So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

So I'm thinking I need to get out more. You know, make some friends outside of the department, seeing as the only thing that department people do is drink beer, do work, and complain about doing work.

I'm in the market, as they say, for a nice group of friends. How do I go about that? Well, I'm thinking mebbe I should join a nice club. It's a little difficult seeing as it's almost the end of the semester and then all those lazy undergraduates will go home for the summer, but it's not too early to be thinking about what kind of club I'd like to join.

I'm trying to meet several criteria:

1. People that do this activity would make good friends
2. This activity is something I actually like to do
3. Won't take up a HUGE amount of time, but still meets often enough so I can get to know people.
4. Isn't the kind of activity where whatever you are doing prevents you form actually getting to know or talking to the people with whom you are doing the activity (i.e. ballet)
5. Friendly towards graduate students

Here are some options, mostly based on criterion number 2:

German Club
Argentine Tango Club
Salsa Club
Taiko Drumming
Mariachi de Brown
Climbing Wall club
Yacht Club
Breakdancing Club
Christian Fellowship

There is a kinda cool-looking gospel choir thing but they talk a lot about the Black Church in their description so I kinda get the impression that I wouldn't be that welcome, due to the color of my skin. Same with all of the ethnic clubs except for the Swiss one and the German one. Maybe the Celtic one, but those people tend to be rather exclusive, too.
Christian Fellowship would be cool, but I happened to know that one of my former students goes to that pretty regularly, and I wouldn't want him to think I was stalking him....

Sucks that they don't have a drawing club. Or a movie-making club. That would be RIGHT-ON. So now that we've gotten a list of potential clubs, let's discuss the kind of people I would likely meet in each of these clubs:

German Club
Huge nerds
Argentine Tango Club
girls who are very full of it/sketchy guys/guys who don't brush their teeth
Salsa Club
Same as above; possibly no guys at all
Taiko Drumming
Japanese people/very pale white Japanophiles slightly more athletic/social than those in the Anime Club
Mariachi de Brown
Mexicans/Trumpet players
Climbing Wall club
Hippies
Yacht Club
Yuppies
Breakdancing Club
Koreans
Christian Fellowship
*Super* *Nice* people/People who say obnoxious things like "How is your Walk?"

Hmmm....

There's no literature club?

or science club?

Just a few suggestions.

what he said
I tried a book club at my Univeristy but due to what was then a lack of confidence I stopped going. In the end - I think it was a good thing. g'luck though Miss Zanzibar - I have no doubt that you'll find a new group. I mean, you're quite the intresting gal.

everytime I look at your croc hunter/wombat picture...I can't tell whose cuter. It also makes me want to research the wombat. yep.

ROFL
I know exactly what you mean, particularily about the anime club people XD. You should just go to all of them and see which groups fit you the best. It's like church, you might not like everybody there, but hopefully you'll like enough people to come back.

Mariachi all the way. I love your use of social stereotypes, by the way.
