Here's to you, Raul Duke

Okay, it's 1 o'clock in the morning and I've just finished Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, so I don't know if people have been asking me to update my blog or if it's just the voices in my head.
So, right, updates.
The semester is almost over and I'm pretty on top of things so I can chill a little. I'm kinda sad because I've just worked out a great system for taking Freedom's after a semester and a half and now it's almost over. Maybe I can apply it to another class. Speaking of which, the school has announced another major Political Theory which Grace rightly described as "majoring in Freedom's". A lot of people (or maybe a few people many times) have been urging me to switch over to it next year. I don't want to do that because I don't want to be a political theorist; there's a reason why I'm a journalism major. But looking at the requirements it wouldn't be any trouble at all to do both except for the 24 credits of DRW required for it. I'd like to ask if someone doing a double major could cut back or exempt those credits or if I could pioneer the concept of a minor. I'd like to talk to my advisor but due to a death in the family, he's out of town this week (The geometry adjunct too, it must be catching). Sympathies to his family, but aggghhhhh, on advising week! The one time of the semester I need to talk to him specifically. I might *gasp* just go talk to Dr. Bonicelli.
With summer on its way I am looking forward to my internship at the Houston Home Journal. I'm a little nervous because the guy still hasn't gotten back to me about the pay and when I will start. He said it was a sure thing, but I've lost too many sure things to ever again be truly comfortable with the concept. It will really be nice to get out there and get some experience. But, before I begin actual journalism, I will need to stop reading Hunter S. Thompson. Or maybe read more, I haven't decided which.
Speaking of reading things, I am almost done with A Confederacy of Dunces, which is great. I've heard that they are going to make a movie starring Will Farrell; that should be amazing, as should The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Coming soon, coverage of the Presidential race and L-Ball memories. Also, An Ideal Husband and a Washington Nationals game.
PS I like Billy Wilder movies. Especially Stalag 17
