I LOVE my school!

Jealous.

My schedule this semester:

• Film Appreciation
• Worlds of Romance
• Contemporary Drama
• Historical Linguistics: History of the English Language
• Learning Strategies

Learning Strategies… because I guess I haven’t figured out how to learn yet. I’m stoked about Contemporary Drama though. The first play we’re reading is “Doubt”. Worth noting: three of my classes are in a house.

I have a three hour gap between classes on Monday and Wednesday. Looks like the library and I are going to become BFFs.

Also, my GPA last semester was a 3.12. Not my best work, but oh well; I’m a senior by credit hours, and I have that mostly-worthless AAT degree completed.

I just finished and submitted my final research paper for the semester. I’m ecstatic! Joyous! Relieved!

Otis, however, remains unimpressed.

After my group presentation earlier this week, the 15 minute (25 minute?) presentation/lecture I gave Wednesday evening on “Vampirism as an Analogue for Rape Culture” and the two presentations I’m giving on Thursday—one on Gabriel García Márquez and one on Generalized Anxiety Disorder—I’m going to be officially done making presentations for the semester.

Four presentations in a week sucks.

I feel your pain, i had six papers, a portfolio, and 4 finals in a span of 72 hours.

re: John

I chose an English major because I didn’t want to do the math.

re: Nate

That is disgusting!

Natkins, cause this is the story of your life today.

Oops.

I went out to Webster University today to drop off some paperwork. It’d be pretty rad to finish up my degree there. I like that it’s a smaller student body. I don’t like how long of a drive it’d be to make it there every day, and I hear that parking is horrendous.

I’m totally digging the mixtape Wave that JD and I have going. I had forgotten how much I enjoy the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

I’m presenting two short papers this evening in class; one on “Big Fish”, and one on Gabriel García Márquez.

I have to go see “Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant” tonight as a class field trip. Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Who scored a 110% on his Educational Psychology midterm?

THIS GUY.

The class that meets before my Ed. Psych. class in room 102 is Foundations of Education, and some woman was telling the professor that she chose “using the correct form of there/their/they’re” as the topic of the lesson plan she was writing. This woman, then, proceeded to say, “I think they’re synonyms, right? Or antonyms?”

This is the topic that I came up with for my lesson plan as well, and I couldn’t help myself. “Miss, they’re homophones.”

Sincerely, if you don’t know the meaning of “homophone”—or the meanings of the words “synonym” and “antonym”, apparently—maybe it’s time to reconsider your intention to teach English to other people as a career.

Please. For all of us.

I want to sleep in so badly right now. It’s dark and rainy outside, and I didn’t get to sleep until pretty early this morning. But I’m not sleeping in. Instead, I’m going to your Technology for Teachers class, Professor Mark Taylor at Florissant Valley Community College.

So, uh, if you Google yourself and come across this, bonus points would be rad.

After I get out of my class this afternoon/evening, I am considering renting “Almost Famous” or “The Science of Sleep”. Or, maybe I should rent “The Pianist” so I can determine whether I think Roman Polanski should be jailed for raping a child. That’s how it works, right?

Tonight in class, we watched like half of “Armageddon”, and we’re starting “The Fountain”, to be finished next week. What a shame that I’ll be at the Andrew Bird concert instead.
