People really need to get their priorities in order although I can't say I'm much better. There's an article right now on BBC that discusses how people value their Ipods more than their passports and how in general that's a really bad idea. Sign of the times.

Today is Friday. I'm sure that didn't escape anyone's notice. However, more importantly I don't teach or go to class on Fridays this semester which leaves it to me to find the discipline deep down inside of me to actually be productive. Well I've been productive so far today. I've woke up, read the news, and written blog entry. If that's not productive I don't know what is.
On a different note I think I'm going to like the classes I'm taking this semester. Family Communication sounds really interesting and we have to come up with a topic for our term paper within three weeks. I'm still banging around with ideas but I think that I'm going to do something with geographically dispersed families. Online social interaction should also be fun. I'm posting the link to the syllabus but at the time of this posting it hasn't been functioning. Hopefully it'll be up soon as I'd like to get a start scheduling my readings and diving into the material.
