Beautiful Charlottesville

Today was one of those days that UVA should package and send out to all of their prospective students. By the time I wandered into class today (10 am classes are quite awesome), it was in the mid-sixties.

Now, some of you (those from the Southwest and California) are probably wondering what the big deal is. Well, in most parts of the country, February is a time where we freeze and our extremities attempt to burrow inside our bodies. The fact that I got to wear shorts comfortably today was an amazing thing.

Days like these don't show up often in New York or Boston, so for those of you looking at those metropolises for jobs, well...maybe consider the weather and head a little further South.

UVA is more fun anyway.

Course Evaluations

One of the great things about UVA is that you can see all of the teachers evaluations. Glancing through, I came upon this gem:

That's right boys and girls, UVA students read Penny Arcade too. Plus, they've apparently read Dante's inferno and subscribe to Nietzsche's school of thought that which does not kill you makes you smarter.
