So it's summer.
As usual I'm going through the motions of reacquainting myself to the lavish home lifestyle, which includes showering without shoes on and sleeping a whole heck of a lot. Yesterday, however, I hopped (slunk) out of bed at 6:30 and metro-ed down to D.C. to attend a panel on the future of the profit structure for newspapers hosted by the New America Foundation and the Washington Monthly. It was interesting to see seasoned newspaper men clash with independent media champions and business people throw in their two cents about the funding and collapse of newspapers. Senator Ben Cardin talked a bit about his newspaper revitalization bill. I'm not sure about how effective it will be, but at least the sentiment is there.
I felt a little out of my league. But it was kind of awesome. I should take advantage of the city like this more often.
ALSO
I don't think the college is ever going to post my final grades, because they want to wait as lonngggg as possible and torture me into certain insanity.
My application for my politics double major was approved. However, it appears that I will have to take 6 credits of a science to fulfill the liberal arts requirement.
WAIT WHAT?!
Oh dear God. This could get ugly.
Uncool.
I think I'm going to go watch some mindless television and avoid thinking about the horror that would be me actually taking two science courses during my undergraduate career.
I thought the whole point of this "liberal arts" deal was the avoidance of any sort of science. Screw well-roundedness. I'd rather be wholly limited in my knowledge scope, thank you very much.
At least I satisfied all my 6 math credits through AP courses.
I would have a heart attack if someone told me I had to take Calculus II.
