Day 109 of 2010 - Fare Thee Unwell
Today was my last day of classes at Northeastern. It was kinda weird.
I have a final on Monday at eight in the morning, and a few loose ends to tie up this week, but otherwise? Done. How, how, wow.
Nutcase did her final lecture on neologisms, nonce forms, and hapax legomena, which I effing ate up with a damn spoon. I actually recorded it on my phone and will, most likely, post it for you, beloved reader, in the next day or two. I thought to whip my phone out and record because she started by talking about non-suffixes like -accino, -palooza, and -icious, all of which hydrozoa has posted about not loving, and I'm sure she's not alone...
It's a 46 minute lecture, but it's a good one!
It also made me kinda start to consider changing my internet handle to protologism...
Then, I stayed late to talk to Whale Wars, knowing full well that, though she asked me to stay to talk about my directed study, what she really wanted was to gossip. So I stayed, because I feel like I owe her said gossip.
So. We talked about my papers for like 5 minutes. And then we spent 35 minutes talking about everything else. And I told her about the meeting last week and how unproductive it was because no one seems to actually care. And she started crying. Like, real tears! She had to use her sleeve to wipe them away. And then she told me she wishes she could quit. And that made me genuinely sad.
And then she tells me Kay Onan emailed her saying they needed to talk. And then right when I was leaving, Kay called. And I wanted to stand outside her door and listen sooooo badly, but I didn't! Cause my butt has a limited honor code! But, now? I'm like DYINNNNNG over not knowing what happened. DYYYING. Like, I guess the worst that could have happened would be if Kay was like "Ms Greene said this this and this about you!" and it'll turn out that Whale Wars didn't want me saying ANYTHING about her, rather than just the stuff she prefaced with being "off the record," and she could end up hating me. And retaliating and raising the entire class' average by 20% but not mine...
The next worst thing would be she gets fired because it seems like Kay and Janet are like lesbo lovers and in the mob (Happy Equal Pay Day!), the way they act. And because Whale Wars is acting against them, she's toast. Which is #2 Worst on my list only because it'd mean she'd get fired when she already wants to quit, plus this is something she could totes sue for.
So anyway, I came home, did some Etsy updating, finished my Phonology take-home final, and began slowly entering my beloved winehole. Just me, boxwine, and Arrested Development.
Adios, Fuck Mountain.
EDIT:
Sarah,
Here is your work from Language Acquisition, good job!
BTW, the call from Kay was just to ask me to grade your assignments from
Syntax...
