Foundation series, and recent happenings

I recently read the Foundation series, ( by Issac Asimov ). It was a pretty good book , I did not like the swearing, but the story was interesting. It really is an amazing science fiction story, based in the future, when mankind grew to inhabit almost all of the galaxy's planets. The story is a astronomical-psychological science definition fiction , blending both categories of science. The plot is that a psychologist  ( Hari Seldon ) predicted that the Galactic Empire ( which had conquered most of the galaxy, and has a capital named Trantor ) would fall soon, and thirty thousand years of barbarism would follow before a second Galactic Empire would rise.  He then devised a plan that ,with the help of two foundations, the time would shorten to 1 thousand years only. The book goes on through many Seldon crisis , and where there was a crisis, Seldon  ( having predicted it ) would hologram himself to the leaders of the foundation and explain how to overcome it. But his predictions did not take in the fact of the Mule, who was a mutant,( and could control emotions ) and he conquered the First foundation. Later a second foundation-er made it so the Mule would die in a year or so, and so restored power to the first foundation. At the end of the book everyone tries to find the second foundation ( where there are people who can control minds ) but failed ( obviously ).

I am taking HIST 201 , So far in my history course we have covered the beginnings of Human kind to the Axial age ,and I am going to take my midterm soon. I have almost finished my art class ( ART45 ) and I have read a book that goes along with my history course. It is called : The Conquest of Gaul : Caesar .Which is written by Julius Caesar, and describes his campaigns in Gaul ( France ) and his final conquest of it. It is interesting and it is cool to listen to battle descriptions. Julius Caesar conquers some of Gaul, but then tribes revolt and then he conquers them again, By 51 BC however , all of Gaul is under the Roman yolk. The book also describes his crossing of the Rhine into Germany and his invasion of Britain. 

We have been going to the beach a lot recently, boogie boarding and surfing. Its really fun, you have to catch the wave right as it crashes for maximum effect.
