SHOWTIME (Vol. 2)

ULABA Jeopardy

October 23, 2024

I don’t know if it’s the midnight crazies, my exotic personality, or that Texts & Ideas midterm PTSD… but I’d like to ask that you humor me with a riddle…

What’s way more fun than Bates and much cooler than Jamie? What gets tougher than Jorge’s back and meaner than Felipe? That’s right b*tches… it’s our annual ULABA Jeopardy. To get you through this god-awful week, we’re bringing back our devilishly delightful tradition to kickoff the weekend festivities (if you know what I mean). So put that TI-84 down, Elena, the Calc midterm can wait.

This late into the semester, I feel like I shouldn’t even have to say this… but Javi, in all his splendor, forces me to remind you that our meeting is tomorrow from 12:30PM to 1:30PM, at Tisch Hall, UC-25. Leave your stress at home, put on your lucky socks, and grab your nerdy roommate… it’s go-time.

And, obviously, our new Freshman Liaison (“Pledge,” hereafter) will be sure to bring some free food for all of you to enjoy.

In all seriousness… Jorge, please go get an MRI.

Thursday Meeting

Tomorrow, we’ll be playing Jeopardy! If you made it this far into the newsletter, you’re a real one. For that reason, I’ll give you a hint… if only the most relevant happenings in Latin America were compiled into a single email that made its way to my inbox every week! How knowledgeable I’d be! 🤠 

Now, go lock in so you can take a break tomorrow at 12:30PM!

See You Soon!

A fortnight ago, I was visited by the gods in my sleep. They gave me a cryptic message and told me that they’d give me a new one every week as long as I shared them with you all. So, from now on, I’ll be including these Weekly Prophecies at the end of the newsletters… interpret them at your own caution 💌 

This Week’s Prophecy…

Cuando la sombra nocturna cubra al reino, la Reina Rubia saldrá a pasear por el camino de las rosas.

I wonder what it means! Anyways, it was great to speak to myself through the website where I make this for what was definitely too long. If you haven’t laughed yet… here’s my last attempt:

This is Javi acting like he’s smarter than me…

I’ll see you all tomorrow… teiketisi people 💜
