So we're about 2 weeks into the semester and I have a slightly crazy English professor. I decided I will share some of his best classroom comments with you.
"You get two people of different cultures together and they do two things; 1) start swapping words; 2) start having sex."
"Everyday conversation is an absolute miracle"
"Isn't that interesting" Which he repeats about 100 times per hour and fifteen minute class.
"100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 enough to make you want to drink a lot of beer."
This little quote is from my British professor of International Conflict - so picture it with the accent. We were talking about what the US says to other countries now that the world is uni-polar and we are the superpower:
"You tell the UK, Germany, and Russia you're going to do what you want. You don't like it....stuff it."
The semester continues. I had a college dems meeting tonight and was asked to help run a city council election campaign...hmmm let's see where I can add that in... I dunno.

weekend
kick ass weekend, hung out with meghan and alex.
friday drove to msu, hung out with hilary, then janet and mel, picked up meaghan and went to gvsu. traded cars with craig and drove to ludington. saw hide and seek (kinda didnt watch it all bc it was scary, more so the noises than anything). hung out at alex's for a while. went back to meghans and went to bed.
saturday, woke up at 9 am :-D took meghan and alex to their tennis thing, went snowboarding at crystal mountain, had lots of fun, hit my head on the ground kinda hard, now my neck is stiff. but it was still fun. rented dodgeball and watched it and went to bed.
sunday, went to church, ate some breakfast, went to alex's, drove to gvsu, traded cars back with craig, went to state, watched the superbowl with janet, mel, hilary and deanna...sucked bc the eagles lost, i hate the pats. made some awesome phone calls that consisted of yelling songs like "you are my sunshine" "happy birthday" "john jacob jingleheimer schmidt" "twinkle twinkle little star" random britney spears songs, and a few others. these were all left as voicemails, and when the person we were calling (mostly just ryan and stein) picked up the phone we would hang up untill it went to voicemail. we also left stein some awesome stories haha. then went to hilary's and went to sleep, now im back at school, and i have to go to class in 7 minutes.
i will leave you with this:
while driving home from crystal debating weather we missed a turn "no i remember those trees"

Akeboshi - Wind
Cultivate your hunger before you idealize.
Motivate your anger to make them all realize.
Climbing the mountain,
Never coming down.
Break into the contents,
Never falling down.
My knees're still shaking like I was twelve,
Sneaking out the classroom by the back door.
Tomorrow had the answers, but I didn't care.
Waiting is wasting for people like me.
Don't try to look so wise.
Don't cry 'cause you're so right.
Don't dry your tears with fears,
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end.
You say, "Dreams are dreams.
"I ain't gonna play the fool anymore,"
You say, "'cause I still got my soul."
Take your time, baby, your blood needs slowing down.
Breach your soul to reach yourself before you're doomed.
Reflecting on fear makes shadows of nothing.
Shadows of nothing.
You are blind if you see a winding road,
'Cause there's always a straight way to the point you see.
Don't try to look so wise.
Don't cry 'cause you're so right.
Don't dry your tears with fears,
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end.

I am so done. I am sick of being belittled and chastised for falling in love. I am sick of this riduclous drone about how leaving this country is going to endanger me and scar my child. I am sick of hearing how my parents plan to file a law suit so that I will be forced keep my child in this country. How ridiculous is this? I am almost 21 years old. I have a 1 year old child, I maintain a solid GPA and take 18 credits a semester and work at least 15 hours a week, and yet somehow this is not good enough for them to allow me to make my own decisions and choices about who I want to be with.

i just want to say.

My mom left the country this morning. This is just great. Anybody interested in taking me in for the next ten days? Bloody adults, always going somewhere they think is more interesting just to find out they're homesick by the time they get there.

NrthernPrincess: like*
guajiragoddess: mandi, tough is an ambiguous word
NrthernPrincess: i suppose
guajiragoddess: being tough is having the courage to put yourself out there, knowing that you are "tough" enough to recover if you have to
Thank goodness I have Danielle to put complex ideas into words.

And while steering clear of an "Axis of Evil" formulation, he [Bush] will speak of the nuclear showdowns with Iran and North Korea, making clear that he continues to believe both can be resolved through diplomacy.
~taken from CNN.com
Isn't it funny how we invade countries with no nuclear weapons under the farce that they have them and will use them against us, and act diplomatically towards the ones who could blow us off the face of the earth? There's a Bushism for you.

You take a mortal man and put him in Control; watch him become a god...
A neat and orderly dwelling is the sign of a disturbed mind. I totally believe that.
If you are satisfied with the amount of control you have over your life, you won't care where thigns are as long as you know where they are; it won't matter that the books aren't stacked in alphabetical order or that the needles in the pincushion aren't all parallel to one another.
When you're a neatness freak, you're only trying to take control of your life by exerting your control over your surroundings and dwelling space.
So really I'm not a slob. I'm just in control.

I love upper division classes. This semester is my first semester with a bunch of upper level courses. Why do I love them? Because it all makes sense finally. I can see how things are applied and the classes are so much looser - I feel like I am learning and applying and getting a real education for my career instead of graduated high school blah material. I have so many projects and reading and everything this semester but at least it feels like it all has a purpose instead of just the dribble of over-educated academics. It bothers me that I don't get to see Mikhail very much during the week. Carrying 18 credits and working 15 hours a week doesn't leave much time and that sucks but I guess I really have no other choice. I hate the way single mothers (parents) are portrayed as deadbeats who have nothing and make horrible parents. What about the single parents like me (not to toot my own horn but I'm proud of what I'm doing) who go to school and work and try to have a house and raise a child??? There seems to be no way to appease society. Not that I'm looking to do that but yea it does bother me. Alright I'm off my soapbox and going to get some work done.
