Got my grades. Two As to A-s. I couldn't work out the schedule to make it four days or to get into that sustainability research thing, but I signed up for a 1-unit seminar on green buildings: "composting toilets, sod and plant roofs, photovoltaics and other methods for energy uses and uses of 'grey' water in green building planning."
I'm going vegetarian. I'd been throwing around the abstract ideas for a while and had decided it was the right thing, more as a boycott of factory farms than because eating meat is inherently wrong. I realized that the main reason I wasn't doing it was because I've got so many vegetarian friends and I was scared that I might falter and then I would feel ashamed to be pussyfooting around where they can stand firm. But once the fear was identified, it didn't seem like a good reason not to give it a shot.
I've been working on this pamphlet to discourage people from enlisting. It talks about extended tours of duty, lack of equiptment, cutbacks to veterans benefits and stuff like that. I've made two different drafts, one has a bunch of newspaper clippings on all this and a few quotes on it from soldiers. The second draft has me summarizing all of this info on the front with footnoted sources, and then the inside is all quotes from people who were recently or currently in the armed forces talking about how shitty it is. I'm not sure which I want to use or if I need a third way. The first has little info for the space, the second is mostly an emotional appeal you could say and could be rationally overturned because there's probably always some complaining soldiers. When I've got it finally worked out I want to hand them out at the recruitment center down at Bayfair and around our campus recruiters.
