Summer Classes

The way my program is set up is I have to do a summer semester. This is that year. :( I enjoy my Intro. to Social Welfare, and Transportation class. I don't mind the Statistics class, but he took 2 days to explain mean and median... to a bunch of engineers. I'm sorry but we have known that since... o...7th grade? He at least keeps us busy with notes though. My steel design class was completely boring. And Foundations is an hour and 40 minutes of my professor reading out of a book. What's the point of coming to class? I feel like these last two courses are just to bore us out of our minds and make us go crazy.

Egypt-Africa Safari

I went to Egypt for almost 3 weeks. (I'm back now.) We went to a place called Africa Safari. It was SOOOOO amazing!! I got to hold a lion cub, something like a baby gazel (don't know what animal for sure,) have parrots on my shoulders, feed hippos, and feed baboons. They have a motel there too which was a nice boat ride to the island. We paid for a room with a private pool and got a free upgrade to a pool with a garden and huge room! I was such an amazing time-the most comfortable bed I've had in Egypt-and I got to swim for like 2 hours. The only bad thing was that it was cold. The weather changed and it was partially sunny and very windy. Other than that though we had such a great time. :)

My husbands immigration has been put on hold because of Egypt military, but he applied for that earlier this month. Insha'Allah he we get a denial letter at the end of the month and be with me before the end of the summer. :)

Planned Parenthood

I know not everyone who reads my blog is American. Nor will everyone agree that this is good. Currently the idiots in congress are trying to cut funding to planned parent hood. I think this is a HUGE mistake. Yes it might save them tax dollars in one area but once most of these people start having babies they can't afford it will be a bigger cost in a total different area. I also like the fact that it is free preventative medicine in this country. I was literally just there and no charge. With how picky my health care is I don't have many options for doctors, and they will cost. I haven't looked into it but I guarantee they wouldn't cover birth control there would be some sore of co-pay. So my last visit was "if you have insurance we will bill them and whatever they give us is great."

So if you agree with planned parenthood services then please sign this.

Chi Epsilon

I don't think I mentioned that I am an official member of a civil engineering honor society called Chi Epsilon :) I was so happy to be part of this group and it is kinda cool to be in a society. I always said I would never join one unless it was a processional one and this doesn't carry any of the baggage like parties or drinking.
