Welcome...and initial guidelines...

This blog will be used in the spring of 2008 by 80+ students at Drexel University to investigate the effects of Iraq on culture and the reverse. Our goal will be to better understand why the US is in Iraq, and to question whether literature can help us on this journey.

Weekly plans and other materials will always be posted in Vista, not this blog. So go to Bb Vista to get the discussion prompts and other instructions.

I intend this blog to manage our discussions and track our collective investigation.

You should have received an email from me inviting you to become a contributor to this blog. The email was sent Monday afternoon to your official Drexel email address.

Memorial Day Weekend

So for Memorial Day, 2008, I spent the majority of my day doing homework and studying for my math exam that is on Wednesday the 28th. I also spent part of my day in traffic on the Atlantic City Expressway on my way back to Drexel from home. I had a fun weekend though. All of my friends from home are done school already so they were all home and we partied nice and hard. It really just made me miss home and hate school more. I'm ready for summer but Drexel screws us. The only Memorial Day-ish thing that I did was watch the Great Escape about 5 times on AMC. I love that movie. Steve McQueen is the man. But I guess that was all I did. Absolutely nothing out of the ordinary.
