dhs said 'it is so there' today. i find this amusing beyond all comprehension.

nota bene: this is a boring entry. just ask shawn. :)

here is my final final final schedule, and i mean it. ;) i am taking a masochistic 18-hour load, but i'm not too worried about it. the other big decision is to pursue the teaching english as a foreign language certificate, which i first heard about at the study abroad lunch last week and have been thinking about a lot since then. it sounds like an amazing experience! so i'll take four classes for that over the next few semesters and if all goes well i'll teach in a spanish-speaking country the summer after my junior year. i emailed dr. r3es-mil1er to get more info and her advice on how to schedule the linguistics classes in. so that's exciting!

so this is it:

(i didn't want to bore anyone by including the final final final final schedule in another entry, so i'm going to update this as i continue to change my mind every damn day of my life... ;)

last night in stats dr. pitasky came in to do an evaluation on dr. johnson, which really made me happy. i feel bad criticizing the man because the reason he is a bad teacher is because of his manner of speaking and acting - it's a personal problem. but the fact remains, he's a terrible teacher, i can't learn from him, and i would have gotten a lot more out of the class with any other professor. he's a smart man, he knows what he's doing, but i don't think he's meant to be a teacher. i wrote on the evaluation: 'i very sincerly recommend you do not hire dr. johnson back.' and i hope they don't. it does students a great disservice. i'm not suffering as much as i might because i'm able to teach myself the material, but it could seriously screw someone who can't over.

erin informed me that shawn and i are 'together.' apparently everyone in the school was aware of this except for shawn and i. good to know. :P

well... i really wish i could write about my fascinating adventures and love life, but you see, i have neither. shawn, i promise i'll give it a try tomorrow - i will try the diane existence, wake up and say 'i'm in love! i'm going to have an adventure today!' what the hell, couldn't be worse than what i'm doing now. which, basically, is listening to the royal tenenbaums soundtrack over and over and wasting my life on the internet. right. you're going to have to go elsewhere to be entertained today, boys and girls.

you say you know what he did, but you idiot kid, you don't have a clue. sometimes they just get caught in the eye, you're pulling him through. needle in the hay...
