please please PLEASE take the time to watch it (3 minutes!) and re-blog, tweet, facebook, email it to as many people you know. for reals.

and i promise a more academically related post in the near future. this "final semester" is really taking its toll on me.

Let's Help JAPAN!!!!!!

JPRI Japan Relief Fund w/ Give2Asia

JPRI (Japan Policy Research Institute) in collaboration with Give2Asia (a highly respected organization that works DIRECTLY with locally-based NGOs) has created a fund which will go directly to locally-based aid efforts on the ground in Japan.

Unlike many other aid organizations, one of the awesome criteria of Give2Asia is that relief supplies must be bought in the LOCAL COMMUNITY. that's right--->supporting retailers, groceries, doctors, hospitals, etc. who are in the effected disaster zone. by utilizing this approach, not only are immediate needs being met, but the local economy is strengthen, providing for the future.

the tudors = more interesting than school

no surprise there.

however, that being said, it becomes a problem when i'd rather sit in front of a screen and watch over-the-top shows in my PJs than even think about school. seriously, if i wasn't this close to being done, i'd drop out.

in other NON-school related news, on my bus ride out to campus today, the dude sitting behind me was totally cutting a fairly large bag of (i presume) cocaine with baking soda. either that, or he was transferring it INTO the baking soda box to be less conspicuous...on a bus...in public. oh the joys of public transportation.

ADDENDUM:

i am typing this from class. while the discussion is going semi-well, what it boils down to is this man likes to hear himself talk WAAAAAAY too much. it eats up class time because he has to interject so often to listen to himself
