The End is Nigh

It is now Tuesday and I am official 2/3 of the way done with my finals! Yesterday I had my Constitutional Law final, which I found out is one of the hardest ones in my major, and it pretty much destroyed me. However, today I made up for it in Political Theory, and I can honestly say with absolute confidence that if I get below a 99% on this thing I will be VERY surprised. Now all that is left is my British Literature class, where I will be studying great and boring works like Robinson Crusoe and Jane Eyre for the next couple of days. But afterwards... I plan to not remember much. As for everything else, life is going as normal. My girlfriend is flying out on the 16th and I get to spend the holidays with her till I go back to school! Also, I get to learn how to snowboard on the 18th, so expect pictures of me falling on my ass to be posted then!

An F/A 18 Hornet crashed into a residential neighborhood about an hour and a half away from me yesterday and killed a family :(. Makes one really wonder about what our servicemen are thinking when things like that go wrong? I am not fully aware of the circumstances, but apparently the pilot was trying to land his crippled plane and he lost control, but ejected to safety in time. I would be feeling pretty bad about myself if I knew something I piloted did that to a family and I didnt die doing everything in my power to prevent it. But enough on that, I am sure he did not realize that it was going to do that kind of damage.

Also, in another vaunt of cheery news, the Illinois First Lady and Governor are involved in a pretty large corruption affidavit from the FBI. They were apparently going to auction off Obama's seat in the Senate and have also been involved with bullying the Chicago Tribune into writing the news their way. All I can say is WOW, I did not think it was possible for politicians to be even more stupid in this day and age than the Rove, Libby, and Stevens scandals. Well it just goes to show that power can very easily corrupt people. Other than that, news has been pretty slow recently domestically... Internationally is another story, but that would require a seperate blog for that.
