March 11, 2002
The back of my neck is burning. My ears are perking up. I feel a hole being bored into my skull and whirl around to a swarm of eyes quickly averting my gaze.

March 6, 2002
I voted Progressive. I hope everyone voted. I know some at UVM probably saw Tuesday as the perfect excuse to enjoy a longer weekend. I did too, but I still hope everyone voted. It is important. A simple paper ballot given out once or twice a year, however, is not the difference between democracy...

Ok, spring is nearly upon us, winter's legitimate reason for petering out.
