(no subject)
its monday and i am not depressed. i have two more days of class this week. and it will be the third week in a row that i only had art history once. i was thinking about that.. i think that if i had any other art history teacher, i would hate it. and to think.. next semester is my fourth class with this prof. anyhow..
the reason i write this is to talk a little about the weirdness that went on in my two classes today. first was management. the prof is a relatively old guy, and he has been teaching there for a long time, but the class was in hysterics today. though it was hard for me to decide if we were laughing with him or laughing at him. anyhow.. he has this thing where almost every class he reads some article from the buffalo news, usually business related.. but today he read this one about how only 13% of americans between the ages of 18 and 24 can find iraq on a map, and 10% of americans cannot find the USA on a map that isnt labeled. from there he went to talking about how my generation is the "MTV, BET, movies, internet, television, survivor" generation. and that when his son was growing up, he was trying to teach him some values. and he was competing with MTV to instill these values. for example, he said, he was trying to teach his young son to never, under any circumstances, to touch a woman in anger. where at the same time, MTV was telling him that all women were 'bitches and hoes.' goddamn.
the next class just felt so looooooooooong. and we find out that they're putting a super wal-mart in niagara falls next to the old lasalle high school. they're also moving the sam's club over there too. putting a plaza in the middle, and wal-mart is going to sell.. (are you ready for this...?) gas and lumber! the same things alex and i used to call up bob asking him is he sold. ahhhhhh the good old days.
i have a cd burner in this computer now. i made an eels and a death cab for cutie compilation. one cd for each band, mind you, and they worked perfectly. when i tried to put some sigur ros songs on a cd, it sounded all weird, with pops and shit. i dont get it. biut i'm not gonna worry about it.
anyhow.. dave comes home tomorrow. probably drinking on wednesday. seeing laurie sometime this weekend. and i am thinking about really going to minnesota for new years. i probably wont though.
