(no subject)
Today was an okay day...kind of plain, lol
I am getting kind of upset with my judaic studies class. I don't like history, and this professor makes it tedious cause he is completely random and goes on tangents, and doesn't really focus on if anything is more important, so who knows what the quiz next tuesday will be on.
Linguistics was pretty cool! We started phonology, which is like...word structure and where sounds are. Okay, so it's dorky-cool. Like, get this. Hold your hand in front of your mouth and say "kite" (which phonetically is spelt [kayt]). You shoudl feel a puff of air on your hand on the "k" sound. Now, hold your hand in front and say "mike". AHA! there is not as strong a puff of air! Why is this?? Well, phonology shoudl help explain that (i hope) Also, here is something! Say the word "fan" and focus on the "a" now say "fat" and again, focus on the "a". Hear the difference? Now, say the words slowly with emphasis on the As. They sound different (or they should) because the "n" is a nasal consonant, and that changes the a before it!

After that, I went to the camps senter and donated blood. I realized a bi to late that I may have donated a bit too soon, lol. I think you are supposed to wait 58 days before donating again, and...I can't remember the date of my last donation. But oh well. I found out my blood pressure is 142/64 and I have no idea what that means but...if that's ever a final jeopardy question, you know the answer. The lady who was taking care of me was talkative, but kinda quiet sometimes, so I wasn't too sure of what she was saying and it took me awhile to answer the questions. Also, she had to ask for my phone number 3 times because at first I gave my moms, then my dads, then my cell, which was the right answer.
As long as I don'tthink about the needle I am pretty good. I just wish that there would be someone there to stand by me that I could talk to, cause then I just focus on the sensation I get from it, which, while not particularly painful, is far from comfortable.
After the blood-giving, I went to sit and read. The book I am going through now is kinda crazy and it leaves me going "wtf" a lot, lol. Then I had chorale, which wasn't a good time for me because of the fact that I was missing a pint of blood, and therefore got dizzy whenever I took a deep breath. Also, pobably unrelated, my mouth was really dry =/
After chorale, meg and I walked to her room, where she got ready for work and I started off to the seminar on Technical Writing. That was interesting and enlightening, but I am still unsure if I would enjoy doing that for my future. I'll have to get more info.
The lady reminded me of Mrs. Espisito, my 8th and 11th grade english teacher, lol.
Dinner was kinda crappy tonight. It was supposed to be "cultural heritage night", but as far as I was concerned, it was a tad racist. Fried chicken?? Come on! lol and Mac n Cheese? What culture is that? Oh, yes, celebrate your american culture! Newsflash: America has no culture! It is a brutal, sloppy conglomerate of other cultures run by prudes and puritans that does nothing but fuck up the rest of the world.
I got all that from dinner. wow.
AAAANYWAYS, after that, I got an ice cream sunday for megan, went to her room, and left it in her freezer. Then, I caught my bus, and now I am back here! I plan on posting the preface to my new story tonight, we'll see how that goes, lol
