Afghanistan, anyone?

So, my Development prof has made a "strong personal suggestion" that I study a country with more "colonial" experience in its history-- i.e., a country I would never, ever want to visit at any point in my life. Like Ethiopia. I've said it before, I'll say it again-- if it's south of San Francisco or north of Johannesburg, I don't care. I've never liked the sun, and I doubt I ever will.

Well, that's what I get for taking a class from a Maoist.

Eh. It'll probably make me look just as good to grad school, but I still resent being diverted from my interests.

Oh, and my computer is still dead. At least I'm getting lots of reading done. ::sigh::

I don't think it counts as overcoming my urge to procrastinate if I had no choice in the matter.

I guess I'll have to take my tropical getaways alone. Or perhaps you could just stay in the air conditioned hotel and oogle the gorgeous islander poolboys.

Well, as long as there's water. I don't think I'd get much swimming done in central Africa.
