Apparantly when beavers get scared they chew off their balls.

Woke up to the phone ringing today. It was my mom calling. It was time to get up. It took me five rings to realize where I was. I was not at home. I got up and turned on Radiohead. I ate a piece of bread with ketchup on it and went to school. I fell asleep on the bus. Economics class seemed longer than usual and we learned about what affects long term and short term aggregate supply and demand. I can do predict what Canada's economy will do given any situation (not really). My political studies seminar was interesting, we talked a lot about the 18 year old Native American Winnipegger who was shot dead by a Metis cop two days ago. The whole case is racially charged and a lot of people are up in arms about it (Rodney King?). The young man was involved in a robbery, the cops chased him on foot, maced him three times, and then the man lunged at the police officer with a screwdriver. The police officer shot him in the chest, as is protocol. Skipped Sociology and attended the first panel of the Political Studies Student's Conference. The theme of this year's conference is Canada/US Relations. The first panel was on Identity and how Canadian's identify themselves which was interesting. Apparantly when beavers get scared they chew off their balls. One of the speakers argued that Canada's national animal should be the moose instead of the beaver. I think I may have a met a girl. I just watched first-person a video of a guy who went base jumping of a dam. He hit the side of the dam on the way down and his parachute fucked up. He slid all the way down the dam and broke most the bones in his body when he hit the rocks below. Most of the video his him crawling around in the rocks, bleeding all over the place and making noises that sound like an animal since his face is smashed to shit. I was eating soup when I watched this and it made me feel really sick. Also made me think twice about ever wanting to base jump. I have to make a resume so I can get an internship in Germany so I can go backpacking with my best friend. I haven't spoken German in four years. The unemployment rate is over twelve percent in Germany right now. They have over five million people without jobs. And another million and a half on worker assistance programs. How the worker assistance program works: when a German loses his/her job they get thrown into a database which finds them a job and offers it to the person. If the person doesn't take the job, he/she gets kicked out of the system. Prostitution is legal in Germany. A woman who lost her job got thrown into the database and was offered a job as a hooker and she was like no way, I'm not a whore, and now she's out of the database and has no job. The American ambassador to Mexico just got engaged to the heiress of the Corona fortune, who is worth some one-point-five billion dollars. That's a lot of pesos. Nice. Microsoft Word has a Resume Wizard. We're in business. I watched the first episode of Six Feet Under. Good show. It's going to be a long weekend of working. I'm tired of fucking up. And I'm tired.
