Groan of the day: Knock Knock, who’s there, tuna, tuna who?: You can tune a piano, but you can’t tuna fish!
Two things I wanna talk about: History, and my favorite fictional character.
“There are always good things to look back on and always good things to look forward to. The present is far too short a time to matter.”
I wanna talk about history cuz today is the last history class of the semester. Hopefully by the time you read this I will have passed the final…lets all hope hard :)
I have always loved history. Not dates and stupid names or original documents—I like the stories in history. It is almost like I can live as many lives as I want just by reading and imagining what it was like to be a person long dead. What is sometimes even more interesting is that we can laugh at, and learn from, infinite mistakes and triumphs.
What amazes me is that so many ppl are dead. Just dead and gone—no matter how many horses they had shot from under them, no matter how many years they lived—they are dead. I mean, 900 years is a long time to live for it to just one day be over. Sorta helps put things in perspective for me sometimes. I’m not the first one to try living life, and I certainly won’t be the last.
Yeah so that is my tribute to the subject of my past major—now go look up King Tut in the encyclopedia or something.

As of yesterday I have now watched all 6 Rocky movies. For those that lead excessively sheltered lives, the Rocky movies are about a boxer that, um, boxes. Yeah.
Rocky is an amazing character. A little slow, but full of heart. All six movies are great, and good for at least the older half of your family. The Christian one is #6 and just came out about a year ago. But in all the movies Rocky’s faith is evident and moral values are key. Warning…it may make you want to be a boxer. This is especially scary if you were formerly a semi-peaceful homeschool mom :D
