24

Played poker last night with a ten dollar buy-in; lost eight. Today is Issues in Diversity, which is usually interesting, sometimes a train wreck, but always important to talk about. We've sort of been ramping up to this, with some people challenging the preconceived notions of others. Regardless:

9 - 11:30 / Issues in diversity (defining/humanity training/identity)

Humanity training, to me, sounds ominous.

Today's a half day, which means we're out by 11:30. I have plenty of work to do on my prospectus, so I'll probably come back to the down after lunch, take a nap, and then start on the thing. I have about $110 left on my food card here at ASU; I started with $250. That seems about like the right place. IN the beginning, I was burning through the card at a rate of 15 or 20 a day - clearly unsustainable, but as I grew to know the town, I started eating out more and eating in the cafeteria less. I had dinner in the cafeteria last night, and I was sorely disappointed.

The place closes at 7, but they really start shutting down at six. So, by the time I got there at 6:10, Fake Moe's had shut down, Fake Subway had a sign up saying they were out of break, and the 'family dining' place had some weird turkey thing they were selling. There was one slice of cheese pizza left, but the guy ahead of me grabbed it and all that was left was pepperoni. That was probably a good thing because I would have eaten the pizza, and it looked really awful. I had a salad and breadsticks. An hour later, I had Taco Bell.
