Many people complain that the arts are cut from schools due to lack of funding and often point out that the sports programs are still in tact.

Well, sports are not more expendable than the arts, let's just get that straight.  That being said, let's get into all of the fund raising I had to do as a cheerleader.

Every home game I had to sell programs ( Read more... )

Asside from asking what butane is, I thought this might be somewhat comical for you.

In the lecture just before lab, Professor Moses tells us not to clean out our test tubes with acetone as per usual because acetone will show up on the NMR machine thingie and mess up our results.  I think to myself that I'll just give it time to dry.  When I get ( Read more... )

I'm generally of the opinion that people are stupid and I hate them.  Today, I would like to expand this to include the fact that people are assholes.

Today, in Biology 152, one of our TA's gave the lecture as the professor, the asshole I'm-gonna-tear-down-your-faith professor, was observing Rosh Hashanah.  I don't think he should be allowed to, ( Read more... )

So, as many of you know, I have wanted to go to the Vans Warped Tour since I was twelve.   It was a last minute decision to go, since I was supposed to go to the beach with Richard the day the Warped Tour is there, so we buy tickets and go.  It was awesome.  I'm basically still winding down from it.

Evergreen Terrace, one of the two bands I was ( Read more... )

Libertarian.  But it says Democrat, I know.  I can't decide.  I think it's because my views are basically split right down the middle.  I know fo' sho' it's not liberal though.  I really want to label myself.  Fiscal conservative.

I had a dream last night.  Want me to tell you about it?  Okay.

I'm on a church trip and we keep going in a rotation ( Read more... )

I hardly ever talk about my testimony and other church-related things outside of church.  I often wonder why I don't, and it's definitely not shame.  I think it's the same reason that France put the chair I was to receive a blessing in away from the window.

"People will look in and they might not understand."

When you're sharing your testimony, it's ( Read more... )

My friend, whom I am not to name lest his girlfriend find out, is contemplating asking her to marry him.  How awesome.  (This touches on the theme of why, I don't know, but people trust me with huge secrets.)  Anyways, down to the philosophical part, he wasn't sure yet.  He was just thinking about it.   He's a really awesome guy.  His girlfriend is ( Read more... )

I remember the first psychologist I ever saw asked me if I felt loved, by my parents specifically.  I said no, which suprised my parents.  How dare they be surprised?  They're not affectionate.  Well, there was a list on the board, I think he wrote it.  The list was of five ways people show love to each other.  I was reminded of this as I was ( Read more... )

I have recently decided that I am no longer going to put up with people's shit.  I am no longer going to be polite to idiots, wait for divas, or put up with any other form of disrespect ( Read more... )

Yesterday, I swiped my card, and neither of the guards paid any attention.  I was like, wow, I could totally be a serial killer.

Today, I swiped my card, and yet again they were not paying attention.  I started walking towards mail boxes.  One of the guards called me back to come swipe my card again.  I told her I already did.  She said she needed ( Read more... )
