Day 8

Went to bed last night around 10PM so I woke up naturally around 8AM which was crazzyyyyyyy. I dont know what time I will be going to bed tonight but hopefully I will be able to maintain a semi-normal sleeping schedule this weekend. The bank closes tomorrow around 12PM and hopefully I will wake up before 11AM at least...

ANTH1020: AIDS in Global Perspective
So today in class I went up to the prof to talk to her about our upcoming assignment. Since I woke up early today I went to breakfast and ran into my friend Kevin so my morning voice was gone by the time I went to class. Instead of doing a book review on the assigned Sizwe's Test, which I have already read for another class, the teacher recommended that I do a book called 'When Bodies Remember'. I was able to find a copy of it online through the elibrary so I dont even need to go out and buy it ^_^. We watched a movie today in class called 'A Closer Walk'. It was a pretty damn depressing way to start off your day. It basically showed picture after picture of the devastating state of the world and how AIDS has used that to cause mass infections and death.

ANTH1322: Human Rights, Social Justice, and Humanitarian Intervention: The Anthropology of Global Aid
Because this class got so large, we had to move classrooms to give everyone a seat. I am glad that I didnt have Plants, Food and People, which would never occur under regular circumstances, but now I know that I have to sit in the very last row closest to door so that I wont be incredibly late (because I still will be late no matter what) to PFP. Today we talked about the media's role in the portrayal of disasters (natural and man-made) and its influence on how we see them and humanitarian aid as well. We also talked about Haiti and its current media coverage. The prof over enunciates the word Haiti to where it is like "Hay-tttee" which is kind of weird. She can also sound like a valley girl. So far it hasnt gotten that annoying.

Things to do this weekend:
-go to the bank
-go to the mail room
-research soybeans
-read for classes
-memorize all 20 amino acids
