ways of dying

posted March 24

I’d like to thank all of you for your wonderful comments! What an overwhelming response, heh. Although I really couldn’t have done ANY of this (or even discovered txp) without the help of my friend Sumaiya, so thank you :) MARGIN BOTTOM FOREVER!!!!! (insider…hahaha)

I went to my counselor this morning and found out that I had to take yet another dang english class. You think as smart educators they’d figure it out that us art peeps don’t really care for the english language, let alone researching anything in that language (specially those evil papers), we just draw stuff. But nah, they keep piling on the classes. It’s like “oh okay Jess, you need an intro to web design, visual communication…oh and the history of dolphins.”

My current “Ways of Knowing Dying: The concepts of culture” class is quite the LOL part of my life. I get to sit for 3 hours and watch people make conversation about absolutely nothing.

Fly over to Japan and sit in a lecture room where they’re talking in Japanese. You really don’t know what the hell is going on, yea? That’s how I feel. Every. Day. In that class. Maybe in fact they are speaking in Japanese and I’m processing some kind of psychological illness…

Anyway, I’m all up for a good debate. Who would win in a fist fight: Lindsay or Hilary? Who’s hotter? MATT OR BRAD?? Yea I could put up a good argument. I could actually find something to argue about right now, but in that class, I find it somewhat impossible to give proper responses, and receive normal ones. DAMN they take the most confusing stuff and make it even more confusing.

The first problem is that I never know what the hell anyone is talking about. And I am not alone. Alex is in the back drooling in his sleep, Christina is over there blogging about nature or whatnot from her little iphone and Josh was feeling lucky just to get to class cause he got locked in a bathroom for 3 hours just a few days ago.

They should rename that class to Ways of not knowing anything: Concepts of sleep, drool, and lots of Advil.

SO obviously, not knowing what the heck anyone is talking about, it’s kinda hard to come up with stuff to say. Last time I remember they had an argument about Walmart. Yea. They had a freakin trivial word fest all about Walmart. I was like what the hell is going on!??!?!!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The world has bigger issues than Walmart right about now.

The fact that the class takes peoples weird experiences and tries to turn them into something worth speaking about – strangely relating to the class when it really doesn’t, well, it just makes me want to drop out and work as a school mascot. I’m all for interesting chat but I’m not one to over analyze something. I take things for how they are, and that’s pretty much it. See the sun? I’m not going to ask why it’s orange. I also won’t ask why t-shirts are worn why they are worn or what happens in society, cause I don’t have time to care. I have paper to pay for and cds to burn. It’s a tough life.

Well, I’ll be taking yet another fascinating english class in the spring. So My summer break won’t technically start until June 26th.

    Yeah, well, you sometimes have to do things in life that you don’t want to do.

  2. Ah, your college seems so confusing, haha. I think I felt like I was in Japan taking most of my classes anyway, lol. Especially math, I’m a complete idiot when it comes to that. Gah, that reminds me, I don’t know what I want to do in college. How did you decide what you wanted to major in? Or has graphic design always been what you wanted to do?

  3. Hmm well…it was the last week before I graduated when a teacher came up to me and asked if I checked out an art college. She said I’d be good for it so I gave it a look. Design was something huge for me in high school, but I didn’t think I could go through with a career, thank god she came up to me…I don’t know where I’d be otherwise, eep!

  5. oh, I feel your pain… I am like that in my shakespeare class. I mean, Will is my homeboy, but not at 6:05 pm every wednesday night, right before American Idol starts :P

    and I have to RETAKE Intro to film studies. I took it my first semester of college, but it was a different prefix than the one I have to take next semester, even though it’s essentially the exact same class. The one I took before was FMS 100, and this one is ENH 230 (apparently it counts as an English Humanities course?!?!? um, ok….), and now that I’m a different major and at a different campus, the first class won’t freakin cross over. So I’m very upset, but oh well, I’ll survive, as I’m sure you will too!

  7. Aww. I know how you feel sometimes. I have no idea what I am doing in Biology, but that’s a completely different story from what you are living in.
    Anyways, I love the new layout. I just wish you would take down the Myspace layouts. They bug me for some reason. I just never saw Swimchick as a site for Myspace Layouts I guess..

  12. Sorry that class is so frustrating for you :/ But, I really like learning how things work, you know? That way, you’re informed, and you don’t go through life just accepting what people tell you, you KNOW why they’re telling you that xD Idk, I guess that’s just the kind of person I am.

    Wow that really sucks about your summer break starting so late O.O When does it usually start? Sheesh!
