You see that bad ass hipster on the far left? That’s Professor Nathan Brown.
He was my critical theory teacher sophmore year and he wrote the open letter calling for Katehi’s resignation.
You see that incredibly eloquent lady holding the piece of paper? That’s Professor Chaganti.
She taught my Chaucer class last winter and today she called for Katehi’s resignation and the disbandment of the UCD PD.
You see all of those fine ass people up there? Those are the UCD English Professors condemning the use of violence against peacefully protesting students. I’ve never been more proud to be an English major in my entire life.
Exactly how I felt; except that Professor Marx (man behind woman in scarf) and Professor Hsu (man behind tall man in coat to the far right) are my amazing teachers.

Ok. This looks fantastic.

“So to note the fiftieth birthday of the closest thing that American literature has to an “Alice in Wonderland” of its own, Norton Juster’s “The Phantom Tollbooth”—with illustrations, by Jules Feiffer, that are as perfectly matched to Juster’s text as Tenniel’s were to Carroll’s—is to mark an anniversary that matters.”

Made my motherf*ing day.
Megan,
I feel like your essay 2 is a perfect example of a mythological analysis. Would you be willing to send me an electronic copy to have on hand for other students who want to see an example?

It feels like Fall outside today. In a little while, the Michael and I are going for Pumpkin Spice Lattes and a walk in downtown, followed by a birthday party and drinks with friends - a perfect Saturday.

I am practicing my monologue for my audition in the M.U. Lounge while waiting for my Film as Narrative class to start. And I’m pretty sure I just got a job in the clothing and makeup section of the bookstore. Besides needing more coffee, today is amazing. I feel so lucky to be here.

The Woman Who Is Obsessed with Her Career and Is No Fun at All
I regularly work sixteen hours a day. Yet, like most people I know who are similarly busy, I’m a pleasant, pretty normal person. But that’s not how working women are depicted in movies. I’m not always barking orders into my hands-free phone device and yelling, “I have no time for this!” Often, a script calls for this uptight career woman to “relearn” how to seduce a man, and she has to do all sorts of crazy degrading crap, like eat a hot dog in a sexy way or something. And since when does holding a job necessitate that a woman pull her hair back in a severe, tight bun? Do screenwriters think that loose hair makes it hard to concentrate.

Davis Library Adventure: Book Fifteen
Boobs are near the center of the universe, until you turn twenty-five or so. Which is also when young men’s auto insurance rates go down. This is not a coincidence.
- Jim Butcher, Ghost Story
So my Summer Library Adventure basically turned into a Dresden Marathon, but it was well worth it.
Discussing a problem with yourself is almost never a good way to secure a divergent viewpoint.

Davis Library Adventure: Book Fourteen
Susan smiled at me, giving Molly the Female Once-Over—a process by which one woman creates a detailed profile of another woman based upon about a million subtle details of clothing, jewelry, makeup, and body type, and then decides how much of a social threat she might be. Men have a parallel process, but it’s binary: Does he have beer? If yes, will he share with me?
- Jim Butcher, Changes
Harry’s one-liners in Butcher’s novels crack me up.
