no snow day!

I didn't do anything this whole weekend besides my homework and go to work. I am really angry that we have school today or didn't even have a delayed opening. The whole campus is so disguisting right now and it has been snowing all morning. I had to leave my house 1 1/2 hours early so I can get to my class on time; after cleaning my car. My next class is four hours from now and I dont know what im going to do on campus until then. There is never anything to do here at MSU, and I hate being a commuter. I think I might be transfering to another school next spring that is going to be farther from my house so that I'll be able to dorm. I'm through chapter 21 in the Kite Runner and it is getting more interesting. In the middle it became a little slow, but now its getting a little faster, which is a good thing.

changes from back then to today

In my opinion, there have been a lot of positive changes between the women and men. I know that back then, women did not have as many rights as the men. Now, women actually have rights; they are allowed to vote, have whatever job they want, and basically have equal rights as the men. Presently, if the men beat up their wives, the wives can take some legal action against them, where as in the past, the women would have to deal with it. Thank god, there were some people out there in the past who took some action and gave women their rights.

Ghosts of Rwanda

I just think that its sad that people go to this extent. I just dont understand why things like this keeps happening. Don't they realize that we're all human; and everyone should be treated equally? I dont know, its just really shocking and surprising to me still.

The Armenian Genocide

While i was researching, i realized that there have been more Genocide's in the world than I had ever thought of. The Armenian Genocide occured in the early 1900's. I learned that the Armenians first lived in the Ottoman Empire with the Turks, but when the empire started to go down, the Armenian groups started to split apart and become independent. When problems started to occur between the Armenian's and Turks, the Turks called all of the leaders of Armenian's and murdered all of them. The turks, then asked all of the men to help then with the war; instead they killed all of them as well, or they worked to death. Moreover, when only the women and children were left, the Turks told them that they were going to relocate a place to live temporarily; they obviously believed the Turks. The Turks eventually killed them, raped them, they died of hunger, or dehydrated. I thought that the Holocaust is the worse thing that anyone can go through; but there are so many more Genocide's that i have occured in this world which I'm sure not a lot of people are aware of. Reading about the Armenian Genocide kind of made me upset.
