Good evening
Is anyone out there? I was hoping that Someone would make a comment on Something, so I could see if I was doing this right or not... I realize that there are a lot of blogs out there, but would it be so hard to get One person to talk about it? I would surely appreciate it...

Saturday, it's a good thing~
There has to be more to life than homework, but for the moment, that is what I do more than anything else. I am writing an English paper on the space program, and whether I am for it or against it. There sure are a lot of opinions out there! I would have to say though, that despite the cost, I am for it, for a number of reasons:
We are a species that by its nature needs to expand and explore. It is part of our nature to survive. We are also a species that consumes--air, water, food, minerals, organics for housing and heat--and we are depleting the available resources as we speak(in addition to creating a lot of waste.) I am a supporter of the quest to save the planet, so I would rather think of solutions to the problem, but I am also a realist. If we don't think of something soon, we will run out of resources before long (sooner than I think any of us want to admit.) So I think we have to go and find more options if we are to survive. Space is the next logical step forward.
There have always been dangers associated with exploring the unknown, that is another reality. So lives will be lost. It is inevitable. Not pleasant, but inevitable.
I also think that we have a lot of things now that are the result of the space program and its associated sciences. Things we take for granted. Too many to list here.
There is more, but I have to finish my paper, so it is time to sign off for now. More soon.

Whoooo Hooo!
Doin' my happy dance!! I got 2 scholarships from my college, and I am one happy camper. Not too bad for an "old fossil" as my kids call me. Guess I am showing them! I am ecstatic, but it has not come easily. Never let anyone tell you that college is easy, especially when you are a single mom just trying to get by. Geology is a killer, and English keeps me busy. Too bad that they are not the only classes on my schedule. I am also taking an art class, and editing a book that my college publishes called the KERF. Such fun! And all with a 3.83 GPA.
But that is not a bad thing, to work hard, and do well at something. Gotta go get some RayBan's so I can look cool now. Ray Ban's ARE still the epitome of cool, right?
Anyway, I just had to say hello to the world and let them know that I am still here. Bye.
