i just finished watching the pope's funeral. For now, all i've gotta say is that, by far, it was the most powerful and emotional moment i've witnessed/experienced so far in my life.i've got so much more to say..so much more i've been wanting to write about... but this will do for now.
[edit]
this post is outdated as you can tell. what i'm about to relay are only MY opinions and MY point of view. it's not going to be a great piece of work, with proper grammar.. nor will it inhabit a good writing style. i'm not writing to brainwash you with my ideas, but simply to express my feelings/values...for myself. during the time of the pope's last days and funeral, many expressed their feelings, and i felt i had to do the same. pope john paul II was the only pope that i've known in my life. although some of his ideas and values were different than mine, i still respected him man, as the leader of my religion, and for the values that we shared. throughout his reign, he spoke of peace and unity. president george w. bush agreed with the pope's opinions-- no abortions, no women in the priesthood, against homosexuality, no contraception, etc. agreeing with the pope, the president gave the him the medal of freedom, the highest honor he could bestow on someone not in the military. right after, the pope expressed his gratitude, and said something along the lines as "thank you...and i think this war on iraq is wrong and should end". all he wanted was to unite everyone, and in his funeral, he did. so many dignitaries from different faiths, some sworn enemies, came to show their respects to this world figure. i've watched the news during the days that led up to his death, and of course, the funeral too. to know that he did not want to go to a hospital and that he wanted to eventually pass on in his vatican apartment shows me his dignity. i decided to watch this with my parents in the living room, rather than alone in my room. within the first few minutes, i felt the tears and emotions swell up inside. watching the footage was just breathtaking. to see all those people--the dignitaries, the cardinals, the polish that migrated to the vatican to see their "leader", the crowd swarmed with people all all ages/nationalities, the footage of other countries watching the funeral..i can't find words to express the feeling it gave me. i know there's going to be a new pope elected soon, but i can't help but picture pope john paul II. it's going to be hard to change that face i imagine when i hear the word "pope". and lastly, his will. i had watched a biography on his prior to all of this, so to reading the will really hit me...especially with the section where he said he was going to reunited with his parents and siblings once again. his will itself is such a great peice of writing. ok. that'll do...

SDOFIUWN*^f8*^fspring break was greatt, although i didn't get to see certain peepole.
finally ALL my grades from my classes last quarter are posted. got what i expected/hoped for in stats and accounting =D... borderline A/B in business law. did all that crummy reading and extra credit and i pulled off an A. WEEEE!
first day of spring quarter was pretty interesting. poli sci and chicano lit both seem cool. surprisingly, my business information systems teacher seem cool, despite her bad ratings on rate my professor. turns out our class doesn't meet on fridays since only "internet work" is due. yayyy.
karen..this is going to be a PRODUCTIVE quarter. you will stay on top of your readings and study till it hurts. you'll keep your room clean, help around the house, and do your laundry before your laundry basket is overflown with clothes. you'll ________ .
i'm a loser..
but have a nice day!
