The other day in biology we watched a documentary on Africa. I was actually very surprised by it. Apparently cows are taking over and ruining agricultural land, and they're causing problems for native species. Hunger and famine problems have more to do with overpopulation and poor use of land and resources than with drought and the conditions people have lived through for so long. Foreign aid goes to things like giving people a certain amount of food rather than educating them about birth control and more productive use of land. I don't know... something about that video really got me thinking.
As for my friends... I absolutely love them. Tuesday was Molly's 21st birthday, and she was hilarious. Beth and I were supposed to pick everyone up from the bars, and she volunteered to drive because she likes driving and hasn't driven much lately. I'm not the biggest fan of driving, for the most part at least, so I didn't argue it. Long story short, we got pulled over. I know it was a little embarassing for Beth, but she got off with a warning, so now it's just a funny little story. (It's hard to remember that the speed limit changes from 45 to 30 on the bridge after the river road.)
I've also realized lately just how well my friends know me. They know how to put up with my mini-rants, and they know not to argue back when I'm annoyed with them for little things. They know I'll let it be and will be laughing again within a few minutes.
Work today wasn't bad. I really like work when we don't have a ton of phone calls and get to chat. I like my co-workers, and there's always an interesting conversation at some point. Taking calls isn't bad either, as long as I can hear the coach... and as long as it's not WSHS girls' hockey... someone from the team generally calls those in, and they never seem to have all the information.
My boss has been telling me I should change my major. It's hard to look forward to your future when your editor is telling you to get out of journalism and do business or something. I think it's a little late for that, what with graduation being just over a year away. I'll just have to seriously try to figure out grad school possibilities.
On a brighter, random note, I had no classes today! That was really nice. I also get to coach high school speech this year, which is a lot of fun so far.
I think I should get some sleep... I'm working out with Lily at 11 tomorrow...
