I am in an incredibly bad mood and I can't figure out why. Is it just stress? Maybe. My exams are after Christmas. But this is uncharacteristic. Pretty much everything and everyone is irritating me at the moment.

So, on Friday night we had a Thanksgiving dinner. A bunch of friends all got together at someone's flat and ate a whole lot of food. The flat was donated by the Dalkeith trio, 3 of the fourth years who live together on Dalkeith Road. The dinner was organised by another fourth year, and in a fit of what I now realize was COMPLETE and TOTAL madness ( Read more... )

I was crushed when I found out Prop 8 was passed. But I also think it will be overturned, absolutely, no question, given time.

The cast came off on Monday. As I was hoping, the doctor didn't bother to recast me, since we were so close to the end of the 6 weeks. He didn't even take radiographs. Now I'm wearing a cushy brace and I'm supposed to be squeezing a little ball to train my muscles. The wrist is fabulously weak, sore on the edge of the break, but functional and ( Read more... )

So, I just read this little gem on CNN.com.
