Sleep junkie

The alarm begins its discordant wake-up call. Snooze. I realize that I have a paper to finish. Snooze. It needs to be done before I go to class at noon. Snooze. I have already gotten eight hours of sleep. Snooze. 10 a.m. seems like a perfectly reasonable time to get out of bed.

What senior life means to me

Seniors typically write their final pieces about what it means to be graduating, what they’re most going to remember about college, how they’ve changed, what it feels like to be entering the real world, how they’ve learned from their friends and what they feel like using their $150,000 brains for after getting their diplomas.

Dbo: The past is almost done. But thank you for making it so damn much fun. Pumpkin: Romancing Romeos and filling out countless invoices kept our head above water all semester. This page wouldn’t exist without your efforts, thank you. Sunshine: I’d wish you luck next semester, but I think I’ll save it for after when I’ve given you a letter home.

Oedipus wrecks drama stereotypes

If there are two concepts that get more bad press than “Greek melodrama” and “minimalist theater,” I don’t know what they are. Visions of overwraught harpies shrieking as they flounce around a bare stage to the strains of cheesy synth music are enough to make even the strong shudder.

Goya’s still got it

The exhibition, Goya: Images of Women, is an outstanding show at once witty, sensual and highly thoughtful. Displayed first in Spain, the exhibition comes to the National Gallery from Madrid’s premier art museum, El Prado.

Look for the union label: Georgetown’s wage gap

by Jennifer Ernst and Ryan Michaels

They work more or less the same job. They work in more or less the same place, separated only by Red Square. And their qualifications certainly don’t seem too different. But Luis, a gentle, courteous native of Mexico City, is earning $4 less per hour than Marta, who has been working in housekeeping and custodial services since she arrived in the United States from Nicaragua 13 years ago.

Voices carry on 14th

This week, grab that $1.10 and take the G2 Metrobus down to 14th Street. Strong and exciting women’s performance nights are just springing up all over the place there, and I suggest you catch them while they last. The first of the two, Mothertongue, is a women’s spoken word night.
