oh, it's fine.
i did want to learn more about RCT trials etc etc. and, well, that's what we're doing. i always was going to be cranky about it for political reasons etc.
it is a weird blend of statistics and critical reasoning. i think some more formal critical reasoning / logic would really compliment things quite well... critical reasoning is a pain in the *ss because it sort of describes arguments people actually make... and mostly people are ambiguous etc etc. logic is more prescriptive. it gives you something to aim for. it teaches you to (be able to be) much clearer in your reasoning. then to develop more complex structures in your essays... argument chains... sort of like... how you can string together equations in order to get to wherever it is that you want to go...
anyway...
biosci really is so very much fun. and i am enjoying chemistry, too. i am glad my other papers are lighter because those two really take up quite a lot.
i think i will stick to law next semester, though. i think... i will enjoy it, yeah. and it will be helpful for me to learn some of the more nitty gritty things about law.
i'm trying to get the bus service out to the satellite campus fixed. they are overcrowding us... they seem to think that not only should all the seats be full but all the standing space should be full of standing people, too. the buses have seemed full to me, but they reckon they could have fit another 7-10 people on them...
anyway... it is about complaining loudly, isn't it. because... people simply will try it on until you make them stop. get in there! screw them over! they don't mind! they don't even notice!
sigh.
ugh.
the segregated staff service (mini-van) is an indicator...
i bet all the politicians have private health insurance (that they pay for with their salary that the taxpayers pay for). while they take free flights around the country and limousines...
how is it that they have persuaded people not to mind about this / that? that people see them on the news and...
i guess because there isn't really anything that can be done. i mean... it isn't like the other guy would be doing anything any differently / better.
no matter who you vote in, that guy gets to live in the white house - yeah?
the illusion...
just keep them focused on hollywood and so on... sort of thinking... that it is their own fault...
i don't quite know what to say...
but most people are gross. yeah. salt and pepper... it isn't like most of them would do anything any differently / better...
sometimes i really do think that i am a different species.
