Trains, Plains, and GSIs

Well, the GSIs were definitely out and about today. There was about 10 of them with their picket signs in front of most of the entrances to the university buildings. They were yelling stuff and chanting "we are the union the mighty mighty union" and other stuff, and they were telling all of the students who walked past them to not cross thier picket lines by going into university buildings. I wanted to take a picture but I felt stupid... but then I did anyway. One of the signs that I saw said, "Honor Thy GSI". It was entertaining.

I've become more and more familiar with greek letters as the year has past. Now I'm up to alpha, beta, delta, gamma, epsilon, mu, kappa, lambda, rho, pi, theta, phi, tau, sigma, omega, iota, psi, and chi in no particular order.

Smells bring back memories. A few nights ago I walked into the bathroom and the smell reminded me of the old camp bathrooms: toothpaste, shampoo, and humidity.

Today was packed with fun stuff. The Great Books lecture was actually a little interesting. After completing most of my homework this afternoon, I went to Stucci's with Alison. Afterwards, we walked to Main St. so that Alison could drop off job applications. The weather was so nice! It was sunny and warm and the sky was blue and there was a nice breeze. Then I went down State St. and took some pictures. I went through the Diag and signed a petition and I went under the West Hall arch thing and I had to dodge GSIs protesting when I came out the other side. I bought some Michigan pants at Ulrich's and then I sat on the grass listening to the GSIs, talking to Ross, and enjoying the nice day. And that was my fun fun day!

Everytime I hear a train I think of Goshen.
