Study Break Entry

I'm starting to feel like my life may never slow down enough for me to start posting again. So I'm just going to start posting again anyway. It's not like I don't take a computer break every thirty minutes while I'm in the library anyhow. Usually I just end up staring at Drudgereport headlines I've seen at least thirty times already.

I have a new enemy. She's a short, blond, pixie-ish Orange County girl who's getting an A-/B+ in organic chemistry (and is arrogant enough to make sure we all know that that's, like, a totally awful grade for her. She describes her performance as "sucky."). In her molecular biology lab (which I'm not in, but in which I have a spy) she said "I just want to, like, find the cure for AIDS and then not tell anyone what it is until they, like, give me a trillion dollars."

Because, you know, people who have AIDS are usually REALLY WEALTHY.

There's nothing to stop this girl from becoming a physician, I fear. It may be up to me to destroy her.
