Hey y'all. It's been a while. I am posting because I got bad news today and haven't really had the opportunity to vent. The SFC (people in charge of allocation of the student fee money) cut the debate team substantially (over 85% of our operating budget). We can try and get the senate to reject the decision (which is the next step in the process) ( Read more... )

I like to cook but I don't really do it anymore except on special occasions. I want to be a better cook and eat more complete meals (rice as a meal probably doesn't cut it). And so... I shall set a goal for myself. I will cook something at least 3 times a week. I also have a specific something that I would like to make by hand but it sounds ( Read more... )

Love is one of those things, like god, that I just don't think about. In my world view, I don't need the existence of either and I don't want to waste ( Read more... )

I have been thinking a lot about where I want to end up in life. I thought I had it all pretty much figured out and while a lot of my goals are still the same, I have been thinking of the process of getting to where I want to be and that has changed quite a bit ( Read more... )

I need a small break from my paper writing adventure. I feel like I am too heavily relying on facts rather than actually analyzing the data and I have no idea how I am going to finish with only 1 page (double-spaced) remaining. The assignment is to to take 3 UN Millennium Goals and explain why the goals have/ have not been achieved in Latin America ( Read more... )
