F is for FEDERALISM

American Politics is so fascinating! For serious. The Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Supreme Court and all of its rulings... I love it! I have no way of explaining this, other than it's really cool to see how the Supreme Court has fine-tuned its beliefs over the past few centuries (sort of), and how the national government is slowly trying to take control of the state governments, and how controlling the government really could be because of the Constitution, and how we have all these rights and liberties but not really and yet everything just WORKS... Okay, maybe not cool, but ...fascinating! ::nerd:: It's like a disaster that might never happen.

Sorry for that short and stupid post that resulted from last night's haze of consciousness. I am officially American Politic'd out. Oh wait, I need some picture for this post, here, I'll google "FEDERALISM" and let's see what I can find.

Yea, that's nice.

But honestly it is a pretty interesting subject; I think I'll try to take a few more political science classes before I graduate. Which gets me thinking, there are still so many classes that I want to take, like fashion photography, japanese language, a gazillion history courses... What if I still want to take college courses? Can you graduate, and then re-enroll and just take random classes here and there? Or do you always have to have a declared "major" or whatever? What about the parents who "go back to school" and are only taking say, art classes? I know that taking these extra courses will cost money, but if I could, I'd just keep taking courses until I've learned everything that I've ever want to learn; all photography, design, culinary, Chinese and Asian American courses, most history, political science, biology and oh the list goes on. I'm in a huuuuge rush to graduate (which now looks to be around Spring 2009, keep your calendars open) and get a degree, but there's still so much to learn! Argh.

But anyway, I took my American Politics and Sociology midterms today, that was a doozie -.- Art History is on Thursday, which is my faaaaavorite class so I should do spectaaaacularly ^_^ And then I am going to Louisville for the weekend! ...again! Yea I know, I've left almost every other weekend this semester. But that's just it, Kent is so...small! Plus Jackie's going back to Cincinnati for the weekend so I figured I'd hitch a ride and chill with the dad and the bf. Next weekend I might be going to Columbus to celebrate Casey's 21st and see who else is in town, maybe stop at Zen Cha for some delicious bubble tea, mmm. Can't keep me down! Next stop, Hawaii? Iceland??

I'm in a really strange nostalgic mood, we'll see how this develops. I feel like I had something else to say (I've had the MOST bizarre dreams in the past three days or so, even more bizarre than your typical Joanna's-dream fare. Let's just say Willy Wonka's chocolate factory, red vines, pirate ship cabins, goombas and sex.) but I'm bored of the internet. Byebye!
