friday five

i’m bored so i guess i will do the boring friday five:

1. If you had the chance to meet someone you’ve never met, from the past or present, who would it be?
hmm that’s a hard question. i think i’d like to meet aristotle. i’d love to talk to him about his thoughts and philosophies. hehe. actually, i have no idea who i’d like to meet. there are so many people!

2. If you had to live in a different century, past or future, which would it be?
i’d like to live in the future because i wonder how different it will be. D

3. If you had to move anywhere else on Earth, where would it be?
hmm. does this mean i have the mony to live there? maybe hawaii or california. somewhere is nice weather. )

4. If you had to be a fictional character, who would it be?
if i was a fictional character i’d like to be nancy drew. nothing better than just solving mystery cases and not going to college! )

5. If you had to live with having someone else’s face as your own for the rest of your life, whose would it be?
wow these questions are really hard. i think i’d love to live with zhang zi yi’s face. she’s so pretty. i think i’ll take her body too. D

wow those questions were hard to answer. well i’m going to florida tomorrow. woohoo. spring break is going to RULE. <3

unevitable war

as expected, my professor talked about the iraq conflict again last night for two hours. we did not have our quiz that i studied for. what a surprise. i’m a little worried because i have to write a 20 page paper about whether russia is a superpower anymore. oh dear. anyway, i’m going to enjoy my spring break because when i come back, school is seriously going to suck a lot. eww. two more days!

in a more serious tone, how many of you watched gw’s address to the nation last night? mtv even aired it! grr. i wanted to watch my sorority life 2 and fraternity life. the only time i stay home so i can watch that show, and bush has to make his war speech. after writing my paper about the uk’s position on using military force to disarm iraq, i have realized just how horrible saddam hussein is. as much as i hate to see civilians killed due to this war, maybe this is the best thing for iraq right now. in 1938, the u.s. and the uk could have done something to keep germany’s adolf hitler in line, but instead they appeased him and what happened? hitler became powerful and world war 2 happened. rather than repeat that same mistake again, i think it’s good that the united states and 30 countries have decided to take control since the un seems to be a failure at this moment. i hope it doesn’t turn into another useless league of nations. ok well, i’m kind of sick of this whole war talk. i just hope everything works out as planned, and hussein is finally dethroned. his dynasty is over, and i hope he realizes how greatly he screwed his nation over.

[edit]by the way, i was anti-war before taking my international law class. i used to think gw wanted war because iraq tried to assassinate his father. i still don’t like gw as a president, but i guess this is the best solution for now.[/edit]

3 days…

yay it’s almost here. ) i’m still enjoying the warm weather here in pittsburgh. my friend was telling me that her mom won’t let her go to london for spring break because of the impending war. doesn’t that suck? i guess it would be better if she didn’t because it could get dangerous. now i’m glad that my friends and i will be driving to florida. that’s the safest way to travel right now.

anyway, today has been an ok day. i went to international marketing and i asked my professor about the project that’s due on friday. once again we will not be having class on friday. doesn’t that rock? i’m so tempted to skip managing across cultures as well. that would make my so grand. tania and i went to winner’s for lunch. we both got hot fried noodles. the owner asked tania if she wanted it spicy. she’s like hmm. and he’s like how about medium? so she got medium. i copied her! whoa medium is still pretty spicy! i don’t know how koreans do it. i think they must have burned off all their tastebuds or something. i almost went to dave and andy’s after lunch, but i controlled myself. hehe.

so for my managing across cultures class, my group is doing japan as our country. i emailed my old accounting professor since he’s japanese and asked if he could help us. wow, he’s been soo helpful. he even brought me to the mba admissions office to speak to the admissions lady. she’s going to email me a couple of current japanese mba students. this is going to be so great. )

well i don’t feel like going back to my apartment so i’m going to buy a super expensive sandwich at gsia and then sit at a table (alone) and study for intl law. maybe then i won’t look as pathetic and loserish. i really hate eating by myself in public. it makes me feel so self-conscious and that everyone is watching me. ok well this was a really long blog. oh yeah, i finished all my taxes and financial aid stuff yesterday! hurrah!!!!!!!!!! life is good. <3
