The Second Debate

So we've been getting daily e-mails this week about campus security because the second debate is going to be held on the Wash U main campus. There was a lottery to get one of the few student seats at the debate, but I didn't enter b/c I don't have much luck with lotteries. Besides, some friends and I are thinking about going to Six Flags fright fest if it doesn't rain tomorrow night. I'm not really a big fan of the debates-- hearing both of them talk makes me mad that I have to vote for one of them (and convinces me that we need more than a two party system). However, some of my friends may have a brief TV presence-- one of them will be an usher (you had to write an essay for that position) at the debate and another of them is organizing a Global AIDS protest. I'm in the HIV/ AIDS interest group that is protesting, but I don't think I'd make a very good protester.

Turning the subject away from politics, I've come to the sad realization that I actually do need to learn about the heart, lungs, and kidneys now since I don't think there's any specialty that doesn't require knowledge of these organ systems. Since I got back from a camping trip last weekend, I've told myself a dozen times that I have to get more work done, but starting this weekend, I'm going to be serious . . . really :)
