Thoughts, opinions and fascinating discoveries by Elliot, a student at USC
Great stuff.
PRESIDENTIAL STUFF
==================The United States is having a presidential election involving a number of confusing things such as issues, platforms, and electoral votes. As a member of the DNRC, you know that this is an elaborate scheme concocted by the Founding Fathers to protect voters from the embarrassing realization that they always elect the candidate with the best hair.
Not to be arrogant or anything, but if I die in some kind of accident, I can’t help but wonder…

Here are some things I’ve done, just to keep track of things.
I’m still waiting for the online application. “The 2005-2006 Resident Honors Program Application will be available late August.” It is now Sept. 8
