So I've discovered that my college is falling apart. The thing is, I don't think this really matters. The College of Santa Fe is on the verge of declaring exigency, which allows them to fired tenured professors. Thing is, I have been pretty unhappy with the program for a while, and while the lack of solid staffing isn't going to help, it's really ( Read more... )

I'm sorry, I know I've posted this before, but it is a really good story. A lack of goats, man, that gets me every time ( Read more... )

I spent the Saturday dancing to a CD of an obscure Taiwanese boy-band pop, juggling in the park, and shooting water-guns at Claire, Benji, Emily, and strangers who got in my way.

I know a bit about public speaking (Persuasive Vs. Informative and such,) although that is pretty fuzzy too. Part of this is that I have to get up at early on Saturday morning to ( Read more... )

Yes, I think this rocks.Tutorial starts this week. Where did my summer go? Did YOU steal it? You jerk ( Read more... )

Yeah, what she said.I went over to Tutorial because some of the kids were going to meet me there for D&D, but nobody showed up, so I played piano for a couple of hours. I think that was the better way to spend my time. I talked to a contact in Japan yesterday. He says he has a place for me to stay for a while, when I go and visit. He won't actually ( Read more... )
