So for Ethics our big thing is a final project where we have to present one of the ethical cases from chapter 13 in light of each of the ethical viewpoints we learn... and I'm in a group covering abortion and personhood with two pro-life women with five children between them.

Lucky me, I already have my arguments honed from endless fighting with my mother on the topic. This is going to be... I'd say fun but that would probably be lying. It'll be something, that's for sure.

I almost jumped down Ian's throat in Western Civ when we were talking about the women's suffrage movement in England. He said that force-feeding women on hunger strikes was an acceptable thing to do when he'd just said that the women had to take responsibility for their own actions as fr as getting thrown into prison was concerned and I basically called him a hypocrite in front of everyone. That was kind of a rush. I get all flushed and loud when I get emphatic about things, and the fact that I'm badly sleep-deprived just made everything about ten times worse. He told me that he was actually scared of me for a second. I had to apologize.

He's fun to debate with though. We don't agree on ANYTHING, so it's a neverending source of banter which mostly stays friendly. I let my claws slip out a little sometimes, and then I feel vaguely guilty about it, which is stupid.

This week I get to write about Jeremy Bentham and utilitarianism, which is a huge step up from female genital mutilation as far as paper topics are concerned.

I asked Alyssa to write a recommendation for Wells for me and she agreed. That's one down, one to go... I'm not sure how to get in touch with Dr. Aikman. I should probably email him, if I can find the syllabus for last semester's class...

I have such a headache right now, but I know for absolutely certain that if I go to sleep now I'll be awake at 2 again and, uh, fuck that, no thank you. So I guess I'm just going to read Extras and maybe try to write a little until I can take my last Lunesta and pray that it works.
