Strange World, yo
Guess who's the newest collumnist at the UDK?
Word, Nenie's got 500 words a week to inflict upon the University of Kansas. I can't believe these fools gave me a spot in the paper, yo. Granted, they interview me so freakin' much, they might as well give me my own collumn. And now, they have. . .Big thanks to Corn for the recommendation. I don't think I could ever fill his collumn inches, but I'm grateful for the chance to try.
In other news, I finished grading EVERYTHING today. It was intense, but there's nothing that my students have turned in to me that has not been graded. Not only that, but all of the grades have been uploaded to Blackboard so folks can look up their own grades, no need to bother me. WHOO!
Now I have to write 40 pages by the time my plane leaves for The Minny on Sunday so I can edit while I'm up in the great, white north. Yeah, this semester thing is really kicking my ass right now. I'm so freaking tired, I just want to sleep forever. Only, Nena and I have a Carleton Alumni Club event to host on Saturday, a trip to go on Sunday-Tuesday, two term papers to write, a house to buy and oh, did I mention I need a job for the summer?
Yeah, this is going to be really rough, yo.
ouch. pain. I'm cleaning for your arrival.
So, whatcha gonna write about?
Like, for the collumn, or the papers?
One is a theoretical examination of the way ethnicity functions in WWE.
The other paper is a close read of a video biography of Frank "Machito" Grillo.
The collumn. . .some shit, I mean, it's me- what do you expect me to write about?
I meant the paper.
I really didn't think race and the WWE would go over well in Kansas. Then again, I'm not sure what goes over well in Kansas, except basketball and Republicans.
Only, I'm not in Kansas. I'm in Lawrence.
Or denial.
No, seriously. Ask a Kansan, they'll tell you. Lawrence is this strange bubble in the corner of Kansas.
Lawrence. The Un-Kansas.
Congrats on landing the UDK column! between that, and the impending unleashment of DJ Slim Mochachino on kj, you're branching out to all media!
