Bad Oral... Presentations

aggienautI. Class
Had the second day of my UN summer school class at UCI today. Everyone has to do a 15 minute oral report on a UN topic. I plan to do the International Court of Justice (and probably work in my earlier rant). Anyway we had the first three today (yes on this the second day). One was pretty good, one mediocre, and one was complete tripe. The terrible one was on Kosovo, the thesis, as quoted in the handout: "...The UN believes multiculturalism is wonderful, even if it takes 42,000 troops to enforce it. Instead of either kicking out the Serbs or the Albanians the UN played both sides and tried to make everybody happy..." the student was basically saying (A) he believed Serbians and Albanians, as christians and muslims respectively, fundamentally cannot be expected to ever live peacefully; and (B) deporting the entirety of one of the populations would be more viable than trying to develope a climate of nonviolence between them.
II. Diedrichs
Driving home from class, as I passed Diedrichs I saw ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
traggedyanne's hair, and I haven't seen her in literally years so I stopped by. Dan and Christie from the other night were also there (this is like 1pm), and of course Danny the security guard. Danny said that yesterday was his day off, but he still came to Diedrichs. (= Then Croat drove by to say hi to us.
Cheri (traggedyanne) wanted me to write about how her friend Phil had a stuffed up nose so they sprayed some pepper-spray on his hand and he held it near his nose... only then he accidentally touched his fact and got a nice red-faced teary-eyed running-nose and generally unpleasant pepper spray experience. Eh.. she told it a lot better.
III. Pictures
Aimee with a halo
That's Central Park in Huntington Beach I believe, and a fritillary butterfly. And
aimeedarling.

Being blatantly drunk is awesome!
Tell her that she looks awesome! and then ask her if she wanted to come back to my place to "blog".
George W. Bush is awesome! (at least you'd get the people talking.)
