Class

Today in class we talked about how different people feel about religion. I partly agreed with Townsley claims. I am a methodist and I am not saying what religion is the right or wrong one. But the part that bothered me was the fact that he was saying other people's religion was untruthful. That to me is worse than just accepting what is going on. I understand he is upset about the different scripts being read at his worship, I also know that should most likely not have been reading a different script in a Lutheran church but he has no say in telling people what religion is right, or truthful. Thats what has been causing war in the holy land for centuries. We don't need Americans fight over the same thing.

Stress

This weekend has been very stressful, one our football team lost. Two I am already starting baseball on sunday. third I have a huge bio test to study for, but I have been studying for awhile but it is still very difficult to learn. I also have to give a speech on monday, that I haven't started on. To me this is crazy but then I realize this isn't even finals week yet.... I am not looking forward to that week at all. I don't feel very good about my test either. Every one says bio is way hard but to me I usually don't get very bad grades in bio but this last test I did and now I have another one so I am very stressed about this test... I can't do bad..

Football

This saturday Wartburg lost to Bethal 28 to 22. Our team played pretty well but overall I thought that we should have beat Bethal. Our offense had two good drives otherwise they stalled out after maybe 3 plays. I thought we should have passed it more because their defensive line was very big and it was tough for our guys to get position. When our offense passed it we gained big chunks of yards very quickly. O well its not my call I guess. On the defensive end we held out pretty well, the only reason they scored was because our saftey's fell for the trick plays. Other than that we stopped the run pretty well. They didn't get any touchdowns by just running down the field.

Football

Today we had lunch in Joe's Knight Hawk. We had lunch there because the football team is 10-0 and they were doing the play off selection. We found out that we had to play Bethal first round. Bethal is from MN and in 2003 Wartburg beat 27 to 7. Hopefully we can beat them that bad this year but you never know till it happens. NCAA rules say that in play off games only 52 people can dress. Im not to mad about this because I can't get in the game anyway because one of the players on our team has the same number. So instead I will stay warm and sit in a Clinton dorm room and watch the game in the warmth and also watch whatever other football game is on TV.

Nervous

Tomorrow I have to give a speech for oral communications. Normally i am not a nervous person, but I am actually nervous for tomorrow. I don't know why. Maybe its because it I am worried about not doing good. I know I have to do good because this speech is worth 80 points. I feel that I have prepared well enough to do well but I am still nervous. I also am pretty relaxed about things in life and I don't like to dress up, but I have to, tomorrow and I am not looking forward to it. Tomorrow will be interesting.

State of Fear 2!! The Media crap!

After I read this book I thought back to what it was talking about. How certain people were trying to influence media to help their cause, and I think about now days, where everything is related to media, especially politicians. This year I didn't vote on november 2nd, one because I was to busy but this is irrlevant to the point. The second reason is that I saw the pointless add campain they had. It showed how bad the other person is and what horrible thing wrong that this person did. It never once said what they were going to do besides the opposite. How do I know that the opposite is right or even good? But all the politicians think that bashing the other guy is the right thing. Well in my eyes it makes the guy doing the bashing the bad guy. I know what has gone wrong in our country.... for the most part anyway, besides all the government cover ups. I want to know what this next person will do in office. But they never say out right, its just talk.

State of Fear

As I was reading this book I was unsure of global warming, I mean I heard people talk of it and how it is way bad but I never had hard evidence to prove it. This book is kind of helping my thinking out by saying yes it is a possibility but not as a severe world threat that is about to destroy the world. When I was reading the book it told me that only little changes have been documented, I know some small changes can cause massive changes down the road but these changes can't be proved that global warming caused them. They could be caused by natural climate conditions since no one knows exactly what the climate patterns are. So I am still unsure of global warming. I think it needs to be watched and governed but not as a mass crisis problem.
