PREDATORS

So yesterday I came across a great article: CLICK HERE 

For some reason, the media really likes to bash on video games.  I've already discussed violence and video games and hopefully successfully demonstrated that there is little correlation between the two.  But in addition, the media loves to criticize XBox Live or PlayStation Home for encouraging children to use profane language and accusing these online forums of providing a medium for predators to find helpless victims.

Marrying a Doctor?

*Disclaimer:  This post is a product of my overactive imagination.  Except for the stalking med students part.

Parents are SO WEIRD about dating.  They yelled at me for dating in high school, and throughout college they didn't want me to date because I was supposed to focus on school and get good grades.  However, now that I'm almost done with law school, the question is WHY DON'T I HAVE A BOYFRIEND?  WHERE WILL I MEET SOMEONE AFTER I GRADUATE?! I don't understand how my parents expect me to not date at all and then BOOM! have a boyfriend the next day.

Recently, my mom has been getting a little worried that I'm going to be an old maid and never find a suitable husband.  Of course, he has to be a doctor.  No, not a lawyer.  A doctor.

Week of Epic Fail

Most of you know that I am a vampire. I stay up all night and sleep in until the afternoon. This semester, I specifically arranged my classes so the earliest I would ever have to get up is 1:00. The weird thing is that I'm always sleepy when I wake up, even though I get around 9 hours of sleep a night. My friend says it's because of a lack of vitamin D from the sun - but vampires don't ever see sunlight and they are never sleepy, so it must be something else.

Anyway, so Monday night I'm all.. yes! I'm going to sleep so early tonight so I can wake up at 7 and be ready for my FIRST EXAM. I was all pumped to go to bed early. But since Boston is SO historic, my apartment is also historic - meaning no AC. So I opened my windows because I was frying to death, only to hear the undergrads outside partying and threatening to get into fights. I eventually tossed and turned and screamed at them to shut up until I fell asleep at 3:30 and woke up at 8:00. Not bad.
