i'm finally done with the LSAT. i hope i did well. if not something else will work out and i'll move on and be ok.

i get to start blogging for the UT page tomorrow. at least i'm supposed to be able to. i think i'm going to have to change how i type, they probably will not want me to type in all lowercase. and they said proofreading is a must, which i dont do on here.

i've been lazy all day, but after not having to study for that test all day i haven't known what to do with my self. i did go to a dinner party at my friends tonight, it was pretty fun. she made indian food. it was very good. i needed to study for my test that i have tuesday, and i may still do that later. but i was thinking about cutting my hair, but that takes like an hour. i might just wait till i go home.

speaking about going home, fall break is next week. i'm very excited about only having a three day week. it'll be cool. nice and relaxing. i havent been home since 4th of july, so i'm excited. i need to work on my applications over the break.

i'm worried about the future of the country. i'm not an economist by any means, and political science doesnt tell you why you should bail out the financial system, but i can ration through why they should help out the financial system, but i also very much see why we shouldnt help them out.

you hear alot of talk about why "deregulation" is bad, but the regulation that is supposedly needed to save the system got us into all this. the lenders were regulated to make this bad loans in an effort to put more individuals in houses.

thats neither here nor there though. i'm worried about the future of the country because no matter who is elected in a month things will not get much better. i know it is difficult for most, but individuals need to research their decisions more before they make a choice about who they want to lead them. not just for president but for congress. it frustrates me, but, as i told a friend of mine that was berating me about if i was a democrat or a republican i replied:

i dont define my political views by parties. it should be based off what is important to you. so i cant tell you that who you are voting for is wrong as long you are basing that on something that is important to you. No one can tell you what you believe to be the important deciding factor for yourself is right or wrong because it is what you personally believe.

for those that read this already know where i stand i think.

but times will be rocky for a while, but the good thing about the american system is that it is able to with stand changes and the american people will eventually wise up and set the country back on track. we just need to look at history and learn from it, because we're repeating it right now. (the depression was cause by people buying too much on credit and then when those debts got called, they couldnt be paid. the average american today had 15,000 dollars in credit card debt. ridiculous)

i hope this was not too gloom and doom.

Yeah, I really don't know much about what is going on right now. I'm just hoping it doesn't go too badly.

Are you watching the debate tonight? You can blog about that, though that may be a popular choice. You can have an anti-debate blog entry, ha ha.

Well, that's probably a good guideline to have.
