I am 22. On Oct. 14, 2000, I turned 21 and became able to legally drink in the United States. On Wednesday, Oct. 18, 2000, I experienced my first ‘80s night at the Tombs. Wednesdays are now one of my favorite things in the whole wide world.

On Saturday night, while most Georgetown students were gearing up for yet another night of over-crowded, dimly-lit parties that could only end in beer stains and hangovers, they were missing a truly unique performance in the ICC Auditorium. ArthArts, a theater troupe dedicated to bringing South Asian and South Asian-American experiences to the stage, put on an enjoyable show called Shades of Brown.

Seeing as The Sermon has undergone a changing of the guard, we feel that it is only fair to lay out our new allegiances.
First and foremost, we hate the Yankees. Their attempt to steal Jason Giambi from an exciting, young and improving A’s squad is nauseating.

Unlike many of my peers, I am not a member of the Catholic Church. Also unlike many of my peers, Georgetown’s Catholic identity had no bearing on my decision to study here?I came to Georgetown because I wanted to pursue a degree in American Studies in the nation’s capital, and Georgetown provided the opportunity for me to do so.
