One class down, one to go. I now have to wait around until 1:00 before I can crash the next party.

Last night I was laughing at an expression one guy used in the movie we just watched, (Friday After Next) and then Vic put his foot in his mouth. Deep. "Those people are always saying crazy shit like that." Now, let me frame this alil better by saying that Abe's girlfriend, who was in the room at the time, is black. Other than Vic, everyone could CLEARLY see that Shy was becoming more and more offended. Now, Vic's no dunce, but when he's making a point, he has what's best described as a rare form of conversational tunnel vision. He just kept going, started to reminisce on some black guy he used to know, and wouldnt stop using terms like "those people" and "they always". Even when Shy said "Um, I'm black and I dont know anybody who says that" Vic almost rudely brushed her off and kept rambling on. Glances were shooting all over the room, mostly of the "wtf" sort. It was uncomfortable cuz Shy was feeling generalized, yet it was also funny because this was just typical Victor. Haha, freaking Vic.

I really need to put far more time into my work, slightly more time into my hobbies, and and a little more time into University.
