This week we had two maps due, a physical map and a political map for Southwest Asia. They were pretty easy because it was a small area of land. We also started reading about the ethnic conflicts in Iraq. Our class was split into groups, and each group was either Sunni, Shi'ite, or Kurdish. My group was Kurdish, and we control a lot of the oil in Iraq. Unfortunatly, we're not quite sure what our plan for peace is yet...but that's ok, we'll figure it out Monday!
This weekend I'm going to go do Keep Austin Beautiful, volunteer at Town Lake, a populat place downtown. Some people at my church are going and we'll be canoeing in the lake and cleaning up trash along the banks and in the water. I'm also going to my friend's house with a few other people tomorrow and spending the night. Other than that, it was a pretty uneventful week...
