I keep forgetting the last thing I posted
BUTTTT I don't think I posted in at least 5 days? So maybe I'll just recap this week. I did a lot of studying! A ridiculous amount, all for the sake of school. I've only missed one class so far, and that was on Art History to study for Bio and one Bio to study for Religion, and one Math Recitation becauseee I accidentally woke up too late. Oops. Participation isn't necessary though.
Either way, life has been a lot better now that those midterms were over. The Art History and Religion one I was pretty nervous about both, but I think they went over really smoothly. You know? For Art History I made flashcards of all the shit we did, minus four because I wasn't there for that class. But luckily we only had to compare two sets of two slides, and I knew all of them. We had to prepare a Paul Revere engraving by Paul Revere and a portrait of Paul Revere by Copley, and then a Thomas Smith portrait of Thomas Smith and The Bermude Group by Smibert. And I knew all of them pretty hardcore.
For the religion one I read a lot. Well, more like I went over a lot of notes that I took, that ended up being really helpful. I also went to Professors Office Hours and asked him a few questions and that helped (I also saw him at some market that was in the quad where I got a bitchin headband, yeah yeah). But I even ended up calling my Aunt who ended up calling her Rabbi and I got to ask him some questions, yes I am that hardcore. But it was interesting because I learned that members of the 10 lost tribes of Israel eventually came to be in Afghanistan, and they converted and the majority of them are now members of the Taliban. Crazy huh? I'll need to research that a lot more. But I thought that was really interesting. It makes me want to take a Jewish History class or something.
Also when I was in the office I saw a poster for a study abroad program in Southern India. http://www.gwu.edu/~sita is the website. I am really interested in it and I would love to do that Fall Semester 07. I emailed the guy in charge and even if I don't go to that I might go to Africa with Abby over the summer? I just want to get out of the country for a change. I think that would be so fun, and everyone here has some awesome culture and I feel so left out sometimes. It's frustrating, I just want to DO SOMETHING with my college years. And I really want to travel. I should talk to my advisor about it too. And it's nice because my parents are totally cool with it. I would have never thought they would be but they seem to be really supportive about whatever I'm doing, I love it. I think it's because they know I know how to take care of myself. I got a letter from my grandmom today and it said "I wish that John was as organized as you". I love my brother but it's nice that my grandmom thinks that I'm organized and responsible. I don't drink I don't do drugs and I'm not having crazy sex you know? And I study a lot. But I still have fun, so it's all good :D
Which reminds me, last weekend Molly and I went to the zoo! It was a lot better than last time and it was nice because she actually WANTED to go, as opposed to last time when Thuy and I HAD to go. Omg. Otters are so hypnotizing. And graceful and adorable! I love it! AND OF COURSE...
I tried to send you it through picture messages, Alyssa, but then I remembered your phone is hardcore MIA. I sent you an email about it though haha
So yesterday we also got to see Demetri Martin! He was so funny, I'm telling you, and adorable. And I told him he was my yearbook quote and he was super nice and so funny and le sigh. I have a problem with fawning over him haha. He also had a really funny friend who was his opening act, Leo Allen. I should look him up too haha. Anyway there are pictures!
I had a lot of fun
Anyway I'm having problems getting up in the morning. I changed my sheets and now they're just SO DAMN COMFORTABLE. I love to sleep now, it's ridiculous. I had a meeting with my UW teacher with my group about our paper. We got a B+ on the proposal which is pretty sweet :D Now the real 12-page bitch is due next Friday but if we all do 2-3 pages and then the intro and conclusion together it shouldn't be so overwhelming.
Anyway I have a bunch of math shit to do that I'll probably do now. I don't want to fall behind like I did in high school, and the material we're covering right now is the exact moment where I started getting cocky and not caring, and then I got a D for that marking period. Gay. So I won't do that - I'm going to study study study. It's nice now that I know how my teachers grade too, because now I don't have to read my Art History or Religion books, I just have to take really good notes and read a lot of Bio and University Writing and study Calc and do all those problems ahhhh. I'm not stressing though. Not at all.
Hopefully I get that watergate job too. I called them to follow up on my application and left a message so I'll wait another two days and maybe call on Monday if they haven't called me back yet :( There's no harm in trying, right?
I also need to repluck my eyebrows haha. When I turn 18 I want to get my eyebrow pierced, but to do that I need to maintain proper maintenance, you know? Freal.
I'm going to get a chicken quesadilla and then come back here and do my math and watch some TV and relax in a good good good college-type way. I also got to talk to Diane today, that was nice.
Nice long post! Whew. About time. Leave comments haha :D Cause I love you guys frealll.
Edit: Oh also I feel smart because I'm getting better at Art History. And I actually participated and stuff. I participate a lot more now that I'm in college too... except in Bio. Haha fuck that. Anyway he was like, "Why's the Indians all be savage?" and I wuz all "Cuz of Western expansion, manifest destiny n shit" and he was like "lolz" and then we learned some more. I'm going to study now and not suck.
