relief (sorta)

welp, finally turned in my semester-long research paper for the only class i really care about, Race and Urban Redevelopment. i had the thrilling experience of returning 10 library books (3 of which i will be purchasing/requesting for my birthday), printing out the 24 pages the day before the paper was due, and busting out some really sweet quotes. i started out the paper with this really good one: "Poverty is a reflection of our failure to achieve a more rational, more responsible, more equitable distribution of the abundance that is within our grasp." how great, right? from a congressional hearing in 1964 about LBJ's War on Poverty programs, said by UAW President . (oh, fun fact -- if anyone says those programs didn't work, hit em with this: 22.2% poverty rate in 1960, 11.1 % in 1973.)
i still have another 8 pager, a take home exam, and another 4 pager due -- child's play compared to this 24 page beast. also, i kind of don't care about the others. so sue me.
whew...close to victory, people! Year 1 of MPA almost over --

  1. How many years to go? (P.S. I saw Rob Lowe on Oprah, too, and thought he was hot as well. Creepy. But 47? Really? He's had work done, though he says he just lives well.)
