Much ado about nothing

The nothing being my life. Without school I have no heart, no focus, no drive (jplay I'm being melodramatic)http://images.paraorkut.com/img/graphics/20071111054913_gifs-animados-orkut-emo-02.gif
p.s. weird emo cartoon was a joke!
Well okay so I really have zip to write about.
TODAY my mom started her new job, which is good, but she says it's boring. Right now she's just taking tests and things for legal reasons I think, so hopefully soon she'll get to helping people! Yesterday I was basically cornered into going to this alumni thing for the theater program at my high school and it was very unsettling #1 because I had to walk there in arctic winds at end-of-the-world caliber because I don't have my license yet (gross) #2 is that most of the people that were there I planned on basically counting out of my life so that was interesting.
My Arabic Film & Lit professor was Egyptian and super ESL and he would say that something was "interesting" at inappropriate times EXAMPLE: Oh none of you finished the book that's... interesting or this DVD player isn't working... interesting. He's actually really funny/adorable and has a hilarious accent, I feel bad that I got an A even though I slept through a few classes and turned in my midterm late because it was on the same day as Drawing and 3D.
Changing topics with this segway segue:http://assets.nydailynews.com/img/2007/05/17/amd_segue.jpg ... puns.
I went over to Thomas' for some hot tubing, and subsequently received large servings of awkward with a side of weird and trace amounts of surprise! Bad metaphor aside, two of my friends made out while I was in the room. This turned out to be not actually that bad (I'm happy for them?) but was just a little strange because I witnessed it. And not expecting it. But besides that it's fine!

So tomorrow I hope to start to teach myself French with Rosetta Stone. This is step one toward me living in Paris and being a famous artiste! Wow so sorry to disappoint all of nobody that reads this, I really need to get a life because this is actually the worst blog post ever.
Going in the city to get glasses tomorrow at this place called Moscott, my dad got his glasses there and they also make glasses for the Mad Men cast (!). I'm going to look as distinguished as:http://www.clusterflock.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/harry_s2_517x307.jpg .
I'm going with my all time sunshine Ms. Hye Yeon Glass, so it will be fun x 6 for all!
p.s. my dad tried to tell my sister to sign offline in AIM lingo but ended up saying : "Tell her ta ta!" in his very best accidental cocktail party voice. So there's something for all none of you to think about.

Delicious and Nutritious!

So... college life. Very busy, very little time for blogging in the first week! I have ten minutes before I have to get ready to leave for breakfast so I might as well unload now. THIS WEEK HAS BEEN INSANE. Let's review:
Arabic Film & Lit- The teacher just moved here from Egypt, his accent is funny ("you should be weading a wittle bit evewy night"). He's a good teacher ( so far) but I haven't read the book because Amazon is an idiot. On Saturday I received a package (which was the book I need for that class) but "Patrick" the RA who was on duty in the mail room said they were closed and wouldn't open again until tuesday. BUT, he was standing IN the mail room when he said that and I could practically SEE my package right behind him! (Additionally, we're supposed to have the book read by Wednesday, so you can see why I'm pissssed)
Dissent in America- I got the book for that class! It's cool, it's supposed to be an English class, but so far it's more like a history class (which is fine). The funniest part in that classs is Creepy Steve. Let me tell you about Creepy Steve. He's a short stoner guy who lives in my wing and he is creepy, and I'm talking world class. It's not so much what he says but how he says them... (Example: when he found out I was an art major, gave me a million up-downs and said "We should have drawing parties") It turns out he is a "graffiti artist", a few days ago, he told me exactly HOW to get to one of his "works". He proudly showed me a piece he was working on the other day, it said Stupid Cunt (with an upside down temple T... school spirit?). This was the same day he decided to paint both of my arms in yellow paint, with his fingers (apparently, no permission necessary for this.) while saying "You're a canary! You're a leopard!" Okay Steve. After he was done, he told me that he tried to paint a penis on one arm (?!) but it didn't work out (...) This is just the pinnacle of his creepiness, but there are just things he says everyday that never let a person forget just how creepy Creepy Steve really is.
Drawing- Can you say 500 drawings?! I'm up to 206, and I have to have them finished by the end of today. That's all I'm going to say about that class or I WILL cry... and that's a promise.
2D- Oh, Katie Murken... what can I say about that crazy chick? At first I thought she was kind of cool in a subdued, monotone kind of way. But Ryan's roomie (whose clothes I fold when he's out... just for fun! It also freaks him out some... bonus!) who's a sophomore, said that she's an insanely crazy teacher. We have this slightly bs assignment where we have to experiment with different media and point, line, plane, and volume. BUT it can't be representational... it can't really be anything it seems. She didn't want to explain it to us to prevent us from being "tainted". Alright Katie.
3D- Another cool teacher that's potentially a crazy smut. But hey, aren't we all?
Our first assignment is creating multiples of a modular form that can be stacked in a vertical column as well as laid out in a horizontal pattern. That's cool I guess, but I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing. (awesome!).
So that's my life so far. Read it and weep!
