New Adventures

Subway is now dead to me. You can thank Jimmy John's for that. For all you unenlightened folk, Jimmy John's is an INCREDIBLE sandwich place that's less than 5 minutes away from my dorm. Their bread is fresh baked, meat and vegetables freshly cut, etc, etc. Basically its awesome. It's just a tad more expensive than Subway but whatevs. The walls are also covered in cool posters and signs. 

So new adventures... Yesterday I first moved into the wonderful world of Journalism. So I wandered into the newspaper room. The way it works is that the editors announce possible assignments and writers are expected to volunteer for ones they want to write. Ok some quick background that'll make this a lot clearer. SLU just built an $80 million dollar arena that seats 10,600 people. It's pretty beastly. The newspaper got a tip that there are now curb ramps (y'know like at a crosswalk the curb sorta slopes down) for handicap people. This might violate the ADA (American Disabilities Act) which would be bad for SLU because then they'd probably have to rip up the curb and make it compatible. So I have till Friday to get this expose researched and written. It's Thursday and I still haven't been able to find a disabilities lawyer who I can talk to about this issue. Oh well, we'll see what goes down...

As I write this entry I'm sitting in the bio building because Phil and I idiotically thought bio lab was at 8 am when it was actually at 9 am so we're sitting here in our rain soaked pants (imagine like the worst rain we got all year in San Jose, it's that bad). 

So after a simple bio lab in which the only negative was my soaked clothing, a good Chinese meal, and a hot shower upon returning my room. I think I'll finish up this post with what hopefully will become a recurring theme. One cool saying or joke or something I've heard and remember, and one song that you guys should check out to expand your musical horizons.

This saying comes from a sign in Jimmy John's:

Work like you don't need the money; Love like you've never been hurt; Dance like nobody's watching.

And the song for this post is Sunrise, Goodbyes by Houston Calls
