OK, so don’t mind the post title, something random that JUST came to mind. If you know the type of joke, feel free to finish it now, I’ll wait………………………..
Okay, cool. Now, school is finally done with, well, this semester anyway. It was pretty interesting, feels like yesterday that it was the first day. 8 week semesters will do that I guess. I took Christian Morality, which could easily be described simply as…Mind Fuck, and Global Perspective. For Global Perspective, I learned under the Dial-Tone known as Mr.Biank. The guy is amazing with History, is really cool… but if you have his class, bring a tape-recorder, and don’t bother to take notes. You’ll be counting sheep and popping Zzz’s before you know it, trust me.
I really only enjoyed the first-half of his class, because it was about the History of Europe from 1945-2000. Being a HUGE European/Cold War/WWII fanatic, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Global Perspective, while being a complete walk in the park, was definitely a deep experience. Really engaging into the depths of Christianity, even talking about Islam and Judaism.
I’m still looking for travel programs, or exchange programs to Europe for next summer, or whenever I can. Most of them are all $5,000 or more, not including room and board fees. I’d like to go to either France, Germany or England. If I end up going to France, I’d love to see what Bayonne is like now, and see if Biarittz beach has changed any, ahhh… good times. If England, I want to check out my old Elementary School, and our old houses, if Germany, I’d love to see the house we lived in, where I was the “Little American Baby”.
If I end up going soon, chances are I won’t come back. I feel being in Newport News, hell in VA I am in a Cultural Vacuum, void of anything spectacular to experience, void of travel capabilities. Which reminds me I still need to try to find German or French language schools in the area, haven’t had any luck yet.
I’ve been told I write as if I’m talking to someone, I think I’m just tired. Hmm… what do you think?
