I just got done reading the possibly the four most depressing short stories ever.

"A Rose for Emily"-William Faulkner, an aristocratic woman who has lost all of her money dies and her boyfriend from 30 years before is found decaying in their marital bed... eww.

"The Lottery"-Shirley Jackson, weird town has a lottery where the wwinner is stoned to death.

"Harrison Bergeron"-Kurt Vonnegut, in a futuristic America everyone is equalized, Bergeron tries to liberate people but is ultimately killed and no one is even effected by his death on national television.

"The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas"-Ursela LeGuin, a small town's euphoric happiness is thanks to a young child kept in a small basement room in squallor.

I'm sick, again. I really don't want to go to chemistry tomorrow. I've lost my lab journal and everyone in there is just so bleh. They're all in the nursing program, which means they're all bo-ring.

I voted a couple days ago. And I even have the sticker to prove it.
