a new semester full of opportunities...
...to avoid studying orgo. (like so) ^_^; heh. With the exception of orgo 2, I'm really looking forward to this semester. No more 9 am lectures, no more hellish 9-9 Wednesdays, a for-fun class (Japanese calligraphy), and a bunch of other changes. The only question is when Chocolate O'clock is going to be now :). The wild card is my research, which I am now finally getting 3 credits for as of today. That means I'm supposed to spend about 9 hrs a week doing research... but it's interesting and the ppl are cool :).
blah blah blah, boring stuff... hm, lj is starting to show me how boring I am ^_^; I'm going to try and divert all the time I used to spend here into reading more books (*sigh* and of course studying). Time to revive my inner bibliophile ^_~ <3
Riham emailed me this and I thought it was noteworthy, considering Bush's inauguration is going to cost $40-some million. Ugh.

Not One Damn Dime Day - Jan 20, 2005
Since our religious leaders will not speak out against the war in Iraq,
since our political leaders don't have the moral courage to oppose it,
Inauguration Day, Thursday, January 20th, 2005 is "Not One Damn Dime Day" in
America.
On "Not One Damn Dime Day" those who oppose what is happening in our name in
Iraq can speak up with a 24-hour national boycott of all forms of consumer
spending.
During "Not One Damn Dime Day" please don't spend money. Not one damn dime
for gasoline. Not one damn dime for necessities or for important purchases.
Not one damn dime for nothing for 24 hours.
On "Not One Damn Dime Day," please boycott Wal-Mart, Kmart, Target... Please
don't go to the mall or the local convenience store. Please don't
buy any fast food (or any groceries at all for that matter).
For 24 hours, please do what you can to shut the retail economy down. The
object is simple. Remind the people in power that the war in Iraq is immoral
and illegal; that they are responsible for starting it and that it is their
responsibility to stop it.
"Not One Damn Dime Day" is to remind them, too, that they work for the
people of the United States of America, not for the international
corporations and K Street lobbyists who represent the corporations and
funnel cash into American politics.
"Not One Damn Dime Day" is about supporting the troops. Now 1,200 brave
young Americans and (some estimate) 100,000 Iraqis have died. The
politicians owe our troops a plan - a way to come home.
There's no rally to attend. No marching to do. No left or right wing agenda
to rant about. On "Not One Damn Dime Day" you take action by doing nothing.
You open your mouth by keeping your wallet closed.
For 24 hours, nothing gets spent, not one damn dime, to remind our religious
leaders and our politicians of their moral responsibility to end the war in
Iraq and give America back to the people.
