think that it'd be wonderful to have that much faith in something but frankly, religious fanatics tend to scare me.
Meanwhile, from NY Times we give you this article:
Spy Agencies Say Iraq War Worsens Terror Threat
By MARK MAZZETTI
A stark assessment has found that the American invasion and occupation of Iraq has helped spawn a new generation of Islamic radicalism and that the overall terrorist threat has grown since the Sept. 11 attacks.
Give the agencies a medal, will you?
