Religion in Public Schools

I'm all for separation of church and state. I am. If i am at school, don't preach at me and try to convert me to Christianity. HOWEVER i don't think religion should be kept out of public schools completely... you can teach ABOUT a religion and not try to convert people.... but you have to teach about MANY religions if any will be taught at all. this lack of information to students as they are growing is leading to ignorant and religious illiterate people.

Teach it. don't preach it... but for the love of all that is good in the world TEACH IT.

people need to learn about other religions if they want to function properly in the world without being driven by fear and hate.... teach them while they are young to understand others around them and they will develop into well rounded adults... not fearful hate-mongering idiots.

thinking through college classes

ok so...

i don't need any more science.
no more math.

but i havn't started my minor... thats 8 classes (3 hours each).

OK so... 4 semesters left, if i take 6 classes each (gods help me) then thats 24 classes.
of those classes have to be writing intensive

i need to take

  •  2 more core anth classes (Theory and Methods = both in spring. one next year and one senior both are writing intensive)
  • 1 social science
  • 1 Upper Anth Elective
  • 1 fine arts (hoping for public speaking)
  • KINE = PE.
  • 8 Minor classes
  • 6 Elective classes
  • 2 Spanish classes

thats (5+8+6+2+1) = 22 classes

Next semester i will try to take:

KINE
Spanish 3
Motherhood of God 
COM 2410

i also want to try and take 2 classes for my minor....
but I CAN'T FIND A FRIGGIN LIST OF CLASSES THAT COUNT FOR CREATIVE WRITING.

obviously i can take the intro classes but damn. i wanna knowwwww...

so i'll add:
Intro to creative writing
American folklore (Kitt - this is WI so i'll be good on that front) - count as a humanity?- elective?

KINE -  to be determined
Spanish 3 -  to be determined
Motherhood of God - MWF 11:00 am-11:50 am, BUNGER
COM 2410 - MWF 01:00 pm-01:50 pm, JOYEAS 00214, Brittany Myles Wright Thompson
Intro to creative writing - TR 11:00 am-12:15 pm, Donald Alexander Albright (P), BATE
American Folklore - TR 12:30 pm-01:45 pm, Andrea Kitta (P), BATE

which leads 3 semesters left to take 16 classes left to take over 3 semesters....
Theory
Methods
Span 4
7 classes for my minor
1 social science
5/6 elective classes

now..... some of the electives i want to take include:
The Paranormal english class
The Brothers Grimm Folktales class
The Alienes and archeology class

some of the english courses i know that should be in the creative writing minor

warning... sex post.

So... the other day i slept with Corie.


And i was able to go for a bit... but once again its like i lost interest half way through.

i have come to the conclusion that... i just... don't like sex.
I don't crave it.
i don't think the world revolves around it.
i don't hope for it when i think about having a significant other (although make out sessions are always welcome)

sex is not really my thing....

as weird as that is.


I'm more of a Chimp than a banobo...

Banobo chimps resolve everything with sex and trade sex for favors and such.

The "Standard" Chimp does the same only with grooming and touch rather than sex.

Its interesting how we are just as closley related with both.... in both genetics and behavior. Most people lean towards banobos.... i'm more of a chimp.

  3.  Publication Format, Design, and Purpose
Paragraph 2

The Atlantic's online home page is divided into different genres for the reader so that they can more easily find articles and stories that interest them. This is done in layers that with the top story is given the most space and underneath that are more top stories. Next comes A section for stories in progress is presented, which goes to to show that the Atlantic doesn't just focus on things after they happen, it follows events as they unfold. The section after that are videos on a variety of topics, from socio-cultural to science to politics; often a mix in-between. Political articles follows, then technology, the top 5 most popular articles, photos, and science. The format gets even more detailed by having separate sections for U.S. news and Global news. Business, culture, education, and health  bring up the rear end of the genres being displayed. The fact that the Atlantic not only publishes stories in a written format but also visual and auditory formats allows it's audience to be more wide spread.
