I've been travelling but I don't know where...

So, I dropped my Elementary Photography class. Why? Well, partially this and partially because, while sitting in class with our laptops out, the professor pointed at us and went "I see we have some toy computers". Then proceeded to tell us we should get Macs and blah blah Mac Nazi shit I don't give a fuck about. I laughed and told him 'never'.

Also, the pointed mentioned on the site linked above about him liking only people with ~professional~ (read: expensive) cameras are favored held true. Another kid in class had a little netbook and a Canon something-or-another that was likely fuckall expensive and absolutely nothing was said to him about his 'toy computer'.

Now, I understand all the media departments at Kent use Apple products. I'm aware of this. It's also why I'm not taking VCD, because I can't afford a $1800 Macbook Pro. However, NOT EVERYONE CAN AFFORD/WANTS A FUCKING MAC. This does not mean you shove your ~GODLY~ opinion of Macs down other's throats. You know what you do when there's PCs in the classroom and you'll primarily be using Macs for in-class work? You ask if the PC users are familiar with the Mac systems. You don't insult their belongings because you believe a brand to be ~sooo~ much better. It's unprofessional and rude AT BEST.

On top of that, he just droned on and on and neither Angie or I could keep attention on him.

So, halfway through when he decided to take a break (it was only a two hour class), Angie and I packed up and GTFO. Then, proceeded to drop that shit like a bad habit because I can use the $800 tuition more than I can use a month of frustration at a douchebag professor.

I have Life on Planet Earth today, which I'm hoping will be a decent class. I also have Introduction to Geography, which is 100% online and I think it'll be super easy.

Unfortunately, it's raining and I have to walk to campus. Unless I luck out and catch the bus, but I still have to go and pay the water bill two blocks away. Upside, though, I found an umbrella in the trunk last night.

TJ has a therapist appointment today, but it's while I'm in class, so we'll probably be home around the same time anyhow.

I have the urge to draw. Like, pencil to paper draw. However, all my pencils have gone missing. So I either need to find them, or stop at the art store downtown. I need a new, decent mechanical pencil, however. I haven't seen any of mine in a ~long~ time now. But, at least my sketching pencils are still around.

I guess my grandmother's back in the hospital. She was doing really well back at the nursing home for a minute there, my mom told me.
