A message for some gtown folk (S in particular, although she didn't just receive "The Scholar" in the mail so she will have no idea what I'm talking about. Borrow one from someone, although it probably went straight in the trash.)

So the John Carrolls has this newsletter that is full of stupid articles that I'm not reading, but there is one on the back that I noticed as I was tossing it out that begins "Students at Georgetown frequently complain that despite the intellectual caliber of the population here, conversations are often limited to comments about the weather, workloads, and weekend plans..."
Umm, number one, I haven't heard many people complain about that, and number two, my conversations have never been limited to the the 3 Ws. Now, not to make us sound like the biggest SFSers in existence, but I do know that there were many more than one weekend night that (ahem cough cough) and I had long conversations about topics such as trans-state gas pipelines in Central Asia and the implications for foreign policy that these made. And no, 1754, these were not all because I was writing a paper on pipelines (actually I don't think I ever wrote a paper on pipelines. Maybe I did. I dunno.)

So JCS started this new program to bring the lil' JCs together to discuss topics, cause they can't just find people on their own to discuss them with. Well guess what, too bad I guess they all need to start up their own blogs or something and then they can discuss alllll they want (haHA 1754, and S, can't shut me up NOW!) But seriously. If they just don't hang out with dumb people who only discuss the weather and how drunk they are going to get that weekend, then ummm, they won't only be discussing that, so I think it's their fault for that. Strike up a conversation, people!

JC.

I'm so glad that JCs turned into a money-giving machine now instead of a mandatory thing. The end.
