Snowstorm makes up for Girl Talk disappointment

By Justin | December 8, 2008

I was pretty underwhelmed by our much-hyped Girl Talk show on Saturday night. There were definitely some upsides to the performance, which I’ll get to in a moment. But the show itself wasn’t that great. First, it started about 40 minutes late, and there was no opening act, not even a student DJ to keep [...]

A beautiful sunset over Foss Hill

By Justin | December 2, 2008

I walked out of Usdan after an interview for the Argus and did a double-take as I caught the beautiful orange and pink of the sky. The tug of everything that’s due either tomorrow or Thursday led me to consider going home, but I found my time much better spent sitting on a bench on the Usdan [...]

Not-quite-mental note on dining points

By Justin | November 15, 2008

I have $356.87 left in dining points. I’ll be on campus for, at most, 28 days before the semester ends. That leaves me with $12.75 to spend daily, with a cushion of Middletown Cash, should I end up needing it. I think I can handle that. Anyway, don’t mind me. It’s a mostly-productive Friday night [...]

Finally, the Roving Reporter finds me!

By Justin | November 13, 2008

I’ve always wondered where the Roving Reporter for the Argus finds the people that end up on that page in the paper. And how do they always come up with such funny things to say when prompted? A part of me even wondered if it was all some elaborate hoax, perpetrated on the Wesleyan student [...]

An updated, and relatively final, résumé

By Justin | November 13, 2008

Last week, I took my résumé back to the CRC for approval, and had it edited by the brusque—but helpful—Jim. After some formatting changes and the (rather disappointing) removal of my entire high school record of achievement, I figure that my résumé [PDF, 56 KB] is as done as it’ll ever be. The version linked above is [...]

Burned by The Man

By Justin | November 9, 2008

 I arrived back from class on Wednesday afternoon to find a sickly yellow piece of paper on my unmade bed. It was a lovely notice from Campus Fire Safety, which had conducted an inspection of my house while I was in class. The pus-colored sheet informed me that Fire Safety inspectors had found something illegal [...]

A near-final draft of my résumé

By Justin | November 3, 2008

It’s just about done! My résumé [PDF, 68 KB], that is. After having it (rightfully) ripped apart by the very intelligent Amy at the Career Resource Center (CRC), I have improved and revised the document. While I think it’s about as perfect as it’s going to get—aesthetically and in terms of language—I am always open to [...]
