Adam Hinz: The Blog

My love-hate relationship with work continues...Maybe what I hate about it is just the dishroom, which I've only done on the weekends, every other weekend at that. Tuesday I worked the grill and the donut place. I've done the grill several times, and it's more enjoyable when you know what you're doing. That way you know when it's ok to stand around and chat. The donut place wasn't too bad either. It was pretty slow, so there was time to stand around and chat. Alright so what if I only like working if I'm not working. Today (thursday, technically yesterday) I worked the Wok, and it was fine. So all-in-all it's not THAT bad of a job, just the dishes...goddamn
Ok, enough complaining about work. I hate writing about it, but yet I continue...blah
I meant to write something here on Wednesday. That day totally sucked. First, I was woken up by a phone call from the office of voting in Madison County with a question about my absentee vote application form. My mom told me to put my Bloomington address as my place of residence, and not put anything for the mailing address. Well, that's wrong cos that means a change in residence, which I'm not ready for :) That wasn't the crappy part. What sucked was they called at 10:15, and I was supposed to be at math class at 10. So yeah, I over slept. Forgot to set my alarm. First time. Suckage!
So rather than go to class half hour late, I decided to do some homework in my room first. I did my calculus, then took my online quiz for linguistics. That quiz totally blew. Well, not totally. But enough to piss me off. The first 2 quizzes were verbatim from the powerpoints, but this one was nothing like that. I missed 3 out of 11. fuh
Wednesday wasn't all bad. Spanish is starting to become enjoyable. Lots of class interaction. We got our first test over with, so I think everyone's more confident with speaking. Also, the teacher is very cool. She has no problem at all with finishing early :)
Tonight (thursday) was the presidential debate. That was fun. I watched it a lot of the people of my floor in our lounge, which was great. But what was greater was the free pizza thanks to the floor funds. yeah buddy free food.
About the debate, I thouht it was interesting. I guess this debate only concerned foreign policy. As far as what was discussed, I'd have to say that for now, I'm voting for Kerry. I remember when we started to focus on Iraq, I kept thinking "No, wait until we find wmds." I saw that case the same way as domestic crimes, that whole "guilty until proven innocent" thing. Yes, Hussein did terrible things in the past, but we had inspectors searching for what he was doing now. Why couldn't we wait until they were finished? I kept thinking what the world would think of the U.S. if we went attacked Iraq and there weren't actually weapons. Also, I remember how the UN didn't support us attacking. I think that's an important issue. On top of that, something about Bush seems dishonest. Now, I don't know if these are my own opinions or I've been watching too much of the Daily Show, but for now, I'm definitely voting for Kerry. This doesn't mean I'm gonna go try and make everyone that way. It doesn't mean I'm a democrat. It doesn't mean I'm gonna stick that John Kerry bumper sticker I got in front of Ballentine on my car. It also doesn't mean I have a car, but anyway. That's enough politics for me, and that's probably the most you'll ever get out of me.
I was never good at analyzing things
OOh
