5/10 class record

Today I could not concentrate well because my allergies were giving me a hard time - Sorry Yuji and Sayako who had to sit next to me and endure my blowing my nose every 5 minutes >< lol

When asked to find the assumption in the argument about how if the U.S. attack North Korea more than a million Koreans would die, I kept on missing the big picture and instead, focused on the secondary details. This goes to show just how easily I accept large assumptions and get swayed by emotions.

We talked about the readings that Rab assigned us. They were pretty hard but I found this one part to be so unbelieveable that it was funny. I'm talking about the newscaster Charlie Rose who actually ignored a guest speaker for the whole show when he failed to give him the response he had been anticipating. I can't believe things like that just happen and nobody talks about them afterwards. I wonder if these newscasters realize what they're doing? Is it in their intentions to say these things, like, do they actually hire people like this OR are they forced to report/act this way like the FOX news casters who had to give false information about milk?

    yea, the fact about the newscaster giving him a look and ignoring the quest for the entire show was hilarious. i mean... what kind of adult does those kind of childish behavior. plus, he's on tv. well, i hope your allergies will be better tomorrow.
