Masculine Me

Yeeha, finished my presentation! This is my attempt at posing as a male Starbucks barista. I look creepy. However, the skit went off without a hitch and I am so happy to report that I got an A+ on both my last paper and on this presentation which was on Online Research Ethics. My friend and classmate Karen was kind enough to help me with the skit. It was rather brave of her as my rude male character asked her if she was menustrating as she was trying to order a tea to go. The skit pointed out how privacy issues differ between cultures and that in some communities in China it is acceptable to ask a woman if she's menustrating when ordering tea as it determines tea selection.
Last night we attended a pot luck at Mist's school for her social justice club. The dishes were amazing and multicultural and my carrot cake was well received. Mist and a few friends did a Harry Potter spoof skit for entertainment.
Today I attended class all day. Mist had a sleep over at Sarah's house last night and is finally home only to leave again very soon to babysit down the street. I am happy to be home, relaxing. I'd like to rent the movie "Orphan" because it is Canadian and got good reviews. However, Peter hates scary movies and doesn't want to watch it with me and I might just be too creeped out to watch it alone. I have a virus that has spread to my chest: night sweats and congestion. It could very well be a mild case of the swine flu as my vaccination was nearly ten days ago and I have some immunity but not full immunity yet. I will watch it and if I get a fever I will go on antibiotics as all viruses travel to my chest and give me bacterial bronchitis--my Achilles heel--inherited from my Irish grandfather--Edward Ambrose Hart-- who had to live in Arizona for half the year for his lungs.
