Ahhh
I'm supposed to be finishing my stats homework, so I'm blogging. Logical? Certainly not. Typical? Of course.

I'm not going to DC tomorrow to lobby and Save The Arctic!! because I'm sick and I need rest. Oh well. To tell the truth I've had it with activism. I'd rather have adventure. I'm already dying to go to Machu Picchu next year after seeing the sweet new exhibit in the Peabody.

Also, speaking of the Peabody, Jeff Quilter from the Harvard Peabody (which is all Anthro/Archaeo) is coming tomorrow. One good perk about not going to the rally. Ooh I want to go to Harvard so bad! And Chicago. I just remembered that Indiana Jones went to Chicago. But then again, he wasn't technically a very good archaeologist. And he didn't exist. Details.

But Harvard...well. Harvard is the second largest purchaser of renewable energy among U.S. universities. Yale doesn't even make the list! PresLev is supposed to make some important energy decisions this month regarding the proposal we Climate Campaigners helped develop...there I go again. Activism. Bleh. I think activism made me sick. That's whay I can't go activate at the rally tomorrow. Fair enough.

What's really important for college students to be doing? We're still in training for our world takeover. Why jump the gun? We should learn as much as we can right now and THEN, when we're ready, go impact society. All these youth spending more time out carrying signs than they do studying are prematurely cutting off their potential as influential citizens. I mean, it's like eating cookie dough instead of waiting till the cookies bake. Cookie dough expands, people. That's why you put it in tiny balls on the sheet so they don't all run into eachother when they're baking. Similarly, our minds will expand as we're baking in the college oven. Then we will be ready to provide the planet with all our nutritious goodness while the doughpeople who learned how to protest in college will still be protesting and never properly learn how to think.

When there's a chance at really solving a problem rather than just pushing back certain doom (as will be the fate of any noble endeavor while Bush is in office), I'll get off my butt. Till then, it's cookies for me.
