Not motivated

At this time, I cannot stir the kinds of motivational feeling necessary for me to do any kind of work whatsoever for school, which I desperately need to do within the next several hours. I still have everything I listed yesterday, with exception for my lab notebook, which is all up to date.

Tonight's agenda includes Spanish and thesis work. Of course, that should have been the agenda five or six hours ago. Maybe even yesterday.

I am really wanting this semester to go by so quickly, because then I can actually get something done with my time, instead of constant worry and fear about school. I intend on taking a few hours over the summer, 3 history, 3-6 chemistry, and 5 japanese, at the least. That would leave fall with 3 history, 0-3 chemistry, 4 french and 5 japanese. Easy, by all standards.

So South Carolina's results were far from what I predicted. I did not see Obama routing all of the democrats so easily. Everyone is chalking it up to the fact that he's black and all the democrats there are black, which is certainly an understatement. I think the democrats have real concern in the south if Obama is nominated, simply because of race. I seriously doubt anyone believes that there is no racism in the south. If Obama gets the presidential nomination, regardless of who the republican is, I see every last old confederate state, with notable exception to Florida and Louisiana, the first which is nothing like the old south and the second which has so many problems, no one pays attention to them, going red for sure. I don't even see the idea of toss-up factoring into the equation if it's Obama vs. Republicans. It's sad, but unfortunately, it's true.

That being said, the bloodbath for the donkeys continues. Super Tuesday may be super only in that Obama, Clinton, and Edwards will have to slaughter each other to get anywhere. The question is whether the three of them will have enough blood left over to fight Republicans. Right now, I think that may be in doubt. The Democrats' refusal to admit Michigan and Florida delegate to their convention this year is an insult to the people there and can lead to disaster in 10 months. If the republicans nominate a moderate, McCain or Giuliani, two men with very few ties to Pres. Bush, the democrats are in serious trouble.

Ugh, stop writing Ray, and freaking do some work!
