Sex Week, YardFest, and the Possibility of Snow

1. Harvard's inaugural sex week has just ended. Did you learn any new tricks, or maybe discover a new fetish? Or is your sex life still the last thing on your to-do list? If so, get out there this weekend and cross it off.

2. Reflect. Reading period begins in less than a month, so what have you done this semester? Have those grandiose goals been accomplished, or have they been thrown into your overflowing laundry basket?

3. President Obama is finally considering repealing tax benefits to oil companies. Why? He thinks their $4 billion—yes, billion—in annual profits justifies shifting these tax benefits into more research for cleaner alternative fuels.

4. Mitt Romney is rumored to gain the support of former president George H. W. Bush. As of late, Romney has been the expected Republican nominee, and even Rick Santorum can't help but admit that Romney will likely win the nomination.

5. The Pope and Fidel Castro walk into a bar…or, rather, a nursing home. This week, the Pope visited Castro, the octogenarian dictator of Cuba. Previously an atheist state, the country's relations with the Catholic Church have improved recently. Aside from church-state relations, rumor has it that conversation topics included staying in power—and, of course, Ke$ha.

6. Today in Washington, D.C., weGrow, dubbed the "Wal-Mart of weed," is opening up a store that offers just about everything needed to ease that chronic back pain. The shop's doors will open right as a city law permitting residents to purchase medical marijuana takes effect. Looks like the budget isn't the only thing going up in smoke.

7. "The Hunger Games" opened last weekend, destroying the box office competition and claiming the third highest opening of all time after "The Dark Knight" and the last "Harry Potter" film. Yeah, we were shocked too.

8. Now that we know "what's their name again?" and "haven't heard of him" are playing at Yardfest, what are your expectations for the festivities this year? One question that's been lurking in the background: What happened to the days of Sara Bareilles and Kid Cudi?

9. OCS released their summer funding decisions this week, either making or breaking most students' plans for the next few months. If you got funding, find out who's going with you and celebrate this weekend by splurging a little. You can totally upgrade to the Strawberry Andre.

10. Snow! This weekend's forecast predicts a 30 percent chance of that janky stuff ruining your Saturday night. Dress appropriately.
