New semester, etc.
So, first day of classes. I had two today, Writing Short Fiction and Anthropology. The fiction class should be fun, as it's with the same professor I had for both Creative Writing and Writing About Literature last semester. A few people from Creative Writing are also in this fiction class with me. A really annoying and conservative old broad, who is - somehow - a reverend (though of what, I have no clue), is in the class too, which really takes away from my hope for the class because I had been in the writing clubgroupthing at the college and the "rev." was there, turning it to shit. Also, this chick Amanda is in there, and that's another bummer because I hooked up with her right after the breakup between me and Steph about a year-and-a-half ago or so. The girl's nothing but drama and endless monologues that lead nowhere but take forever to get there. Still, I'm looking forward to making snide remarks and writing some more.
Anthro looks promising too, but it could swing either way. She may be a bit tough on grading, and though she's seemingly bubbly and quirky, my in-class joking that goes over so well everywhere else didn't get much in the way of a laugh from her today. Still, the subject matter should keep my interest, and there aren't any long papers or a midterm or final in there. Most of the students in there, from what I gather so far, just seem dull, ignorant, rude, or a combination of the three. Most of them probably thought it counted for a science credit because of the suffix "-ology." Or is it "-logy"? Whatever.
Come mid-March, I'll have a science on the Tuesday/Thursday schedule too, but I can't really write about that one yet, can I? But I do have the first class meeting in my Intro. to Literary Humor course on Monday, so maybe I'll update on that. Or, if this completely bores you, I'll write about something else. Actually, I probably won't. I'm probably just going to write whatever comes to my head, just so I can clear it and sleep. If you're hoping for something more interesting, I'd just keep my fingers crossed for me to get drunk and post something.
As for the big gap from that post forever ago and this post and filling everything in...don't expect anything. I can't stand recounting things that happened to me. I'm still dating Alicia (10 months on Sunday). The movie script hasn't been touched, though I think about it almost as much as I'm asked about it. I've actually been drinking less since I turned twenty-one (yes, I am, and yes, I had fun), though it's hard to remember, so I can't verify that statement. I've read tons of books. A lot of Bukowski, a bit of Miller, a few Vonnegut, pretty much everything Neil Gaiman's ever written, 3/4 of Chuck Klosterman's books, Steinbeck's East of Eden, and I'm currently on a Bret Easton Ellis binge ever since I picked up Lunar Park, which I finished a couple of days ago, and moved on to Rules of Attraction. No new jobs. Still working at the tennis center (I know, almost 5.5 years, I know) and nowhere else. Haven't been to any shows in forever. Haven't bought the new Bright Eyes (I'd prefer a new Good Life, though the new Cursive is stellar). Have bought the new Guster, which is great as always. Christmas was nice. New Year's was nice for being sick (I know, it sucks, yeah I heard it's going around too, sorry you/your friend or family member/etc. had it).
I need a smoke, and I don't want to lose this because LiveJournal is devious and will delete whatever the writer isn't there to protect for minutes at a time. So here you go. If you got this far, I promise to get you those precious minutes of your life back. Or not. But thanks anyway.
