I just hung out with 4 Saudi Arabian guys for like two and a half hours, smoked hookah, and made all sorts of jokes. That was when I was supposed to be doing my homework, but this was way more fun. One of the guys lives in the apartment right next to mine and Sara's, so we both went over and sat on the balcony with them (Nezzar called me and told ( Read more... )

So I've been miserably sick and bedridden all day. I missed my practicum (which I'm never allowed to miss, and will somehow have to make up), I missed my honors class (Mariz is going to give me a look when he sees me next, I just know it) and I also missed both that Immigration presentation and Japan Night, which I really wanted to go to and sort ( Read more... )

        Erik says that I've been neglecting my livejournal, so it's probably true. I'll try to remedy that in a succinct bit of posting before hitting the sack. I have a big day of doing mostly nothing ahead of me tomorrow, after all...
        Well, that damned C+ turned into ( Read more... )

All right, everyone out there...I know that I've been off the cyber radar for a few days...the gods of technology are very fickle, and getting a new computer entailed losing everything on my old hard-drive, resulting in a mini-meltdown for Robin and a total lack of desire to post while wallowing in techno-despair. However, Tony is using his magic ( Read more... )

So all sorts of things happened today. I got up early, and went in to work because I had forgotten someone's phone number in my box after I had written it down yesterday...when I showed up, I walked in on chaos; the person who was supposed to be there wasn't, and a person from the stock room, someone from pricing, and the manager of womens were ( Read more... )

So I just filled out evaluations for the class of doom. I know for a fact that I've never been so mean on an eval as I just was five minutes ago. We were supposed to fill out two, one for each teacher. I gave the piece of my mind to one, and then, on the other one's sheet, wrote, "This class was a waste of a perfectly good summer. See Vicki's sheet ( Read more... )

 The program director is on vacation, so I couldn't talk to her in person. Oh, well. I don't know if this will accomplish anything now, but I wrote her an email anyway. I think I mostly veiled my intense disgust with formal language. If you want to read it, go ahead. I'm tempted to forward it to the teachers themselves, but maybe it's a little too ( Read more... )

Okay. So, my teachers suck at teaching, and yet they grade really tough. I haven't gotten full credit for anything in there, yet, even though the reason I'm docked points is either: a) they're really, really meticulous about how I've worded something, or b) they gave retarded directions and should be defenistrated for penalizing me for their ( Read more... )
