Undergraduate Admissions

Lately, I’ve been watching The Daily Show and The Colbert Report almost every day. Part of it is definitely election mania, which most certainly has me in its grasp, but I also think that I actually enjoy the shows more while the writers are on strike. There’s less planned, written segments, and things seem more personal and random. Also, on The Daily Show, there are almost never any correspondents at all–it’s mostly just Jon Stewart talking about the news. (The segments with the correspondents were always my least favorite part of The Daily Show.) The whole incident with Conan O’Brien was pretty funny, too. (It should be easy to find video clips on the internet if you have no idea what I’m talking about.) I have to admit though, I definitely do miss “The Word”.

I’ve had a few randomly canceled classes this semester. Not a lot by any means, but a few. This is more than I’ve ever had before, I think. In the past few years, I felt like somehow I always signed up for classes where the teacher never misses a single class. I do like the classes I’m taking, but once in a while finding out randomly that you have some extra free time is always nice. It’s like a snow day without the bad weather.

I feel like the busier I am, the less I have to write. Isn’t that weird? It makes sense though, in that I’m busy with things about which I don’t really have anything to say.
