What's Goin On
As of right now.... (wait...bold?...can't unbold?....damnit. Ok, so it looks like the rest of this post is gonna be in bold font. For some reason my nifty little blogspot composition tool has decided that my words were not thick enough. If this text is not bold when published or if there is a sudden dissapearance of bold lettering later in the post, disregard this notice.)... As of right now, I have been to at least one meeting of every one of my second semester classes. This semester I have Lifetime Wellness, Chemistry 113, Bio 201 (Cell), Intro to Christianity, English 102, Honors Seminar, and my labs for Chem and Bio. This gives me a total of 17.5 credit hours this semester, which is the same as last semester. I'm pretty excited about my Chem and Bio classes (Chem is full of people I know and at least three other Pharm Scholars - Cell Bio is a notoriously hard class, and I'm fairly excited to see how it works out for me) As always, I have classes that don't excite me in the least. At the top of list of classes that make me want to ram a flathead screwdriver deep, deep into my ear canal is Intro to Christianity. Although I am lucky enough to have a young guy (Wayne County native - Southern Wayne I believe) teaching the class, the timing could not be any worse. Intro is the last class of my 13 hour Tuesday. I wake up on Tuesday mornings for an 8 AM lab, I do not have time to do anything besides walk from class to class and grab lunch. I get to end this wonderful day every week by sitting in Intro from 6-9 PM and listen to Bible stories. One good thing came from my first Intro class however; if my first child is a boy, he will be named Isaac, in the Hebrew : laughter.
Aside from my classload, which is admittedly intimidating, but nothing impossible by any means, I will have to do some things for Pre-Pharm club, go to tutoring sessions for Bio on Thursday nights (Guzman offers virtual extra credit for attendance of tutoring sessions), meet with fellow cell student Trusha Dhanani (my newest brown friend , sorry if i butchered your last name) to discuss lecture notes and pre-labs, and do several community service projects with the honors program. I'm gonna be busy, but I implore you to please kick me (or e-kick me) if I fail to post regularly.
At This Particular Place and Time
As I type this, I am sitting in the back room of Marshbanks dining hall. I had a wonderful breakfast after getting out of my first Chem lab approximately 2 hours early. I have class today and a paper to write for English that is due tomorrow. I am preparing myself mentally for the excellent weekend ahead. This weekend will be comprised of a trip to the beach with several comrades of mine (some fairly new, Check back soon for my post-beach blog where I will make my first official reflections on newcomers Olivia and Sean(female)). It's gonna be the coldest weekend of the year apparently and I'm gonna be living it up in the beach house of the incredibly kind Bobby Jay Hardy.
Music News
When I was home over the break I was able to resume my seedy and despicable life of music downloading (Note : at the beginning of this year the RIAA announced that they have officially ended their campaign of sueing individual music downloaders. I have no idea why they decided to call it quits on the overwhelmingly successful campaign that was responsible for filing suits against single mothers, grandparents,those without internet services, and at least two deceased people....dead people...guys...seriously? ... dead. ridiculous.) During my spree of stealing and pillaging of copious amounts of music, I gathered nearly the entire Bright Eyes discography. He's amazing. Great writer, incredible delivery. He tends to focus more on his intense sadness or at the very least discontent often times, but I would much rather have to accept his near-constant negativity then have to put up with half a song full of bullshit optimism. Listen to him, seriously. I reccommend the album I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning and if you're feeling extra blue-state the song "When The President Talks to God".
In my final music news for today, I scream as loudly as humanly imaginable at you to go listen to Lizzie Huffman. She is the voice behind Nidria in the Razia's Shadow Musical, and she makes me want to pelvic thrust in the general direction of whatever speaker her voice is flowing from. My best description of her is a tatted up white girl who sounds like Lauryn Hill if she had been striving to break into the country music scene. Her voice is like velvet...or sex.....or velvet sex. She has two musical projects. I tend to prefer her solo(kinda) stuff, but both are great. Here are links to both:
Lizzie Huffman and Her Brother Band
Shout outs - Shae Manion I'm gonna see you - promise, Wah pedals, the MillerCoors corporation, Barack Obama you're on soon, Get well soon Steve Jobs, Jimmy Adams - "the man , the enigma"
I've spent over two hours at Marshbanks two meals in a row now,
(again, sorry for the bold)
