First Amendment Still Rocks

One more reason I am ever grateful for the first amendment. What if we lived in a country where you could be sentenced to a year of labor for petitioning the government to peaceably assemble in protest?

Fall is Coming! Fall is Coming! Fall is Coming!

It starting to get to that point where you can feel it in the air. I love fall for many reasons: the smell of the air, the crisp breeze, warm sweaters, cozy fireplaces, and best of all; new beginnings. The onset of fall is even more a "fresh-slate feeling" than the new year. Maybe we are conditioned to think that way because that's when each new school year began, but even now that I'm out of school, it still feels that way. I also know I am a true Pacific Northwesterner at heart because all the rain makes me feel good, fresh and secure, I find myself looking forward to those drizzly days. Yay fall in Bellingham, I heart you. I hope I get to experience you before I go.

It was unfair - to Ken.

MoDo!! Ha!

I miss you, journalism

I'm in a really good mood for writing. If I weren't at work answering the phone every three minutes I would sit down and write a long blog. If there is one thing I miss about school, it's having the chance to write pages and pages every week. Sometimes it seemed like a chore, but mostly I enjoyed it, whether it was a research paper or a blog or a news story. I miss it.

Hopefully I will get to write a long blog later. Hopefully I will still be in the mood. It's been an eventful weekend and has put me in a pensive mood. Pensive + Writing = Relief.

It's almost time for the Olympics!!!

Remember this awesome moment? Strug famously helped the U.S. win gold by landing a vault on only one foot - she had torn two ligaments in the other.
