A new life
So i've completely start over w/ my college life and am now in Columbia at USC. Its been an interesting jump. USC is huge!!! I'm liking the fact that i can walk anywhere i wanna go and that this place offers such a great variety of experiences. One thing i'm not loving so much is the fact that USC didn't accept about 18 hours of my previous course load dropping me to a sophmore, but i am contesting it for at least enough hours to get me back up to junior status.
Other than that I got a great job at the Russell House (pretty much the main center of activitely/ cafeteria, kinda like the Student center being connected to the cafeteria being connected to the bookstore, yea awesome) wow longest run on parenthesis ever! lol. I'm working at the Marble Slab!!! **estactic giggles** No i haven't cleaned out their entire supply of Double Dark Chocolate quite yet, working on it tho. ;D I've already made a couple of friends there, and I'm loving having a set wage.
Oh and I'm going easy on myself classwise this semester. I'm taking:
Sociology of Crime- MWF 1:25-2:15
History 111- TTh 9:30-10:20; F-3:35-4:25
Chinese Film- M 2:30-5:30; W 7-9
Logic- TTh 2-3:15
Hahahahaha that's right I'm taking Logic. Believe me, not my favorite class. Oh and Chinese film is a riot. First off, I thought maybe we'd watch Hero or House of Flying Daggers since they've won all those awards and they're freakin' amazing. So the first day of class the teacher talks about how much he dislikes those movies....greeeaattt...at least i'm pretty sure that's what he said. His accent is so hard to understand but you can get most of it so I think i'm in the clear. Then next class we watch a movie called Yellow Earth that's apparently a big deal, (i was not impressed but whatever) and his TA is teaching and we have no idea what he was saying because of his accent and also b/c he'd forget and lapse into Chinese. So we're all just staring at him as he keeps asking us questions and apparently to make things clearer he starts writing the answers on the board......in chinese....So Amy needs to learn Chinese apparently.
Oh another great thing here is that they have free movies in the movie theater at the Russel House. Sarah, They're showing Reign On Me the 20-23 of September and you definitely have to come up and see it again w/ me. I'll get us Football tickets. *waves imaginary tickets* Yea that was definitely one of the weirdest changes. What's the big freakin deal about the stupid football team? Our Quarterback is apparently a moronic punk that can't stay out of trouble. I don't understand why he's still on the football team if that one guy from Borat got kicked out of a Fraternity for being drunk and this idiot has assault charges and can't go to class? Oh oh i have to tell you my favorite quote from the "Daily Gamecock" (our school paper) the reporter said and I quote "Its one thing for him to disobey the law but to disobey the coach!" Oh yes, I forgot that the legal system of our country is second to whatever a leader of a sports team has to say. I about died laughing when i read that. Wonderful objective journalism.
Anywho I am definitely waaaayyy tooo wired but i need to attempt sleep therefore I shall try to write again sometime. Pshhh as if anyone reads this! Hasta Luego
