Considering I’m back in the world of academia I should have something intelligent, thoughtful, and perhaps deep to say, but I don’t. This is quickly turning from a political rants journal to a regular live journal, although I’m not spilling out any deep dark secrets (sorry profile pirates). Speaking of pirates, someone drew a really cool pirate ship on our transfer mural in Moore.

Transfers! I’ll talk about transfers.

So yeah.

Running transfer orientation went really well. We have a good group, who seem to ‘mesh’ well. They actually came to our community service event (ours was painting a mural, we were lucky…most freshman got stuck raking leaves, cleaning up trash and painting trees ((what the hell is painting trees anyway))). There’s no way to say “welcome” like “Hi, its your second day here! Guess what you’re doing!?! Picking up trash because the college is broke and can’t pay someone to do it! So we’re going to dress it up like a community service project, even though its doing nothing for the community!” But I digress.

Anyway, mural painting with the transfers was lots of fun, and then most of them came to our house on Monday night, and our living room was overflowing with people. We kept them seperated from the freshman for the most part, because they know how to go to college, and we didn’t like all the stupid frosh-events they had us do when we transferred. So yay for our successful transfer orientation.

Hm. I’m not even going to try to bullshit on why this is political.

It’s Friday late morning and I have class today…Class on Friday is an outrage, especially for a former Hampshire student. But its just IA 101, so its easy and not until after 12, so if I suddenly become a social butterfly this semester I can go out on Thursday nights. But that probably won’t happen.
