Hmm… so I just read a post about Obama saying, “This is my second visit to Yad Vashem…I am always taken back to, sort of, the core question of humanity that the Holocaust raises. And that is, on the one hand man’s great capacity for evil but on the other hand the capacity to join together and stop evil if we are willing to speak out in one voice.” The author said that this quote was in poor taste… I just have one question… How? Looking back on it he may want to change his wording or add something, but what he said overall is not bad. Yes he was simplifying the Holocaust, but he wasn’t there to give a huge speech on the Holocaust. And then apparently Obama is the devil for saying this. How many dumb things has Bush said?! Pretty much every word that comes out of his mouth is the wrong one.
Bleh. Politics. Okay, I’m done with that. So, speaking of the Holocaust, I am taking my class on it now. It’s really good, except it’s tough to read some of the stuff, like the Jedwabne massacre. I don’t really want to go into because of how graphic it is. But, yeah. I really like learning the details of this stuff. My roommates boyfriend was asking what exactly I’m learning in this class since everyone knows about the Holocaust, but what you learn about it is so superficial. I really like learning the details of what happened. I had no idea about the Hitler-Stalin Nonaggression Pact until I took this class.
So otherwise I’ve just been working a lot. Frank finally came back after going home for a week. Then he had to go to Phoenix today and ditched me for the whole day. We were supposed to go see Batman tonight – his idea – especially since we stayed up til 1 last night watching the first one, even though he had to get up before 6 this morning. That annoyed me. I don’t even think he’s left Phoenix yet, and I don’t think he will at this point in the night. I hate when people break plans.
I’ve been watching a lot of Weeds again – I was watching Gilmore Girls again for a while. I can’t wait to catch up, but it’s going to suck to have to actually wait a week or more to see the next episode haha.
Alright, I must finish my reading for the night, but I needed to write a little and vent a little.
Oh, and I hate hate hate bills.

Geez, I had no idea I hadn’t written in so long!!
Well, my first summer class is over. No more Homer for me. I started my class about the Holocaust yesterday. I like it and it’s interesting, but there is a ton of reading! I like going to class though because it’s interesting the whole time. I don’t find myself daydreaming too much.
Because my class is at 11, I work at 9 now. I like it except that I work with another girl at the same time and there’s barely enough for one person to do, let alone two.
So last night something fell down into the tubing of our little fireplace, and I guess it made a huge thud, so Bethany thought it was a squirrel and Steveo thought it was a mouse. We spent, like, a half hour trying to get it out and couldn’t. We finally tried once more this morning since our landlord was going to have to come over to take it apart. We got it out. And by “we” I mean Steveo. It was just a really big beetle. For a while I was thinking it might have been the mouse we always hear running around in the ceiling, but I guess not haha. Oh well, his running doesn’t really bug me anyways.
So Frank went home for the week to help his mom run his grandma’s store. I’m so bored without him haha. It’s funny cause I’m still busy, but I feel lonely because usually even when I’m doing my homework and stuff he’s here too, and we stop in the middle of things to talk, but now he’s not here. Oh well, I guess. I’ll get over it. It’s been weird only making dinner for one person though.
I have good news. I weighed myself at the gym today and I’m down 10 lbs from where I was when I was home. I was hoping for more than 10 because last Monday I weighed myself and I was down 8 lbs. It’s understandable though because Saturday was my Grandparents 50th Anniversary party, so there were a lot of extra calories eaten that day with cake and such. It was a lot of fun though, and I got to see people I like (and people I don’t haha). Even though 10 lbs isn’t that much because of how much I want to lose, I already feel so much happier. I’ve noticed I’m a lot less moody, which is nice, because I know I’ve been pretty moody the last few months.
Now that I’ve finished my tons of reading for tonight, I’m going to go ahead and go to bed.
