Ah, Brown.

Some people have put up "WANTED: Christopher Columbus for [doing lots of shitty things that i can't remember at the moment]" posters around my dorm, and I'm guessing, the campus.

Yay for liberal hippie schools (who still give us today off from classes anyway).

Dear cost function,

Man, you got today off at Brown? Now I want to know what's with the UofC's total disregard for holidays that aren't... umm... in the last three weeks of December. (And "Suicide Prevention Day.") It's probably the economists' fault, since they tend to be the opposite of hippie liberals.

Yes, I spent most of today happily procrastinating. Not quite sure why we have today off. Might be a Rhode Island thing, not sure.

But yeah, I'm studying to be an economist at a liberal hippie school. What does that make me? :p

[evilhippo]

It makes you less likely to lose your soul to the dark arts! (-; (It's probably less strange than studying to become... something, eventually... at a school where everyone's either an econ major, or came here with some plan to study it - which has been the case with nearly everyone I know here. Then again, I hang out with a lot of econ majors, so that would explain it, too. ^_^)

Or an Eastern thing. We got today off as well. As did Canada, so far as I know. :P

would just like to tell you that i am giggling like a mother at your note.
in an effort to better myself i am reading that liberal commie trash by howard zinn. or rather, columbus himself, but included in the liberal commie trash's book. boy. boy oh boy. why are we still celebrating.

[thedeadparrot]

Why do we have to prove these things when you can just ask nicely?

Anyway, yeah, that liberal commie trash would be required here, if Brown believed in requirements. We are just. that. hippie. Also, we burn effigies of Bush in the streets every weekend. You should come down and watch sometime. It's fun.

[lykaios]

oh, would i like to.

If you ever feel the urge to apply, do. You wouldn't want to miss the abortion parties, would you?
