Social Pressure

What is up with the social pressure on getting the H1N1 vaccine? People are honestly over their minds about this whole ordeal, I really think individuals are entitled to what should and shoul not be entering their bloodsteams. I never thought the day would come that I would need to get this stupid shot because as far as anyone I've spoken to about this, I am quite the anti. But I am apparently getting the vaccine tomorrow at 7pm (I honestly hope something drastic happens clini so we can't get the vaccine.) and the ONLY reason why I am even doing this is because of our travel plans in may because apparently when you enter another country they will check whether you have gotten the vaccine or not and if not, you will be charged $60US to recieve one.

So it's a die-die situation. If this is even true. I was just discussing this earlier on with my sister about how everyone is rushing to get this vaccine when the side effects aren't for sure determined, and when it honestly feels like they're only using us as lab rats. When did they become so smart to invent a prevention vaccine in half a years time?

Ugh. If I should die from this I blame society.

I recieved a ridiculous e-mail from my dean titled "Can you afford to be sick for the exams?" To that I say, I positively CAN NOT afford to be sick FROM the shot during the next 3 weeks. I skimmed the e-mail and thought HOW RIDICULOUS that he has to resort to threats "It's out there wating for you." Thanks bud, but A HELL OF A LOT OF THINGS are out there waiting for us.

I'm only doing this for Korea and Hk.

Anyway, I apologize for the angry blog content. I should really start writing my essay which is due tomorrow (well I'm telling myself that) so I can start my assignment 4 for the triangle lady, prepare for my final grou presentation for triangle lady on Monday, start my term paper (30%) which is due monday, another exam on the last day of school. And then 3 days grace to sudy for two finals which happily land on the same, jolly Friday.

mmmm school. Doncha love it.
