Visionary Road Maps

Oops… I had my first lapse in my new writ­ing streak. But it’s because I was on cam­pus all day yes­ter­day, so you’ll for­give me, right? Right?!

OK, so here’s Tues­day first…

Woke up and went to cam­pus with Peggy, even though I had the day off. In her Gen­der class, the pro­fes­sor lec­tured on gen­der iden­tity for­ma­tion, which was really inter­est­ing. I had my book and a news­pa­per ready in class I started to fall asleep, but I didn’t need them at all. It’s amaz­ing to me to see how much my psy­chol­ogy classes over­lap into other top­ics; screw the peo­ple who laugh at it for not being a “hard sci­ence.” Psy­chol­ogy weaves together phys­i­ol­ogy and phi­los­o­phy to explain basi­cally every­thing under the sun.

OK, any­way, after her class, Peggy had to go do an extra credit thing sim­i­lar to Experimetrix for her Com­mu­ni­ca­tion class, so I waited out­side for her and busted out the cross­word. It only took about twenty min­utes, though, so I didn’t get very far. After that, we went over to Sproul so Peggy could talk to her coun­selor, because she wanted to drop a core class she had this term. Saw Pat out­side, and talked to him for a bit. I haven’t hung out with the “fresh­men” in for­ever. (It’s in quotes because we got used to call­ing them that, but they are actu­ally juniors now.)

So as Peggy was talk­ing to her coun­selor, I was wan­der­ing up and down the hall look­ing at mate­ri­als for var­i­ous depart­ments (I kinda want to minor in Lin­guis­tics… no time for that, though) and comics peo­ple posted on their doors. Saw this one and thought of Sophia C.

Quote comes from Peggy’s talk with her counselor:

I’d never imag­ine a coun­selor say­ing that. Maybe it’s just because I came from the Col­lege of Engi­neer­ing, where I was con­stantly given advice like, “Take this class early… the pro­fes­sor teach­ing it this term is really hard, but you’ll get more out of it!”

Went home after that. Had lunch and took a nap. Worked on putting up some more posts from the old web­site, and then Sophia C came over, and it was time to go to the ALA Emi­grant Trails vol­un­teer thank you din­ner. Went over to the Col­leges to pick up Will, my date. Got to Cantina’s and we signed in and loaded up on the buf­fet food. Clay­ton, Michelle, Bran­don, and Nancy P showed up a lit­tle after us. After the eat­ing was done, there was a slideshow and a raf­fle. Peggy got two free movie tick­ets, and Michelle and I got ALA beer mugs. Oh, and they had a bunch of Emi­grant Trails shirts out, which they told us to take because they wanted to get rid of them all. I think Brandon’s the one who got stuck with the box of shirts. He says he’ll be toss­ing them into the crowd at the next meeting.

After the din­ner, dropped Will off and went home. I didn’t even get a good-​night kiss from my date. Sophia left, too. Watched some TV after that and passed out instead of doing some read­ing like I said I would.
