(no subject)
We got a kitten. His name is Sue. Probably the best kitten to walk on the face of the earth. Right now he is laying next to my right arm as I type on the floor of our appartment. Sue is going to be mine when we leave this place, but until then I am still finding it difficult to take my hands off him for one second. Except for last night: he is not yet the best sleeping partner.
This semester is off to a crazy start. All of my classes are intricately related which makes me feel like I am getting a broader perspective in each of them.
I have got Modern German History with professor Ostoyich, who I just might have a mini teacher crush on. We are studying German history until WWI.
Intro to Linguistics
German 301
Multicultural Literature in Contemporary Germany
Indigenous Cultures and Globalization
and Central Asian Neighbors.
It is a very humanities-involved semester. I am looking forward to something different next semester, but for now I am ending up reading a lot, but not doing much else.
Livejournal is inherently self-involved as far as writing goes, but that is only one small part of it. There is nothing wrong with wanting to share. Writing in a tiny online blog is not pompous because in doing so one does not assume that anyone will read it.
I am in major nerd mode these days. Going new places does that to me. Books, Elfquest, nerd games, being attracted to boys that would be described by others as "twitchy" or "dorks." Today though, I sat for an aquaintance who needed a portrait model. RETCH, I have to remind myself never to have photos taken again. I really do not look like I imagine myself. My parents have done a thorough job of over-inflating my ego. It is depressing to realize that.
Before I left I was kind of freaking out about what an anal bitch I had turned into. It is only half true, but still, I wish that I was a slob like I used to be. Those were good days.
