There was a shooting at Virginia Tech yesterday. Over 30 killed. This is a very sad incident . I wonder what motivated the killer to do what he did. This time, you can't blame it on Islam or Arab culture.

Today, we had a diversity forum where a woman showed a film she made about teens discussing religion. The projector broke half way through, so ( Read more... )

interterm is next week. I'm doing a film noir-related class. My birthday is on thursday, but I don't really have anything planned. After that is Spring Break, in which I'm doing a college visit trip.

I got my Stats final back. It was AWFUL. And so is my class grade. In fact, it is the worst class grade I've ever gotten in my life (and that includes the first part of 5th grade, which I didn't do so well during). I'm really angry at stat class. Generally, in classes that I struggle in (think middle school honors algebra, high school Latin...), I ( Read more... )
