school is eating meslowly in bits. its too much. i either lack motivation or it really is too much. i am dying for ome time for mysef, btu not getting it. well this week i am. i have fall holidays. "holidays" that is...actually i ahve time to do my EE my german world lit, my tok essay, my english essay, my history ia and oh yes, study for my meidcine test. *hellooo*???
I have spent my day today at the chemistry lab of a local company trying to piece together my EE. its going GREAT. (thats sarcastic) after 4 hours extraction and 30 minutes destillation I am left with some scraps of green muck glued to the wall of a flask. after scratching it off and pasting it onthe little crystal of the IR spectrometer i see...nothing.
Especially after my last reporst card I am utterly pessimistic about school. Im not doing well, Im not doing as well as i should be doing. bye bye medicine that is for me then. or i can already send off my application to hungary where they will take me with 28 points and a heap of money.
ok the youtube song is over. i need to get somehting of the many undone things together. tok yiipiiiee....?

what does the american constitution mean by not "abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press" (Bill of rights, article 1)? what can you really say? and why will some things you say get you into trouble (think of the denmark comics about Islam a few years ago if you need a dramatic exampe)? while others wont?
Despite taking history, I am by no means a well enough reounded expert on this topic to be able to discuss it, but I am still allowed to question and give my opinion. If my questioning is inconveniant, please excuse it by the fact I know no better.
I made a comment today, well more of a satirical snigger about some current affairs. It was one of the comments where you say: yeah I can see where you are coming from, but of course that is so over the top, ill acknowledge and dismiss. you have your fun and forget it-usually. but instead I got a lecture: youd get real problems if you said that in the wrong place. But it was not meant seriously?! was my reaction. Of course it was outrageous, over the top and hugely insensitive, I was aware of that all along, but that was the point, to get the point across. so why is it often so missunderstood? and why is it so difficult to express ideas and then disclaim them; people always end up saying you said them.
People so easily get offended by a blunt truth not packaged correctly? In the healthcare system I can understand that, and have witnessed the difference wording can make myself. In society, and the way it works, and especially about other people I believe that it is much easier to acknowledge something worded more straightforewardly than about yourself. again I think you can acknowledge and get on with it.
I am being deliberately vague. and yes I believe I need to justify myself even though the lecturer probably will never read this. enough of a tok rant. back to work now.
