There are two important pieces of advice that the Undergraduate Council and I would like to give you. The first is to view failure as an opportunity for learning. If you could learn even the tiniest bit from your colossal failures then the Valium black market in University Hall could be cut in half. Those guys really do try, but they are only human...
There was an envelope, but it contained only the tiniest slip of instructions: basically, download the latest version of iTunes (9.1 for those of you who must know these things) and follow the instructions from that point onward. A little hubristic, I thought, this pointed refusal to trumpet on arrival. But a half-hour after the unsurprising ritual ("Agree?"

...shuffled into the basement. Gunshots continued. I shielded my eyes to see a little girl, maybe 5 years old, bloodied in the face and moaning, being carried down the stairwell to an employee exit from the hotel. It was then I saw my hand covered in blood from the tiniest of cuts from flying glass. Guilt twinged in me. Would the Iraqi survivors see me, a foreigner, one of the presumed American targets, as somehow responsible...
