Two months left!

That's all there is in this semester, give or take about 10 hours or so. The frustrating thing is that I am not over 50% in more than two classes. I did just pass 50% in biochemistry because Ray got a 99.5% on his last test. Booya!

I also got a 98.5% on my French test from last week, huzah.

I finished my presentation for immunology today. It's going to be so freaking amazing, it's not even funny. Basically, most people in the class just type full sentences in a row on their power points, whereas I only put key words or phrases in so that people are forced to listen to me.

I do have one political issue to discuss today. I've been following for the last four weeks or so the rate at which nations have recognized Kosovo as an independent state. I remember back in the 90s when these people were getting slaughtered, and now that they've broken free from Serbia's clutches, they've been having a hard time getting sympathy outside of Europe. Out of 192 countries in the world, only 32 have recognized Kosovo (USA, Canada, Costa Rica, Peru, Ireland, Iceland, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Germany, Denmark, Belgium, The Netherlands, Luxembourg, France, Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria, Albania, Turkey, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Afghanistan, Malaysia, Senegal, Australia, Japan) and about an equal number refuse to recognize, which I find insulting, because these are people trying to make lives for themselves without having to fear being murdered or ethnically cleansed. Shame on the countries without the balls to stand up to Russia: Ukraine, Algeria, Georgia, Armenia, etc. These people have earned the right to be free. Give them that right!

I'm determined to know at least 10 languages in the next 10 years. I've got two down pat (English and Spanish), and the other 8 I would like to learn are French, Latin, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, American Sign Language, Irish Gaelic, and probably German.

I would seriously do Peace Corps if it was a one year commitment, but these people demand 27 months. Ph.D. programs are NOT forgiving for taking that much time off.

Ugh, I am TIRED. I need to get some sleep so that I can spend tomorrow cooking.
