Like a pack of angry monkeys, the wind continues to rip off shingles and throw them to the ground. This is most amusing because these shingles were laid down only a month ago and they are already ripped to shit.
I forgot how the wind can get out here. Power outages all over, but it looks like we've been missed, for now.
It's been a while since my last update, but I can't say I missed it. A lot has happened, but we'll forgo the details.
Recent news, bulletized!:
My semester GPA turned out to be a 3.66 (lowest being a B+). Color me happy.
Haven't slept worth shit since school started. Walk around in a zombie-like stupor all day, but come night I just can't fall asleep. This, of course, gets more irritating as they days stack up.
Snow. Oh yes, we have that. Wind, too.
Decided I am joining Modern Arnis (Filipino stick fighting)(looks like quadhome and samfu might be too), but I'm bailing on morning yoga and pilates until my sleep cycle is on the up and up. Everyone join Modern Arnis. If you're cool then it will be fun, and if you're not then I will beat you with sticks. Also joining Wing Chun as soon as I find the time to train.
Horrible news. In my public speaking class they actually expect me to speak... you know, in front of people. I was to give an intro speech today, but there wasn't enough time to fit in mine today (hoorah!).
Getting back on an XP system from an iPod is more of a hassle than I had thought. I may have to get a Mac mini just to rid myself of this one irritation.
I've just finished my first days in my new classes. Some real potential in the female classmates, but we'll see if I actually act on any of these impulses.
The following should be banned, in my opinion: streaked/highlighted hair (I think there's actually more students with highlights than without), faux fur hoods on jackets (though real fur ones are just as ugly), flipped collars (obviously), wearing barely laced shoes and tucking the front of the pants under the bill (a frat favorite), being super tan in the friggin winter, use of cell phones anywhere near people (to the girl that just had to cackle like a banshee on her phone the whole bus ride back), anyone who asks idiotic first-day questions ("do you curve?", "is the final cumulative?", "do I need to take notes on this?", "do you take attendance?").
Sorority girl quotes of the week:
"I almost started crying because we couldn't find any pink straws."
"I have laundry to do later. I want to die."
"I was talking to one of my best friends on the phone and then this guy started giving me a lap dance so I hung up on him."
"She used to whore? No, she does whore."
With some ranting out of the system I think I'm good for a while.
