Things I've Learned This Week:

~ Plato's three-realms of reality theory

~ technology tends to do anything other than make life easier

~ I hate BS-ing, but I'm good at it

~ Putin will not let go of Russia, and Russians are OK with that

~ how to dish it back out and make it count without being profane or crude

~ that you can play catch with a tennis ball for two hours, and it never gets old

~ I'm pretty bad at writing reviews and sports pieces

~ I'm pretty good with news and opinion pieces

~ if you're going to run old news, you have to put a local spin on it

~ that my math professor will find a different way to solve every single problem, no matter what

~ the Daily Show is hilarious!

~ the thing I miss most in Rochester is the coffeehouses

~ the secret to success is initiative; they assign you one article, and you write two. Eventually, someone fails to turn in a an article and the editor is flipping because he has empty space to fill. It makes you look really, really good when you have one ready to go, and they remember it.
