Baby Shower

Today's FC's baby shower. I'm still at home and my family already took off. I decided to hang back a little while longer since I'm start to puke all over the place again. I don't know if I should still show up. One of the reason's why I really want to go is that I want to see my auntie whom I haven't seen in about two years (even though she lives about only 30 minutes away from my school.) She isn't going to be here until later this afternoon but I just wanted to show up and leave so I don't infect them. I don't think it's the right party to be sneezing and vomiting on everyone - babies and pregnant women. I'm waiting for Xab to drop by so he can take me up there. I wonder if he's nervous since he's about to atten d one of the mother of all family gatherings. I always say that but this time he's actually going to show up.

Bug

So I'm sick. I thought it was a 24 hour bug considering I was violently ill monday night. I thought that's how illnesses work. You're either violently ill one night or moderately but annoyingly sick for three weeks. But I guess I'm violently ill two random days out of the week and who knows when this is going to clear up. I'd rather be violently ill for one night though, just to get it over with. But my roommate said, "But, what if you're so ill that you die." I guess she doesn't want to wake up next to a dead roommate. Darn cough medicine. Starting to kick in.

So I like political science, I just don't like political science students in general. I don't know why. Maybe it's just knowing that they're the future lawyers and I can't stand them already. But I'm overgeneralizing. I have met a couple poli sci students that I do like. The rest just annoy me. Actually everyone has been annoying me lately. Don't you just get sick of how everything is accepted? How people are ignorant. The guy that lives in my apartment has an American flag hanging over his bed.

"Why do you do that?" I asked. He stared at me absuredly, like the answer was so obvious. (He fell for media hype.) "Are you proud of your country?" I inquired further.

"Yes, for the most part." What about the little part that got left out of most? Just forget about it?

"Why?" I asked, trying to hide my disgust.

"Because, this country is a lot better compared to others."

"You're proud that they enslaved the world to become a powerful country." I said. He ignored me of course. Maybe that's what's part of ignorance. You don't just not know. You ignore.

"Given the situation, I think they're doing pretty good." What situation? "There's so many people here and everyone is different, I think they did a good job." I didn't want to jump to conclusions. Thinking that he blaming -Americans rather than 'Americans' are what made an obstacle in this country. So it's the world's fault. Sometimes I think it's ironic, how people flee and seek refuge in the heart of what may be causing the problems.
