I am so politically incorrect today. I just came from my Communications discussion, and our (boring) GSI had us do a "fun" group project. We were instructed to take an underserved or unserved portion of the community, especially as far as television media goes, and create a channel for that group. Originally, literally every group in the class ( Read more... )

My God, are PoliSci exams ever going to stop sucking? As many of you know, I pretty much bombed my first midterm in American Politics last semester (I still blame it on the Bluebook Curse of the Diag "M"), but I at least learned from my mistakes for the final and wrote like a fiend for two hours straight to finish. Well, this morning I had my first ( Read more... )

I'm going to start boycotting Pepsi very soon. Why? Well, because it just isn't that good. I'm forced to drink this inferior product because a bunch of well-meaning activists on campus decided that they didn't like Coke's business practices in Columbia or something. I mean, don't get me wrong--I support their right to protest, especially since ( Read more... )

For the first time in as long as I can remember, I put my head down on my desk and full-out napped today during a class. It was my Kinship and Societies class, and we were watching this painfully boring ethnography called "Ongka's Big Moka." Interesting concept, really. In this culture in Papua, New Guinea, they have use an exchange system called ( Read more... )

Tonight I got into a co-ed Korean a cappella group called Seoul Juice.

I haven't decided yet if I want to tell the story or just let that stand as it is.

Sometimes people really confuse me ( Read more... )

The votes are counted, and The Sopranos are adding "Love Fool" (The Cardigans), "Come On Eileen" (Dexy's Midnight Runners), "Pinball Wizard" (The Who), and "Fire and Rain" (James Taylor) to their repertoire next semester. In addition, our back-up is Jack Johnson's "Flake," and we're retiring "Love Shack" and "Can't Hurry Love," I think? I forget if ( Read more... )

Other than the fact that I had to write a (really bad) rough draft and research paper proposal last night and this morning, this weekend was pretty sweet. So, get ready for a recap ( Read more... )

Okay, I promise I'll never be late for my Communications lecture again! On Tuesday, I volunteered to participate in what my professor calls a "news quiz." Basically, once a week, five people sit in front of the lecture hall and answer five questions about current events, and I got four out of the five right, making me the biggest nerd--I mean, the ( Read more... )

The Sopranos' winter auditions start tonight, and I'm somewhat excited. It'll feel good in a schadenfreude-sorta way to not be the one under scrutiny. Plus, there was talk of copying the Compulsive Lyres and drinking to make auditions more fun. I love those girls--they're so entertaining when they're drunk ( Read more... )
