This picture made me laugh for some reason.... haha I love Bluebonnets (thank you Mrs. Johnson!)
This week has been a little crazy for me. I did not get to go home for Easter because I had to study for two tests scheduled for Monday (which consequently I did not do too well on). I also had a test that I was supposed to take Tuesday but it got moved to Thursday because the teacher messed up the copies of the test. I also have a HUGE paper due ("Huge"= length and meaningfulness) on Thursday which I am slowly but surely finishing. The paper I am writing is actually a policy brief. The subject is mandating HPV vaccines for girls. I am actually learning a lot so if you ever want to know anything about HPV, HPV vaccinations, or the current policy in Texas regarding mandated vaccines let me know! I have really enjoyed my Children and Public Policy class (which is the class I am writing the paper for) even though my teacher is a serious liberal. I'm pretty sure she thinks that we should all be heavily taxed so that everyone can be equal, countries like Iceland are an example. I would like to go to Iceland and talk to the people about the way they feel about being taxed so heavily. When one looks at the data in regards to Iceland they are on or around the top ,in comparison to the world, in many things: low infant mortality rates, education, etc... My teacher argues that we should spend less money on the military and space travel (not sure how I feel about the space travel thing, maybe it is a good idea?) and more money on the health and well-being of children. I get what she is saying but a part of me wonders...What if a terrorist attack happened in Iceland and military assistance was needed right away, my guess is that the US would be right there to protect the small country. (Am I right?)
Forgive me if I sound ignorant, that was just an idea I had. What do y'all think?
Let me know! :)
