Optimism

Things I'm liking about 2nd semester:

1. I finally figured out that the very odd-shaped Harper logo is actually an "H" in the negative space in the middle.

2. My English lit professor uses slang and Harry Potter references to help us understand Beowulf.

3.  The length of Weezer's album, Raditude, is almost exactly the same amount of time that I have for lunch on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Pessimism

Things I'm not liking about 2nd semester:

1. My textbooks cost $440 which takes me 55 hours of working at Harper to make.

2. I actually have to work at my Harper job instead of going on Facebook.

3. My speech professor is the kind of person who is just too happy and nice about everything. You know what kind of person I'm talking about. It annoys me.

Fun fact

In my dream last night, I wrote a new blog post. I wish I remembered what it was because this is the lame post you get now.

PS: I have about 5 ideas for blog posts. I'm just too lazy to write them.

PS again: I had a better dream two nights ago where I got to fly and save the day by killing an evil woman with red streaks in her hair after a mid-air battle. Good imaginary times.

Updates from the middle ear

I took a shower today. Everyone around me is very thankful to be rid of the smell for it had been my first shower in a week. It has been six days since my ear surgery and I could tell I felt better today by my increasing annoyance at my mother.

My ear surgery was mainly to put in a prosthetic ear bone to replace a damaged one. It's titanium. So now my Uncle Pablo thinks we have so much in common because his wedding ring is titanium. Let's just hope my hearing works better than his marriage.

Blame it

I didn't have any New Years plans so I spent it with my family. This has its perks:

Chinese food -actually that didn't turn out so good. My vegetable dinner was pretty much just broccoli

Telestrations- this is a funny game combining telephone and drawing. We also played this with the kids at Christmas, but I think it is slightly more enjoyable when you don't have an annoying 13 year old writing things like "horse penis"

Alcohol- My parents finally decided to let us try some champagne. It was my first experience with a beverage of this sort. And it tasted...like vomit. I only had a few sips. Yet I somehow ended up with my mother recording me singing and dancing?
