Mrrrph.

Finished w/my Mgmt. and Labor Relations take-home midterm except for one question:

Based upon your knowledge, readings or discussions in class, formulate a question specific to this course which you believe would be important for members of class to discuss. Do not answer your question but explain the reason or reasons it is important.

Questions like 'what do you believe are the major reasons for the decline in private sector union membership in the United States'? Easy. Questions like 'what do you think the course needs'? Hard.

bah.

Well, must come up with something. I have discovered over the past few years that I have somehow developed a powerful yet well-hidden desire to someday win a Nobel Prize for Economics, of all things. I suppose I have to start somewhere. 'tain't like I've got to come up with this question as the basis for a graduate thesis, after all.

Woke up this morning with throat feeling sore. Not a big surprise, my room's very dry at the best of times, so I assumed it was mere dryness and grabbed a glass of water. No such luck - hours later I still have raspiness in the upper back left region of the throat. Also, my head is starting to stuff up, my eyes are on the itchy side, and I keep sneezing. Either allergy season has begun - which I doubt, as I don't generally have allergies - or I've picked up a bit of a cold. Oh well.

Not succumbing to first year medical student disease*. I know it's not SARS because I haven't had any contact with anyone who's been to the Far East in the past few weeks. This is just ucky, is all.

*"AIEEE! I have a symptom! Maybe several! They are all symptoms of the horrible thing I just read about this week! AIEE AIEEE AIEEEE!" "Shutup and read the next chapter." "But-" "Dude, we spent this week reading about cobalt beer syndrome. You don't drink."

The Very Secret Diaries of the current President*.

*I have some difficulty using the President's name at the moment; I find myself with an overwhelming urge to use some derogatory variation or defamatory nickname, even in casual conversation. This is counter-productive no matter what side you're on, so I am going to restrict myself to his title for a while.
