In less than two hours (at 3:00PM EST) I will be a free man for two beautiful weeks…two weeks to get work done around the apartment, to clean up, do laundry, read, relax, get organized…
And tonight at shabbat services we’re having Buffalo wings…
mnmmbuffalowings.
With that, time to go read Phonetic Spectrograms and discuss Formants.

I ROCKED my Arabic Exam…helllloooo B+…I can’t think of any reason why Dr. Halavais wouldn’t give me an A for TAing unless, like…I had a virgin sacrafice and didn’t invite him (which didn’t happen, so…yeah) and tomorrow after reading the Phonetic Spectrogram I can assume I have an A (knock on wood)…also am moving things aroun with grad school; it’s exciting…there’s so much going on and my note book of stuff I have to write about is exploding but if I don’t eat and get a nap in, I’m gunna die…that said…FOOD!

Today looks like it’s going to be a long, long day…it’s a good thing I’ve stocked up on Coffee.
I need to be up and moving by 8am (I think, maybe a little bit later like 9:00am) where I have to go to my office downtown and run off another few hundred flyers for the Immigrant Rights Demo (I got a lot of them done on Saturday but then I started feeling sick so I drove back to my apartment) while those are running off I need to study for my Hebrew Final (which is at 9am on Thursday).
After I know all of the Hebrew Vocab for this Semester (breathe…just breathe…breathe…) I then have to study some more from the Peter Ladefoged book so I can read one of these perfectly for for my LING499 Independent Study ‘Final Exam’ with Dr. Jaeger; mnmmFormants…Tastey.
I have a pretty good grasp of the Material for the Phonetics Ind. Study, I just need to commit the rest of it to memory. After which I need to come home and outline what I need to know for Tuesday’s Two Hour Arabic Study Session (a far longer study session than our normal ten minute study therapy sessions where we remind each other that we all have good grades in the class and that we aren’t totally retarded) and then I need to clean up my apartment for the ten or so people who are coming over for a worksession and then more Hebrew Studyage.
On Saturday Jackie and I went out for a Chinese Lunch (a huge meal for $5.45? You can’t beat it…best Chinese Food Place in B-Lo – for the locals, it’s on Maple right next to Denny’s) where we caught up with each other which was good and a much needed break…I think she’s the only one who really knows what I mean when I say things like “I got A’s and B’s all semester…yet I don’t think this semester was successful at all…WTF”
I can’t wait for Yaoi North! I can’t wait to take my Final Exams so I can get this weight off my chest, wipe the slate clean and have a fresh start this summer semester…especially since Nadia and I are studying Arabic together as a pre-emptive attack on the Material for next semester and I can get all of the Hebrew Homework done for Next Semester which will take up an exhorbitant amount of time this summer but will give me a BOATLOAD of free time next semester…I need to Spreadsheet this tomorrow and I need to brush my teeth so I can go to bed.
Nadia and I are attending the OAS (Organization of Arab Students) formal together this Saturday which should be fun (I hope there’s Dabkeh) but it’ll be nice to have a date who knows how to dance.
After This Monday I have two weeks off, then I start my Summer Linguistics Class as well as my French Class which I have for the first summer session then French Ends and I start another Linguistics Course to end the Third Summer Session and then I take First Year Second Semester French in the Spring while I start Latin and continue with Hebrew and Arabic in the Fall…and then I need to start looking for a job…it’s too bad I don’t have the body to be a stripper…their hours are compatible with when I can work…maybe I can start a 1-900 line or something.

Nadia: “Why do our Arabic Study Sessions only last 10 minutes…like every time we have one, it’s ten minutes and then we leave”
Me: “Nadia, the reason we have them is to open our books and go…’we know these words, and these words, we don’t need to know these words for the exam so we’ll study them this summer, and these six words we need to flash card and memorize and we can do that at home infrony of southpark…’ then we remind ourselves that we know the material so why the heck are we here going crazy KNOWING full well that if we over study we’ll screw ourselves; so we go home and then later study like mad the night before the exam without concern for weight gain caused by Denny’s or mental hygiene, come into class with the jitters laughing (which only serves to further confuse Prof. R), take the exam and get B+’s or in Aaron’s case an A…but that’s because he’s Aaron and actually has time and stuff…”
Aaron: “Actually, I don’t study a lot”
Me: “Aaron…you’re not helping your case here…”
