not feeling too bad for only 3 hours of sleep.. I mean i've been exhausted with more sleep. I cant believe the weather this morning. the sunrise was beautiful i almost wish that i would have gotten up earlier and rode my bike in today. kinda nervous about this reasearch paper but i think ill be alright whenever i can see what one looks like. i mean the topic isn't hard its just getting it started i'm having trouble with... blah blah blah. if i had a million dollars what would i do? i think i would go to a third world country and help set up a sustainable agulcutlre system, maybe to help set up a irragation system to help give them clean drinking water that might help with no contracting so many desieases. would get a lot of non perishable foods to help them while waiting on crops to grow and things. most people say they would buy a new house or a car or something, and i might but that wouldnt' be my first priority. i might go and buy a small cheap house nothing spectacular that way i could store my stuff whenever i'm gone to whatever country.

wow i feel good just rode 9 miles before class and my legs are sore. its been awhile since ive been on a bike but it was good. i was shocked at how much i got done this morning. It's april fools day, im kinda curious if ashton is planning anything and what to expect... Yesterday was the first time that i meet all of ashtons family for easter and it was fun. watching emma and eli look for eggs and play with the chicks was halarious. they're too sweet. anyway i think i might go for another bike ride after school today. i forgot how great it feels. the wind in your face the sweat dripping down your forehead..Great... or i might take a nap. It's 7 in the morning and im thinking about a nap. it might be a long day? who knows not excited to take a quiz and a test today but i think i will be fine. i need to make some more note cards for my Anatomy class. to study for the test friday.... Project=hammok i cant wait to start on that one either. i might start on that this weekend that way i can get some more supplies. i've never made a hammok before but i'm sure it will be fun learning to macromae or use some of the knots that i've learned recently. kinda excited about that too.. got alot to be excited about. and earth day is coming up. gonna plant a tree, that should be fun. maybe start a compost box but i need to find a place that sells worms. maybe with it being spring i will have better luck on that search because im sure people will be out fishing more and more since its nice outside now. hammok, earth day, bike,.. so glad that its getting nicer outside. glad its spring. take yesterday for example it was beautiful, i mean georgous. give me more days like that please. i wont complain. It's like the goldie locks of weather. not too hot not too cold but just write.

Snow? not a fan. but who knows this is Missouri. it could be sunny and 70 one minuite and the opposite the next. I guess thats why they say if you don't like the weather just wait a minuite and it will change. I'm glad its the first day of spring thats always nice. Had a good spring break, went to branson to a marriage siminar that was a present from my new father in law and it was amazing. I learned so much. I'm glad that we went. now i feel equipt with the tools to help build a great marriage and im always excited to get to work. I love Ashton so very very much. picked up a couple new books and im also excited to read them. got started on one yesterday and I think its going to be really good. I have never seen a book with so many quotes from people, like 5 pages of quotes on how awesome this book is. I got to stay in a hotel this weekend and that was cool. I've only done that once before in my life and that was before leaving for boot camp. The Hilton is super nice and thats where the weekend to remember convention was held. I'm glad we went to this seminar at the begining of our marriage so that we can build healthy habbits and apply what we have learned before we get stuck in our ways and create bad habits. It was nice.

Cameron Cruise Mr. Neuburger Eng. Comp 101 18 March 2013 Response “A film not yet finished” This is a movie about a movie used for the World War two Holocaust Propaganda. It is spoken in the native tongue of the characters involved. This film has impacted me strongly, in the sense to get a visual perspective on the frightening deeds that humanity is capable of whenever we just trust the governing class to make moral decisions for us. By Quietly being passive and doing whatever we are told can sometimes have huge consequences, even if the idea is portrayed to be good for us or good for our country. It also shocks me that the moral compass can be so far off in a group of people that it could lead to the genocide of another race. Summarizing this movie in essence is trying forget all of the gruesome details that are involved in genocide, but I will give a few interesting points that I feel like make this pursuit of extinction different from the others that have happened throughout history and are still going on today. The first thing that draws disction to me is that in the holocaust the “pursuit of purity” was extremely creative and very will planned. From the usage of propaganda to the extermination methods. One could argue that people would never let such a thing happen if it was coming at them in full force and right in front of their face. So perhaps the need for creativity was derived from insuring that this plan be executed flawlessly and without the interruption of people opposing the idea that a few determined was the answer to all their problems. Another dramatic difference in this extinction episode that varies from the mass genocides that are taking place as we speak, is the attention that this one event has received. Does the holocaust attain more attention because it was perhaps more creative than what we have ever seen, or wish to see? Or was it the fact that it was an “elimination express lane” that draws the attention of the civilized class of culture. Whatever it so compelling about this event eludes me. The one thing that doesn't surprise me most is the lack of sanitation and the starvation involved. But what shocks me most is the numbers. An Estimated six million people died DURING the holocaust, six million people die annually from stravation alone.
