Kiss the Flag

Welllll, my application to UT Law is going out today...it's really been a team effort getting this thing ready; professional reviewers, professional letters of recommendation...lot's of logistics and leg work involved...phew, glad it's almost over.

National Defense and Intelligence Policy is a pretty eye opening class this semester. As a student of International Politics I sort of understand the relationships between states and their allies, but what really puts into perspective how intertwined the relationships are is the types of ballistic missiles these states have in common...you can get a great deal of relationship insight, for example, by which nations share China's CSS "DongFeng" missile technology...very cool stuff...well if you're a dorkus malorkus like me it's pretty cool (by the way the whole missile/relationship exercise wasn't a class assignment, that was just for fun...next step is to find the Chinese missile manufacturing plants on Google Earth).

Workouts are going great, except that I've lost my work out partner due to my school schedule...and it's so difficult to stay motivated by myself; but onward I must trudge.

Oh, and the title of this post? Well, I just can't get enough of Evans Blue lately. Evans Blue precariously walks a fine line between good music and generic pussy rock, but their lyrics have enough depth, and their guitars enough hook to pull it off.
