Let’s all agree never to use the word “utilize” ever again. It sickens me.

Can’t believe I’m getting a B in “Intro to Film” because I skipped the screening of Singin’ in the Rain to have margaritas with the boyfriend. Who knew the final would be 30% plot questions on that damn Arthur Freedman vehicle? Moral of the story: DON’T SKIP YOUR CLASSES, KIDS.

In good news, almost done with the semester. Can’t wait to start reading all the books that, as an English major, I’m ashamed I haven’t read. Yay to finishing Huck Finn and Moby-Dick. But I’m just going to keep nodding my head when Austen comes up, because seriously, I can’t do that shit anymore. It’s OK though; I’m a “Professional Writing Option,” whatever the fuck that means. Want some amateurishly coded DITA PDFs?! A GRANT PROPOSAL?? I can write those. Don’t ask me about contemporary literature though because I don’t have an opinion. I probably shouldn’t even read The Awl.

“Bin Laden, in one of his messages, once boasted that he would bankrupt America, and indeed his prophecy is in the process of coming true. In response to 9/11, we launched two major wars and several less obtrusive military operations, rampaging through the Middle East and reaching deeply into Central Asia. It took us ten years, and trillions of dollars, to track down and eliminate a single man. Although we eventually got our man, who was the real winner in this battle?”
the way The Daily What glorifies Obama grosses me out.
