Maybe it's just the current political situation making me more sensitive, but isn't Worf, basically the adopted son of the Klingon chancellor, becoming the Federation ambassador to Q'onos a major conflict of interest? What happens when Federation and Klingon interests conflict and Worf has to argue the Federation position?

I'm in the same boat. I never feel like I can find what I want to.

They do, actually. They are the only North American marsupial. This is the most interesting fact about opossums.

I wish I were brave enough to do it, but I get cat-called while running enough already, and I have big breasts and stomach.

At least a couple months, as I recall.

My grandma was very fond of opossums, and used to say she wanted to be reincarnated as one. Now that she's passed, I'm very careful to be nice to any opossum I meet, in case it's Grandma.

I think this fondness came from the baby opossum that came into her home packaged inside her new oven. Her cat (male, and the terror of the neighborhood rats), adopted it and let it eat from his food bowl and taught it to use the cat flap. My grandparents were completely oblivious until they came home one day and found cat and possum peacefully eating side by side. They then found someone to trap the possum and relocate it to somewhere more conducive to a possum lifestyle than the middle of DC.

I spent a year studying abroad in Florence, which is not a small town, so a little different experience, but I had a great time joining the university orchestra! I was an intensely shy and awkward 19-year-old, with some difficult things going on in my life (my Mom was diagnosed with breast cancer while I was abroad) and I had no close friends in the study abroad program, but I made some good ones in the orchestra, particularly another foreign student from Germany (we bonded over being the only people in this group of Italians who knew what a pretzel was). I think extracurricular university activities, in general, are good. A lot of people join them looking to meet people.
