Desk Diagram


This diagram is very unique, I never would of thought of drawing what I am looking at right now. The top of my desk, very original. I think the best thing about this diagram is the point it makes...there is a whole lot of graffiti on the desks in Old Main. The desks are covered in things to read. From every swear word in the book, to all the sororities and fraternities that have ever been here at Wesleyan, there are on a desk. But I have to admit the desks with the interesting drawings are the most entertaining. If you ever get bored one day in class just look done at your desk. Time sure does fly when you are trying to figure out what that squiggly thing in the top right corner of your desk is. Then the next class you can pick a new desk and start all over again. Another interesting thing about this diagram is the pencils. There isn't just one, no no this person needs two. A back up pencil, you know just in case. Because only bringing one to class could turn out horrible. What if your first pencil broke and God forbid you would have to get up out of your graffiti desk and sharpen it? Or even worse, what if you just happened to drop your pencil and at the perfect time someone behind you gets up and steps on it? This is why a back up pencil, or auxiliary pencil as labeled in the diagram. But I think the most interesting thing about this diagram is what isn't labeled. The square thingy at the top right corner of the picture. Is it tape with a doodle on it? Is it just more graffiti on the desk? No one knows because the line drawer person did not draw a line to it. We just may never know.

Desert Island Tunes


If I were stranded on a desert island and could only pick five c.d.s to live on for the rest of my life I would chose the following:


I chose all of these albums for a couple different reasons. I like variety in my life so if I am going to be stuck on an island I am gonna need to switch it up quite a bit so I tried to choose an array of types of music. 

First off I chose the Plain White T's, well of course because I love them. They are my favorite band so why wouldn't I choose them?  I chose their album Stop, their first album, because I like it the most. And also because it has my two favorite songs ever on it, Shine and A Lonely September.  If I was stuck on a desert island I just know that the Plain White T's would help me through my lonely times. 

Next I chose Holiday Parade, because well I love them too. I love their upbeat songs and the way they just make me want to jam out. When stranded on a desert island and all I really have is a boombox and five c.d.s I have a lot of time to jam out. So that is why I would bring this c.d. because in those boring long days of being in the sun I can put this on and just relax.

My next chose is Green Day. I use to be the biggest, hugest Green Day fan but it has faded. But I do still like them and since I am limited to five c.d.s I figured I would choose their greatest hits album. It was a hard choice on this one between the one I chose and Dookie, because I just love them both so much. But I am glad I chose this one for then I can get a little bit of every album, well except their latest but this one will do.

I know I know what you are thinking about my last choice. RENT, honestly? I love the movie RENT, the music, the cast, everything about it. I could listen to this c.d. for hours, days, months, years on end. Which is what I probably would end up doing on a deserted island. There really isn't much to say about this album except it makes me happy and I just absolutely love it!

Last, and most certainly not least, is The Beatles. Now who wouldn't pick The Beatles? Not only are they the greatest band ever on the face of this planet, but they have good music. But really, it's The Beatles, I don't really need to say much here.
