...three finals were scheduled back to back, and the list goes on. (Note: all of the above happened to me.) Shit happens to everyone here. I always take comfort in knowing that, no matter how messed up things seem, someone probably has it worse. Despite all things I could complain about during my time at college, the good far outweighs the bad. Ultimately, if I had known these things earlier, would I have been happier? Maybe.

The diversion of the river has reduced the once powerful falls to little more than a trickle. Local tourist operators complain that their livelihoods have been destroyed. "Now there is nothing," says Gedefe Fetene, 40, a local farmer. "The beauty is gone." So it may be.

The country's first oil refinery has been delayed for seven years and two foreign...
...routine check up, "I can't find anything wrong" is a great thing to hear the doctor say. It's not so great when something really hurts. Orthopedic medicine is largely about treating pain; arthritis, pinched nerves, torn tissues and broken bones are our business. Patients who complain of pain but have no hard evidence of anything wrong when we examine them can make this business very tricky, and unfortunately, there are plenty of people like this...
