*Crying will not get you far with the Ann Arbor Parking Supervisor Man. It will, however, be a great help when on the phone with a AAA dispatcher named Janice.

*Is there a reason why ALL of the characters on the kid’s TV shows I watched while babysitting speak with a British accent?  I can’t imagine trying to relate to Doug, Patty Mayonnaise, Tommy Pickles, etc.  when I was younger if they started busting out British slang. 

*Reading the feedback I received from my English class about the essay I wrote is one of the most entertaining and humbling things I’ve done in a long time. In my essay, I make a comparison which involves a hypothetical pedophile, and, without realizing it, I use the pronoun “he”, completely ignoring the fact there are a number of female pedophiles in the world as well.  Refreshingly enough, nearly all of my classmates corrected me on that one (n.b. obviously, I know there are both male and female pedophiles; my essay had no intentions of implying that they are only men.)

One of my favorite comments from a classmate said, “This is your moment to have your Romantic Comedy. Hebrew fairy tale narration. Walk us through it. It’s one of my guilty pleasures getting to read shit like that.”  Classic. 

*I think almost every girl I know has already seen or is going to see the movie He’s Just Not That Into You this weekend.  While I thought parts of the book were funny, the preview for this film just does not  look good.  With such a stacked cast, it’d be silly not to have high expectations for it, but the only thing I can tell from the preview is that it has absolutely no plot.  As of now, I’m resisting any urge to go see it, but we’ll see if I succumb to temptation by Sunday night. 

*I’m starting to get really nervous about graduating.  Because of this, I find myself every few days frantically searching on job posting websites and craigslist and don’t stop until I apply to at least three jobs. I’m still not even completely sure what I want to do when I graduate, but at least I eliminate some stress in submitting my resume and cover letter to a few places.

Have a good rest of the weekend!
