Spring break over now
Now that spring break is over we are coming up on the final stretch of the semester - and my final semester of college, at that. There are so many things that I wanted to do during college that I have never had the time, motivation, or money to do. To be sure, I have had a "college experience" over the last four years, but it's hard to say that it was anything like I expected it would be when I was coming out of high school. There are so many things that I would do differently had I to do it all over again. This is a time in young peoples live when we are supposed to be excited about life and our prospects but I am just tired, unmotivated, regretful of my bad grades and wasted time, and especially the crushing burden of debt that terrifies and depresses me. Here's to tomorrow.
Some comments about things going on in the country right now:
1) Immigration: Where did this issue come from? It just kind of popped out of nowhere all of a sudden. Everyone's acting like we have to act on this, like, NOW
or the whole world will be swallowed up by a horde of Mexican immigrants. This has been an issue for years (and is made an issue every few years as a way to get xenophobes riled up) and didn't just sprout up right now. Why is everyone getting their panties in a bunch right now?
Also, it seems like there's an easy solution to this problem. What I think is going to happen is that the McCain-Kennedy senate bill will steamroll the Sensenbrenner house bill in conference and we'll have a guest worker program with an avenue to citizenship and maybe some stepped up enforcement of labor laws and border security. Let's just do it and get it over with.
2) Does anyone really expect a "white house shake up" to change the formulation of policy that is coming out of the white house this late in the game? Swapping out Andy Card for Josh Bolten is about as big of a shake up as switching vanilla for vanilla bean ice cream. If they sacked Rumsfeld and put in Lieberman - bang, that would mean something.
3) Why hasn't DeLay been thrown in jail? The guys is dirty, dirty, dirty and dows damage to America. Shame on him.
Just venting. TTYL.
