Today's silly seminary email phrase is:
"IF YOU PARKED YOUR VEHICLE IN OUR PARKING LOT, PLEASE PRAYERFULLY CONSIDER MOVING YOUR CAR."

I handed in 3 papers and gave a presentation yesterday- feeling pretty good about all of it, too. One more paper to write next week, but I've already researched it, so it shouldn't be too big of a deal.

In response to the NU hazing scandal, I'd like to say that I am tired of hearing jocks defend hazing. The absolute worst argument for it is that the victims, "had a choice- they could have walked out." Right, so you're a freshman at college and your scholarship is contingent on being a member of the soccer team (so quitting has serious repercussions), who would certainly exclude you for the next four years if you walked out, but you have a choice. Since when do we let students (also scholarship athletes) force other students to make that kind of choice? This is one of the stupidest debates alive. If your team can't pull together and play some soccer (not that the NU team has been anything but mediocre) without hazing the freshmen, hang up your cleats.
