The Archaeology/Classics club table at the student activities fair was actually fairly successful aujourd'hui. Last semester, we only had two "interested" people to sign up on our sheet, one our own construction designed to give attendees the false sense that people were actually interested in us. Today, we actually gained one-and-a-half sheets of notebook paper's worth of email addresses. And I didn't fake anything.
This leads me to the general topic of attracting interest and the role of free candy in getting attention. First, can I just say to all you prospective club-joiners to please please please not just cruise by the table and steal a piece of candy. Giving me a sheepish look won't help. I would much prefer it if you feigned interest for ten seconds and wrote down your roommate's email address. It doesn't help, I suppose, that I enjoy building temples, pyramids, and ring forts out of Reese's cups and York Peppermint Patties and my heart subsequently cracks a bit each time you uninterested IR and/or Quantitative Economics (with a minor in Peace and Justice studies) potential majors clip my capstone.*
It'd be one thing if you were a Gaul, stealing temple stones to build a "road" and subsequently dropping them on the heads of Legionary officers or if you were actually going to show up to our general interest meeting. However, you are not.
The moral of the story: don't steal candy--it's rude and your mother would be ashamed.
And that's actually all I have to say.
*I probably should never become a cake artist, because I'd probably get pissed if someone ate my chocolate-raspberry beret/lemon torpedo.
