School n Such

Ugh, that n in the title is kind of gross.

I'm sitting in the upper part of the agora on some chairs that I hope aren't real leather but probably aren't because of the ghetto of the school in general. The other day there were two people getting a tour of the school both wearing floor length fur coats. Ugh. Sometimes I forget that there are people who just don't give a shit at all about meat and fur and stuff.

I only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays so that's pretty ok. I write out the full day names because at work I sent out an email that said I was available Mon/Wed/Fri and some teacher sent me back a message that said "I assume you mean Monday, Wednesday and Friday." I'm pretty sure that those are perfectly accepted abbreviations. I ASSUME BY JAN, SEPT, AUG YOU MEAN JANUARY SEPTEMBER AND AUGUST.

There is a really gross sore in my mouth where I bit it a few days ago and this morning a large chunk of skin came off of it which almost meant that I would have vomited 4 times in 2011 so far instead of just 3.

This blog post is pretty lackluster but I made it one of my 43 things goals to keep up on it so here it is.

One happy thing: I am stoked on the Geography class I am taking, it's like all the appealing parts of science without labs or math.

And another: I stopped being photo editor for the newspaper which reduces my stress load like crazy.

I neglect this shit because it sucks
