   I spent six hours at a Senate meeting on Thursday. Then I wanted to die. I'm glad I only ever came within 24% of enough votes to become a Senator. Moreover, I'm glad choice voting wasn't in place at the time, otherwise I surely would have been subjected to 6+ hour Senate meetings for an entire year.

   Today (Friday) I went down to the barber in the basement of the MU to get a haircut. When I got down there the guy in the chair was in the middle of saying "have you ever heard of daviswiki.org?" Turns out the individual was JasonAller.
   After that I felt like having a hot dog, so I headed over to the Hot Dogger. There I got the "gut bomb," which turned out to be heaping with cheese and beans and peppers and things, and I found to be quite satisfying. I made the mistake of trying to eat it like a normal hot dog at first rather than with knife and fork, but it turned out to be far too messy.
   And then I met some local punkish youths who informed me that apparently the Hot Dogger is the place to hang out.

   Tomorrow and the next day I will spend nearly all my time at the Model UN conference we are hosting here this weekend.

In Other News: To prove that the Cal Aggie was continually overprinting, local Orwellian Brent Laabs set about collecting the left-over day old aggies at the end of the day. The Aggie retaliated by sending him to Student Judicial Affairs on theft charges. After due consideration, SJA made him sign a contract... to continue the research project.

John Salido of University Haircutters, back when he originally mohawked me.

   Year Ago Yesterday: Experimenting With Alcohol - Roommate Jill actually drinks. Is subsequently studied. Azver valiantly volunteers himself to study Jill further.
   Year Ago Today: Aaron Davis Arrives in Town, Eats Sandwich - and there was much rejoicing.

Yesterday
   Yesterday (Monday) was the third day of school for most students here at the U of C at Davis. For me it was my last day of break. I went and got that remainder check at Durden Hall that financial aid had finally admitted they had for me. A whopping $107.13. I'm rich now, let me tell ya.

   And I got my haircut in the barbershop in the MU basement. At first I thought the man hated me because I have a mohawk, but then he started talking about how he used to have some regular customers he'd give crazy spikes to, and ended up giving me a lot of advise on it.

Today
   Today was my first day of class this quarter. I only have classes Tuesdays and Thursdays, but its six hours straight. I think its gonna be alright though.
   From 10:30-11:50 I have VEN3 (Introduction to Viticulture (winemaking)). I think Kristy would describe the teacher as a bignerd but its not in a bad way... some highlights from today were learning about such grapevine diseases as "powdery mildew," and "botrytis bunchrot" (that last one sounds like a name from Harry Potter or something.. but then again I haven't read that)...
   Then from 12:10 to 13:30 I had ECN162 ("International Economics"). The professor struck me as terrible. I'm definitely going to be getting the textbook for THAT class. genuinesarcasm is in the class with me and my class thereafter...
   HIS138C (History of the Soviet Union). He did the thing where he asked us to write our name, major, and exposure to russia on a piece of paper. So I'm like "I know pavel!" (pavelthegeek), but then Pavel is like, "no, I won't expose myself to you!" Anyway, as luck would have it, Pavel, being the crazy Russian that is, was auditing that class and the next one...
   HIS138A ("Russian Empire up to 1881"). Got a feeling the tests are gonna be really hard.. the teacher seems to have this "bite me" kinda attitude. We also had a class discussion about what "flax" is because no one, including the teacher, was really sure.
