The rest of the weekend was spent cleaning our room and then destroying it at the next movie night and then cleaning it again.

This week in class we've learned some really great things about conflict management and what that entails. We had a lecturer come in who is a historian and we discussed how history affects conflict and could either help promote peace or it could enable war.

Peace journalism is interesting, it just makes me frustrated because to me the basis of peace journalism, which is more fully covered stories that have views from all sides of the issue, should be the way all journalism is done. Its responsible journalism so it shouldn't be like a big controversial issue, but alas it is.

It is very much becoming late fall early winter here. I was going to try to take some pictures of the tree/leaves to post on here, but they have already turned from bright orange/yellow/red to brown. Kate and I went on a walk around town the other day and stumbled upon a wonderfully beautiful cemetery that was covered in the brightest yellow/orange leaves I've ever seen!

The forecast calls for snow next week...
