I blamed it on the hormones.

For those of you who don't know, I am serious about the plight of the Darfurian people. Today when I was in lab, I broke down while talking about Darfur. Years ago I started having nightmares about the horrors being carried out in Darfur. I guess it finally took its toll on me. I am ashamed at myself for crying in front of my instructor, but I am more ashamed at my response. I immediately blamed the flow of tears on my cycle. How weak of me. How could I have done that? I feel like Judas. I should have just said," I am sorry for my lack of control. I feel very strongly on this issue." Something to that effect would not have been bad. My excuse was just that-an excuse. And that is my point! We are a nation of excuses on the issue of Darfur!
