New Blog! Finishline: Monday Must See TV

Nicole Fitch

05/10/04– Last night the Survivor All-Stars chose their All-Star. Apparently it was exhilirating, emotional, and shocking. For those of you who watched it anyway. I saw about ten minutes of this disgrace to humanity (in the way that millions of American’s watch it regularly) and I really don’t see what all the fuss is about. I’d rather be studying economics. In fact, there are really only 2 reasons why I have a TV anyway: First, King’s games. Secondly, cable internet is cheaper with cable TV than without. 05/07/04– I was telling a friend of mine the other day how there are things about college that have been a part of my life for so long, that graduating feels like someone is taking away my teddy bear. I’ll need to find a new comfort zone. Although, I have been trying to think of ways to make my way to the third floor of the library every once in a while even after I’m no longer a student here, but I think it might be difficult and/or a little shady. 05/05/04– I got to thinking about my last entry, and I think I was perhaps a little too quick to judge people our age getting married. While I still think it is a bad idea, my real beef is actually not with these people. My problem is with the way marriage and relationships are treated. As soon as I talk to someone I haven’t spoken with in a long time, namely grandparents and aunt-types, they have to know if I have a boyfriend/wedding plans/children. I know what you’re thinking: anyone who knows me knows darn well that I would not have kids. But, as we all soon learn, people who do not stick to their guns expect others to be wish-washy as well. (For the record, I hate the term wishy-washy, but it seemed to fit here) At any rate, I don’t see why this is everyone’s business, why it matters, or why everyone assumes that because I am about to be a college graduate that I must also be within inches of becoming a happy little housewife and barefoot and pregnant. I don’t hardly think so.
