Sep. 6th, 2008 01:41 pmSo you know how Kal Penn supposedly came to my school back in February and then (I don't think I mentioned it in a post but in a comment to someone) I never actually saw him anywhere? Well, apparently he's coming to my school again today, and this time I actually know where and when and why he's supposed to be here. I guess he's coming to tell everyone why they should vote for Obama? Which... kind of makes no sense because my school is one of the most liberal in the country and it's also very political and I wouldn't really think that anyone here would need urging to vote for Obama. But whatever. I'll go check it out and take pictures and listen to what he has to say. It'd still be pretty cool to meet him. And I've been very politically focused the past week or so, if you couldn't tell by my recent posts.
Anyways, this week has been pretty good. I had my first Research in Psych lab which was good. My lab partner is this guy who I had classes with both semesters last year who I've talked to before who is really nice. For the first lab, we had all filled out survey sheets and then we were inputting the class's data, and one of the questions was TV hours through the week, and mine really stuck out. I had like 15 hours and the second most was 7, and then everything else was 5 or lower. I was kind of embarrassed (even though it's anonymous), but then the guy I was working with was like "Oh man, I want to find out who the person who watches 15 hours of TV a week is and be friends with them." So I was like "...yeah, that was me" and then we bonded over the fact that Macalester kids don't seem to watch TV very much and that a lot of people seem to think that TV is bad for you or whatever, but the people who think that clearly just haven't seen any really good TV. And whatever, the lowest grade I've gotten after a year of college is one A-, so I'm pretty sure I'm doing just fine, even with watching lots of TV.
Ok, I'm going to try to finish decorating and organizing my room. I'm having issues figuring out where to put all my posters, and I don't think I'm going to have as much wall space covered as I would want. Hopefully I can get more posters for cheap when the school has its poster sale (which I hope is soon).
