New Carpets in the Library

Library got new carpet!  I generally avoid the library (via avoiding work) so I only knew about this since I had to go to the faculty senate meeting this week (which is held in the library in a fancy room on the 2nd floor).  Library has a weird smell now, but the carpet is pretty.

Hope no one spills coffee/liquor on it.

LQ Bathrooms

If you intend to blow a guy in one of the LQ bathrooms on the top floor which have windows that face the main area, and there are dozens of people and PS officers outside, please put down the shades first so that everyone is not able to see.

REALTALK

Seahawk Basketball!

Went to the game on Wednesday and we won!  Basketball is a fun sport to watch.  I am glad we have a large cheering student section.  I sat behind the so that I was able to pretend to be an active cheerer, but not actually do anything.  I did bring my yellow foam finger though!

Game today at 4, good luck!

PANIC! Cook's Liquors Robbery

Apparently Cook's was burglarized a few nights ago.  According to Alexa Milroy, two packs of Newport Lights, some scratch-offs and a bottle of Jack Daniels was stolen.

Apparently, they were the dumbest criminals.  Why would you steal that!  Why not steal every bottle of patron and live like a king???

Anyway, please don't rob Cook's.

Artificial Ice Rink

This Saturday from 12 to 6 there will be an artificial ice rink!  The SGA and Programs Board is sponsoring the event, and it will be awesome.  You'll be able to find the ice rink outside the Michael P. O'Brien Athletics and Recreation Center building, on top of the Michael P. O'Brien Athletics and Recreation Center outdoor basketball court.

I assume it will look like this!  There will only be 40 people on it at a time, so plan accordingly or something.  Also they will have hot chocolate.  Woo.

I don't know how to ice skate.  It looks very difficult, even though Ovechkin makes it look easy.  There will also be music!

I wonder what will happen to all the ice afterwards.  I guess it will melt or something.  I wonder if we can take the ice afterwards and make giant ice luges.  I don't actually like ice luges, but I do like the concept of them.

One last thing!  Did anyone take Colonial American History and has the textbooks?  I want to borrow/buy it from you.

UPDATE:  Here is the company's website with more image of what it will really look like.

Preconceived Notions about College

Before I started college I always hoped that there would be days that I had leftover pizza for breakfast.  Today is that day.

Slow Cooker

I got a slow cooker for Christmas (well really my mom got me a fryer, but I'm not really sure why.  Either way I didn't really want a device whose sole purpose was to make foods deliciously fat so I exchanged it for a slowcooker!) and I am currently cooking some rice.  I hope it goes well.  It takes a lot longer to cook it via this method as opposed to on the stove, so I'm not really sure why I'm doing it, but it should be interesting to see how it turns out!

In case you were wondering when classes start...

Thanks Portal!

Back at school

Now what...someone visit me oof

Snow Removal Job

Kevin Mercer, the guy in charge of the Grounds is hiring students at a rate of 10$/hr to shovel snow!  Interesting.  I wonder if any other schools do this.  I really enjoy shoveling snow, but I can't imagine wanting to do it for more than an hour.  I feel like I would get really lazy after awhile.

Also, when this was sent out all emails sent to Kevin were met with an 'out of office auto-reply'.  Why was it sent when he wasn't around!  Oh well, it doesn't really matter.

I wonder if there are fewer Grounds workers now so they are hiring students to do boring stuff.
