I envy those who are already done.


Hello.
I just had a lovely walk through the rain. It's April now, and I'm so glad for the warming temperatures and the rainfall. I'm kind of unusual because I absolutely love the rain! Spring is here, which is awesome after a freezing cold Montreal winter.
Man, there is so much on my plate and on my mind right now, I can barely function. My brain feels like pudding. It's crunch time. One of my buddy's is already done though. That lucky bastard. Exams exams exams.
I want to thank my friend Erin, who left a comment on one of my posts. She brought up a few things that I'm still hoping to address here soon. Right now I just want to write a short little post. Specifically, though, she mentioned the energy consumption of electronic devices, like this computer, our cellphones and all that stuff. This is very true. A huge amount of net energy is being consumed needlessly every day. Personally, I am of the opinion that everyone in the world should be using 100% renewable energy. Which is of course far from realistic, but I don't see why it should stay unrealistic.
Secondly, in response to my ranting about the World Bank and the IMF, she raised the huge question of "but what about Monsanto?" This is a subject I've been saving for later, but she is very right. I'll be talking pretty soon about food, and the myriad issues that currently plague us in that field right now.
I need to leave those for now, though, and rest myself. I'm leaving to visit home in a few days, and I CAN'T WAIT!!! Home equals the countryside north of Peterborough, Ontario.
