Mind of Mencia is definitely overrated.
More than two months have passed since I left school, which means that summer is more than half over. What does it all mean? Well, aside from the fact that my days of blissful idleness are now numbered, it means that I'll be back in Connecticut sooner than later. I have mixed feelings about that.
On the plus side...
+ Shiny new dorm room just for me (in a different Butt)
+ School friends
+ New classes
+ No more being bored
+ Freshmen
On the negative side...
- Schoolwork (namely, lots and lots of papers)
- Morning classes (MWF 8 AM, T/Th 9 AM) all week, every week
- Eating Wesleyan "food"
- Freshmen
I'm currently watching a commercial for the movie Guess Who. In case you are not familiar with the film, it stars Bernie Mac as a racist father who disapproves of his beautiful daughter's lame white boyfriend, played by Ashton Kutcher. Well, I don't think the movie wishes to project Bernie Mac's character as a bigot, but that's essentially the reality. Now, I know racial discourse can be pretty amusing, but what if this movie, a comedy, tried to make light of white parents disapproving of their daughter's black suitor? Something tells me that the NAACP, among others, wouldn't be too happy about it. It's amazing how little a product of pop culture has to change in order to cross the borderline from "funny" to "offensive." Have I seen the movie? Nope. Will I? Probably not, even though Bernie Mac rules. It does look more entertaining than Spy Kids 3, though. Blech.
Some kid on the Wesleyan community posted about his new room, which happens to be Lauren's room from last year and right down the hall from my old one. How weird is that? Keep in mind that earlier this summer, I also met someone who had that same room when he was a freshman at Wes. Oddly enough, I met him on a FARM in Random, Massachusetts. I wonder if I'll meet the person who has my old room. I had planned on making my mark on it somewhere, maybe on the desk, but I never got around to it. Hmm.
I want to go to Canada again. Katie wants to go, too, and Missy has expressed interest. Our neighbor to the North really has some things going for it, such as curling (the sport with brooms), the Weakerthans, and Degrassi: the Next Generation. Not too bad, eh?
