ugh..
Thank god for the weekend. After just two days of school, I've decided that 7:00 in the morning is something I never want to see again.
School is decent though so far. Calculus is the same as last semester just more shit to do. I got the same psycho teacher that can factor a fourth degree polynomial in her head. Apparently we should be able to do this sort of thing as well. My CS classes are decent. The early one is Object oriented Design/Algoritms. I think I will enjoy it quite a bit, since design is my favorite part, coding has become a chore. The other one is more of a math class, Discrete structures. Our class this week involved him handing out the syllabus and leaving, so not sure what it will involve. And finally, American Lit, hehehe... the prof is sort of like Jerry falwell meets sipowitz from NYPD Blue. He's upset at the world because he couldn't be a cop, and he acts just like one. He also lectures in the style of a televangelist and is about as right-wing fundy as you can get. I was half tempted to start speaking and tongues and scream out "Praise Jesus!" in the middle of the lecture. Wish i had the guts to go with these great ideas. Think I'm getting old.
My "floating" copy of Ishmael was returned today. I found it in a used bookstore and decided to pass it around to people I know at school, and told them to pass it on to their friends as well. each person writes their email address inside the cover when they are done so we can discuss it. apparently it has been read by 7 people since november. the last guy said he didn't know anyone who would appreciate it so he gave it back to be. Think I'll send it out again soon.
I decided to read the Bible again to prepare for discussion in english class, and just so I remember why I'm not Christian. In a heavily baptist community sometimes I feel like it would just be easier to get in line rather than put up with all the crap. Anyway, so i walk into the Bible store, wearing a marilyn manson shirt because it was on top of the pile in the dresser, and the clerk looked at me like i was the devil or something.
"Are you in the right store?"
"Umm.. You sell Bibles here right?"
"Yeah, they are over there. How can you listen to that music and come in here for a Bible?"
"To protect one's self from the enemy, one must know what the enemy is thinking."
"umm.. that will be $8.64"
Actually, I don't view them as the enemy, rather an annoyance, just felt like having some fun with that dumbass. Apparently the idea is to keep inviting me to church because one day I might just say yes. They are persistant though, even after I've told them to fuck off and die several times the same people come up to me constantly. one of these days I'll bash them with a shovel or something. maybe the point will get accross then.
