Team's Gesture Supports Grieving Opponent
Not even closely related to politics at all...but it's good to get away from the bickering harsh nature of politics sometime and w/ all the negative stories reported in the world, its good to read something good every onece in awhile! It's an ESPN story about a recent Milwaukee Madison HS boys basketball game...check it out.

My Fun & Exciting Life
....not really that fun and exciting, but I'll give it a go! After I finish this class in a few months I'll be graduating from UWM w/ a major in Criminal Justice and minors in Business Admin as well as Political Science. Of which, the only ones I'll actually be using really after graduation are the Business Minor -- the CJ major allowed me to graduate in four years which was a necessity for me and the Poli Sci is simply something I enjoy so I geared all my electives around it.
Upon graduation, I plan on going into retail liquor sales (basically being a sales rep for a company that sells to liquor stores) because my family owns a liquor store and its an industry I already am very knowledgeable in and enjoy. I play an active role in running the day to day operations now and hope to grow in the industry after school. But heck, with today's economy, I might just go work anywhere someone is willing to put my name on a paycheck!
I've never taken an online course before, so this is a new experience for me. I usually procrastinate pretty bad, so I guess that's what I'm most nervous about for this course....but I am writing this blog a week before it's due so maybe thats a sign of things changing?!?! In addition, I hope I can learn as much as I would in a "normal setting" class where there is lecturing and discussion. Since an online course is more on your own, I'm hoping to get at least the same, if not more out of it. The reason I took this course is because I prefer to concentrate on American politics and since the two party system has so many pros and cons, I figured this would be a good course to examine that more in depth.
So all in all, thats me. One other thing is that I live and die by my Chicago Cubs...only 68 days 'till Opening Day!!
