WSU opts for wine hangovers

Since becoming a Husky, I've found it increasingly difficult to like anything related to WSU. I can't even drink Busch anymore.

However, I've found a diamond in the rough. WSU now offers a viticulture and enology program: wine making.

According to the Tri-City Herald, German-native Thomas Henick-Kling will be director of the program, which has locations in Richland, Prosser and Pullman. Henick-Kling spent 20 years at Cornell University in New York, where he helped develop the enology and viticulture program.

Fortunately, WSU's program isn't just limited to a undergraduate and graduate degrees. The 2-year certificate programs in Viticulture and Enology are continuing education programs offered through WSU Extension. Online courses are available as well.

Almost finished with my first 15-page paper on the history of copyright law for my communications master's program, I've never been so tempted to transfer...

Antisocial weekend

in

Should that be the new band name? Probably. It's catchy, eh?

No, "antisocial weekend" is actually this weekend's theme. Here's why:

  • I'm trying to close the house(!).
  • I have two separate 15-page research papers due in two weeks and I'm going to try and hack out all 30 pages this weekend so that I have a more social Valentine's weekend.
  • I really want to go skiing but don't have time and should basically write-off all that money I gave Crystal Mountain for that season's pass.
  • To the last two bullets, this quarter of school is torture and grad school is socially the exact opposite of undergrad.
  • I've had some long work days this week in preparation for GSMA Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in two weeks (No, I'm not traveling for that one. Boo.)

So, I have some exciting things (the house!) and some unexciting things (research papers) happening, but they're all equating to an antisocial weekend.
