Most needed update

Well I have again neglected my blog, every time I sit down to write on it something seems to get in the way.

School started already, we're just about two weeks into classes.

I've been excited about this year for a long time already. Since the day I realized that campus was very very lame without all the awesome people (say...the third week of summer), I have been awaiting the start of the school year.

It seems as though there are going to be many amazing things happening this year. It's one of those weird feelings you get, like knowing there's going to be a storm. I can just sense that lives are going to change in amazing and spectacular ways. I'm letting God take the whole year and just mess with it, see where He takes us.

I have my coffee and my music, so work should go by pretty quick. I'm hoping that this year I've balanced everything pretty well so as to not get too busy and stressed out. We'll see. Cross my fingers.

In the World recently:

Senator Kennedy died. A heartbreak for the family indeed, and as well for America. The conservatives might not think that way, however. I'm indifferent. He did a lot of questionable things, but he was a good leader and believer in the things that he lived for

Burkina Faso now has 150,000 more homeless people because of a recent flood. I stand back and ask God how he lets such an already impoverished country take blows like that. Then I remember that there is a purpose for everything. Since this just happened within the last two days, there hasn't been near enough time to see God's plan in work.

Japan had it's most recent election, making this the first in many year that the democratic party has won the vote. They plan on trying to be more independent of the United States. They can at least try, yes?

The United States is becoming more and more dependent in China now. We are billions of dollars in debt with that county, and they are making some changes that, I believe, will make them the next World Super Power. My history professor is so serious about this, that he is starting to tell us the Chinese names for certain events in history. He also gives the the old Chinese and new Chinese name for everything, just so we will be educated. Not that I'm going to be able to remember these, but at least I'm writing them down.

That should be all for now. I'm going to get back to work (aka, check my Facebook again).
