State of the Union

Quite an interesting day so far now that I'm catching about an hour of quiet time. This morning I woke up from a dream involving me discussing last night's State of the Union address with Barak Obama. I was agreeing with his assessment of the health care proposal by George W. We both agree that without benefit of having the total package carefully constructed, Bush's plan is yet another lame attempt to resolve the health care crisis in America. Without benefit of understanding how to control costs and effectively deliver health care initiatives proportionally and fairly to all Americans, giving a tax break does nothing but further corrupt an already poorly constructed system. I think it was pretty cool having a dream where I was interacting with political leaders given the fact that I am not the most politically skilled debater. I was feeling really powerful and smart in this dream.

Anyway, I woke up late as usual so I had to go to the midday workout as opposed to early morning. I certain made up for yesterday's lackluster workout...so much so that I literally found myself really pushing myself hard. As I was walking home, I ran into my sister. She was on her way back home so I lucked out and got a ride which I really needed considering that I was slightly limping. Needless to say I bought Icy Hot for my right knee. No pain no gain right? A hot shower helped as well. When I get home tonight I have to type up my homework for Advanced Seminar. At least I worked on it yesterday evening and wrote out my notes so it should only take about an hour to put in memo form. I am really focused on staying on top of this so that I won't be as crazed towards the end of the semester. Anyway...better go and get in my last 20 minutes of relaxation. Some hot cocoa sounds good right about now. If I get a chance I'll revisit the post to talk about my take on the State of the Union address.
