Cheers & Sneers at The Earlham Word

Cheers & Sneers

CHEERS to:

Waking up in the chimney and exiting out of the fireplace in Saga during brunch on Saturday. True Story.
To everyone who has voted for Lukas and Madi to get the ultimate job in Ireland (and probably the world).
The guy who woke up in the Saga chimney and emerged during brunch. That was amazing.
Anna McCormally, for highlighting problems with a seemingly inconsequential article and engaging people with a convincing argument.
Presenters at the Annual Research Conference on a job well done!
Co-op Hall and its inhabitants.
People sending opinions to the Word.
That nice girl with glasses who has had to endure a pile of misinformation. You are still getting honors and Phi Beta Kappa. Don’t let them deceive you.
Ex-love interests who are cordial and help you when you’re in need.

SNEERS to:

The senior gift involving a bench. Seriously, how fast will that get vandalized?
Whoever stole my umbrella from Lilly in the middle of a thunderstorm. Hope you stayed dry, ‘cause I sure didn’t.
Principles and Practices … While they sound great, who on campus actually follows through with these things, including those that care about them?
People re-inscribing oppression while acting like they decry it.
Contagious stress.
The people who litter on campus with beer cans and bottles on prospie days.
People who don’t clean up after themselves in the ceramics studio.
People who speak just to hear their own voice, especially in HDSR classes.
