Today's me
High levels of agitation today. Mostly brought on by me walking into the science building and finding it nearly WALLPAPERED with freaking ads for the carrer fair. I'm talking 3 fliers with in 5 ft. I took pictures. I may post em later.

The Spamming of Campus
Walking into Black Science today, an overwhelming number of bright green advertisements for the career fair greeted me. Different sizes, some the normal paper size, some twice the width, and other poster size, they all said the same thing as they hung with in five feet of each other; some even closer then that. In one stairwell, there were 3 posters, side by side, with in inches of each other, with another 5 with in sight.
When they mentioned the Green Campus Initiative, I somehow don’t think this is what they had in mind.
Ironically, next to the neon green fliers, were adverts for the Futures in Alternative Energy Conference. While not nearly as numerous, they still were plastered in abundance, as if it was expected that each student would take one off the wall to carry around with him or her. Somehow I doubt that this is the kind of advertisement that the organizer of the event would have wanted, as it’s rather hard to get out an environmentally positive message wasting that much paper.
And while this is one of the most visual and wasteful displays of campus spamming today, it is not the first by a long shot.
At the beginning of the school year, there were lots of flyers up about the new Green Campus Initiative, where the campus was going to become more environmentally friendly by cutting back on waste and upping recycling. All that I can find of this are the large posters in the student center, that are hanging about ten feet from the career office. I guess they just never noticed them...
Earth Resources pissed me off again. We learned how fucked we are by nuclear power and it's waste products and how the goverment is using the radiactive waste in weaponry. We apparently, just by having one class on this, are supose to be able to figure out a solution to this problem.
Next class we're doing a similar project where we're going to write up an energy plan for Vermont that he's going to send to the governer. Cause, ya know, a bunch of students who have had a day of instuction on the topic are going to be able to come up with this oh so great plan and all. He pisses me off so. Freakin. BAD. He's hard to understand and he has trouble understanding everyone else. BLEH.
So, adgitation spike there. To the point where I got up and left to use the bathroom just to get out of there and not have a 'FRAN SMASH!' moment.... At and after lunch I hit a slump of feeling too exausted to do anything, then I went back to the science building to water the plants and got pissed again and wrote up the blurb and took more photos.
