  • Mood: wasted
  • Music: all of the things I need to do, floating in my head

Anth, 4 Feb 2002


Since someone asked: Assume that school, work, other peoples' drama, insane housemate issues, and sleep take up more time and energy than I can muster, and most of those things aren't interesting or aren't mine to write up. (And there was that spoofed news piece ..)


test returned, review:
essays: not specific enough, use details to back up thesis

these got switched somehow?

<th>Creationists and Evolutionists:</th> Food Production:
