So here's the obligatory "how my semester is wrapping up" post, I hope you all enjoy it.

I guess we'll just go class by class...

Dr. Dreher told me I don't have to take the final in her African-American lit class. She also told me I'm getting an A for the semester.

I finished a really obnoxious PowerPoint that has been nagging at my brain the entire semester.

Despite the fact that I haven't been to my meteorology class in nearly 6 weeks, there's still a very, very good chance that I will get at least an A-.

(And speaking of grades, isn't the inclusion of "minuses" the most ridiculous shit ever? I remember when I was a freshman and there was no such thing as an A minus or a B minus. Stupid minuses turn a perfectly good 4.0's into a 3.85's, thus making me sick to my stomach)

Science of Food should wind up being an easy A as well.

The only thing holding me down here is my geography class, which is dependant upon a single paper. Barf.

Anyone feel like doing research on Baja California for me? Writing ten pages about the glacial features, soil composition, and littorial drift of the peninsula just isn't that appealing to me, especially considering that prior to starting this paper the only thing I knew about Baja California was that the city of Tijuana is located there.

I mean, I can write it, yeah. But I'd rather... just... not.

Oh, and my Japanese class falls into the same category as Science of Food.

School is easy.

And for the sake of including a bulleted list, let's talk about some things coming down the ol' pipe:

• Hisayo is coming to Nebraska soon.


• Megumi is also coming.


• I'm going to Chicago.


• The DN banquet is going down.


• Christmas, New Years, etc

The last thing on my mind today is a book I found sitting around at the DN and started reading called Pledged: The Secret Life of Sororities. Written by a journalist who essentially infiltrated a sorority to document it's unspeakables, she follows four girls who are basically "normal" but ends up running head-on into her worst stereotypes being realized.

I don't really like the book, and it's having this nasty side-effect of making me hate Greeks, which is weird, considering I have quite a few Greek friends.

I guess I just don't like the whole in-group out-group bullshit.

Or date rape and eating disorders.

But whatever.
