Joking or not, I'm officially sick of the stupid facebook statuses that reference today's storm as evidence that global warming is not happening. A rapidly increasing global temperature will throw Earth's weather patterns into more extreme swings - crazy cold icy/snowy winters and hotter droughts or storms in the summer. So in that case, today's ( Read more... )

BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY IS COMING TO SLU!!!!! He's going to give a presentation about global warming and sustainability, and I am going to be there! (or, at least try to!)

So I've been getting a lot of headaches. I think, every day for like the last week and a half at last. I can't read less, so I don't really know what to do about it. I'm trying to spend less time on the computer today after I wrote that paper on Augustine, so I'm blogging quickly ( Read more... )

We didnt' end up going to Casa Bonita tonight. Instead, Sammi and I went school supply shopping at wal-mart and got AWESOME folders and notebooks. I'm gonna start filling out my new planner RIGHT now. whee! Sammi, our special notebooks, you know the ones i mean, are pretty much the coolest things EVER. Also, I got new markers, so the quote board ( Read more... )

So work went fast today because we went to Go Paint! That exclamation point is part of the name of the place. I personally think it's a crappy place. It's like Clay Monet, but without the legitimizing pottery wheels in the back of the shop. I think it's overpriced and the crappy crayola glazes are a sham. BUT I nonetheless had a blast.
