live from funger hall!

i'm sitting in my u.s. political participation class right now listening to a debate on whether presidential campaigns matter with regards to the outcome of the election. the student at the podium right now is talking waaaay too fast. i wish someone ― namely the professor, but it could be someone else as well ― would tell him to slow down. i cannot fucking understand one word he is saying. won't his tongue fall off? he goes to the same church as me as well, and he did the same thing last sunday when advertising getting involved at the newman center. anyway, i wonder what he said. it was probably very intelligent. i guess that now, the world will never know.

other classes i am taking this semester:
✓ introduction to international politics
✓ advanced spanish grammar
✓ sociology of law
✓ contemporary science for non-science majors

i like them all, with the exception of the sociology class. i don't think the professor knows what he's doing, but that's the trade-off when you've got an adjunct.

work is good. lcv keeps me busy. i am getting excited for this election.

pablo and i still aren't friends yet. i don't think he likes me very much. at least our room is quite large. even though he has seemingly taken over the coffeetable, that's okay because i got the coat closet... and the kitchen (since pablo doesn't cook).

oh yeah, and i got hit my a car today. actually, it was more like he was "stopped" in the crosswalk while i was trying to cross h street, except he was inching forward, and then he tapped my leg. i'm not hurt or anything, but it just shows how stupid some people are. ugh.

back to the debate, i think i am siding with the team supposing that presidential campaigns don't matter. or maybe it's because they are more eloquent. :)

You should have smashed his car with your bookbag.
What a jerk.

blackboard? Yeah, it's the same system. I guess we're just being very cool by calling it ilearn. BYU-Idaho seems to think that, since we're Idaho and all, making everything start with 'I' makes it cooler. Like an ipod.
We have I-numbers instead of ID numbers. And I-Cards...and I-Night...and I-learn.
I hate it.
