it's 5AM.
I'm updating after two months and a half of not. Yeah, I've fallen in love with Elbow. Anyway, I actually have an essay due in about 4 hours so there is no legitimate reason for this post. I just felt like it since everyone else seems to be updating their lives and my last one was in January. Well, the reasoning behind that is because all my classes are still the same and everything that isn't class-related is really not that interesting.
For example, the person I talk to the most at this moment is my mom. Yeah, aww. Before that, it was myself. Not so cute anymore. This will give you a good idea of my current social situation. I am alienated, and I am not. It's a little hard to explain, but I find it altogether very funny. So... well, there's not much to say. I've started watching Lost, gotten thoroughly addicted, want to watch V for Vendetta, have a crap load of stuff to do by tomorrow or risk the end of my scholastic life (a very real possibility in the light of this update), and have yet to make a new friend this semester. Pathetic, I know. My eyes hurt.
So in English I read this play called "Saved", and a baby in a pram gets stoned to death in a public London park and it's all very horrible. It's disturbing. I've resolved to take extraneous, meaningless words intended to emphasize a feeling I might not need to emphasize for the lack of a personal emphasis out of my written vocabulary. This would mean no 'very', 'really', 'extremely', 'quite', 'rather', and... possibly... 'possibly', and other such words. Will definitely fail this resolution but I'm getting it anyway. Ah, have failed already.
In my development studies class, I'm learning about social movements around the world. Is it wrong not to feel very affected by these momentous surges of individual revolution? I mean, appreciation and understanding aside, if the feeling isn't there, then I just feel old and... old. I don't know. It's upsetting me. It might also be due to the fact that I'm just not in the mood to be typing up a long-winded forum post on the dependency theory vs. the modernization theory. Sighs.
I ended up getting a B+ of a B- on my city planning midterm (read: 83). Very grateful as I thought I was going to get a dreadful C. In this class I will learn to 1) read my reader, 2) make notes out of the reader, 3) make concise notes out of my notes, and 4) memorize correctly and applicably. This sounds incredibly boring, but it is the only interesting thing going on in this class. I'm lying. This class is very important to all of us and I recommend everyone take a CP class because honestly, the reason we're all so messed up and stuff... is because of poor city planning. This sounds farfetched, but I am not wrong in this. Then again, perhaps it's just the hammer syndrome speaking. (In case you didn't know, the hammer syndrome is the idea that if all you got is a hammer, then you're gonna swing it. If you clever people still don't understand, then I don't want to know you.)
In my industrial engineering class, I'm learning about various stock options and other weird terminology, what incentives motivate human beings to work together in an organization, and why insecure and smart people are loved by ambitious and loving CEOs. I'm also learning how much an intern makes at Microsoft ($4500 a month with lodging/food/parking included), how to make a short and sweet business memo to persuade people to my case, and why an accurate third party analysis is valuable in the millions. Suffice to say, I really hate this class. Everyone here is as ambitious as my English class is pretentious. I'm shrinking, I'm shrinking!
That's the lowdown on my classes. Anything else? Well, several close people worry that I'll be mistaken for a lesbian, so the next time you see me in a polo, can you please tell me that I look very feminine in it and I won't be forced to cry myself into pieces and pack up all seventeen of them? I say it like a joke, but it's not. Anyway, spend twenty minutes on this post and that's far too long in light of the rest of my long, long day, so I will bid you adieu.
Oh, Melissa came up and it was great.
I can't remember my dreams anymore, but lately... they've been really funny.
