I LOVE YOU
I woke up around 8:30 am to Brian's mom hacking up a lung. (On Monday nights, when my mom usurps my room, I bike to Brian's awesome house to sleep there. He has such a nice home. His parents are typical american consumers- they love kick-knacks and gadgets and don't recycle. They have a television in nearly every room of their home and most of them have HD and digital cable access. There is an enormous sun room with giant, fluffy couches and a pool table and a bar. The whole house is filled, but not in a dirty or cluttered way, with little knick-knacks and decorations and fancy gadgets like hot dog cookers and such. it's a small development home but its packed with that home-sweet-home feeling.) Then I biked back home (into the wind, too) and slept until 12:30. Josh called me and we went to the mecca of hang-over food: Bagel Bakery! I got a veggie melt on a sun-dried tomato bagel and a coffee. (Boy, I LOVE Bagel Bakery. I go there so often that the preparers there usually know what I want to order: spinach and artichoke cream cheese on a sundried tomato bagel with a regular coffee on ice. YUM! All together I can get a hearty vegetarian meal for less than $5!) Then Josh drove me to his home near the park and we toked in his empty closet. We talked for a while, moved in and out of various rooms, sat on the stoop...then he chouffered me home and I biked to the library to work on my Spanish 312 presentation with Beth. We had a good time joking about our drug habits in congruence with our presentation. (I made such a fool of myself making a speech in Spanish about legalization of marijuana. I spoke so specifically that it was undeniable that I am a regular hobbyist of marijuana. I made that all too clear for my scrupulous classmates. )I am presenting on the illegal drug trafficking chain- Producers, traffickers, sellers, consumers- and how the chain is self-reliant and continuous.
Chris emailed me: here is the correspondence, it speaks for itself:

Profeta... I want you to know, because it's not been evident, that I wish to remove myself from ESA entirely. I have too much going on right now to commit to it. Sorry
Chris,
I understand but at the same time I am very disappointed. I can't say what is going on in your life right now but I am also under a significant amount of pressure and staying committed to ESA has been a day-to-day challenge. I think that it is a little irresponsible of you to place so much responsibility on me. I find it unfair. I have taken ESA under my wing because I have been forced to, I love this club and I vowed to keep it from sinking like it did last semester.Sometimes I wish I could abandon it all together as well...especially when I have spread myself thin with academics and other extra-curriculars. But I made a commitment and I am sorry that you are unable to keep up. I cannot possibly continue to run ESA by myself, especially when others seem uninterested. I ask you to be an active participant AT LEAST during our Global Warming Graveyard and to come to our December 1st day for preparations.
Also, I really need you to help me out with the MSCC campaign during winter break. I will be leaving to study in Ecuador Dec. 26 thru Jan 24th and I need someone to be my substitute representative for the conference calls and allying with the MSCC while I am gone.I cannot make calls from Ecuador, it would be way too expensive and the time difference would also be a hinderance. I think you are the best candidate because you have worked with them since the begining. This is all I need from you now.
I think it would be in your best interest to not abandon ESA just yet.

As you can imagine, I am furious with Chris's selfish decision. I don't know who he thinks he is! Then to make things worse, only two people showed up for the ESA meeting- greatly hampering my progress with the Dec. 5th project. I'm very doubtful. This is so disappointing. What is wrong with people?I
I earned a 90% on that Spanish exam that I was fearing so much. A 90% on my mid-term!
