[insert clever title here]
Jun. 25th, 2005 01:54 amHee! The Guild is showing Meet the Feebles this weekend. I'm thinking about going tomorrow (or... technically... today) if only for the sodomy song. And to marvel at what a vast difference there is between Feebles and LotR.
I haven't written about it because I'm lazy, but Meg & Co. were here a couple of weeks ago. They were here for not much more than a day, but it was much fun. Showed them the usual spots, had lunch with Sarah and Meghan and dinner with my parents. Meg kept talking about how she liked, well, everything. I didn't get any homework done, but feh. That turned out not to matter anyway. And now I have a shiny new water bottle with the "communism, atheism, free love" seal on it, and Meg has shiny new Devil Duckie shot glasses.
One week of Anthro 130 left, and then I won't know what to do with myself. But, at least I won't be surrounded by idiots. Well, not everyone in the class is dumb, but there are several who are, like the ones who bitch about the reading. And the ones who talk about really needing to pass the class, but not exactly doing the work necessary to do so. The essays on the exams? Not that difficult, as long as you say something about every part of the question. Beyond that, all that's required is that you include both a subject and a verb in each sentence, and put sentences into paragraphs. There's not even a "well-organized" proviso. It makes me sad inside, really. It also makes me sad that some people in the class seem to think that the expectations are too high for a 100-level class. Which... no. But I guess I'm just a snob like that. Also, the football coaches come to check on the football players every day to make sure they come to class. It must have been fun for them to chase us around to the four different classrooms we've been in on our quest to find a comfortably-sized room with air conditioning. We've ended up in the Hibben Center, which is nice but for the first couple days we were there was locked.
In the small accomplishments department, I upgraded to Tiger last week. Haven't had much time to mess around with the new features though, except to keep checking the weather widget to watch the temperature change and obsessively look up words on the dictionary widget. And open and close widgets to watch the ripple effect. This week I finally got a public library card, which was faster than I'd expected. And I finally got rid of my giant pile of coins. Turns out I'd had something like $70 sitting on the dresser. (And oh, will I be needing that.)
And in conclusion, ( quiz )
