The News
I do think everyone should immerse themselves in watching the news or picking up a newspaper more often. I am being hypocrite numero uno though! I will often say that people should be more aware of what is going on, but I've not permitted myself to watch the news or read the news for at least a month now! I have though, for a very short period of time. Enough to know the weather or catch the little stories to make up for air time. Just not enough to make me angry. That is why I avoid the news! I just thought of this because The Minnesota Daily still runs in the summer, once a week on Wednesdays. And what have we today? Wednesday! So I picked up a copy, and here I'm staring at it. I should also be looking for an apartment for fall, so that will be useful. After some CSI tonight, maybe even watch some late night news? I just really don't want to be a hypocrite about these things. Everybody should know what's going on in the world around them, whether they are good things or bad. Just a little reflection I guess...I'm out of tune with current events.

As a Political Science major I'm supposed to know most of the newsy kind of stuff, so when someone brings something up and I have no idea what they're talking about I feel pretty stupid. If only people knew that I spend more time watching E! than CNN. :( Great post, by the way!
