My Life = Papers, Essays, and Portfolios...

Recently (as in for the last week) I have only left my room for essentials, such as food and meetings with supervisors. However, according to my lovely supervisor, Amanda, doing this is not a great idea. She suggested this may have been the cause of the fever I have (off and on) been running.

Not leaving one's room and staring at a computer screen for days on end, apparently, is hazardous to one's health. Go figure. Mom does this everyday, and she never runs a fever. But I comfort myself with the knowledge that I am an amateur, while she shall always remain a pro and the winner of the "staring at the computer for days" contest.

Speaking of not leaving one's room, apparently there is this crazy business about the Swine Flu. WHO has raised the warning level to a 5, the second-highest level....

...and yet, more people die every year from the regular flu than have ever died of this one, and they've never raised the warning level to 5 before. Figures...

Here's all the advice that I want to give on the subject:

1. Don't leave your place of residence. (Preferably, don't stare at your computer all day, though.)

2. If you must leave occasionally, then WASH YOUR HANDS constantly...

3. And don't do this:

Thanks for the tip about tripe. Lord knows they have an abundance of the stuff here.

It's a dish of cow's stomach. It also comes in sheep, pig, goat, or deer varieties. Tasty, right?
