hmmm...where to start??
happy postings:
~ PSYC prof (Dr. Dean Tripp) is freakn' hilarious! i love him. so delightfully quirky, spunky, and ... odd. he'd be lecturing (which also is good lecture material - dealing with disorders, symptoms, treatments, etc) and launch into weird, and only somewhat related, anecdotes about past patients, his friends, past students, and his wife and kids. its great. hes actually so easy going that people arent afraid to put in their comments or pose questions thru-out the lecture and he'd deal with them and we'd learn more.
--> tangent e.g. : freudian slips - so that was our topic and he asked the class if anyone would like to share their embarassing experiences. so finaly this one girl volunteers and says that she had once accidentally called her new boyfriend her ex's name. he was like "see girls can get away with that, if a guy ever did that, he'd be GONE just like that. oh and speaking of calling out ex's names.. my buddy was having sex with his wife on their honeymoon and...well, i'll leave it to your imaginations" LOL
--> random outbursts: usually after a student asks a good question or makes a good comment, the prof would ask what that person's name is (guess to show that we're not all faceless numbers in a class of 450 students, anyways..) so this girl gives her name and he says "wow! Ainsley! that is SUCH a nice name. i love that name. i wish i had another daughter to give her that name. oh im sorry, i embarassed you. you
--> amazment with technology: he uses powerpoint and has finally figured out how to use a remote to control the slides such that he doesnt have to stand in front of his computer and is free to wander up and down the aisles while talking/giving his lecture. so anyways, he was SO excited at the beginning of that class "oh oh check this out. ive finally figured out how to use this" and had this arrow pop up to point to the sentences on the slide. "oooo..eh? eh? and ive figured out how to add music too but i think they may be a bit distracting. ok lets get to it".
and thru-out that lecture he kept saying "man, i LOVE this!" (yes, he does say "man")
anyways, there were more funny lil stories but ive forgotten them. too bad tmr (wed) is his last lecture. i dont think any other prof will live up to his performance. and he was commenting on how many people show up to his lectures cuz one of the TAs were like "wow, do this many students show up for each lecture??" and he had no clue that it was considered high (cuz yea, for all the other profs..they were hardly as full) and he expressed his gratitude. one kid raised his hand and said "sir, i think i speak for the entire class when i say: we love you. we do" ... hmm wonder how many people thought he was gay afterwards. anyways, regarding the comment yeah, everyone clapped to that :D
these 1.5 hrs pass by quite enjoyably i must say :D
~ nvr knew my name had such nickname potential. besides still having my HS names (which includes everything from 'wnd pooh' to 'wednesday' and is still used whenever i see those certain people), ive now acquired even more..all due to one person come to think of it. terms of endearment? lets hope so :P (hmphf "scooper". will come up with some better ones one day)
~ have found an apt for next yr and will sign soon i think. it seems a prerequisite that we live beside a shoppers. this one is even closer than the one we have now. just across the street! and zellers right beside that..oh this cant be good. anyways, will be living in the heart of downtown kingston (yes, all of ONE street) so EVERYTHING is nearby and convenient..all except for campus. haha! will actually have to make an effort to get up and get to class ON TIME next year, yech, better not think of that now. however, apt is pretty! high ceilings, stairways that lead no where, HOOJ windows for people gazing, and low low rent which includes heat and..water(? hmm dun remember now).
--> have realized that outsiders will have an even harder time understanding us (liane, lydia and me) next year since we're left to our own devices and made-up languages (or butchering of existing ones if you must). hmm i pity those who choose not to embrace us. we make life interesting dammit. (btw, those wishing to purchase life-time passes to wndland must do so soon, theyre running low)
~it has finally been brought to my attention that i do, in fact, talk REALLY fast (at times). yea sure ive been mocked by scooper, have been told numerous times by Hart to slow down, have been qiven quizzical looks by alex and others..but still, i figure its all in good fun and i cant possibly talk as fast as they claim i do. so anyways, our landlord came by pick up our rent checks..so i bounded up the stairs so as to write mine and give it to him. upon seeing him i said: hello mr. patry, how are you?" at least, thats what i thought i said, which now i figured must've come out as: 'loMrPatry,how'rYou? - or something equally slurred since he paused for about 3 sec, blinked and finally replied "oh im fine. and how are you?"
geeez, what a rude awakening. (and my self delusions of being normal have all been dashed and shattered) ah well, i guess it takes time to adjust to me, least im not "special" ;P
~ Oscars: ooooo fun. haha funny how i ended up actually watching it. was taking a nap that day and so was pretty late when i finally realized that i'd said id be over to MAHA to watch the show. anyways, 8pm rolls around and liane and i were like..ah well, we'll miss the opening sequence so then whats the point? lets not go. minutes later, A msges me and asks me why im not going. then said that show doesnt start till 8.30 and have JUST enough time to power walk it over there and watch the start. sooo...contemplated again, discussed further with liane..but laziness took over and we both said, oh forget it..lets try to get some work done instead. a minute after coming to THAT conclusion, "oh hart can come pick you guys up". well dammit!! what a way to complicate situations. so we caved, packed our backpacks and waited for honickman(!) to come pick us up. We. ARE. LAZY.
so nice of him, lotsa trouble to move cars and come get us lazybones and then A drove us home afterwards ( they were sniffing glue during the show..shhhh). mmm fuzzy feeling :D
--> yarkers, am sad that jonny depp didnt win or POTC for that matter. such a good movie. at least LOTR did a clean sweep tho some other movies were just as deserving..duno which at this point but meh.
--> pretty dresses. diane keaton is eccentric. that is all
on to..Minor rants:
~ stupid hair ties are breaking on me. the plastic ones that dont pull out your hair. needa get those that dont crap out as easily
~also about hair: want to get it cut! pissing me off..has grown out and has no style anymore..wispy and some of the straightness has worn off..am debating whether or not to get it done again. damn expensive. will see...
~ in a rut..cant seem to bring myself to do any work (possibly cuz i dont have ANYthing due this week) and has resulted in me following the pattern of sleeping, eating, watching sex and the city, surfing net. least im going to classes and outside enjoying the unseasonably warm weather (before it rains and freezes over. ice! oo fun
~lots of little things to take care of that are annoying as well as tedious and tiresome
~ have need to download new songs/albums. am so tired with what i have right now..will have to raid alex's puter soon
~ want to go...somewhere. feeling restless
looking forward to:
~ alex's belated bday "party" this coming weekend. do we know what we're doing yet? prolly not
~sistah's visit third week of march. yay! (and disturbingly, a lot of other people are looking forward to it as well..)
~better weather! so that i can wear my new boots :D tho scooper has suggested that i get them retreaded so that..i DO have treads.
