(no subject)
i can't believe it's already november. the time's been flying by so fast, with everything swirling into a dysfunctionally beautiful mess. my 2 classes-anthrocult law and iran-us crisis-have been disappointing so far, with neither being what i signed up for. i really don't care for studying anthropological methods for studying AMERICAN legal PROBLEMS...it's funny how i thought i'd be studying systems of law, not their problems, and i could have sworn the United States was considered "western". o well, a month and a half left of that class. the other one is more like a discussion of what we don't read, and whatever my prof decides to "tangentize" (yes, i think i'll make that a word, thank you, Tom O'Donnell). The ironic thing is that he reminds me of how i would teach a class. he gets excited when he makes a point, and either beats it to death with every single detail that one would never want to hear, or he will talk about some obscure event and connect it to other and make huge, sweeping statements of an event and then fill in the gaps with his own personal opinions and uptakes. it's interesting to see ourselves in others, and for once be the one who critiques one's own behavior.
Starbucks is going well so far, it actually brings me back to the fun that i had working at mcdonalds, except with respect from managers and coworkers. no one yells, but the "inform". i really do not care for gay bitch Michael, though. one girl told me that she thinks he wants to be a woman, and then corrected herself and said that actually, he's bitchier than a woman and he's nothing but a dramatic liar. he called me "kiddo" as i was leaving. please. dude, you're like 2 years older than me, but i suppose he's older than me in bitch years, so i guess i can see that. tomorrow i get to work on the register. i'm excited to be working with coffee, it's gonna be worth doing that and getting paid SO much more than any job like that in the sault pays. they thought my $6 something at mcdonalds was criminal for my experience and time put into there.
my arabic teacher is annoyed with me, but then again i don't really care for her. i always hope she doesn't call on to answer because she always corrects my grammar, right down to the optional case ending that is, once again, optional. if it's not grammar,it's pronunciation. if it's not that, then she repeats what i had just said except she emphasizes it, as if she was correcting my intination or as if i had missed a word. ugh, it's more annoying than anything. it's alright though, i'll switch out next semester, i'm nto too worried about that. it's not like my grade is suffering.
Things seem a bit out of focus right now, i thought i knew exactly what path i wanted to take, but this fall threw a monkey wrench in my plans. i'm thankful that it did. only 4 more classes until my major reqs are fulfilled, 3 more for french. i dropped my international studies minor, it's too close to my MENAS major, so i'm thinking something like Poli Sci, for which i only need to take 5 classes. i really like my ps class last year, so i think i might do that, depending on study abroad and internships in france, which i might consider and which could be advantageous to anything that i do. thank God for monkey wrenches.
Lent starts in Feb this year, that makes me sad. at least it'll be over the day before my b-day. i think i'll go home for thanksgiving this year to break from here.
i though ann arbor was pretentious. no. if you want to see that, go to Novi. god, it was an ugg boot, spandex, gucci-prada, stuck up, self-loving fest. put me in a rotten mood to travel 30 minutes to get scoffed at in my sweatshirt and jeans.
Hinder is a good band, and should be explored further.
So is the Great Expectations soundtrack.
Listen to the waves
Everything communicates
Will it ever be
Anything more
Than wishful thinking?
Oh no there you go
Looked away and
Missed the show
How much wasted time
Will you survive?
Feel the blades of grass
How it brings you back
It will always be
Only as green
As you can see
Oh no there you go
Looked away and
Missed the show
How much wasted time
Will you survive?
Oh yeah fooled again
I don't know how
And I don't know when
Not much else to blame
But wishful thinking
Little breakdowns
In coastal towns
They come suddenly
Crashing over you
They come easily
I'm falling
Through the skies
And frozen places
Oh no there you go
Looked away and
Missed the show
How much wasted time
Will you survive
Oh yeah fooled again
I don't know how
And I don't know when
Not much else to blame
But wishful thinking
And I try to realise
That I needn't look
Any further
The whole of
The universe
Is plain to see
And I try not to rely
On another world
Or the future
The whole of
The universe
Is a mystery
And it gets me over
It gets me over you ohhh
And it gets me over
It gets me over you
Snow Patrol is anoying the hell out of me. it's a shame it's so over played.
i voted today, absentee ballot. it's retarded that i have to be absentee-d when i'm in the same damn state. tahnk you republicans, for trying to disenfranchise college students. you should know that you've already hanged yourselves. it's been a fun 4 years, but i think you're done yesterday.
work at 7:00am! i'm so excited to be doing something productive again.
