I should be getting a 3.0 this semester in grades overall. That's good right? I think. I hope so.

That's if it all goes to plan. FINGERS ARE CROSSED.

This class sucks. I'm not quite sure I understand the grading policy, hopefully my estimations are correct.

I really need to invest in an American flag. Not a cheap one from Walmart. I always stare up at the American flag on campus in front of Murdock Hall, just flapping in the wind. The sky is gross today. A very sad dark grey. It'll probably start raining soon. I want a big American flag. One that is made with pride. Wow, that sounds lame. I just realized, we say we're patriotic, not nationalistic, hm.

I really do want to go see the World but a part of me really does not want to leave this country. That part screams, "You can just go explore the West Coast. Try out Chicago. Maybe move down to Texas. Go see mount rushmore or maybe even the grand canyon. What's stopping you?"

Would I die for my country? Lyrics, movies and books keep bringing that question up to me. Dying is a scary thing. Would I die for love ones? Yes. Would I die for my nation? I'm not sure. I feel like I'd do more help alive than dead. Maybe if this were some Fallout 3 ending, sure but I don't expect that coming out anytime soon. I don't know how all those men fought in those world wars. I don't know how they had the nerve to just run out into battle. I can't believe they had the guts to charge head first into death. It does make me proud to have forefathers who did such actions. Tried to make our country and other parts of the World a better place. I wonder what a lot of them would think about this place now? What would 9/11 be like in their eyes? Would they be proud of the Bush administration? Be proud of the choice the nation made in Obama? So many unanswered questions. I'll never get the answers but that's okay, life has to be mysterious at times. I like to be mysterious, so I can't judge.

I can't sit still forever. I really hope Bowie gets that. I really hope my family understands that.

God made the automobile.

This dormroom story should technically end in one week because I won't be in a dorm in Autumn but I'll keep it going for one more year before I retire this blog and move onto something new. Maybe...

...the Aquaman World Conquest.
