The Occupy Penn State lounge has added a "Support Joe and Penn State" sign to their collection of signs. They've also added to their list of demands -- they're now demanding that the course evaluations that the students fill out at the end of the semester be made public information. (My last set of evaluations included one who marked me down because I spent too much time erasing the board.) The only consistent demand from them is lower tuition -- everything else seems to change day by day.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Because books.
Penn State is so affordable, especially for in-state students, compared to other colleges. Get real, kids. No one's going to school for pocket change anymore.

The in-state tuition at Penn State is more than the in-state tuition at state schools in a lot of other states, but Penn State also has a much better academic reputation than a lot of those other schools. And I'd have a whole lot more respect for them as an Occupy movement if they seemed at all concerned with the fact that the last round of budget cuts, in addition to raising tuition, also cut quite a few jobs.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Did I apply to Penn State? Or would it have been U of Penn? I cannot remember.
I'm calling in sick today. I'm getting one document submitted to the web team, and that's it. I officially can't cope. I'm fucked.

UPenn is in Philly, Penn State is out in State College, if that helps you remember.
Sorry about the sick, lady. I hope you can sleep some today.

All this application was from the UK, so it was all "Magical land of Americus" to me. I didn't know shit.
I'm going to take another heavy duty sleeping pill and try again, once I've cleared my responsibilities for the morning. I don't expect it to work...but I will try. I will also attempt another apple. Whoohah!
And, you owe me mail, madam!

I'm doing it now. Posting to comms is tedious and makes me nutty, so I'm taking my time.

Yeah, it took me forever last night--but I had forever.

I have to write copy and blog and get to school by one (library duty), so I'm trying to get it right the first time. (Perkins used to do this for me, when I whined.)

Now tagless for your comfort.
I got so pissed off about this opinion piece that I called the company's management. WTF? I want to drive over to Green Bay and go all Feminist Hulk Smash on them.
5-8" of snow predicted today. We've probably already got an inch on the ground.
