Off the Cuff

Grow up, Idaho

A Boise public school district voted to ban a book by Sherman Alexie from high school English classes, essentially because of its un-Christian-like content. I don’t even have words for how appalled I am at this action.

Summer sci-fi

My adviser has me taking a class about sci-fi in TV and movies. My Whovian side is real excited.

Eugene, Ore.

After more than six months creating an integrated marketing campaign for Mary Kay, University of Idaho Ad Team finally competes today at University of Oregon. We hope to win again this year.

Go team!

It’s finally time to get our Mary Kay on for Ad Team at the competition at U of O. It feels amazing to finally be done after months of hard work.

Grouplove madness

It seems like the entire university is going insane because the band booked for this year’s Finals Fest will not be a free concert and not a Macklemore equivalent. I mean it’s not like the university announced tuition hikes that will increase the financial burden on the student population … wait a minute that happened too.

Conquering Fear

There’s something terribly unnerving about taking off your scuba mask and regulator 40 feet deep in the ocean. Alas, I did it and am now scuba certified!

3-0

Raise your hand if you expected the Mariners to sweep the Angels to start off the season … None of you? Me neither.

–Ricky

 

Sorry Halos

The Mariners are just too good for you. #broomsticks

Adventure

This is something my life is lacking right now. This summer that will change,

hopefully.

Homework for nothing

Finding out more than half way through the semester you are taking six of your 18 credits for nothing isn’t really what you want to hear. I guess I’m suppose to be thankful for the learning part though.

“Have patience, have patience …

… don’t be in such a hurry. If you get impatient, you only start to worry.” The wise words of a song my grandmother used to sing to me especially ring true today.
