O..........M...........G in history class and just had a discussion about waterboarding.........theres this one girl in my class who says its okay to use it as a form of punishment because the people do not die they just think theyre drowning and then later they go back to their cell like nothing happened.....................WHAT?! it was basically the whole class against her. heres part of the discussion......
its like theyre drowned and then brought back to life over and over again. its physcial and psychologica torture
her* its okay. because they know they arent going to die.
havent you ever felt like you were drowning or something. its horrible
her* yeah im sure its bad....but its fine
..........................i swear every class the things she says.........
another time we were going over 1940s ads for a piano and she said the ad was such a liar because just because you have a piano doesnt mean you can play
us* well if you dont have a piano you wont have the opportunity to have something to learn how to play
her* no but if you have it you still need lessons so it should say you need to take lessons on the ad
us*.....................okay......sure... but its a piano ad.....
her* but it say you need to take lessons so its lying
*sigh* i know that was a random rant but serious every time we have a discussion its her against everyone else
okay thats it.
nvm heres another one that just happened
talking about if we should bail out the major american car companies, she says no, which okay thats fine but heres what she says
us* how about all the people that will lose jobs
her* well its the companies fault we cant just bail them out, its their fault that they didnt do more energy efficient things earlier
*but how about the lose of jobs and the effect of losing the auto industry on our government
her* well thats just how it is..............
...............what?

Random Facts Update
more random facts via history 7b
At Berkeley, you are only guaranteed a parking spot if.......you win a nobel prize. yes thats right. the nobel prize equates to a parking spot at berkeley. thats how hard it is to find parking around here....
anyhoo wheres something cool that's been on the news
so last night the students of berkeley decided that a parade was necessary in order to celebrate obama's victory. soooo they decide to run around the campus and all over the units twice. from what i heard, there ended up being 2 celebrations. the first was on telegraph where the crowds bodysurfed and even started a small fire. The other group, which im assuming was much bigger, got so big that the chancellor came out to give a speech. pretty cool stuff. dont believe me? see for yourself.
anyhoo...mccain's speech was pretty respectful, very classy and very soon my posts will be much less political
but if you do get the chance, for sure wath obama's speech and i would say watch colin powell's interview on cnn
MAJOR QUESTION!
my history professor and my class tell me that i remind them of juno. personally do not see that at all....comments? agree? disagree?

Update
So i went to dinner with erika from IV knowing that when i got to my computer next, we would have elected a new president. after dinner we had community time for IV and as we were sitting in the lounge, all of the sudden we hear incredibly loud screaming coming from the courtyard along with chants of OBAMA and USA. it was pretty crazy. even in the room we were in, we could hear people running through the builiding screaming about it. ....i have no idea where im going with this post..........but i do know i have to study so it'll probably be awhile before i update next. but um yeah intense community time today
update.
people are super excited here. im not even kidding here. there are still a whole bunch people running around celebrating, cars are still honking. i must admit i find it exciting too ;) wow that sounded incredibly dorky even for me. heres very very small part of it. not close to the noise in the first hour but still .....
day didnt start off that great....but it was a good day

VOTE
finally got around to dropping off my absentee ballot today. they even gave me a sticker :) i must say though there were quite a few things i didnt vote on just because i didn't know what the consequences would be. oh well its better not to change anything than to vote for a bad change right?
so votes started being counted about half an hour ago and i have been using yahoo to keep up with it since i still have no tv in my room and i dont want to go down to the lounge. as of 4:30 PM PST this is how the votes were
*i dont know what i would do if keegan didn't tell me how to use prtsc :)*
as of 5:20 PM i love how fast i can upload pics with internet at school
ohio and florida are surprising me. all shaping up to be an obama victory
the end is the beginning of change
