But they are awfully cute.

there are places where skunks are common pets, and are often 'de-stinked'

One is from Dubai and the other (I think) from Norway. It's certainly not their internationality that bothers me, it's that they grind it in at every chance they get, wasting massive amounts of time more-or-less insinuating how horrible it is here. As bad as it is, and as much as anyone might or might not complain, the US is still a pretty good place.

I'm assuming that they're here for the same reasons that US students go abroad for study; for that international experience. Companies look favorably upon those who go outside of their domestic zones for education and life experience, since it probably implies a greater understanding of the world and a willingness to go places and try new things for the company.

Tell them to shut up or go home.

And tell the guy from Dubai to speak out against their government and see what happens.

To be clear, they're not talking about our government. The class is Business Strategy & Policy. They argue about nonsense stuff, like how Coca-Cola is sold in glass bottles there, why so-and-so is soooo wrong in their proposed strategy for Dell, and that stuff is just higher quality... or whatever. It's mostly annoying and... old. (Though I could infer that their feelings about Coke and Dell might transfer easily to the government)

On another note - I really can't believe that in a couple of hours I'll be done with "regular classes." I took a final today, and am going to work on my take-home portion of the final over this weekend. I have a project and a paper to polish up, and four more finals to study for. Then, I am done. I am really, really done.

Or at least I'm done until I decide (or not) to go get my MBA.

Yep. They take out the stink gland. They are illegal in CA though. ::sigh:: Which isn't to say that people don't have them as pets- they do. Skunks, ferrets, whatever. I just haven't felt like dealing with it. If they were available for purchase and legal and I could take her to my vet, then yeah. But current situation... no.

My friend has a ferret. It's a pain when driving inter-state. They come in through AZ instead of NV because of the agriculture check-point.
