A random assortment of my daily activities and ponderings. Maybe it will be boring, maybe it will be mind-blowingly exhiliarting. It is a grand experiment in exploring the brilliance of this thing those crazy kids are calling the "World Wide Web".

Weather.com

Weather.com, I love you but...

...your advertising may need a little work. No no, not YOUR advertising, but the advertising on your page. I just checked you for the temperature (don't ask me why because it is 9:50pm and I'm definitely not going anywhere outside of my room, but it is 58 with light rain) but was greatly distracted by an ad for mortage rates NEAR 40 YEAR LOWS!!! Well, that is grand and all. But why would mortgage rates be advertising with a giant sheep dressed in a tuxedo and bow-tie, with the words "calculate new payment" being sheared into his fur? It just doesn't make sense.

What else is currently advertised on your site? Lamps Plus and Endless Pools (the treadmill for swimmers!). Quality, no really, top notch.

I'm going to stop typing now.

Stellar Service at Student Health, as per usual

Dear Student Health,

I realize that health is probably not your main focus over there at Campus Health Services, but something really concerns me when the pharmacy doesn't spell my name right on my prescription. What's worse is watching the pharmacist copy the prescription from the meds to the receipt and even though my name is RIGHT THERE, she spells it differently on the paper. But, still wrong. Something tells me all of your funding is skipping the pockets of your not-so-finely-trained "doctors" and pharmacists and going right into the malpractice pot.

Sincerely,
Hayleigh/Haley
