Yay!! Wednesday!!
Wednesday, of course, means we're halfway through with this week. It's been a long and tired one for me.
The language database is in good shape. Now we have to see who gets in for language training. I'd like to, but they won't let me, because I'm reclassing. Maybe a small three day one, just to knock some Russian in. I don't want to lose it.
I also got a lesson on the fine art of Army memo writing.
PT = utter bitch today. My knee is very unhappy.
Tomorrow I get to go add promotion points, which will take me up to 613 (as I'm adding 85 points!). I only have 120 hours left of correspondence courses until I'm maxed out, and in April I'll be able to add that and my college points, which will put me up to a 737 of 798. I also have to go buy uniform stuff, like maybe a pair of pants. I *have* to get racks and ribbons, since we have a Class A uniform inspection next week.
Political Stuff #1 : Meanwhile, President Bush suggested that he and Congress had done their best to help the parents prolong Schiavo's life, and the White House said it had no further legal options.
"I believe that in a case such as this, the legislative branch, the executive branch, ought to err on the side of life, which we have," the president said. "Now we'll watch the courts make their decisions."
Nice of him to want to err on the side of life now. Or erring on the side of life on the abortion question - but not on the side of the kids after they're born. And as I mentioned in someone else's livejournal, how about his stand on the death penalty as governor of Texas?
I'm starting to get the feeling it's going to be a long four years.
I'm not including Iraq in the list because I do not want to touch that hot potato if I don't have to. After I reclass, I expect to have up close and personal experience with the place, and I'm holding my judgement until then. That being said, it's not cool to start a war for one reason and say it's for another.
Off to work on homework.

Yep. I think of Afghanistan and Iraq as experiments to find out if democracy can work there, in the same sense the founding fathers called our republic "the Great Experiment." Ten years from now there's going to be a lot of people saying "I told you so", we don't know which ones yet.
