Alright. So, what has it been? A little over a month, I suppose. I have no reason for my newfound disdain for LiveJournal, I guess I just really haven't had a whole lot to say in awhile. Honestly, I don't think I have a whole lot to say right now but I really feel that an update is in order. Why? Because I can't sleep, mostly.
What is there to even talk about? Things have been pretty hectic lately and I don't know why. I am officially dropping African Studies which will make me a part-time student. Not a big deal as I've done this before but it kinds sucks because it really seems as if I'm going to take 40 years or so to finish up college. When I think about it, my life isn't very busy and shouldn't be very stressful, but for some reason I always feel stressed out and school seems to really wear me down, at least in my head. After getting rid of African Studies, my schedule is going to be ridiculously easy. I have CSE 125 MWF, but I don't really need to go to CSE 125 because rehashing my Microsoft Office skills isn't really necessary. I've nailed 100% on all the labs so far. Our first exam is Wednesday so I guess we'll see how that goes. I'm pretty sure I can handle an exam on the basics of computer use but you never know. Other than that, I have my history class which meets Thursday nights and is pretty awesome. The teacher is a strange old hippie and other than my RHT 160 professor from last semester, he's the most captivating teacher I've had while at OU. History can go either way for me, some things I can remember, some I can't, but he makes it legitimately interesting, which I think is mostly due to the fact that he's crazy. Exams might be hard but I think I can swing at least a C in the class. Here's hoping for a B.
So for those of us keeping score, that's CSE 125 which I have to go to about once a week and history which only meets once a week. I'm working about 22 hours a week which isn't that much and yet for some reason I'm driving myself crazy. I have no explanation for this and neither should you. I'm going to take at least once class in the summer in order to hurry things a long a bit. My parents and I decided I should pretty much just finish up my Gen Ed credits at Oakland and then find something out because after two years I still pretty much hate it. It's not the schools fault, it just really isn't the environment I want to be in. I need to be doing something with television/film, particularly writing. I don't want to take broadcasting or anything wonky like that, because I write, not film. Journalism isn't the style I prefer to write in and taking those classes seems like it would be worthless. I guess English might be more helpful but I don't know yet. Someone think for me.
Oh. Onto a happier note. Guess who is coming to Michigan? MC FUCKING CHRIS. Greatest nerdcore rapper to ever grace these United States. He's going to be dropping dope rhymes on the Blind Pig on March 6th and it would probably be a good idea for those of us that dig him to attend. I haven't been to a show in forever and I really have the itch to get out there and see something. Plus, it's MC Chris. It'll be amusing, if nothing else. And I might finally get to see a show in Ann Arbor, which is apparently way cooler than Detroit.
I've started something awful and I can't stop it. Pepsi is giving away free iTunes downloads and that got me drinking caffeine again. I now refer to Mountain Dew as liquid poison even though I've secretly missed it I don't really need to drink it for long, as soon enough the caps are going to start pouring in. (Working at a grocery store does have some advantages) but I can't seem to help it. Free music on the internet? What a weird idea. Yes, the concept is a little strange to me. I could easily drink Gatorade, use SoulSeek, and get everything I want for free. Yet for some reason I am now drinking Pepsi, and making Pepsi pay for my music downloads. I suppose I just prefer going about things the legal way, but there is always the added bonus of an winning an iPod mini. I mean, they are giving away one an hour. I guess that makes my chances really great, right? Eh? Eh? If I did win, I really have no use for a mini, as I already have way too much music, so I would probably give it to the friend I love the most. Also, the best part about caffeine is my inability to sleep at night.
Plans for Chicago 05 are underway. We are going to be going August 4th-10th. No word on who will be at the ComicCon, but I doubt anyone care s about that anyway. The trip is going to be awesome and we're trying to take twice as many people as last year. Also, we are staying a few extra days for extra Chicago fun. Basically, if you want to go all you have to do is let me know and I will love you forever.
MySpace is stupid.
I've almost forgot to mention my exciting news that I've probably already told everyone! I got my tax information last week and proceeded to finish my taxes in a day. I should be getting a couple hundred back and I don't know what I should do. My mom says I need to save for school because of my newfound part-timeness screwing my parents out of some of their loan money. Bleh. I want to spend it on a new camcorder to replace the one my wonderful sister decided to completely fuck up the good one. Stank and I may or may not have been working on a super secret project, and there's always the refilming of Turner and Walters come the first sign of warm weather. Responsibility or doing one of the few things I enjoy? Hmmm...
I know I had more to talk about but I can't really remember what it was I had to say. Rest assured, it was less interesting than everything else I had to say.
