taking time off

Yesterday, I saw Thailand v. Newcastle.

The more I watched the AIDS conference, the more I'm drawn into the medical aspect of the disease. I've heard some great and enlightening speeches so far.

I heard that BKK schools are closed because BKK can't stand to have extra traffic on its roads. Hooray for school children. When I heard this, I thought it was because the Thai government wanted the school children to be able to attend the event, but then I heard about the traffic thing, and then I realized that you need to pay your way into the conference. So much for the conference's theme of "ACCESS FOR ALL."

I am now officially taking a semester off school. I have mixed feelings about this. I don't know if my decision will yield a definite answer. I don't know if my answer will be clearer just because I have time to think about it more.
