hello friends. I'm taking a break on catching up on this season of the office to check in with you all, that's how important you guys are to me! hah. I hear the Jim/Pam wedding is freaking cute and I am very excited to watch it. (I have tissues handy, I know I'll be needing them). Apart from that Project Runway is tonight, too. Thursday is a ridiculously awesome night for TV. I am rooting for Carol Hannah or Althea, just so you know. Hold on I have to get my portabellas off the skillet.
Okay, back. School is really intense right now. As I suspected I am pretty behind in math, but I've been going to the tutoring and that has been helpful, I recommend it! My Geology class is fascinating if not a tad depressing (I have to watch a lot of clips of people dying in Natural Disasters) it just leaves you in complete awe of nature, for example, the 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake that caused the tsunami threw off the rotation of the earth and days are now .003 seconds shorter now. Learning so much about earthquakes has really only increased my anxiety about living in LA, not that Portland was better, or any place on the west coast. Maybe I should move to Iowa, what do you guys think?
I just had my last midterm today, in English, and I think overall they went well. I feel really relieved, like I'll actually have time to have a life for five minutes. I haven't done anything fun at all since school started aside from Micha's birthday party last weekend, I don't know how I managed not to drink myself into oblivion with all this stress I've been carrying around, but somehow I managed and I think everyone had fun. I hope anyway.
I can't believe it's almost Halloween. Does anyone have anything fun planned? How about costume ideas? I was graciously invited to Gabe Rawn's annual Halloween Bash, so obviously I'll be there. I just have no idea what to go as yet. Alex suggest and Esmeralda get up, so she's the front runner for now, though I think pirate could look kinda cool with the dreads, right? If only I could have a peg leg. I bought some runts for Trick Or Treaters, I'm excited to pass them out. I wonder if we'll have any. If I'll have any, rather. James won't be back for 2 and 1/2 more weeks, but I am starting the official count now.
Just so this blog isn't totally pointless, I'll give you some food for thought. What is your opinion on multiculturalism? Is it good to respect the right of a sub-cultural that inherently oppresses women and personal freedoms to exist within your own cultural, or should individualistic, western countries not be afraid to say that their way of doing things is better, and if you wish to live within the borders, you need to assimilate? I've been reading Ayaan Hirsi Ali lately, and she definitely has me thinking!
