1. I got a copy of Arsenic and Old Lace by Joseph Kesselring because I was in Landmark College's production as Abby Brewster. Just gotta love old ladies doing charitable acts. But can someone who knows more science than me help me figure out what would really happen if you mixed arsenic, cyanide, and strychnine in elderberry wine?

2. My Freshman Year: What a Professor Learned by Becoming a Student by Rebekah Nathan
This was in the library discards at the school book sale. She may have been at a large, public university and writing about freshman class of 2003, but some of it is still relevant to, say, my small, private college class. For example, analyzing the messages really under dorm room door decorations of trying to portray fun, spontaneity (and no family photos) still stands. One of my friends was interested in the book, so I'm letting her borrow it before I ask all my teachers if they want to borrow it. (And maybe her remarks about why people don't speak out in class (it's a conformity thing) might ease some of my teachers' frustrations.)
