no problem :) how's your summer going?

[lilicious]

It's going pretty well. I'm starting some work in a chemistry professor's research lab and I'm still working part time at the law center. My classes ended a few weeks ago (two ochem labs). I'm excited for moving in to the dorms again. I'm going to have a single with loft beds and I have a fridge! lol What a life I have? I'll have to treat you to some dorm food if you ever miss it next year. Whammie? We should hang out sometime before school starts.

Part of me is angry and wants to smack people with sticks, but part of me is also cheering at how far women have come in the education world so that now they have to compensate for us. It's like now they have to have affirmative action for guys. lol.

Yeah, really good article. I think the boys' advocate's point is well received: letting underqualified boys into college doesn't repair the damage done earlier in their education. Really good read.

That was my reaction too! Great minds...
