Why poli?

So I'm sitting in International Politics and wondering when I will ever use this in life? With my luck, I'll end up in a job where economic growth in a third world country actually matters. Until then, I'd like to stay as far away from the word economics or economy as long as I can.

I spent the weekend in Davidson with my friend Elizabeth. During which time I played pokemon (Got the yellow forest!!), watched the new Doctor Who, and went to see Jersey Boys. While Jersey Boys wasn't my favorite musical ever, it was an interesting insight to what it might have been like for my father and grandparents growing up in New Jersey. The highlight of the show was when an actor was talking quietly on stage and Elizabeth made a huge crashing sound with her chair that the entire theatre turned to look at.

I have an interview with the Student Government today for two different cabinet positions. I'm sure I can only get one or the other if I get one at all. The positions I'm interviewing for are the Global University Committee Co-Chair and First Generation Students Co-Chair. Should be fun, wish me luck!
