my professor for Intro to Latin America is probably the best professor I’ve ever had and I read the bio on the back of the book he wrote that we had to buy for his class and he’s like
too smart/accomplished to be teaching at USF
like waaaay back he worked for a revolutionary government in Peru (?) and he oversees elections in Latin American countries and he does expert witness testimony on country conditions in immigration cases and he’s been a visiting professor at universities in Sao Paulo and he’s written over 15 books since the 90s and he’s written waaaay more articles and he chairs panels for a buttload of stuff
like just his personal stories about when he was in Latin America (in the 70s-80s, mostly, even though he still travels frequently) are really enlightening
this dude could be anywhere, he’s a premier scholar in Latin American Studies
but he’s been teaching at USF since 1975

look all life has inherent worth but I’m just saying that I’d rather save a mouse from dying than a men’s rights activist you know what I mean
if i was in a crashing plane with a wasp and a men’s rights activist and i only had one spare parachute, i would use it on the wasp even though the wasp has wings

remember that crazy couple on kitchen nightmares? Amy’s Baking Company? check out this dude’s theory that they’re actually hiding serious criminal activity
bullshit or not, it’s still a fun read, but it’s actually solidly written

it was POURING when I left work to go to class and I had to walk through a river of dirty sidewalk runoff and my body from my waist down was soaked when I finally made it
and I was fine for the first hour of class, until the air conditioning kicked on
and I literally sat and held in full-body shivers for the last 2.5 hours of class
like my jaw aches from clenching my teeth kind of shivers

after yesterday’s surprise rainstorms I am never leaving the house without an umbrella
it seems as though I had forgotten that I live in Florida, and it is the summer

wishesandwordsandetcetera replied to your photo: I don’t feel good today I don’t think anything…
you are so amazingly beautiful, I hope that your day gets better soon. Maybe take a really hot shower or make a cup of your favourite tea?
I really appreciate your kind words!!! I’m just thinking too much, once I start my classes today and see some of my friends I’ll be better, I just woke up in a funk, ya feel?
