20 February 2000
[I started this on the 15th. My bad. It's a day in the life of T.J., college student extraordinaire.]

The apartment @ Louis Street
Leaving said apartment, normally I shield my eyes from evil sunlight as soon as I open the front door.

Walk down the ugly (uglier) section of Hamilton Street, past the cleverly-named Ta-Ta's Pizza and White Lotus Futon.

Old Queens Gate
Old Queens is the original Rutgers Campus. The school was originally called Queens College when it was founded in 1766. It's definitely the most beautiful part of Rutgers.

Vorhees Mall
Across the street from Old Queens is Vorhees Mall, where all of the academic buildings on the College Avenue campus are. It's a huge, beautiful lawn with paths, the buildings lay along the perimeter.

Scott Hall
My class, Theater Appreciation, was in the lecture hall at Scott, one of the Vorhees buildings.

Murray
Murray Hall is across from Scott, and to the left of the Art History Library. Most of the English and Comparative Lit. classes are in this building.

Silent Willie
From class, it's usually time to head to Targum ... I walk across Vorhees Mall and past Silent Willie, named so because legend has it he whistles at all virgins who pass, but at Rutgers the population is full of sluts.

College Avenue
Make a left out of Vorhees Mall and a right onto College Avenue, where Frats and churches coexist, peacefully?

RSC
The Rutgers Student Center is on the left. The Targum's offices are on the third floor, in an annoyingly small suite that doesn't fit our needs.

Ands:
1. Busy busy TJ. Power Point presentation for Spanish. Read that book for Latin American Woman. Buy the packet from Pequod Copies. Call group members to meet about tomorrow's journalism project. Finish the obit for journalism. Get in touch with U-wire guys about online ads. Avoid Melissa until that's done.
2. Candice and I are getting married after I turn 20. Won't that be so funny? "So, have you had many past relationships?" "Yeah, I was married for three days back in April." She's giving me a ring. Linda would want me to request a pink diamond on a platinum setting from Tiffany's.
3. I've been a serious asshole all week. Lauren thinks I hate her, I've been really annoyed at the Targum office, I was very blase when my mom called yesterday. Hopefully that will change.
4. Linda and I saw "The Big Bang" in the city Friday night. Hysterical two-man show, a parody of the history of the universe. We went to a Thai restaurant with Humberto afterwards, which is a feat if you know my tastes. I like plain, white food.
4. I miss you!
Encantado...
