There are the people who wank off on airplanes. There are the people who touch everything they can get their hands on. There are people who pick their noses while on the bus in the morning. There are people whose mothers never taught them what proper behavior is while in the public eye, and these [...]

Clear, so clear
In class today:
“Don’t forget, your papers are due on Tuesday the 26th.”
“What sort of criteria will you be using to grade our papers?”
“Very specific criteria.”
“Are you going to tell us what it is?”
“Yes.”
“Will you be telling us soon?”
“No.”

TMI
There are certain reasons to go to class. To ask questions of your professor, to engage in discourse with other students, to learn more about the topic at hand. Today, I went to Political Theory to learn more about Machiavelli. I did NOT go to class to hear about a brown recluse [...]

The waters, they are ripe for writing
I’ve heard rumors all through college about the worst thing that could happen on the first day of school. I don’t mean worst thing like falling down the stairs (it’s happened to me, you get through it) or getting lost (also happened to me). I mean worst thing like, finding out that your [...]

Memoirs of a (formerly) angsty teen girl
You could not pay me to go back to high school. I mean it. No amount of money in the world is worth the awkward, angsty, crying nights of those four years. I know that some people claim their high school years were “the best of their life!” but I was praying [...]

Oh those funny engineers!
The punchline to a joke that I don’t get:
“But it was an alloy!” (insert ridiculous laughing and snorting *here*)
Engineers have jokes about alloys, music kids have jokes about fermatas. I’m just waiting for a geeky joke about William Randolph Hearst to come my way.
Although I do know a really funny one about Final Cut [...]

Dear kid in class who talks too much,
As a public service to the rest of the class, I feel compelled to tell you what you probably already know: you talk waaay too much. I know, it’s a political science class, and everyone has their two cents to put in. But thus far, you’ve [...]

Save the pandas! (and Noam Chomsky)
“Human beings like to rescue cute, fuzzy little things – like baby pandas. They’re very charismatic, the pandas.”I quote directly from one of my professors. This is also the same man who refers to Noam Chomsky as “The Noamster.”
Make of it what you will.

The weather outside is frightful
Oh, who am I kidding, it’s not really that bad. I don’t usually like winter. In fact, I would go so far as to say I downright hate it, and could do without it snowing ever again. But, for some reason, I am enjoying this winter immensely. That’s not to say that I can’t wait [...]

La Vie Boheme
Tonight, my twin and I went to the Alley Cat to study. I’ve been there a couple of times before, but never for an extended period of time. We got a table with great black and white photos under the glass, which enabled me to procrastinate for quite awhile. I just love going there to [...]
