Hi. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who made my birthday so special today -- my birthday was on Wednesday the 23rd -- and also I would like to say a shout out to the girls in Amigos who gave us their table and so graciously walked into the restaurant, saw that we'd been waiting and then told us that we could have their table because we'd been waiting patiently and they just didn't want random people who'd just walked up to sit down there, since we'd been waiting for a while. To me, the true colors of U.Va. shined through tonight, and I just wanted to say thank you because my mind was on other things, but when that happened I remembered how proud I am to be a Wahoo. Wahoowa!

If you feel it necessary to take a smoking break right before class, please start carrying some cologne or Febreeze or something, because whoever ends up sitting next to you in class shouldn't have to spend the whole time choking on your leftover fumes.

So I was in class today and people started clapping for the worst professor I've had in my college career.I couldn't believe that they clapped for this man.H e was awful. So I just got up and left the room. I can understand clapping when professors are good because they deserve it, but when they're bad why clap -- it makes it seem obligatory rather than laudatory.

All University students are required to live on Grounds in their first year, but they have many on and off-Grounds housing options going into their second year. Students face immense pressure to decide on housing as soon as possible, and this high demand has strained the capacities of both on and off-Grounds accommodations. Lauren Seeliger and Brandon Kile, two third-year Cavalier Daily News writers, discuss the impact of the student housing frenzy on both University students and the Charlottesville community.
