Insanity right now. I hate the last stretch before Thanksgiving break, it always equals craziness. Lots of projects/tests/stuff due. And then break and then a week and then exams. Hell yes for this semester being over. Straight A's please.
But that's a little far in the future to be contemplating all that seriously. For now, here's what I'm focusing on:
-Design project due Tuesday. I have all my stories laid out on my front and inside pages, I just need to MEASURE and make sure everything lays out equally. Which is what tomorrow is for.
-Articles. Last 2 weeks of Practicum are this week, and I want to make a good impression so I have a shot at working at the Plainsman next semester. I have 3 articles in 2 weeks, so I need to get. those. done. I was 2 days late with my last article, and needless to say, I kinda got bitched at. Like twice. So that was fun...
-This weekend. Going to my 2nd away game this season: UGA. My #1 college pick (and I still entertain romantic notions about life there). Their football team sucks this year, probably worse than Auburn, and I'd say we have a shot at putting this game away. Hopefully. It's going to be a blast, win or lose. My hotel room: Katie, Isaac, me, Adam, and Bryn. Adam and Bryn are planning to spend some time in ATL so we are taking separate cars, since me, Isaac, and Katie can go to ATL any day and really want to hit up Athens. Ballin'.
-There Eyes Were Watching God. Ok, so I hate Zora Neale Hurston. I share the opinion of Richard Wright and other intellectual haters when they claim she panders to white humorous ideas about black culture. Put simply, I find her racist. I mean, I GET IT, she is trying to accurately represent "black culture," but I honestly think she fails. She plays on white stereotypes of black culture. I have met a lot of black people and not all of them talk like "that." COME ON. I was one of like 2 white people in my graduating 8th grade class. I have met and befriended a lot of black people. And they surely don't have this huge dialect barrier that separates them from the "white class." I realize some black people retain "ebonics" in colloquial culture, as do some white people, but to portray all black people like she does...as a WHITE person, I find it insulting. So no, regardless of what she "overcame," I don't like her, and I don't like her writing.

P.S. I was Hillary Clinton for Halloween. A year late, yes, I know, but still relevant. Pics later?
