Typing [almost] solely with one's non-dominant hand is rather tricky it seems

Well... I'm typing this all with my left hand and my right hand index finger only. I got a biopsy the day before yesterday on my right hand middle finger and I'm not supposed to bend it or the stitches will fly off and it'll spurt blood (okay I made up that last part, but it makes sense right?). I had to shave yesterday using just my left hand (which just so happens to be my non-dominant hand) and it was absurdly difficult.

In speech class last week we watched The Color Purple, which was absolutely fascinating. My classmates were rather squicked at the kiss between Shug Avery(sp?) and Celie, which was rather obnoxious but it's to be expected of southern conservative Catholic girls I suppose. I should mention, though, that my poor expectations of what speech class would be like did not manifest themselves. I like the teacher a lot and the class is at times quite interesting, though as expected there is also some of that "all media is propaganda" going on. On Friday, we had a raffle holiday (in which we had to have sold 130 tickets to have off) but the raffle idea is absolutely absurd to me. It's such a scam. Everyone thinks they're expected to sell the tickets to neighbors and random people but honestly now--who would buy raffle tickets from some random little girl? Where I live: no one. The faculty knows this, and therefore secretly expects us to sell all our tickets to our parents. But the thing is--if we're going to be hitting up our relatives anyway, why not just include the $130 in our tuition fee? It's such a hassle.

And I've been absolutely exhausted this whole week. I think I'm going to take a looooong nap today if I can get away with it.
