i just got off the phone w/my bf from home, ash. i am so happy and hyper right now. it amazes me how people so close don't need to talk forever but nothing changes it still is just as amazing if not more. so after an hour hiatus i return to my paper-topic: Islam is now again at the forefront replacing Communism as the threat of competing world ideology and political influence so we aren't a sole superpower. this intrigues me and i want to expand on it more than the four pages alotted to me but then again maybe not.
took my passport pics today-as always pictures that will be with you for like 10 years turned out slightly less than glamorous. my family and i also made the big decision on new luggage: red and 4-piece. my grama thinks that me taking 3 skirts abroad is generous; i of course think she is crazy. After all she knows the woes of being a woman and being socially conditioned to change every 16.3 minutes. i literally changed my outfit 5 times today. note: this is not normal behavior. finals are cracking me up. i think i have subconciously decided that my teacher seeing me looking presentable will equal them thinking i am capable (kinda fake it to make it rhetoric) and then they will subconsciously remember this while grading my paper-hey we all have our own strategies-don't judge me!
