Another Paper about Genocide...which i should be writing right now

Now that exams have kind of died down, it's time to be focusing on something more important (this blog ha..ha).  No, actually some essays.  I have a Spanish one coming up, that should be interesting, but right now my focus is on another paper for another class that is due soon.  How does this paper pertain to my blog?  Well...it's about Genocide, something I now rarely discuss with people (out of frustration) but is of the upmost importance to me.  In particular, I will be focusing on the ongoing genocide in Darfur and the media's coverage of it (eighteen words down only about a thousand more to go!). 

The subject of Genocide is extremely important to me.  It is my topic when it comes to papers, essays, presentations, but more importantly, its rooted in my family history.  I grew up hearing the shocking stories of the Armenian Genocide and as i got older i grew a disgusted with the fact that i continued to exist.  Also, not to mention, Genocide is kind of like my "fall back" topic.  You know, the subject that we can write an essay on that no matter what kind of information we find, it will always, always, always, be of interest of us.  Maybe a better way to put it is passion.  Yeah, passion is a good word.  

I would much rather be theorizing why I choose the subjects that I choose but right now journalist/political commentator/author Walter Lippmann is calling my name.  He makes some excellent points and I prefer I him from that other guy (you know who you are, Dewey!).  

And I Think Its Gonna to be a Long Long Time

Well....it's been a long long time since I last posted.  I shouldn't even be on here right now.  I have exams this week and i should be studying/panicking for those.  I have studied but it seems like its not enough.  Is it ever enough? I mean can anybody be fully prepared?  The one i'm worried about is Spanish.  I feel like i know the material, but i don't.  Por ejemplo, no puedo decirlo off the top of mi cabeza, I need time to think.  If you ask me: "Catia, what are the negative informal commands of these verbs: _____, _______, and _______?" I need to take the time to write: no juegues, no digas, y no comas.  Thankfully the exam is not oral, because then who knows what language will come out of my mouth.  I don't speak Armenian fluently at all, but sometimes when I'm in Spanish class, some words just slip out.  Suddenly, "I like apples" is me gustan khensors.  And ¿qué quiere? becomes einch u ssez?<-- Please note that is not the correct spelling of "what do you want?" in Armenian.  Most of the Armenian on this blog is translated into English letters from what it actually sounds like.  

And don't get me started on counting in Spanish.  It's not completely in Spanish.  It's more like this: uno, dos, tres, chorse, hink, vets, yote, ute, eine, deiz!  That's Sparmenglish for you.

I think I'll stick to counting in English.  

Ojalá que escriba en el blog más a menudo.
