One Month Later

Fall quarter at Eastern Washington University is a month in, and I have noticed a few things.

- People seem to take academia much more seriously than at SFCC. This may be due to the fact that I am in a degree program, now, rather than simply accumulating credits. 200- and 300-level classes require a bit more attention than "Introduction to Basic Economics."

- I have been told that the student ratio is 2:1 in favor of women to men. I have not seen this. Again, it may be my degree program. Being a math major, the population is heavily skewed the other direction. I feel deceived.

However, among the women I have met:

- I have noticed a disproportionate number of cute redheads. It seems that every other woman I see on campus falls into the "cute redhead" category.

- Add to that the propensity for so many of these women to be very close to executing the "naughty librarian" look with incredible expertise, and I am simply at a loss.

The last two make me realize I need a plan. I need to formulate a plan, work the plan to perfection, (there are probably several steps I'm missing, here), reap the rewards.
