So, I was falling asleep during class…I was just going to doodle a bit to keep myself awake…and this happened…I…I don’t understand…my mind…
EDIT: Here is Harold’s new blog: http://harold-the-dancing-dalek.tumblr.com/
~Lily, Emilie and Miranda for their everlasting enthusiasm and helping to throw a great Preface release party bash - highlight to my otherwise work-filled weekend!
~Camden for telling me to make it to one more in page in my essay
~Jen for living across the hall so we could jointly commiserate about how much we hate finals every morning, evening and bathroom break
~I Made America for keeping me sane during the wee hours of the morning when everyone else was asleep/also stressing out and unable to do so
~Thomas Jefferson for providing me with a few great songs to listen to keep me awake and energized while writing paper
~Tragedy Series and TJ and Amal for great artwork and something clever and well thought out to look forward
~Leftover Lindt truffles for providing me with the caffeine I needed to stay awake in a delicious, compact way
~Corgis for existing and being adorable with huge ears and tiny feet
…..Now what do I do with myself?
How helpful do we think pictures of Corgis and I Made America will be to helping me complete my essay on Faulkner’s Absalom, Absalom!?

Had to reblog this just to let you know that it has made a huge circle through a bunch of people to be reblogged by a tumblr that I follow by someone I don’t know. :D I apologize that the previous sentence was so long and nonsensical.

So the story behind this photo is pretty hilarious:
FIRST, I get this letter:
Dear HONY,
My friend and I are obsessed with the guy who works the late-night shift at the Donut Pub (located at 203 W 14th St… Cross streets=7th and 14th). He works starting at 11:30pm every single night. The guy remembered my name after not seeing me for months—I had only been there once before. He is a real character and has the best smile you’ll ever see. You’ll know who I’m taking about when you see him!
-Margaret
So last night my girlfriend and I make a pilgrimage to find this man. After an hour’s travel, we arrive at the Donut Pub. When we walk in the door, there are two men working- one behind the counter, one in the back room. My girlfriend tugs on my arm, points to the man in the back room, and says: “That’s him! I just saw him smile. That’s him!”
We explain to the man behind the counter that we want to photograph the man in the back room. He says it is not allowed. We are very persistent. He is very reluctant— saying we’ll have to come back when the manager is there.
Things turn a little chilly. Awkward and chilly.
Eventually he is convinced to go to the back room and tell the man that we want his picture. He comes back and says, “He doesn’t want his picture taken.”
Finally we pull up the letter on a smart phone, and show it to the man behind the counter. “Will you at least read it to him?” I ask. The man behind the counter reads the letter. Suddenly he starts to smile. Then he starts to blush.
The whole time— he’d been the man we were supposed to photograph.
“I was so confused,” he explained, “the man in the back never interacts with customers. I had no idea why you wanted to take his photo. Plus he’s not much of a smiler.”
THEN, just when things couldn’t get any nuttier, the person who wrote the letter walks in the front door.
This is adorable! Awww.

There has been a severe lack of Corgis on this blog.
In order to rectify this, I have re-followed corgiaddict, so expect adorableness coming your way! (Especially since it’s finals time, I know we all need it.)
A huge thank you to John Adams and Benjamin Franklin from I Made America for their birthday phone call to my friend Jen! It was a huge highlight of her birthday celebration, and it was great to speak to you both!
Thank you for making our Thursday that much more exciting and for helping to make her birthday special! You guys are awesome.
Happy Birthday, Jen! Even though it was yesterday, hope you enjoyed your special day!
How do you even begin to find schools that you might actually want to go to?
One thing I would recommend is thinking about what you want - do you want a campus school or a school in a city? Do you want to be far away from home (like another coast), somewhat close by (I am 4 hours away from my house) or farther away (same coast but more like 8 hours)?
What are you looking for out of your college experience? My high school was about 300 people per grade, and I enjoyed actually getting to know my teachers and that is something I wanted to continue into college. I have never been in a class with 500 people where I could barely see the professor, and he or she wouldn’t know if I was there, anyway. That was never something that I wanted, and at the school I go to, I know all of professors well and they know me, and classes are a combination of dialogue and lecture. My college is about 400 people per year, and I am glad that I chose a place only slightly larger than my high school.
In a similar vein, I didn’t know what I wanted to major in, but I knew that I liked English and that I would want to continue with that. I took Spanish in high school and continued it into college, but I though at first I would just keep taking it and didn’t think much about it. I started as double major in English and Spanish and then I became a Spanish major, English minor.
I would also look at some college books, I think Fiske is the one I used, since it seemed to give a good description of each school so I got the feel of what each one was like. I hope this is helpful!
While I was napping earlier, I am quite sure I heard someone in my hallway finishing a sentence with, “It’s my favorite soap opera about the Founding Fathers!”
Since my friends and I live on the same hallway, talk about IMA quite a lot, and I posted a mostly-naked Franklin on her door for the first of April, I’m quite sure this person was talking about I Made America.
Huzzah!
