Today was a cool day at school. Instead of going to class the professor let us go so we could attend a lecture given by Philip Levine, the 18th poet laureate of the United States. This was such a rare opportunity considering our school doesn't get people of that high a caliber visiting campus. I was glad the professor let us go. He read some...

haha yessss <3 what an amazing episode x
pokai:
Glad to see someone not complaining about the episode. I'm tired of people whining about the pace. Its a character driven story. I guess some people can't appreciate the development.

I've been hearing that the new Tomb Raider is awesome.

So about six hours after I finally started and two or three hours less than I expected, I managed to get through a 300 page book in one sitting. Which means that I'm no longer screwed for tomorrow's class. Though I will be very tired. And what a book! Murderous vegans (oh yeah, you heard right), bombs in elephants, and some boogie woogie feng shui!...

Sounds like a great class you're doing! Sounds much more interesting than the BSc (Honours) Computing & IT with Software Management as a second subject that I'm studying part time for. smile
themainman:
Good point, haha! I wouldn't count on my degree getting me a better job faster though. I'm nearly finished my 1st module and I've got another 5 years studying to go after this.
Hope you don't have to wait too long for someone to retire or die... biggrin

Crap crap crap!!!! So I kind of sort of failed to notice that I had another book to read this week, another 300 pages. So in addition to figuring out who my detective is going to be (which I've made good progress on by the way) and where the story is going to take place for Tuesday's class, I have 200 pages to read and...

yes i'll be ok wink thanks!
ahah i hate that unirform but i can't do anything about it tongue
nirvash:
The worst! I wish you luck in your endeavor. If I had any advice that worked, I'd share, lol.

It was a good marathon, and helped that I was sick at the time. Maybe Firefly can help you with your presentation! Wolfwood presents the socio politico effects of secret government programs on independent transporters! Totally legit.

Well shit... I know I was excited that the final project for my international detective class was writing a short story. But honestly, I haven't really put any thought to it yet. Now the professor springs on us that on Tuesday we have to present our detective to the class. This includes a physical description, background info, etc. We also have to talk about the...

I love when a professor really cares about what they do. She seems like a winner and in a world of half-assed instructors she stands out. And she probably needs a raise, lol. I'm glad you're having fun in that class!

The strange shit we see at night... my friend and I were out for a pack of cigarettes about an hour or so ago. On the way back to my place we see this asshole truck driver who tailgates us for a while before changing lanes and speeding past us. Now, I don't know about you, but from time to time I try to will...

Sounds like you made it out of the house. I think a lot of people get stuck staying home all the time because they feel like they can't ever go out and do things alone. The next time you feel stuck at home, try going out on your own. You'll have the freedom to go wherever you want. Plus, you might meet new people.

I'm ok now smile

How's this for some crazy weather. Yesterday it rained all day, today it was dusty as hell. So very windy and dusty that the sun was blocked by a wall of dust. And when I get out of class tonight, it starts snowing. Wtf? At least it made for a cool drive home.

So today I heard the best explanation for why I'm an English...

Always so very far behind in my reading... This week we're reading Buried Strangers, a Detective Fiction novel from Brazil. Interesting so far, but good god the corruption and politics that are involved in just the first 80 pages are amazing. I have no illusions about U.S. police, they're probably just as corrupt as everywhere else (if not more so), but it's so overt in...

The book sounds good. At least they're not hitting you with the classics. Some of those novels are godawful never ending pains in the ass. Just how they became classics is quite beyond me.
deucomatic:
Don't get me started on Moby Dick, it's going everything going for it, high seas, adventure, a terrifying large sea mammal and bam! The most mind desiccatingly laborious piece of shit ever! I feel you're pain.

What an exciting life I lead... SIGH. I spent my Friday playing Aliens Colonial Marines online with a friend, we beat it, it was awesome. And now I've spent my Saturday reading Thomas Paine's Rights of Man... after reading Burke last week, it's awesome and all hearing Paine trash his arguments, but still... I need a life.
