School...bah
It had to happen eventually...As soon as I had finished exams I knew that at some point I was going to have to back to school. All in all today went fairly well though. I got a welcome surprise in my Mass Com class this morning when Prof. Dorland, whom I had last semester, reappeared, saying that the prof who was supposed to take over the class went on sick-leave, so we're going to have him for another semester. I didn't particularly care for Prof. Dorland last semester, at least as far as teaching styles are concerned, but I did like his attitude towards the makeup of the course. The first order of business was to again declare 8:30 a.m. an ungodly hour for anyone to learn, and moved the class back to 9...sweeeeeeet. Second was to announce that he would be continuing to use the same textbook as last semester, meaning I don't have to fork over another $80 for a book I'm probably only going to open twice, right before the exam...double sweeeeeeet. Lastly I'm just glad to have him back because even though I'm not really compatible with his teaching style, at least it's familiar and I know what to expect from the semester and, more importantly, from the exam. Très sweeeeeeeet.Of course in the usual first-day-back fashion, class was only an hour long, so I was out of there by 9:30 with nothing on the horizon for the 5 hour break I now had before my 2:30 j-school class. I decided the best thing would be to go home and go back to sleep, which I did, followed by some exercise and then food.
J-school class #1 was OK. For the next four weeks I'll be doing C.A.R. (computer assisted reporting) which, again, I have no real affection for, but am not unhappy to have. See, as boring and monotonous as this class will most likely be, I don't actually have to write any stories, which means no panicking while waiting for sources to get back to you, no chasing government officials around the city, and best of all, no realizing two hours before your deadline that you have no story. Yea...I'll be having enough of that in radio broadcasting to do me for the next little while I expect.
But enough about school, I also did other fabulously unproductive things today...most of which involved sitting in front of the TV and squealing. A new episode of Lost aired tonight, the first one in about three weeks I think. Lost is an awesome show, but I'd have to say this episode kind of blew...I was hoping for something better after such a long hiatus. Plus the fact that Clare is still out there missing and no one seems to care except Boone and Locke. I mean, what happened to Jack's raging "this-is-all-my-fault-I-have-to-find-her-even-if-it-kills-me" thing? It was like they found Charlie (which I am definitely NOT complaining about, let me tell you!) and then just decided that one-outta-two ain't bad and that those crazy Canuks would undoubtedly let her go sooner or later. I mean sure, the whole thing with Kate and the briefcase was kinda cool, but it's nothing we didn't know already. FIND CLARE PEOPLE!! Canadians are unpredictable!! The cold gets to their heads and they can do some pretty crazy shit! And the whole thing with Charlie and the crazy lady who thinks her husband's still alive, while it may have been touching for some, did absolutely nothing for me. In short: shape up people. AND FIND CLARE!
The other thing I did tonight was watch the last hour of ROTK: EE with my pop. We'd stopped after the battle at Pelennor Field last time, so I had yet to see the part I'd been waiting the most for: the Mouth of Sauron scene. Shelob now has competition for the CREEPIEST THING EVER!!! I mean LOOK:
Ok people: THAT'S CREEPY!
Ewwwwww...I can't even look at it. He was soooo evil, though I must say I busted a gut when Aragorn nonchalantly sidled up beside him and lobbed off his head (Gimli: "Well I guess that's the end of negotiations"...awesome!!). I watched the scene two more times after we'd finished watching the rest of the movie, and I just can't get over the creepiness. By far the best EE scene of any of the DVDs. Kudos PJ!
Alright, that's enough rambling for one night. I'm gonna hit the sac, though there's no real rush seeing as I don't have class until 11:30 tomorrow...soooo sweeeeeeeeeeeet!
G'night, and may all your Sauron's be mouthy...
WHAT?
