Well, the program is over and *yawn* was it underwhelming. Everyone who was there already knew. It was a good dialogue and a few of the straight people actually got to ask questions about things they were unsure of or didn't know.
The rest of my day was so so. I have a ton of reading and studying to to in CMST 192. Our first exam is next Wednesday. *EEEEK!* I feel confident about it and being able to get all the material learned.
ESCI 230 today was a recap of Friday's lecture about storm surge and tropical systems. As he stated numerous times, the meteorology people all ready understand this and have had it before. He did a great explanation as to the origins of tropical systems. We did get our problems sets for this section. They are due in two weeks. At least he gave us a decent amount of time to work on them.
POL 195 was the same monotone lecture. At times, I just want to bust out with "Bueller....Bueller...Bueller" and see how many people get it and have a good laugh.
Other news, I found out the SCSU Pagan Alliance meets on Wednesday nights at 7pm which will be cool. I also managed to get my hands on the name of the person who is the trustee for the SCSU club station license and also the owner for the 440 repeater on the roof. I should have a much easier time getting the Radio Club on campus reactivated.
I'm planning a major overhaul of Stocky Jock soon. I have some content to add. In addition, I want to put up some forums so people can sound off and have interactive discussions. The Yahoo Group seems to be rather slow to inactive and not really fostering much discussion.
I think I'm coming down with a cold. Either that or I scalded my throat on my coffee this morning (that's what I think it is) as it's not in my chest and my sinuses don't hurt. It's a scratchy throat with a small but nagging cough. I'm not worried about it but if it's not much better in a couple of days, I'll be over in Health Services.
I'm going to head to bed fairly early tonight. I have a headache and this throat thing is nagging me too. I'm going to read some more of "Virtual Equality" by Urvashi Vaid, which is turning into quite the fascinating read about the history of the gay civil rights movement and where we have (and haven't) gotten on our goals.
It's really making me rethink my position of just being a gay man on campus. Rather, I realize that I just as myself, have a powerful position in educating others and also in shaping people's perceptions of GLBT people.
School is tough, but I love it.
I'm off to read for a bit then to sleep.
