10/24/2002: "Aliens and pumpkins"
What a long day. Productive, I supposed, but this morning seems like such a long time ago. I fell asleep in both of my morning classes, but I still managed to go shopping before going home to take a nap. Aeropostale was having a box sale at the student union. I picked up three sweaters for $60. Not bad at all...
Then I went to see my criminal justice advisor for the first time ever, and he scared the dickens out of me. He had this sign on his door that dictated what you have to do in order to talk to him. First you have to knock and wait for him to tell you to enter. Then you have to prop the door open. Then you have to stand until he tells you to sit. Then when you leave, you have to ask him if he wants you to close the door behind you. I'm not kidding here, it was like something out of a movie. I half expected him to be like the Soup Nazi, one misstep and "No advising for you! Come back one year!"
He WAS helpful, he got several problems cleared up for me and advised against taking this one class before I took one they're in the process of making a prerequiste. So now I'm taking Philosophy of Law in place of Procedural Rights.
While I was talking with one of my sorority sisters today, I mentioned my evil public admin prof. Apparently she had him for the same class back when she was a political science major. And apparently her advisor, the head of the political science department, apologized to her when she mentioned that she had him. All I can say is YIKES. And why the hell is this guy still working here if the head of the polsci department thinks he's a horrible teacher?
Then my sorority sisters carved pumpkins and delivered them to all the frats on campus. I'm sure it would have gone much faster if we actually had sharp knives in the house.
And then I wrote 3 1/4 pages of an 8 page paper I have to write for astronomy. I'm writing about aliens. Honestly. The amount of work that the SETI Institute (Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence) is putting into it and how scientifically advanced they're getting is really scary.
And now I'm looking at two applications...one is for taking a position in my sorority and one is for taking a position on the Panhellenic Executive council. For all you non-Greeks, Panhel is the council that oversees all sororities on campus. I definitely want to take a position within the sorority, namely VP of Scholarship, but I don't know about the Panhel one. I think I'd rather take a cabinet position for Panhel, which are less time consuming and give less responsibility.

about the bad prof .... once a prof gets tenured its hard to remove him even if he is a shitty prof. And remeber ... professers are generally there to do research ... teaching is just the side gig ... so he could be VERY well published .... and thats why he gets to still be a teacher.joe, Friday, October 25th
