So I have a homework assignment for my "Sociocultural Perspectives" class which is due tomorrow. I know I've left it late, but I was a bit busy working on my other class and trying to figure out how to fulfill the tutoring assignment for this class -- looks like I'm going to have a conversation that goes, "Yes I'd like to volunteer, but no white ( Read more... )

I want a falafel sandwich, dammit. With the tahini sauce, and the chickpeas, and... mmmm.
