There’s a lot of people suck or blow; some suck and blow concurrently
Eh, I guess I got a lot accomplished today. For some odd and slightly
masochistic reason, I decided to take a lot of very writing intensive
courses that have not been fun thus far. I have a lot of writing to do
this weekend. I have a lot of other stuff to do this weekend.I had Ryan and Steve over for dinner last night. I made chicken
parmesan. I think it turned out alright. I had emailed my mom earlier
in the day to see what was up with her and I mentioned the dinner I was
making and she was like, “Gosh, I didn’t know you knew how to make
that. I’m impressed.” Thou art of little faith, Mom… I think dinner
was good. I like Italian food. It was a good ending to a bad day.Funny story, I was sitting in the union yesterday with my faculty
advisor collecting money for the Red Cross for the hurricane victims
for CRs. This woman, a faculty member, came up the table and said “I’m
going to give as much money as George Bush cared for those hurricane
victims” and dropped in a penny and walked away. I’m not absolving the
federal government for any wrong doing. Obviously, something went wrong
somewhere. That’s not the issue. The issue is that there are thousands
of people without homes that need help. Shouldn’t that be a uniting
issue where people come together to try to help those who were affected
by the storm rather than an opportunity to point fingers???We were trying to do something good for the victims and to have a
PROFESSOR come up and say something like that to a 19 year old student
and another faculty member just astounds me. I’m very much in favor of
being able to say what you want when you want to say it, however, one
should say such things with couth.I go out of my way to be considerate of other people and while I know
that yesterday was not a personal attack, it really sucks when people
have to stoop to that level. It just makes me really sad. Needless to
say, I think I might be writing a letter to the campus “newspaper” (if
you can even call it that). Other people suck!Tonight, I need to run a couple errands and go to a College
Liberatarians meeting to make an appearance since the president made an
appearance at my last meeting.
