So here it is. The last issue of The Activist for the autumn quarter. Here is something that we learned from this class: Journalism at 1 a.m. in the morning is not fun. Who would have thought that two people from opposite cultures could get along this well? Since the readers never get to know who the reporters really are, we are writing this to let you readers know what we are really like.One of the things we noticed on this campus during the fall quarter is milk. What is up with people drinking milk all the time? No one ever says, “Hey, let’s get some milk.” Maybe it’s an “in” thing to do. Who knows?
One of our adventures was when the Activist went on-line. We spent so much time in the computer lab, while Amanda lost all her work on the computer twice. After pulling our hair out for three hours, we decided to blow off steam and went to pig out at Friday’s. We had a terrible server. After leaving an “empty tip,” we went to Circuit City for the “RWC hot guy” search. Little did we know that we were going to bump into a two-foot tall munchkin who was half naked checking out the Spice Girls on the television sets. We think that someone forgot to censor the little guy!
Whenever we go out, we can never seem to get anywhere without going in circles. Whether driving or walking, we always walk in circles. During this time, we sometimes lapse into our “seven minutes of silence.” During this time, one of us ends up making fire engine noises and other sounds for giggles. We spill our pet peeves and one of us (Jackie) keeps dropping cigarettes out the window.
Since we have three hours between classes, we decided to go to Kenwood Mall to eat lunch. Of course, we had to gorge ourselves on Haagen Daaz. At the last minute, we decided to go to the movies. The mean old man at the movie place had the nerve to tell us that we couldn’t bring our treats in. So we ended up spending seven extra bucks at a candle store so that we could use the bag to sneak the stuff in.
We do crazy things while we’re here on campus. We tried to start ROTC here, but after a while, our feet hurt, and we gave it up. We tried to find a way to make a living by singing Christmas carols, but that didn’t work out either.
We like to put ourselves through a lot of pain. Once, we decided to wax our eyebrows at Dillard’s. What a mess! When Amanda went in there, the crazy Russian lady said, “You have hairy lip.RIP!” Dios Mio, her whole face almost ripped off. So after this catastrophe, we decided to go to the Estee Lauder counter to remedy the situation. The lady put a plant extract on her face, and soon it looked like she had an oozing face. We went back to school and did some minor “plastic surgery” by the means of a lot of makeup and glitter. We are psychotic.
We can always rely on our mini class videos and Maury Povich talk shows to relax and unwind. Our recommendation for anyone who is under stress is just to use Amanda’s saying, “I can’t take it,” and scream or to use Jackie’s response and say “Crack kills.” We hope that you enjoyed reading The Activist. Have a great Winter Break.
