So I haven't actually posted something legit here that is about my life and whatnot.
It's two weeks into the semester and I will admit that my schedule is not the pain train I'm used to from Sophomore year. As thankful for that as I am, I feel unproductive and like I'm not doing enough. The photography class I'm taking is digital and filled with Stern finance students, and the teacher has never even been in a dark room. Happy though I am for the fact that I will not become a chemically mutated moleperson this semester, its sad to know that this is the way of the future and dark room time has been converted to photoshop lessons. I pray will will do more than learn how to make a very pretty myspace photo.
Drawing class is something I needed to take because I've never had a drawing class before I developed actual fine motor skills. I feel this can help with the creating of the comic (which actually counts towards the stuff in my sketchbook) and other things. The only qualm I have with drawing classes is that it doesn't really nurture the idea of creating, just recreating. I guess that's why me teacher is as placid as can be about whether or not we actually draw the things infront of us.
The psychopathology lab is interesting. It's taught by the teacher I had for abnormal psychology whom I dubbed the embodiment of psychological commentary. In this lab however, they hope to help the writing of the students into APA format and for concise and eloquent papers. They've enlisted an English professor as well to look over our lab reports...which I think is pretty cool but still odd. He is the embodiment of a novelist...I'm not kidding. He's younger than Kellogg with the sharp pointed nose, slightly longer combed hair, the small reading glasses, the tweed jacket with the elbow patches, an awkward and never complimentary to his shirt tie, and those things that keep your socks up...and penny loafers. I can't remember his name for the life of me right now. He and Kellogg stand next to each other and comment about "celebrity rehab" which is the greatest overheard conversation in the world (I'll post it when I get his name and find my syllabus). This class is data entry into SPSS, which would go fast if 80% of the students did not respond to modems by getting doe-eyed and mumbling "com-pew-tar"? Needless to say I'm in charge of the data entry for our group since it was my internship for all of 2 semesters ago. The class period is 2 hours long, on a good day lecture takes 30 min and data entry and analyzing takes 15-20 and then go home and cook chicken parm til my next class at 4.
Medieval Misogyny speaks for itself, as if I wasn't aware people hated women during any era, in the words of XKCD "epoch failure". If its medieval I don't know why we are starting with the book of Genesis because I'm fairly sure that is was written before feudalism became an issue and more when all people who knew ol' JC were running from persecution. We could start there I guess since it's the base of the knowledge in the renaissance and an even more common subject of art (thats obvious) and literature (See convivio by dante). Women are evil, we are blamed for the fall of man and also blamed for having bodies men want. Yes, so far based on the punishments of God, we get "pangs at child birth" and men get to toil the earth to eat and try not to be distracted by us. Put blinders on, BAM half the problem gone.
I'm also looking for a real job. Being a senior I didn't get as many hours as I had hoped because they are trying to phase out the old workers to make way for the new ones that know what they are doing. Fine by me, but I need to pay my bills somehow. Coming back from Winter break I'm still operating on one paycheck and had to make chicken selects from McD's last all day. That was a low day, but whatever it happens. The books I got in exchange weren't so bad, I'm most excited about the APA manual...yes, more interested in the APA manual than "romance of the rose", I fail at this female thing. Also taken to working out 3 days out of the week, which is fun cuz I'm training for brown belt and enjoying the mats at coles. However, Will has decided that training should be done to an extreme and makes sure none of us can walk for a good while afterward.
I'm also playing kingdom hearts 2 final mix +
which is GREAT, its like OMG yay crack.
That's about it.
The webcomic has a blog now, I have no idea where my future will be, and Sora makes me happy.
cos you can’t go taking it back
there’s a time and a place for that
well don’t you wanna be relevant oh no ~ the cribs
