A fellow graduate’s blog informed me of a Kent State protest a few months ago about … the weather. It was too cold to go to class. Time to protest!

I actually attempted to start a blog around the new year, but haven't kept it up yet (random encouragements to actually post might help me get started). But! We are starting the Stater blogs, and we're going live Monday.

It reminds me of the whole facebook newsfeed "movement." It's kind of ridiculous what trivial things can stir up the masses so quickly while other atrocities barely raise an eyebrow. Rachel — Maybe I should submit this as a letter to the editor. lol. I see the <a href="http://media.www.stateronline.com/media/storage/paper867/news/2007/02/07/Opinion/Too-Cold.Then.Dont.Go-2701889.shtml?sourcedomain=www.stateronline.com&MIIHost=media.collegepublisher.com" rel="nofollow">editorial board</a> weighed in. The comments on it were interesting, if not immature. Bill — your content is probably way better than mine, so I wouldn't worry too much about the looks. And I agree all the JMC students should keep blogs... if only so I can keep better track of what's going on now that I'm not there. (Rachel, that means you.) It is a good practice in writing for an audience and almost forces you to read other blogs and articles to keep up with what's being discussed. Jessica — I agree.

I show up for work when it snows and when it's cold. Once students transition to the real world, they'll do the same or they won't have jobs. So consider this a training ground, albeit a chilly one! For those who complained about the 600 or so NEOhio school districts that closed for two days, keep in mind that they're dealing with children as young as age 5. We don't have students that young KSU, but judging from the whining I heard these past two days, you wouldn't know it. Nice job with the blog. I wish more students would give it a try. And I wish mine looked this good! Bravo, Meranda! I show up for work when it snows and when it’s cold. Once students transition to the real world, they’ll do the same or they won’t have jobs.

I sure wish students would put fourth this kind of effort and passion towards something useful. I’m still trying to figure out the point of this one.
