...have to admit that when the dot-com craze began, I too fit the mold: skeptical, skeptical, skeptical. Navigating Netscape is one thing, but programming techniques like C++ and Java make my skin crawl, much to the amusement of friends TF'ing CS50 who speak and think the language of code in the bowels of the Science Center. Steve Martin, in Father of the Bride, had my original attitude pegged exactly when he described his future son-in-law's job as an independent computer consultant: He said it was "code for 'unemployed.'" It just didn't seem possible that...
...worth of classes in my time here, I feel qualified to say that this decision has needlessly weakened the department and the school at large. Ms. Richardson is a phenomenal instructor, but more importantly, a woman who personifies the type and character of teacher this University needs.

You may drop your jaw in shock because you never thought a Folk and Myth student actually existed, but it's all right--I'm used to such a traumatic reaction. I've used the same spiel for years: "Yes, I concentrate in the overlooked and under-appreciated field of Folklore and Mythology. Yes, it is interesting. No, I do not know what I'm going to do with a degree in Folklore and Mythology...
Then again, little league is exactly just what I think of when considering Cornell. Maybe I just set my standards too high when expecting real creativity from the Big Red idiots--who did the school bribe to admit it into the Ivy League anyway? Just stick to "Sieve...
