I'm extremely excited about getting an A on my Decision Modeling midterm…I wasn't sure that I would get higher than a B. We're now in the home stretch in my classes – a few more quizzes, one more case study, a few more chapters, a presentation, and then the final. (Not all in one class, mind you.) Then a week off before the next quarter starts. What a whirlwind!
The university budget problems are severely affecting many of the students. Not as many classes are available, and if you didn't register when your registration time started, you were likely waitlisted (I'm 2 & 4 on the waitlist for the two classes I've signed up for next quarter. I'm confident that I will get in…but one never knows.)

Pierced Ears
I read this article about little girls having pierced ears,
http://www.contracostatimes.com/search/ci_14410861?IADID=Search-www.contracostatimes.com-www.contracostatimes.com&nclick_check=1
and was disturbed by the absolute lack of awareness of the multiculturalism that is America. No mention of the little girls whose ears are pierced as infants because it is part of their cultural tradition. Some of us have never known life without pierced ears.
But then, the author is writing from her experiences, and the experiences of her primary reference. I can't fault her for writing about what she knows; it is, after all, a commentary. But it does irk me.
