polysci

Perhaps this class in blog form will be less invasive to those on facebook who don't care about it. Which is mostly everyone I think. After reaffirming a few times that the midterm will be "around the middle of the term," I was a bit surprised to realize that, the middle of the term has arrived.

The first gem of the night, a little dull and lackluster: When you say to write the essay so your mother could understand it, does that effect the language you use?

Number two: To professor: "Will you be using a specific rubric we can take a look at?"
Answer: "I don't know what that means."

Nixon was a white supremacist apparently. He felt that black people were inferior, but he established programs in order to make them better- Affirmative action

He just told a story about an old man who saw that he had a political scientist badge on once. and the old man said, are you a political scientist? Prof:  yes. OM: Is the social security act constitutional? Prof: yeah. OM whips out pocket sized constitution: where does it say that?

Was this old man just carrying around a constitution waiting to bump into a political scientist?


im losing focus...this was a bit of a fail
