My professor for my education class expects us all to be perfect students, since of course we will want all of our students to be perfect someday, but she treats us like kindergardeners. It's really quite annoying. I'm going to actually have some "constructive criticism" for her at the end of the semester evaluations though.
My religious studies class, on the other hand expects a bunch of sophomores to understand the mysteries of the universe as well as a grad student. Thats always fun.
I made a serendipitous
discovery at lunch today in the bookstore. Buy it...or better yet, go to the library. Its wonderful. While you are at it get
this, too.
Eats(,) Shoots & Leaves is pretty much her ranting about grammer, and Talk to the Hand is her ranting about rude people. But seriously, it is hilarious.
An excerpt to entice you:
"As for the demise of 'please' you may overhear a child demanding in a supermarket at the top of its voice, 'I want THAT ONE!' Hope breifly flares when the harassed mother bellows back, 'You want that one, WHAT?' But you might have known how this would turn out. 'I want that one, YOU EFFING BITCH!' shouts the kid in response."
I don't have the book with me or I could have picked a funniest excerpt. There was something about a campaign to end littering among teenagers that had the slogan "While you're down there..." and was refering to oral sex. The poor author said she has mixed feelings because the apostrophe is there in "you're" and that is correct use of ellipses, but of course, she says, teenage promiscuity may be a high price to pay for cleaner streets. Ya, so it's a dry humor, but I love it.
Also, go listen to "Always on your Side" by Sheryl Crow...its my current "making a video in my head" project. I will probably make one after I get GOF ripped.
Here's a fun technique I've learned, and am going to be obssesed with for a while:
I'm pretty obssesed with sparkles in RL anyways...so expect to see a lot of sparkly icons in my next icon post.
Although, come to think of it I really hate how every article of clothing in the teen department is completely sparkle encrusted. It's school, not a nightclub, people.
And, just because I like it so I don't want to wait for a batch to post it in, 1 solitary emma icon:
