Finding an Internship (in Political Science) is like pulling teeth - it's not fun and takes too much time. That's the boat I'm in - finding a Political Science internship. I've gone through my professors, Google, the American Political Science Association (APSA), UNO Careers, the White House, the House of Representatives, the Senate, etc. GAWD THAT'S A LOT!
Hopefully, I'll find one.
Today is Lundi Gras. Tomorrow is Mardi Gras. Wednesday is Ash Wednesday. Thursday is College Day.
See you tomorrow.

Valentine's Day is A Joke!
Today is February 14th. On my calendar, this means just another regular day. On everyone else's calendar, it's Valentine's Day. Now, I don't hate on things - I just dislike them. Examples are: Paper Cuts, name brand clothing (which I will write a whole blog on name brand clothing), pork, etc. But, I hate Valentine's Day. Was I scarred from a past Valentine's Day, you ask? No. Was I discouraged from Valentine's Day? No. Then why do I hate this day?
Below is my three-pronged attach against St. Valentine and his Valentine's Day.
1) Corporate Holiday: I would have no problem with Valentine's Day if it wasn't so corporate. Companies such as Hallmark, Wal-Mart, even the University of New Orleans and Best Buy are feeling up on Valentine's Day! The cards, the candy, the flowers! Does everything have to be so company-based. I would not care whatsoever is it was just one or two companies at a small rate, but it's become so corporate that I have to deal with commercials from Hallmark while I watch ESPN! I have to hear, "Did you buy your special someone something from us - Wal-Mart?" I reply, "Yes, I bought MYSELF flowers!"
2) What, we only shower our love on our loved ones today?: This is MY biggest problem with Valentine's Day. Of all days to say, "I love you, Maureen" or "I love you, Alex" we have to choose a specific day? What, we can't say "I LOVE YOU" EVERY DAY? EVERY OTHER DAY? EVERY MORNING? EVERY NIGHT? What is wrong with you, people? So, today is the one day I make my girlfriend or wife breakfast in bed? You don't do it every weekend? Surprise her with flowers monthly? Buy her a gift from Zales not just for her birthday or a holiday, but just because you LOVE HER? And women, why do you stand for someone who will just show their true love on Valentine's Day? I'm not just blaming the men or the women - I'M BLAMING BOTH PARTIES!
Love should be showered every day on your loved ones!!
3) Must You Kiss In Public On Campus?: I don't mind kissing. I'd love to kiss a woman. But, come on, kissing in public on campus? Sharing wine with a strawberry while both of your arms are tied into one another? Where does the madness stop? It's not the prettiest thing to see people kissing in public. I don't mind the hand holding. I just see no point in kissing your loved one on campus. It's a travesty. A trava-shama-mockery! Men, stop being son god-awful affectionate on campus, and women, stop forcing the affection!
By tomorrow, everyone will forget about love. Everyone will forget that they love their someone. To them, love is automatically said without words. MY CAMPAIGN TO YOU IS THIS: IF YOU LOVE SOMEONE SO MUCH, THEN SHOWER THEM WITH LOVE DAILY, NOT JUST ONE DAY A YEAR!

Mid-Day Report for 13th of February
It's mid-day in Orleans Parish (Da Big Queasy) and I'm writing this from Computer Center for the College of Business Administration (CBCI) at Kirshmann Hall, computer #47. The sun is shining, the birds are out, the people are wearing skimpy clothes because its 75 degrees (especially women) - this is the New Orleans that I know!
To give you an update on Monday and Tuesday, here's the blog for both days (Tuesday being up to this point, an afternoon blog might or might not be written).
Monday, February 12th, 2007
Monday began well. I got to campus a wee-bit late because of traffic. Shelly was alerady at a table, so I joined her. She had Starbucks Coffee, I had a Sour Green Apple. We talked for a couple of minutes, then we each did our homework, and left it at that. I bidded her adieu and went to my Major American Writers (English Department) class.
Major American Writers went off without a hitch, though I have to analitcally write a paragraph on an Emily Dickinson novel for Wednesday. Then I went to Biology. Gawd, that class is so boring! She is such a slow speaker. What a long hour and fifteen minutes. After her class, I ate my lunch quickly and jumped to the main computer center at the Earl K. Long Library, right in the heart of campus, between all the buildings. I printed up projects and waited until my meeting on the 3rd Floor of the library.
My meeting went well. I then spent 20 minutes editing it and e-mailed it off to the entire board. I took the highway (I-10 Express Westbound to Kenner via Metairie), but instead of keeping on the highway to Kenner, I took an exit right on the border between Metairie and Kenner next to Clearview Mall. I drove down Veterans all the way to Office Depot. I stopped over to Office Depot to pick up some folders, then drove down Power Blvd. home.
At home, I did homework, ate dinner, checked my e-mail, and watched CSI: Miami.

This morning, a tornado hit metro New Orleans near my home on Downman Road in New Orleans East. My alerady hurricane-ravaged, gutted-out home got no tornado damage, though most of Downman Road, the street I used to drive on to get to the University of New Orleans Pre-Hurricane Katrina recieved substantial damage. Some schools were closed due to power outages from the storm.
This morning, I got to school around 7:40 A.M., and I sat down with my date-filled cookies and my Philadelphia Cream Cheese sandwich and ate breakfast. It was rather good. I did homework for Political Science, then went to my Political Science class. It was a tiring class because the weather is hot and the topic of Politics and Stats in war isn't a good topic to begin the morning on.
After that, I had an early lunch and find myself here, typing this. I really should finish this soon because I have a class downstairs for Economics, then I'm going to Math.
Hopefully, if I don't forget or get tired, I'll write an afternoon blog. But, for now, I leave you with these words:

Reset! February 1st-February 8th, 2007
"Where's the reset button?"
"Reset button? What do you speak of?"
"Resetting the blog."
"We don't have one."
"But, um, I haven't posted in a week."
"OHH . . . that reset button. Why didn't you say that before?"
RESET! Due to a KILLER flu that left me unable to function for a while but kept me alive, I couldn't post anything. My body was killing me. But, I'm back now. Because my last blog was January 31st, 2007, this blog will be the RESET! that will give you an update on my life from February 1st, 2007 to, well, today, February 8th, 2007.
"What's that?"
"The reset button."
"It says to not touch."
"Oh, well, I never listen to it. Go ahead and touch."

The day began well. My mathematics test, which was scheduled today, was postponed until February 8th. My mom came from Virginia on ATA and Southwest. Her plane left Washington-Ronald Reagan National Airport, Arlington, Virginia (DCA) at 2:00 P.M. EST on ATA Airlines and went to Chicago-Midway International Airport, Chicago, Illinois (MDW) and landed at 6:30 P.M. CST at Louis Armstrong-New Orleans International Airport, Kenner, Louisiana (MSY).
