We Drove Out to the Desert Just to Lie Down Beneath This Bowl of Stars

Thank goodness Film Appreciation is finally over. It has been enjoyable to watch films from the past that I have always wanted to see like Citizen Kane, but the lecture portion of the class defintely sprung forth from one of the Inner Circles of Hell.

Last week at Club the guys who are graduating in December (and actually leaving instead of hanging around like a certain Demetrius Collins) gave their Senior Speeches. A general time of frivolity and free clothes as guys pass down old shirts, hats, and a myriad of other items that only Gamma Sigs would find valuable. It will be difficult to imagine GSP without guys like Cody Blair, Clay Chesser, Cal Begnalio. They have placed themselves in positions of service, and that effort has brought this club to the place that it is today.

I have my Politics of Developing Countries Final today with Dr. Neal Coates. It should not be incredibly difficult, and I think that I will write on the following essay question: Explain the theory and practicality of how drastic agrarian or political reform occurs in LDCs--with compromise and reason, with violence, or mixture of the two. I feel pretty good writing about it, but if anyone has any incredible insights in this area before 2 p.m., just shoot me an email.

I loved Film Appreciation. Although the lectures could occasionally grow boring, it still pandered more to basest desires to just sit around and talk about movies than any other class at ACU.

Also, props for (a) using song lyrics for post titles and (b) never seeming to run out.

Don't believe the hype; the call is an ancient Native American ritual. Sibling Screaming Bird, pledge class of '69, introduced it to club after it was passed down to him by his ancestors.
