Invasive Species Control: A How-To

Twas the night before a big test, the lil' ones had all gone asleep 

And alas she sat. 

The work was not finished, as it never quite was-

Her heart was beating, the real question on her mind was nothing of Nitrogen sequestration and its affects on Serpentine soils, 

Nothing of la emergencia de la ‘juventud indígena’ but of instead:

Saltiness.

The affects unto individuals that find themselves in a vulnerable state due to a lack of invasive species control and/or management. The strategy of attack:

1. Enemy release (most acute).
2. Novel weapons (release of chemicals that can act allelopathically unto other organisms [natives species] in niche that are/were present prior).
3. New adaptations (similar to #1, but is acquired with more time).

In the shift of puntos de vista, an invasive species can easily be classified as an exotic one. 

Can't they?

Stevenson Cafe, you behoove my studying;
I hate and love you for it.

OC

Oxycontin, more commonly know as Oxycotton or OC is a derivative of Oxycodone, a very strong pain-killer/ridiculously addictive drug a lot of college students use. 

Today in my Agroecology class, this boy (who I will call Paul) walks into class some thirty minutes late, mind you this is a seventy minute long class. He precedes to stumble, or walk really slowly to the front of the class (this is a one-hundred person lecture), and he then slowly bends to sit into his seat. He looks as if in pain while sitting, an entire minute (full) process. He then gets out his notebook, takes off his jacket and looks from side to side as he is shivering profusely. He asks his neighbor to borrow a pen in that whisper voice, which is not in fact a whisper. 

As the class progresses, he gets up a few more times to readjust, asks a few questions where he more states a fact about something that doesn't have a thing to do with what the Gliessman is lecturing about and gets shut down, as it is off topic one-hundred percent. He also decides to walk out of the lecture hall (he is sitting in the front row,) for five minute durations and then come back in.

Paul drops his pen a total of three times, and each time attempting to pick it up but fails, as he would have to get out of his seat. Each time Paul asks his neighbor, the poor girl that leant him the pen in the first place to get it, and she does. He also decides to stand up in the middle of the class to put back on his jacket, taking a break from molesting his cheeks, lips and jaw.

Paul, please stop using OC, everybody knows and you look like a fool. Go get help.

home from a long weekend with my special someone.
much enjoyed and needed.
now to catch up on school work, week one and I am already behind, yikes.

but on the bright side, I have a kick-ass teacher/fellow person
 at...8AM tomorrow morning.
did I mention the entire lecture is in Spanish, Antropologia de las Juventudes.

Gah, this is quite annoying. My enrollement period opened again-except ALL of the classes that I want and NEED are full! I have emailed all of the according Profes and I am on the wait-list, but quote, 'chances are slim'. Yay! Woot!
