Frustrating first years

My all nighter on Sunday night went fairly well. I got my econ problem set done and I think I wrote a fairly good Sosc paper. I guess we’ll find out in a week or so.

So, yesterday, we had a House Activities Resource Council (HARC) meeting. Now, HARC meets weekly to examine proposals for house activities, some of which it funds and some of which it doesn’t. The meeting was simply a disaster. It went way too long and I felt extremely frustrated by the new members. One trip proposed transportation and dinner downtown for $13. I felt that we had no reason to fund the trip because $13 is ridiculously cheap for charter bus to drive you downtown and then for you to get dinner too. However, one of the new members felt that we should fund part of the trip because they had put forth the effort, which should be rewarded. Welcome to the real world, lady. Effort doesn’t mean jack.
