Happy belated New Years! Hopefully I'll be a little more productive than 2007... but since that's my new year's resolution, it's highly unlikely that I'd keep that promise. Eh.
My parents trashed my idea of volunteering in Africa. Apparently they still believe that Africa is a dark, wild continent filled with lions and other zoological animals.
Well, no. That's not the case. But they do think that the entire continent consists of Sudan. So, they trashed it.
They also prohibited me from joining Médecins Sans Frontières. Their reasoning? "You're going to get killed".
Okay...
Whatever.
I also hunted down Kevin Kalisz to... STALK HIM! No, I'm just kidding. The fact is, throughout the three years in which I shared my high school life with that insane genius, I talked to him the grand total of... three times. That's averaging once per year. Sad, isn't it?
Then all of a sudden I get propelled into medical school and all of a sudden I'm left behind thinking "Crap, I don't know anyone around my age who's in med school!" Except, surprise surprise, Kevin. That genius, in my opinion, should have went to CalTech to major in engineering, but for some reason he gave up is high school dream to become a doctor (cue in about thirty bazillion question marks, on your mark, get set, go!).
So, Facebook it is.
I'm going back tomorrow. Then it's exam time. And then I have to finish the papers, since I left my Physics paper on my disc on my desk in my room and I basically screwed everything up (CRAP).
Ew.

you missed both the bio and chem exams. are you ok? sick? better make sure you reschedule your test before it's too late.
Mo, you're 18!!!!... Maybe I'm being a horrible friend for bringing this up. It's good to respect your parents wishes, but they can't really forbid you anymore...
I know plenty of people here from Africa and plenty of students who have spent time there. True, some places are dangerous, but definitely not everywhere. It looked like it would be a great opportunity and give you experience, but there will be plenty more things in the future.
