Nadine Gordimer's "The Moment the Gun Went Off" is a must-read! go search online for it or steal it or whatever. this story ain't about violence & gore, so you trigger-happy junkies can go watch war movies instead. hahh.

was absolutely sick on monday. slept practically the whole day though i wanted & tried to study. pray fer me! i still have a bad sore throat, headaches that come and go, and a slightly severe lack of focus. =X
