The air was cool and crisp this morning, a slight breeze shivered through the atmosphere as Susan walked down the concrete sidewalk. She had a light purple jacket clasped around her as her footsteps echoed down the abandoned street. Nobody ever came out this early in the morning, but she didn’t mind. Instead, Susan preferred having a bit of quiet time to herself before truly starting the day.

“Uhm, excuse me miss but I think I may be lost, I’m new here…” said a stranger chuckling nervously, as he walked up to Susan.

She must’ve been daydreaming as she didn’t notice this man until he had just walked up, “Of course, let's see... this is West Lang’s street, do you mind if I ask where you’re going?” she inquired, studying the man for a moment.

“I’m a new employee at Jepson’s Law Firm, I was just taking a morning walk to find where everything was, and then I went and got myself lost.” He smiled embarrassed, scratching the back of his head as he grinned awkwardly.

“Ahh, no way, I work there too. I heard we were getting a new lawyer soon, funny we should meet. If you wanna get to the Firm from here just take a left on Virginia Lane and it’ll be up there to your right.” Susan nodded.

“Well thanks for all your help, so glad I get to meet a friendly face before going into my first day of work. Guess we’ll be seeing each other again, oh and my name’s Mark.” he finally said, giving her a nod before jogging off in the direction she had specified.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

i highly recommend james madison. the work is simple and if you stick to it you can graduate quickly. the work is simple and the teachers are very interactive. the flow of the school work is all on your time so it's not really a dead line. go on their website and look at pricing and enrollment plans. i know when i signed up i got a discount. you pay a certain amount of money every month. it's kind of expensive but i did it in 6 days tops with just my senior year left : )
