Writing term papers

Remind me why I am an English major, and why I am in graduate school.

Because right now I don't remember.

Look! I'm famous!

That's right. I've reached the pinnacle of literary achievement: I was published in The Daily Universe. My BYU-centric spoof of Stephenie Meyer's overwrought style won first place in a Stephenie Meyer writing competition. I am the happy winner of a $25 gift certificate to the Olive Garden and two tickets to the opening night of New Moon.

Not only did I get free things, I've got a new career direction: imitating Meyer for a living. I mean, that's where the big bucks are. This gift certificate is only the beginning . . .

Parking woes

I have had some difficult and trying experiences with BYU parking the past two days. But rather than complain about them, I am going to follow the advice given to Thumper, the bunny: If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
