Bulgarian Ambassador is Visiting

The Bulgarian ambassador is coming to campus.  Apparently Bulgaria is a country in Europe, right above Greece and below Romania, which puts it in a pretty lame location.

I am not sure if the guy is Bulgarian and is the ambassador to the US, or if he is from the US and is an ambassador to Bulgaria.  I hope it is the first one because I would like to know what a Bulgarian person looks like.

He will be talking about democracy in Bulgaria on Wednesday at 4:30 in Cole Cinema.

Fuck Salisbury

So I really wanted to see the lacrosse game last Friday, but my ride home ended up leaving early so I missed it.  But I did go to the BBQ beforehand which was delicious.

Anyway, the photo is on the from page of www.smcm.edu which I think is hilariously awesome.  

So good job laxbros wooo

Windsurfing Club Interest Meeting

Last semester SGA approved the funding of a bunch of money for Windsurfing Club to buy a bunch of new boards and stuff.  Tonight the club is having an info meeting at 8PM over at the River Center.

I think I might stop by because windsurfing sounds cool and exciting.

Course Evals

Course Evals start Friday, April 10th, for all of your Spring 2009 classes.  Please provide feedback because it's essential for teachers who are trying to achieve tenure.  It's also important to provide feedback about bad teachers (which I've never really had, but I'm sure some people have).  

You should get an email soon with links to the surveys.  So do it!

SGA Meeting 4/7

I haven't talked about the last few meetings because they have been boring/I wans't there.

There is a lot of legislation for tonight.

8:02 - I got here

8:07 - Kalada criticized me for playing pokemon during the meeting.  

8:08 - Meeting has started.

8:10 - Student speak-out - no one :[

8:11 - Resolution to have SGA look into funding campus internships.  Pretty interesting.  I think it would be a great use of SGA funds.  It passed!

8:12 - The projector has broken.  This is boring.  Back to playing pokemon.

8:14 - It's fixed.  

8:15 - HOLY SHIT SENATOR CLEMENTS ISN'T HERE.  HE ALWAYS BRINGS COOKIES AND IS NEVER ABSENT.  I AM SAD.  You see he always brings us cookies that he makes in his very nice kitchen (which I assume probably has an Island and really nice cooking stuff).

8:16 - Spoken Word Club - Sounds cool I dunno.  I like the aspect of developing the ability to talk well/voice projection because I feel like I am not good at being loud and it makes me sad :[.  

8:19 - Sister to Sister amendment.  They want to change some random stuff.  Hahahah holy shit, apparently the club was previously open to only "women of color".  I am really glad they changed that to everyone.

8:21 - Bill to fund a lockable cover to put over the WC firepit.  I don't like this.  

8:24 - Media Board Budget.  Boring.  It passed.

8:33 - Resolution to have the SGA support bringing back the SARP coordinator.  This is a good thing I hope that something real comes of this.  

8:39 - Bill to provide a stipend for two kids to finish the Dover Yearbook.  I think yearbooks are kinda dumb and I don't really see the point, but I guess this is cool.  lols Nathan Bossie voted against it.

8:55 - Discussion about MAT students being able to partake in SGA and student activities etc., which I think is a really good idea.  

9:07 - OMG Brooks Whiteford is going to be on campus on the 16th.  I am happy.

9:15 - blah blah blah

9:22 - We just sang Nathan Bossie Happy Birthday.

9:24 - Meeting adjourned

Japanese Film Series

The Japanese Film Series begins this week with Akira Kurosawa's "The Hidden Fortress".  Kurosawa is an amazing director, and has had a huge influence on many Western filmmakers.  His 1954 film "Seven Samurai" is easily one of my favorite films of all time because it contains love, drama, action, and samurais.

So I would definitely recommend checking out "The Hidden Fortress" this Wednesday, April 8th, over at Cole Cinema.  Dr. Musgrove will be discussing the film afterwards, which is cool because he is super awkward and cute.

Bob Marley

I am sitting in class right now, Child In America with Angela Johnson.  There are two girls with Bob Marley shirts.

We reached peak oil a few years ago, and finally we have reached Peak Marley in this classroom.

There are too many Bob Marley shirts   :[

Group Invites

Sometimes I get facebook group invites.  Recently it has been a lot of them.  Yesterday I clicked no to two group invites.

And today they are both back.

I have been reinvited.  By both.  Within 5 minutes of each other.

When will the madness end.

Free Discount Card

SGA is giving out free discount cards again this year.  10% off to several places you probably never go to!  They include

• Dunkin' Donuts
• Ledo Pizza
• Checkers
• Okada Japanese Seafood and Steakhouse

The cards are kinda pretty but they are not laminated which is lame.  I don't even know where Dunkin' Donuts is, or why you would go there when Donut Connection exists.  Speaking of, I was in Pennsylvania last semester and I saw a closed down Donut Connection, it was very scary.

Go get one from Mrs. Paula, especially because then you get to talk to Mrs. Paula and she is super nice.

SGA Elections

It's that time of year again, SGA elections!  For President and Vice President we have Kevin Perry ( I think?) and Lisa Neu.  I loooooooooooooove Lisa Neu, she is wonderful, but I don't know who the other guy is or if he's been involved in SGA.  I just don't know much about him, but they are running unopposed so they will probably win.

Kait Hines who is also awesome will be running for Treasurer, unopposed.  

And no one has signed up to run for Director of Programming :[

I will be running for LQ Senator, which is exciting.  I think I will once again run on the platform of keeping my residence safe from terrorism.
