I'm not sick I'm dead. Ok I can't complain since it's been about a year since I got ill, but man am I making up for lost time. Sick of OJ, echinacea, and legal drugs that make the room spin and my mind go LA LA LA LA! I've been so sick that rather than playing video games or watching TV I've actually JUST been in bed.

Reagan...I mean Bush has this weird plan to allow illegal immigrants to stay in the country legally for 3 years if they can show they have a job. Uh, with what incentive to do so? If they don't register, they can stay indefinitely. What am I missing here? I love this token tossed to the hispanic community just in time for the election. "See, I don't hate dirty brown people - I'll let you mow my lawn for a wage a citizen would not accept!"

I sat next to a girl that I pegged as a snob. I've talked to her a few times since I judged her, and she seems nice. I would love to keep being wrong with my negative assessments. She's still scared to look at her exam grade - I really tried to console her and told her that I was not exaggerating when I say I thought that I had only gotten maybe 1 in 4 or 5 right - same as chance. She still won't look.

I was going to be most embarrassed to tell Rik and Eva what my grade was, as they shared in my neuroticism with grades, but both did well. Who knows, maybe I bombed the classes I think I did well in. Our torts professor already sheepishly confessed that he got some of the best exam answers he's ever received from our class, but while we all did far better than he's used to it's still a curve.

I may be wrong, but isn't part of the point of not allowing in illegal immigrants into the country to keep jobs free for citizens and legal immigrants? Especially during a time when the economy is so bad? Not that illegal immigrants tend to work jobs that most americans are willing to work, but it still seems like Bush is missing the point.

The claim is that immigrants are working jobs citizens don't want, and I think there is some merit to that. Still, if cits didn't want the jobs, they'd pay more to get people to do them if it weren't for immigrants. Tough argument.

I think Bush is missing the point more by offerring too little too late myself.

You should have stuff with lots of garlic in it to get better faster. Garlic...the cure for the common cold. It also prevents a person getting hit with a bad bad cold...

It also makes people say stuff like "You reek of garlic, damn!" :p

Me too. It seems to be the year for it.
Hope you feel better soon!

Don't feel too bad. Michael has to beg to get into the classes that he wants to take. He already paid for them and everything, but no one has dropped out so that the first person on the waiting list can get in (That being him). At least you didn't have to beg to get into the classes that you might fail. (Even though everyone knows that you won't but you.0
