there are many people at sugar browns this afternoon

The hours at Sugar Browns Coffee house seem to all run together. It could be because we don't really move once we get here. We sit at our tables, eat our apples, and do our homework. I am dangerously close to getting everything I need to done. And perhaps not having homework tomorrow. That would be startling.
We watched Southpark for a really long time last night, and in one of the episodes giant guinea pigs were taking over the planet, and Stan's dad was video taping the whole thing and saying how "startled" he was.
"Wave to the camera, Shellie."

But mostly I have been finishing up some reading on Latin America. Chapter seven of my regional world geography book to be exact. I find it odd that they have 50 pages dedicated to an ENTIRE region of the world. How could we possibly hope to learn anything about the regions history, culture, typography, etc in 50 pages. I don't like that we cram so much in classes, because I feel like we aren't really learning anything. Having one class like this just on the region of latin america would be over-whelming, must less the WHOLE WORLD.
What I think would be better, though less practical, is to teach an separate class for each of the sections of the world and then take regional world geography after you have taken the others. That way you could put all of the regions in a context instead of trying to learn about the regions and then put them in context.
I suppose that is kind of like trying to teach "modern American literature" and other really broad categories. What we really need is for it to be socially acceptable to dedicate more of our lives to education. We need to learn more. Maybe if we took the time we would not have so many problems in the world.
I guess it seems disporpotionate the amount of time we spend learning and then working. I would like to spend more of my life on education and then not have to work as long...
but that is me. I like how little responsibility we have in college. I like not having to be at the same place from 8-5 every day. I like getting to organize student organizations and spending afternoons at sugar browns and evenings in Terri's room writing while she paints and glen programs.
I like not having kids.
I don't blame people for taking two majors, three minors, and wanting to be in college as long as they can. THERE IS SO MUCH TO LEARN!

I don't like guys in girl pants.

I have discovered Vampire Weekend, and they are rather amazing.
