Semester II
Well, my second semester actually started tuesday, because of Martin Luther King Jr. day and all, but anyway, today was a trip. One of the older people in the class brought in an adult book and a kid book because she didn't know exactly what to bring. She decided to go for 'Willie the Sqouse'. Before I go on, let me name a few of my classmates.
Dawna(?) - sqouse-bringer
Nick - spacey dude
Kayla - chattery girl
Mel - ditzy canadian
(?) - the girl from cheyenne whose name escapes me ATM
Sage - the quiet, geeky one
Andy - The teacher
Dawna - "So Willie the Sqouse is about this little guy called Willy who changes the lives of three families. My kids LOVED this one."
Nick, Kayla and everyone else - "What's a...Sqouse?"
Dawna - "It's a half-squirrel half-mouse."
Mel - "AWWW! It's all...interracial and stuff...that's so sweet!"
Andy - "I think that would be inter-special, Mel."
But yeah, that one really got me XD Mel is...a character, I guess you could say. Also, when I was talking about Dune, Sage seemed really into it.
Me - "So the story of Paul Atreides parallels the story of Lawrence of Arabia a lot. Paul, like Lawrence, was a great fighter, and became one of the people, even though he was in a really high position."
Sage - *fervent nodding* "Wow, you know, I read the Dune books, but I never noticed the Lawrence of Arabia thing...that's really interesting."
Also, after class, my dad and I went to this presentation in the art building that could hardly be called a presentation. There were three people who had no idea what they were talking about. The first one kept on about 'things leading on to other things', the second 'would rather be outside (I even wish my OFFICE were outside!) and the third one, a photographer, kept going on about all his camera 'toys'. I could hardly handle it. Afterwards, Mark asked me what I thought and I used that as a chance to practice my budding talent for diplomacy. I said "Well, y'know, I have a mild interest in art...but other than that, I can't say I understand it." and he just kind of grinned at me. After that, my dad and I got in the car and he was like "Oh my goooooosh. I didn't want to say anything until we were completely out of the building." and we were talking about it all the way home. My dad was kind of mocking it by talking about when photocopiers first came out and people would photocopy their butts. He said "By putting my butt on this photocopier, a part of my body is...connecting with technology." We both couldn't stop laughing XD sure, maybe a little harsh, but I have NO TOLERANCE for people going on about something that isn't really there. You could say I'm 'bull****-interolant', perhaps. But yes, that was my day.
