Foot Bridge Tabling

Last Thursday and today (also Thursday!) I sat at a table telling people about the proposed footbridge. Maybe you even saw me! It was pretty exciting. I sat there with this guy whose name I always forget but he likes to hang out with Iben, and Nathan Bossie who was standing near the table harassing people.

I feel really bad about forgetting his name because he is really nice but I feel like I learned his name several months ago and have not heard his name since. Also Nathan did an excellent job of getting people to do the survey while the super nice kid and I sat there watching. We were much more interested in eating lunch.

A lot of people didn't like the idea of the footbridge, but hopefully they looked at the other alternatives. Improved lighting, better road signage, and other complicated methods could be used to help motorists realize that they need to slow down and stop for pedestrians. Whatever happens, I'm glad that the students were able to have an impact on the project by voicing their opinions.

Also I got a SGA cone/megaphone thing. Alternatively it can be used as a funnel! The super nice kid and I sat around using them as trumpets while Nathan got people to fill out the survey. I think we are not very good tablers, but excellent cone trumpet players.

SGA Publicity Committee Meeting

Yesterday I went to Iben Ricket's house with John Campbell and a new girl Sam White. Sam is a freshman from QA and she seemed pretty average. John of course talked about SafeRide a lot. Iben had Double Stuffed Oreos and Tostitos Scoops and Salsa. I fucking love Scoops so much, like I get offended if I am at a party with chips and salsa and the chips are not scoops. I just can't deal with real corn chips anymore after having the ease of scoops. Also she said that she got Double Stuffed Oreos so that she did not look cheap, but John and I were too busy eating them to listen to what she was saying. Oreos are so good, but I haven't had them in a long time.

Moving on, we discussed a few topics like SGA giving out frisbees wit the SGA logo. Speaking of the logo, Publicity Committee is trying to make an SGA logo, but none of us are good at logo design so we are planning on having a contest with 50$ gift card to whoever makes the logo we like the most.

Also we talked about these plywood cubes that UNC has. I don't have any pictures, but imagine a 8x3 foot sheet of plywood. Now imagine four of them put together into a cube. Students and clubs can paint things on these, like advertisements for club events or whatever they want. I think it's a pretty sweet idea, and gives the students an opportunity to express themselves creatively. Radical!

SGA Meeting 1/27/09

No SGA meeting tonight due to the snow/ice etc. This made me kinda sad :[

But I did write up a piece of legislation! It states that the SGA wants all of the clubs to create club websites that are hosted by smcm. This past semester Kait Hines worked with various club leaders to create club websites, but so far there are only a half dozen or so. You can find them here.

Snow Day

Snow Day

Why are you reading a blog it's a snow day!

Edit: I didn't know it was snowing until my Mac told me, hence the image. Can you guess what the background of the image is?

My Senatorial Profile

Apparently the SGA website has profiles of all the Senators and other SGA members. Mine is of course the one in the photo. You can find the full list here. I enjoyed the fact that they spelled "sophomore" wrong. People forget the "o" in the middle a lot. I imagine next year when I am no longer a sophomore I too will forget how to spell it. I think my reason for involvement in the SGA is pretty excellent. Wednesday I have a meeting with Iben Ricket about SGA Publicity which should be exciting.

Crab Pizza

The Great Room offers many types of pizza, from the obvious cheese and pepperoni, to much rarer flavors such as the bacon cheeseburger pizza and the elusive buffalo chicken pizza (my favorite from Kohlers, I have seen this three times total in the Great Room). This morning at brunch I saw something which must be the rarest pizza of all...crab pizza. It appeared to have some sort of snow crab topping on the pizza, cut into small circles, almost like a cut-up raddish. The crab was plentiful too, with over a dozen pieces on each slice. It was truly an amazing dish. I felt honored to have been able to try it. I made the picture in MS Paint, it took several hous.

A Tom Seahawk Christmas

Last Semester I helped my residents decorate the hallway for the holidays. It was a lot of fun, and we made a Christmas tree and a Festivus Pole. Here you can see a whole album of festivities! I meant to put this up awhile ago but I was busy sleeping over Winter Break. It was a pretty exciting event.

St. James Historic Site

Some of you may not recognize the photo in this post, or even realize that it is in fact on campus. This is the entrance to the new St. James Historic Site. The building opened sometime in 2008, I think during the fall maybe? It's a pretty cool place with a really nice architectural aesthetics and a lot of information about St. Mary's City. It's open until 5 PM most days so you should definitely check it out.

The Responsibilities of an RA

Sometimes being an RA I have to do difficult things. Like moving a thong from underneath the water fountain in my hallway to Chris Rodkey's doorknob. I used a plastic shovel of course.

Sitting in the RA office

I am sitting in the RA office. A guy and a girl with arms around each others shoulders just came in. The girl's crotch was....wet. I only saw her from behind, and the butt part of her crotch was wet. I am assuming that the frontal/vaginal part of her crotch was also wet. I am very confused by this. I know who the guy is but I'd rather not put his name here because it would be kinda embarrassing.
