On a side note…any prayers or positive thoughts this week would be appreciated. I have had a very bad week with my usual back pain, and have had to miss several classes. Along with that, we have to dish out over 600 dollars on car repairs…and I just finished writing a monumental piece of drek for my European History class on the early Soviet Zhenotdel women’s collective and the failure of the Soviet State to honor promises regarding equal women’s rights.

Sigh.

I need to see my pain mngt doctor about this though. If it gets any worse, I may not be able to finish the semester. Thanks for letting me vent for a moment.
