Earplugs! I should probably try those first, given that they're the lowest tech intervention. Last time I used them was when I had a writing conference roomie who froze if I used my usual hotel drown-out-noise technique of blasting the AC all night, but they worked and kept me sane and her thawed. I'll just have to have the alarm set loud enough to get through them.

Heh. In Israel, it's illegal to sell bread "in public" during Passover. The Supreme Court recently ruled that supermarkets and restaurants don't count as "public." A yeshiva student protesting the ruling went into a supermarket and stripped down to only a sock covering his genitals and the words "this is not public" painted on his chest. When he was arrested, he claimed the law was against public nudity, and the court had ruled that a supermarket wasn't public. [link]

Heh. But the question is, if it is private property, was it his private property to naked on or did he have the property owner's permission to get naked? I suspect the supermarket would remember giving permission to customers to get naked...

He might be legally required to say that. There are a hell of a lot of rules about disclosure wrt fin aid that seem kind of dumb.
you would be surprised by how many students say things like "I didn't know that I had to pay it back" really. I promise. These are the same kids that get the preapproved credit cards, max them out, and then don't know what happened.

hm, I think there's an extra letter there.

I proof-read that post about five times before clicking "Post message" to make sure I didn't make that typo anywhere.
