Heading into (what I can only hope is) my last semester of grad school, I’m loving that back-to-the-classroom feeling. But since I’m all set for notebooks and pens, I thought I’d get in the spirit by:
- Stimulating the economy. Did you know students get a 15 percent discount at J.Crew? Teachers, too. Just have your ID handy. In celebration of this discovery, Lisa and I bought half the fall line. If only we were the same size…
- Helping spread democracy. The upcoming election is arguably one of the most important in our nation’s history, and I am having a great time volunteering for Senator Obama. (BTW, if you’re a fan, check out these amazing photos.) One of my assignments is voter registration — very rewarding and a great way to meet cute neighbors. Regardless of who you plan to support, please vote! Click here to get voter information for Virginia, here to get voter information for Maryland and here to get voter information for the District of Columbia.
- Catching up on my reading. I have two new loves: Vanity Fair, and Stuff White People Like. I like them for different, yet complimentary, reasons: the former is timely and provacative, while the latter is tongue-in-cheek awesome. After all, you are what you read!
- Making new friends, and keeping the old. If you are not on Facebook yet, you have to join today. I know, I know: one more thing to update, and one more way people can get information about you on the Internet. But it is seriously the best thing around. Just try it — if I can master it, you certainly can, too!
