In West Philadelphia,
Headed on a plane, at a conference is where I’ll spend most of my days. Working real hard, acting all cool hoping they won’t think I’m a fool.

When a couple of students
Who were up to no good, started making trouble for them Ida-hoods.
They got in one little fight, and Shawn got scared, and said “You’re losin’ it, go to the conference down them stairs.”

A wish
I wish school shootings weren’t a “normal” thing. It makes me sick that our society has become OK with children being murdered in the name of the Second Amendment. Where’s the compassion?
—Amber
Dear politicians,
Please do not politicize the school shooting in Washington. It’s really a sick thing to do.

RIP Oscar Taveras
Wearing my Cardinals hat today. Two weeks ago Taveras hit a home run that led St. Louis to its only win in the NLCS. Today, he is gone. Thoughts and prayers go out to his teammates, friends and family and his girlfriend.

We need more X-Men movies
If Jake Gyllenhaal does not turn blue by the end of “Nightcrawler” and gain the ability to teleport, I am going to be so disappointed.

No more math … ever
Basically Alton Campbell and Dan Davenport are my heroes of the week. Thanks for helping me realize my dream of never taking another math class.

A year of “lasts”
More and more, I’m feeling the finality of this school year. As much as I’m looking forward to my next stage, there’s a bittersweet feeling knowing it will never be this way again.

Time flies
It’s happening again. September felt like it took years to finally end, and all of a sudden it’s almost November. Where did October go?
—Erin
SUB
The whole building was shaking. Was it an earthquake? Nope, just the Delta Zeta construction happening next to the SUB.

Convenience
Oregon residents have a luxury of always mailing in their ballots. I’ve never been to the polls, but voting from the comfort of your home seems much nicer to me.

Designing like the wind
I am so happy to be getting in touch with my artistic side. Stay tuned for what I create next.

Stephan’s first
The sports staff will be without Stephan and I this week, as we are heading to Philadelphia for a journalism convention. The 76ers will be playing, and I’m determined to go — not only because it would be awesome, but it would be Stephan’s first professional sporting event.
