...is that man WHO KNEW HE HAD XDR-TB, who HAD MONEY, who FLEW around the globe with XDR-TB retarded?

i doubt that he didn't know the implications of his situation. no, he's not like daniels. daniels has also received a lot of media attention lately for being incarcerated indefinitely for having XDR-TB and not wearing a mask in public, can not be faulted; he was ignorant, he grew up in russia, he was poor, the doctors didn't adequately warn him of his situation. his actions weren't completely autonomous but the other man's was.

he should be locked up. convicted even for sentencing others to death.

how appropriate is it to "indefinitely jail" someone who has contracted a most dangerous--almost non-curable--strain of TB for not following medical advice and not wearing a mask in public?

...why do i even attempt to study?

Working diligently on an essay I accidentally missed room draw for the second year straight! ARG! I was forced to choose a single on the fourth floor of mark hopkins. I guess it's not the end of the world though.

But still this day has been a downer.

Too much @)*#*#@*#@*(@#**#@ work to go to the gunther and the sunshine girl concert and too much work to go to Prof. Bong's keg party. Argh.

I got ice cream to make up for that. Actually not just any ice cream, but GELATO ice cream. A small red orange and a large green tea gelato.

Life was good for a few hours. But then it stunk again. Work sucks.

I said, "screw that I'm getting dinner!" So going on my blind dinner date(?), well it wasn't a date per se, but I did eat dinner with someone who txted me. I wasn't sure who (an unfamiliar number), but if they went through all that trouble finding my cell # I decided to hell with it I'm going to get dinner with that person (whether it be guy/gal, rapist, kidnapper, i didn't care). So I did.

We met at Spice Roots, but decided we wanted to go elsewhere instead. We didn't know where but we still hopped into a car and drove, drove, drove, and drove. While we drove we talked about dinner options and I floated the ridiculous option of driving to another state and getting some grub.

Yes, we went state hopping to find a nice little eatery to eat at! And. it. was. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Food wise. The blue diner deserves two thumbs up.

...and if you were wondering...no, i didn't get raped.

Having just gotten back from breakfast and just read the NY Times article on black/white school integration I can do nothing but laugh at it's absurdness. It leaves out so many details. So many, many, many details.

It barely touches on Roy's douchebagginess.

I guess I had one of those mind-altering conversations this morning with a guy from Little Rock. And I heard his two cents--two damn good cents on the issue.

Which would you prefer?

To die from a heart attack from high cholesterol

-----or-----

To die a violent death from low cholesterol (gunshot wounds, bar fights, life sentences in prison, etc,etc,etc)

When was the last time someone told you that not enough cholesterol was not a good thing? Don't you just love how no one tells you both sides of the story? Yet this is how our society operates.

i think my brain's slowing down. senility is already starting to kick in.

i need to learn moderation.

See for yourself

CSCI class (size 18) --“Class is terrible. I thought that I’d be taking a reasonably difficult intro class, but instead, I find myself in the hardest and most time consuming class I’ve taken at Williams.” ---Fastrack


JAPN class (size 3)--“Many will enter, few will get through 102. Japanese 101-102 would easily be the biggest weeder on campus, except that the upper-level classes don't exactly get easier. …if you can survive it, the Japanese language courses will teach you a lot, and every other department will seem easy in comparison. ---willipedia”

BIMO class (size 25)--“Worst professor I've had at Williams. His Biochem class was unorganized, and I left often left class confused with concepts that I had previously understood.” --Fastrack

GEOS(T) (size 2)--It’s a friggin’ tutorial!!!!

I. am. sadistic. I. want. to. cry. WHY!?

you only live once. you can't re-live the past. there's not enough time to do everything you want and still be able to dwell on your inadequacies. life goes on.
