First amendment, anyone? (link courtesy of Lindsey)
Huge Car Bomb Kills Lebanon's Former Prime Minister, a Leading Voice in Opposition to the Current PM
To all potential members (of any gender) of the Bitter Single Chicks, I refer you to Paige's Guide to a Singleton's V-day.
Sleep was interupted not by my alarm (set for 7) but by a phone call (wrong number) at 6:30. Went to bed at 1:30 having stayed up late to finish the pchem problem set on which I'd procrastinated. Trying to decide whether to nap at 3 (when commitments are done 'til 7) or use this to re-adjust to a diurnal sleep schedule.
I don't think this semester's Meridian shift is going to be the study hour that it was last semester. While this way is more entertaining, I need to realize that things like problem sets will not get done 7-9:30 sunday nights...
Tonight I'll probably go to the student senate meeting about creating a diversity commission. Tomorow I'll most likely go to Richmond in the probably unrealistic hope that my presence will help prevent a Virginia marriage amendment.
Oh, right, I got appointed chemclub v-p of propoganda. Theoretically officers are elected, but ProfPoutsma decided that there were few enough juniors at the meeting that he'd just invoke dictatorial/advisor privilege and choose people for various positions...
Did you know that phylacteries and prophylactics are VERY different? And that there's no such word as prophylacteries? I hope that my Hebrew school kids don't know that, 'cause I definitely included "prophylacteries" as a definition for tefillin...
The chem department has mailboxes for upperclass majors. WM College Republicans put valentines in these mailboxes. I was concerned that this implied a conservative political leaning within the department. Then I read the cards - they're intended for professors. In other words, the CR's aren't familiar enough with the department to know that those mailboxes (all 50 of them!) are for students, not professors (who have their mailboxes a few yards away, inside the chem. office). I'm strangely reassured by their ignorance of my chosen department...
