7 Bad Writing Habits you Learned in School

This morning I made it to the library cafe early enough to be the first to snatch the only copy of The New York Times my school can afford anymore for the entire campus to share. Thank you, budget cuts. I thought it was really funny that there was an article called "Obama Girls get the Swine Flu Shots." Really?? Is it because he won a Nobel Peace Prize? Wait, why did he win that, again? It's old news but it's never too late to ask.

adorableness I found on gizmodo.com

Today was a pretty educational day. I went to a lecture on The Female Register and, which was oh so interesting. Made me think about how I say "um" and "like" too much in everyday speech. And then someone made a comment on how they read an article about how people who say "um" a lot are actually really intelligent because it signifies how they're always calculating in their minds for the best way of saying something. But I'm pretty sure that's not the case for me. I'm pretty sure I'm just bad at talking.

And then I sat in on a CompSci guest speaker from Google talk about file sharing. He had the coolest Israeli accent. And the lecture was pretty sweet, obviously, I mean, let's be honest. One day Google will rule the world.

um, AWESOME
