Well, a lot of stuff has been going on lately since my crash-and-burn-return from China…
School has been chaotic as hell for me since I recovered from whatever bug that got me (for an entire week. :O) with all the make-ups and whatever. This week is finals week and I’m not in the best shape……. Took the math and history mid-terms today, did almost perfectly on the math one and nearly failed the history one (teacher has us study topics A and tests us on B).
The main reason for my post is hearing Bush’s State of the Union address earlier this evening. He talked about the major issues regarding the “War on Terror,” the energy crisis we’ve been having, medical reforms, etc. Most people noted that more and more Republicans are becoming discontent with what Bush has been doing, as this night’s speech did not receive as much enthusiasm as speculation and pessimism.
The highlight quote: “Whatever you voted for, you did not vote for failure.” in regard to the war in the Middle-East (it’s no longer just in Iraq and Afghanistan…). He means that he will not withdraw troops until his mission is done, a mission that may even have changed objectives many times, locations of operation expanding to other countries. From what I heard the U.S. is now trying to multitask in the Middle-East, which I somewhat am inclined to disagree with.
With two years left in his own reign of crap, President Bush is planning to send in an additional wave of armed forces to try and flush out the insurgents once and for all. Good luck on that… >_>
My new goals, web-design wise:
- Redesign this blog
- Create a portfolio website, much like in TIC, but with much more work
- Create websites for as many school projects as I can
