Rumble on the Hilltop

Oh yeah in other news, seems like the shit has hit the fan at Georgetown! The Hilltop was unlucky enough to get hit with 3 things in a row: first the new alcohol policies rolled in. Since no one was getting their alkie fix and understandable getting antsy, then people get pissy that our campus newspaper did not cover the Jena 6 enough and complaining that there was more outrage over the new alcohol policies. The final nail in the proverbial coffin so to speak was to find out that now there is a whole entire hate crime scandal that hit the national media. A homosexual gets beat up for being homosexual at our front gates and it does not break any news for three weeks. Ouch.

Seems like everyone is wound up tighter than kite and is ready just to be bitchy to everyone else and lash out. Also to add to the bitchiness factor, some whiny radical leftists are now claiming the campus hates minorities/gays because we want to focus more on the new alcohol policy protests and people primarily behind that are affluent white males. What the fuck people?

Is shit really that bad on campus? Please somebody tell me I am just reading Hoya editors and staff writers who are PMSing and tying to get their _____ out on the table and that this "controversy" is a media fabrication.

If things are that bad, I am sort of torn about how to react. I wish I was there to agitate riots, throw tear gas back a riot police, and reverse the alcohol policy. But at the same tie I am glad I am away from that shit and don't have to deal with all the bitching and whining on campus.But then I can't try to effect change and help get things righted on campus. Ah the moral quandaries!

Haha. Things do seem bad back at Gtown. But... they're also probably mostly the same, besides for lack of juniors on campus. I wish I could say "Shit" on my blog. Maybe I'll easy my grandparents into it.
