I’m a bad, bad person,

hyuriand also an absolutely shitty student. I’m dropping a couple of classes, because hey! completely forgetting about them for two weeks does not bode well for my possible grades.
good thing I only need 1 credit, eh? maybe; apparently I might have 15 already.
anyway, on to other stuff: I finished my latest book, The Soldiers’ Story: Vietnam in Their Own Words. picked it up on a whim at B&N; definitely one of my better decisions. the transcription/editing is somewhat spotty (e.g. “war in officer” rather than “warrant officer”), but the stories are clear despite that. grammatically, it’s a very easy read; emotionally it is somewhat less easy. highly recommended.
I’ve now moved on to the other book I picked up at the same time, Steel My Soldiers’ Hearts. it so far looks as though it will be an even better read, as it follows an entire battalion for some 4 months rather than a single individual to a company for a few hours or days. deeper, anyway.
