Sep. 17th, 2007 09:11 pmSigns are looking good for me to visit my friend in Milan after this course ends. Which would be nice, to have some lovely automatic company, and to see her again (really it's only been a few weeks, but it feels longer.)
Studying for the final for this course- the rest of the class seems rather blithe about it all. I'm wondering if I am in fact an American workaholic after all.
We had the "America has crazy gun laws" discussion in class today. Everyone else comes from countries where it's generally only legal for police to have them. I was embarrassed (which honestly makes no sense, in hindsight. I didn't make the laws, I don't have a gun, and its arguable that my classmates are the deluded victims of their countries overbearing regimes. But then, I think US gun laws are crazy, so I really can't take that line without being hypocritical. And stereotypical. But whatever.)
