Wow, what a day (I’m totally exhausted and it isn’t even 7pm yet…my body just isn’t ready for the season change, with darkness falling as early as 5pm). Anyways, a quick update before class:

I awoke this morning to a giant clap of thunder, turning to look outside my window (at around 6:30am) I found an ark of animals floating by, slightly concerned, I rolled over and went back to bed.

Reawaking at 9:30am I realized that the ark of animals was now making another pass by my apartment…I waived at the baby giraffes and wombats and came to the realization that perhaps, just maybe, today was not the day to walk to south campus and take the bus. So I got dressed and called the cab company and shelled out the 14.95 required to get to North Campus from my apartment…money well spent, I arrived nice and dry.

I went to class, where really, as days go by, I just want to hit the smirk off the face of our teaching assistant. I mean, I’m cocky, I’ll freely admit that…he just takes pompus to a whole new level. I did however, receive my second assignmeng grade 97.5% – which now means that I have an A in the course.

Which means that my grades, thus far are:

Ling Analysis I: A (97.5%)

Ling Analysis II: A (95.0%)

Sociolinguistics/Fieldwork: A (107.0%)

Arabic: who knows, probably a B+

If I can get Arabic to an A…I’ll be very happy. It’ll be nice to have straight A’s this semester.

I have class in around 40 minutes (Ling Anal II) with Kang…I need an I.V. of Caffeine before hand though if I’m going to make it through awake and as pleasant as possible.

More updates later…possibly after I pass out.

Ohh…I get assignment II back from Kang today…we’ll see how that one went.

Peace out all.

Frat Boy Mayhem Part I

So the past few days, Tuna from AEPi, has attacked me with the pre-inked “For Deposit Only” stamp in the Hillel office. Most of the other frat boys I could probably take down, Tuna however is six feet three (to my five feet five), and about a billion and a half lbs (on a good day), which means that when he holds me down and stamps me, there isn’t really much I can do about it (it’s like attempting to pick up and carry a beached whale with a goiter, it’s NOT going to happen).

The war is on…if he were at all athletic the answer would be a simple icey-hot application to the jockstrap and a nair injection to the shampoo; however since he hasn’t seen the inside of a gym since kindergarten and whether or not he bathes on a frequent enough basis to warrant getting into the frat house, and making the effort is highly suspect, so that won’t do either.

This will require thought, planning, and guile…and perhaps some help…we’ll see…

The war is on!
