Lessons for my fellow students to learn

1.When there are signs posted in the library, in LARGE font, you should read them. If it says “Cell-phone free area,” that means turn the bloody thing OFF. It does not mean answer it and talk on it for ten minutes, telling people why you’re in the library and what you’re going to have for […]

“Officer, officer, stop that man! He just stole my identity!”

In my several years at college thus far, I have noticed something rather frightening.
People are way-too-easily drawn by free stuff.
For example, outside the library (I passed him on my way in to type this) is a man standing behind a table, laden with clipboards, t-shirts, tiny FM radios. Hand-lettered sign proclaim, “2 free gifts with […]

More Bitching about Grammar

I live near Armwood High School, so I drive past it every morning on my way to USF. It seems they have changed their sign since Thursday:
Senior’s
Get Your
Yearbook

Grimly amusing that a school, of all places, would have a sign much in need of correction. [Upon looking later, I see that they have been given a […]

Random Televisions

I was walking down the back corridor of the College of Education this morning when I saw it - a television mounted over one of the classroom doors. Curiouser, it had a static screen: a green background for salmon-colored text reading “Welcome to the College of Education” (no punctuation; I was rather hoping for an […]

Pedantry - What, spelling words correctly??

I’ve been on the internet a loooong time. I remember being on dial-up in 1995, using Trumpet Winsock to connect to our local service, getting disconnected every ten or fifteen minutes. . .
Anyway. In that time, I have seen this bleary-eyed web we weave grow unbearable at times. Why? Poor typists abound on the […]

Eh.

It’s strange to be speaking “out into the void” here, as it were. There is a comment function, but no one uses it. I’m not alone in this, however. I skim through the Recently Updated Blogs page (which isn’t all that recent; it’s always hours off) and I find that no one comments on anything. […]

Ugh, Walmart.

Upon looking at the recently updated blogs here, I came upon this page, wherein the author was frustrated at being unable to buy something in-store that was on sale, pushing one to purchase it online and wait. My opinion of this is stores such as Walmart and Target are now attempting to compete with Amazon […]

Hmm…

All of this blank, inviting space. I don’t even know if anyone will really READ this, but I’m procrastinating on a paper, at any rate.
It’s at this point in the semester where you just wish to stop time for a few weeks, so that you can complete all of your projects at a leisurely pace, […]

Testing 1 2 3

Hmm, don’t know how often I will use this, considering I already have an LJ. I thought I would set it up anyhow, just in case I would like to use it in the future. I’m going to see how this works now . . .
