  Cough, cough... This weekend started out really great, but it turned into poo when I got sick. This is the first day of the week I went to school. I feel really unmotivated and I would rather not do my homework, but if I don't I'll end up failing. And I must do well this quarter, because I have to get rid of these icky grades. Also, I'm really sick and tired of hearing about the war. That's all I heard yesterday. My mom had the radio on to the local public radio and it was news about the war...ALL DAY! And I'm also tired of hearing the celebrities protesting the war. I know that most people are against it, and I respect that.
War is evil, but it's a necessary evil. We can't just sit around and wait for things to get better on their own. His people have been oppressed for too long. When a leader uses his own innocent people as shields for his buildings, it's pretty much decided that something has to be done.
