I'm reading a hilarious book called Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs by a guy named Chuck Klosterman. I highly reccommend this to anyone who enjoys nonsensical rants about pop culture. I can really relate to this guy's views on things ranging from The Sims to relationships. Last week it came to my attention that I have free and unlimited access to the gym at Bradley. I don't know why this didn't hit me sooner. Monday I went into Haussler Hall and asked the girl at the front desk, "Where is the track?" to which she gave me a dirty look and said, "We don't have a track." Then she looked at another girl behind her and asked, "We don't have a track, do we?" The other girl then gave me an even more dirty look and said, "There used to be a track in the Field House like fifty years ago..." I felt really stupid, so I just walked around the building until I found the "Cardio Room", which is this tiny little space next to the gym. The room is so small that they installed a window looking into the gym so that people with claustrophobia won't freak out. Somehow the people at Bradley managed to fit like fifty machines into this one tiny room, so it's pretty close quarters. I really need to start stretching because I am sore as hell from only two days of running. Another perk of being a college student is that from 6-8 pm I have free access to the pool. I don't know why they chose 6-8 as the hours for open swimming. Everybody is busy at 6. Maybe college students get bored of playing frolf and hackey sack and feel like going for a swim in the late evening...
I'm excited as a schoolgirl! Excited about what, you ask? About this year's democratic ticket! Between John Kerry and John Edwards, this is easily the best-looking campaign ever. A lot of people are ripping on John Edwards for being too young, but for chrissake he's 50! Since when did AMERICA put down a person for aging well? In ID4 everybody thought Bill Pullman's character was too young to be President, but then he went and helped stop an alien invasion. I'm not saying that John Edwards is going to fight aliens, but if he had to, I'm almost positive he could do it very well. And it will be extremely interesting seeing the charismatic Edwards go up against that old sad crotch-stain Dick Cheney. However, I am still betting that Bush is going to win, because ours is the nation that invented Outback Jack. And anyone who invents a piece of shit like Outback Jack couldn't possibly know who is capable of running a country. The people who enjoy watching women try to find true love with an allegedly hott (two t's) Australian are the same people who don't realize that supporting Bush is like supporting the Saudi Kings and Princes who PAID for 9/11.
