Question #1: what political party are you most closely aligned with and why?
I do not associate myself with any party. I feel like there are both good things and not so good things within each party's agenda/ideology. I am fairly liberal in social issues, and fit into the libertarian party most comfortably in that area. However, in issues dealing with the economy and the federal government's size/power/limitations I tend to lean to the conservative side. Overall, I have been rated as a "liberal centrist." I usually end up supporting republican candidates during elections..lesser of two evils...

Mid-week Status Report

Well, the first quarter interims are comming out soon, and I can't say I'm happy with any of my grades as they are right now. I believe I have set a new personal record for lowest grade on a grade report with a 25% in astronomy (missed half of the assignments). Beside all that fun stuff, not much has happened. CLC's tonight were fun, but as is normal for me, I could afford Chipotle and am going hungry again...For all you reading this by the way, I feel bad for you. Why you might ask...it is sad that you care what I write, but flatering so keep it up...I'm hungry so im gonna stop typing now, so as Mr. Timn would say "I'm gonna get me some of that ice cream boy..."
