dear TSN, quit messing with my university life. (& random gushing)
That damn movie is everywhere.
In Spoken English class today, we had a crazy amount of sibilant exercises. (I swear, if I hear the word "sibilant" one more time, I will pull out all my hair.) And one of the sentences we had to read and RECORD (horror!!) and listen to and then read and record again was: Sean's shiny shoes were made of shark skin.
I tried to read and record it, but when I listened to the tape, there were mostly just giggles and snorts. Like, "Sean... teeheehee... shoes... pfffft", and so on. Thank you for this, TSN.
And, it gets even better (worse?). In English communication, we talked about social networking sites and things. This is what happened:
The girl leading the discussion: In the very beginning, Facebook was actually a website where people could rate women's looks.
Everyone else: Oh my gosh, really????
Me: Facemash. You're talking about Facemash. It's not really the same thing.
The girl leading the discussion: ...umm.
Everyone else: ...
Teacher: *points his pencil at me* You've seen the movie, haven't you?
Me: *grins*
I'm not even on Facebook and I still know more about it than the rest of the class. And then people say you can't learn things by watching movies all day. Ha.

Also, yesterday, there was this Writer's Block question:
