"And I said no salt, NO salt on the margarita, but it had salt on it, big grains of salt, floating in the glass..."

So I am now 9 days into my sophomore year and all is going well. Some classes are better than others, but right now they're mostly the same. Everyone wants to introduce the same crap that every other classes introduces at the beginning of the year (i.e. significant figures, scientific method, etc.). So all my classes are over-lapping with the same crap that I've been learning for the past 5 years, which makes things boring as hell. Come on people! I don't pay an arm a leg to be pampered through my education. I'm ready to be bitch slapped with a shit-load of work and forced to stay awake all night pouring over textbooks and various complicated documents. Givitome!

*shit-load of work flies through window and knocks her unconcious*

*regains conciousness*

Spanish is a fun class. The professor gets really angry at us when we don't understand him (which is a large percentage of the time). And then he yells at us in Spanish and English, but you can't really tell the difference between the two when he starts speaking, and so then we all get even more confused. Then he starts cursing us under his breath and shaking his head in disappointment. At first it was really upsetting (yes, there were tears), but now it's just kind of amusing. I have this theory that he's relying on systematic degradation to shame us all into learning the language. Brilliant!

Today in my Human Development class, we were talking about the development and study of "children of color". And then someone approached the professor (during a short break) and explained how the term "children of color" was offensive to her. So the professor rephrased after the break and said "minority children", and then someone else raised their hand and declared that that was also offensive. And you can't say African-American anymore because not everyone is from Africa. So I just don't know what to say... *white and confused*

This year, I've resolved to blame all of my (academic) problems on people from New Jersey. Because if it weren't for people from New Jersey, with their private schools and their other private schools disguised as "magnet schools" and their upper-middle class education, I might actually be getting an A every once in a blue moon. But no. They have to show up with their 4 years of advanced chemistry, and their superior preparation and out do the rest of us that come from humble public school origins.

Yes, I could blame B'Wood. Or myself. But I choose Jersey! They 'ad it comin'.
