You're on Spring Break?
I officially hate you. Mine doesn't start for two more weeks.

Eww.
ImANargleHunter, welcome to the Internet, circa 2008.
What terrifies me is how little is going to be done about this.
The US won't intervene. The US and Russia have never ever engaged in a hot war. We'd be fools to start now, the result would surely be World War 3.
Europe won't intervene. Russia could do far more damage to them in terms of political and economic pressures. Militarily, most everything pales in comparison to countries with a nuclear arsenal.
The UN won't intervene. Even if Russia follows the rules of the Security Council and abstains from such a vote, China would certainly veto it. I wouldn't be surprised if France did as well. If, and it's a huge if, the resolution ever made it to the UN floor, I fear it would be paralyzed by UN inaction once more. Sadly, the UN is just plain ineffective in preventing big conflicts like this, especially when it involves one of the superpowers. I can't imagine the UN voting to act against one of its most influential members, to do so would likely tear apart the facade that holds that organization together.
So Russia will retake Crimea, or swallow Ukraine whole. I think the former is more likely than the latter, Russia is probably only interested in the warm sea port and the Russian inhabitants of that peninsula than the whole of Ukraine. It wouldn't surprise me if they installed their own puppet government again, or helped the campaign of a pro-Russia supporter get into office in the next elections, if only to placate Europe and the world and assure them that Russia doesn't want World Domination.
Just Crimea. Russia has always wanted Crimea.

Quit giving away my secrets!Also, a quick post. Sector rangers. Nicely played. I had to look that one up on Wookieepedia because I didn't get the reference at first. Color Zak impressed. Which, hopefully impressed is a green color, because I can't imagine Zak as anything else.
I think he'd look ravishing in purple.
I'm currently taking Computer Science Theory, which is basically doing a lot of math and logical proofs to verify that which computers are already programmed to know.
I'm not a great math student. I'm pretty sure I hit my math barrier with Trig, Calc was hard enough to learn, and I'm deathly afraid of integrals. DO NOT ASK ME TO INTEGRATE.
It also doesn't help that my professor has been feeding us the answers to the homework. Which is great, I've gotten full points on the homework, but now what the fuck do I study for my test? Now he expects us to know and understand how to work out the problems, when he didn't for the homework?!
*sigh*
Yeah, you can see how well I'm prepared for this test. And it's at 8 in the morning, so I get to wake up bright dark and early to sit for a math test while my brain is still trying to wake up.
