taking a break at the moment. ive been drilling history into my head for my test friday. (beware! academic content!) its contemporary europe, which is basically from WWII on. weve been spending a lot of time on pre-world wars though to get an idea of why europe was such a mess afterward. most of our stuff has centered around the USSR. then we covered WWI and II in one day, then spent a week on the cold war. its actually very interesting. that could be the fact that weve been talking about war, or that this is stuff that my parents (or at least grandparents) remember happening. its actually relevant, unlike most of my high school history classes. no one cares about king so-and-so in the 1500's, but khrushchev and churchill still have some bearing today. so yeah, taking a break from typing about communism.

ok, done with the academic talk; its safe now. supposedly theres a chance we might get a little more snow. my my, its been an unusually cold winter in the south this year. (haha, im such a wuss about cold) we got cookies and some candy in chinese yesterday (at 8am. yay!)

heh, also, at dinner the other night, we made a brilliant discovery. i wonder how many of you played "street fighter". if so, youll get it. if not, laugh anyway, its worth it. we decided, that if you add "-doken" (ala "hadoken!") to the end of any noun, it becomes acceptable to throw it. thus, we created "piedoken", and threw pie at tommy. then we threw some at the guy nicknamed "pi", and he threw it back shouting "medoken!". man i love my crazy circle of friends. spread the fun! throw things at your friends! (but you must throw it in the usual hands together, palms out way of flinging energy blasts)

what else, what else. we somehow (long story) ended up with the schools bearded dragons in the botany lab. there were two, and the teacher just handed me one (i was in the front). ive handled bearded dragons a lot, so i know how and all that. so i ended up taking my notes with a large lizard perched happily on my shoulder. i was most pleased. (i so want one. or a snake. or iguana. yay reptiles!) though our teacher made sure to specify that animals are not the "greater kingdom", as the zoology professors are so quick to claim.

ok, enough of a break for inu. must get back to studying.
