They're Over!!!
I finished my midterms tonight!!! I think this one was full of BS, but I turned it. I find out tomorrow night how badly I bombed my biostats test (it was bad!!!) and the other two will come back the following two days. But, for tonight, I am DONE!!!
So, I finished watching a movie that everyone who is against war should watch! "Howard Zinn: You Can't Be Neutral on a Moving Train". I can't believe that I saw this man talk about a year ago and had NO CLUE who he was - I was there to see Paul Farmer! I think I got jipped just a bit because they talked about the importance of book writing for education. Yes, it was good, but the minds and hearts of these two men sitting side-by-side - WOW!!! That could have been so much more exciting with another topic, something dealing with the inequities they have seen and the ideas they have to change it!
I know, I know... I should read their books for those ideas... *sigh*
(At this point, Cory considers giving links to the nice people in case they don't know who she is talking about... then she remembers that she got three hours of sleep last night... with the alarm going off every hour because she was stupid enough to try to pull an all-nighter because she had to turn in a midterm and give a class presentation about Eric Wolf and political economy at 6:00 this evening... she can't even pull off a link when in her right mind... so then she sightly sends up a "thank you" for the wonderful joy that is The Google!)
I have one of the first copies of "Iraq for Sale: the War Profiteers" that I want to watch now, but can barely hold me eyes open for typing. This is the latest film by the guy who made "Walmart: the High Cost of Low Pricing"; I have not been to a Walmart or Sam's Club since watching that movie. Evil people!
Peace Activists, doctors who get care and treatment to the people of the world who need it, political economy, Marxist theory, movies about stopping war and exploitation as my chosen entertainment...
What the hell happened?!?! Who turned me into a activist?!?! I feel... ummmm... I think I feel like a grown up or something!
Good thing I stayed out partying with randomly cool people until 5:30 in the morning the last two weeks in a row! That grown up thing was looking a little too real! (But why do even my party conversations get so serious and political?... DAMN IT!!! So close!)
