Dr Don - a life of a small-town druggist

Wil:

The following article from The New Yorker is about a rural pharmacist who serves an area double the size of wider Auckland in Colorado, USA, and has a population of only around 700. He is the only pharmacist around.

He has amazing stories to tell which will teach us a bit about rural communities, the human soul and what it truly means to help others. I recommend this excellent read. It's a little long, but it's completely worth it.

Contradictory?

Wil:

Here at university (and at a certain School that I happen to attend) I have observed that staff (some more than others) become aggrevated by the sheer incompetence of some students and will dive into the discussion about how third years should be able to do this and that to a certain standard.

Yet students are allowed to pass the course with an average of just 50%.
What do you expect?


Just saying...

Self-titled



Next month Evanescence releases their self-titled album, Evanescence!

I'm so excited. Even though I've already downloaded the leak and made myself familiar with all the songs, I can't wait to get my hands on a physical copy!
