Franken

Today Al Franken broadcasted his radio show live from Ithaca College. I was fortunate enough to snag a ticket at the last second (they were free, but I had forgotten all about the event and never went and picked one up). Three hours, but it was generally fun. Variety of guests, from Ithaca mayor Carolyn Peterson to several professors from Cornell and IC. It was a good crowd, most of Emerson Suites was filled. Entertaining. I didn’t get a book signed however. I wanted to buy his newest (The Truth (With Jokes)) but it’s currently only out on hardcover, and I didn’t have the money to swing that.

Tomorrow is my last day of classes. Another semester down, only two more to go. Phew. The end of the year workload is really not that bad, but that won’t stop me from bitching. I need to work on two essays for my Public Essay class, I have two reviews, an essay, and a full-blown article between my Feature Writing and Writing as a Critic classes. A final in Macroeconomics.

Again, not that bad, but I’m also going to be moving out of my sublet this coming weekend (before finals). Speaking of which, I only need to be around on Tuesday and Wednesday next week, so I’ll drive to Ithaca early on Tuesday, then stick around, sleeping in the car, doing my stuff on Wednesday, and then jetting back home.
