I love being back at school.
But I miss my friends immensly.
Things keep happening that remind me of them, references to Empire Records and Camp and Tainted Love and the injustice of having an old man professor (more on that later).
At the same time I love my friends here. And I missed them immensly over break.
And we're really bonding and forming true friendships.
I just wish I could mesh the two groups of friends and towns and lives.
I auditioned for LFC shows. I have a part in the Vagina Monologues. I'm super psyched about it.
Classes are good...ish.
Intro to Communication Disorders is the one with the old man professor. So far he has tried to teach us that AIDS is a strictly sexually transmitted virus and I had to raise my hand and say, "what about hemophiliacs and drug addicts? they can get it from needles." and someone else said "can't babies get it too? from their moms?" and he's like, "oh right, I forgot about that." Today he informed us that autistic children frighten him. *shakes head*
Sociology is pretty good so far. I like the professor. He calls us scholars. "good morning scholars".
Elements of Performance is the best. We're reading 8 plays this quarter. We've already read True West. Next is the Pillowman, and we're going to write some paper on it, only she wasn't real clear as to how that will work.
Current World Problems is ok. It's the hardest class so far. My professor is from Korea, but he speaks English really well. He jokes around with us a lot and goes on tangents. I think I'm learning new things, but the process is difficult. It's tons of reading and a quiz every class.
I can't wait for Friday. Adam is coming to visit. I can't even begin to explain how excited I am to see him.
