It's Ash Wednesday; my hopes of finding some paczki died this morning. Perhaps
next year, then. 

<p>
Although I couldn't get any paczki, I did manage to score some 
<a href=" http://www.drgreene.com/21_984.html">KI pills</a> at school today. 
All these pills do is saturate my thyroid glands with a stable isotope of 
iodine, so my body discards any nuclear fallout provided iodine. But, if
I'm close (highly dependent on wind conditions) to TMI when it melts its core
again, I'll have <a
href="http://users.owt.com/smsrpm/Chernobyl/glbrad.html">other things</a> to
worry about.

(<small>although TMI to Chernobyl comparisons are difficult due to their
radically different construction, think of Chernobyl as a really bad worst case
scenario</small>)

I had my Financial Statement Analysis exam today. Some kids made it out of there
in an hour and a half. Not me, I had to take the full 2.75 hours, and even
then I was cutting it close, as I finished in the last 5 minutes. I was 
reviewing my answers as I was going along, but I still would have liked to 
have double-checked my answers. The good thing is that it's accounting which
has its own internal check system; and everything balanced.
