Social Issues, World Issues

The Cove is back in the news again. This time they are trying to open an Marine Water Park. Supposedly The Cove is trying to create a tourist environment in which people can swim with the dolphins, eat the dolphins, and continue an environment that accepts the needless slaughter of dolphins.

In other news, I'm not sure whether last week's Japanese Club meeting was a success or a failure. We held a special social issues night to discuss current events and social problems in Japanese club and it was offered by our adviser, the only Japanese Professor on campus, as extra credit for her students. We had a good turnout and the students got very involved with the presentations. Apparently they didn't read the whole email or something because it was advertised as social issues. Well the main thing is that misunderstanding and miscommunication occurred about the event.

Unfortunately I am going to have to use a heavy hand and explain to my board members their positions and duties at the next board meeting tomorrow because they seem to have either forgotten or misunderstood what their individual tasks are. They want to negotiate everything and try to supersede me when all I am trying to do is instruct them and guide them to success. I am not looking forward to the next board meeting because I have to be firm and keep them collected and together. I know one person will probably try to rebel against me and I really know not why.


Space Robot Kirobo was in the news several weeks ago. I completely forgot to finish this post. Urgh I'm such a silly space cadet.

In other news, the former president of Nintendo passed away a few weeks ago. Hiroshi Yamauchi was only 85 years old when he passed.

Well, that is all for now.
