Texas Tech University's newspaper, The Daily Toreador, for which I serve on the editorial board (and write all those game reviews and columns), was just named the third best college newspaper in the state by the Texas Associated Press Managing Editors convention. Considering the extremely tough competition (the south produces some really stellar university papers. Some of the best in the nation), I'm pretty proud of my colleagues and myself for earning the honor.

This sort of thing is also another feather in my cap when shopping for more freelance work :P

Congrats! Meanwhile, I'll just head back to the Call office and teach a few new kids the difference between "there" and "their." :P

They're is They Are.

There is a place. "Peewub is over there."

Their is possessive. "They played their RPGs today."

Nah, nah, you got it all wrong.

"There" is the name of a species of cat.

"Their" is the name of a hardcore metal band from the early 90s.

"They're" is Moon Speak for strawberry sundae.

I don't know what they are teaching you in schools these days but it's obviously wrong.

It's an adviser. Advisor is an extremely disgruntled person who heckles you to graduate in a year.

My old advisor was this psychotic lady who would stand over my shoulder and watch every move I made. She also seemed to think a college student ought to be 100% independent and would jump on you if you used the pronoun "we" in her presence.
I should've looked her in the eye and said, "Yup, I'm an early high school grad who found out he had enough credits to graduate pretty much on the last day of eleventh grade, and who didn't know he was going to be an on-campus college student until yesterday, but I promise, my parents didn't help me schedule my classes at all."
I mean, what's more believable, really?
My new advisor is a younger guy who's a bit less intimidating, but then again, I only met him once to get my concentration papers signed.

I never had an advisor. Are these forced on you, or do you seek them out (and later wish you hadn't)?

My college assigned me an adviser for my English/Philosophy degree, but due to me being in the Honors college I was only forced to see her before my first semester as a Freshman. I think they make seeing an adviser mandatory so students don't really screw up their schedule and then complain to the university when they're unable to graduate on time.

*nerd alert*

Uh, erm, that is not a Kraken. That is a fish man, a Kraken is a giant squid type thing. (didn't you watch Pirates 2?)

Unless that is some movie version that I do not know about, if so, carry on :P
