It was my first weekend in Paris, and I was nervously pacing around my tiny chambre de bonne, trying to gather up some courage. It was hard to actually pace, considering the miniscule floor space, but I tried. Living in a former maid's quarters isn't exactly luxurious, even if it is in a place as beautiful as Paris.
Sarah Silverman is unique. Just compare her to mainstream's latest darling comedian Dane Cook, for example. Though Dane Cook recently starred in "Employee of the Month" (2006) alongside two other renowned thespians, Dax Shepard and Jessica Simpson, he really is not a very good actor.
Anyone hoping to see junior Nichole Sobecki at some point in the next four months had better do it quickly.

It's the second day of second semester and I'm sitting in my first comparative religion class at Tufts, hoping to be enlightened.
The Colts' Sunday night Super Bowl victory marked the end of a memorable 2006 NFL season. A look at the ten best (with an obvious infusion of New York bias):
On Jan. 9, while Cooperstown trumpeted the inductions of Cal Ripken, Jr. and Tony Gwynn into baseball's Hall of Fame, Mark McGwire's candidacy was ignominiously dismissed by over three-quarters of the voters. Baseball pundits more knowledgeable than I are writing that after his first year of eligibility, Big Mac is so far short of the 75 percent "yea" votes required for entry that it's unlikely that he'll ever be elected on future ballots.
For the seniors of the men's track and field team, Saturday's third-place finish at the Jumbo Stampede was bittersweet. The team accumulated 90 points, finishing behind Williams (144) and Stonehill (96.5), but for the seniors, it also marked the final home meet of their indoor careers.
The men's squash team made a splash in its first match of the inaugural NESCAC Tournament at Trinity, cruising to a 9-0 win over Wesleyan on Friday evening. That optimism faded quickly, however, as Bates, the No. 3 seed in the tournament, thrashed the No. 6 Jumbos 8-1 in Saturday's quarterfinal round, setting up a 5-4 consolation round victory over Hamilton on Saturday and a 5-4 loss to Bowdoin on Sunday.

Long before I was a student here, I knew that the Jonathan M. Tisch College of Citizenship and Public Service and the Institute for Global Leadership were two prevalent institutions on the Tufts University campus. The success of these institutions, along with the popularity of the international relations and peace and justice studies majors, convinced me that Tufts played a role in the world of activism. In fact, it was Tufts' reputation for fostering social and political activism that motivated me to apply.
It was another disappointing weekend for the hockey team as it dropped back-to-back conference games, dashing any hope of an appearance in the NESCAC tournament.
If you are a musician who has suffered a break up, depression, death in the family or other similar misfortunes, you very well may be weeping at the core of your heart. But great emotion always, without fail, catalyzes great songs. Just ask Eric Clapton ? la "Tears in Heaven."
For all those coming back from abroad, I empathize with the experience the Study Abroad Office has labeled "Reverse Culture Shock."
A tragedy with comic underpinnings, "How I Learned to Drive" is a compelling play that will make you rethink the way you view just about everything, from adultery and child abuse to cars and driving.
Make new friends, but keep the old, as the saying goes; the Daily has wisely observed this adage in column selection this semester. This spring's columns line up is one for the books, with a number of experienced columnists returning even as talented new ones emerge.
