01/14/2009 period started. and looking back on last month, that's just about right. good job body. i knew it was coming when i felt compelled to watch awakenings last night just so i could cry. i fucking love that movie. can i name my top movies? i think it's probably a weird list. clue the phantom tollbooth the fifth element awakenings born invincible somehow i know there are more, but i can't think of them right now. and then there is the movie i'm currently watching to death. it changes. notable titles that have held the spot: disney's alice in wonderland and the three caballeros, breakin' and breakin' 2: electric boogaloo, murder by death, flash gordon, brain candy, tombstone, napoleon dynamite, the endless summers 1 & 2 and the rocky horror picture show (it's only masturbation). i'm only taking one class this term. college algebra. allll the way back to the beginning we go. and i'm really excited about it. i think it's going to be pretty easy and i'm most of all looking forward to mastering this so it will no longer be my closet demon. being stupid in math and smart in everything else in school wreaked havoc on my self-esteem. i could never understand why i wasn't getting it. so back in the day, after i took college trig for the third time and finally passed with a C, my professor suggested i go to the learning lab and get tested for a few things. numbers dyslexia. and it made sense because i was also working at harris and whenever i had to do data entry i would have tons of mistakes because i flipped numbers around. it's not as bad these days. i'm self-conscious about it so i pay more attention. my biggest stumbling block is phone numbers. whether i'm checking a voice message at work or putting someone's number into my phone, i have to be extremely careful. the worst thing about voicemails are people are so familiar with their own number they just rattle it off really quickly and sometimes slur the words together. so they are difficult to understand and i have to listen three times. once to get it down, the second time to correct the problems, the third time to check. it's kind of annoying, but it prevents mistakes. i'd rather have this than letters dyslexia. with as much as i like to read and write, i would go mad. or perhaps i'd do proofs in my spare time. anyway, that was all tangentrified. my point was my first class is tomorrow night. daniel and i looked our professors up on ratemyprofessor.com and mine has a little chili pepper on his profile, which apparently means he's hot. we'll see. my old history professor and florida state senator (republican) mike haridopolis also has a chili pepper, but i see him as a gnomey little reaganite. go look at his website. google search his name and you'll find it. it's ridiculous. his little gnome-hands used to creep me the fuck out. daniel's applied mechanics professor's comments all say the same kind of thing: worst professor ever, can't wait til he retires, if he weren't the only one teaching that class..... hahahahahaha! poor daniel. i'm also only taking one class because that's all i can afford. drastically shifting my budget around to accommodate this had a nice side effect. i changed how i eat because i can't afford to eat like i have been. in three days i've lost 7#, during a time i normally retain about 4-5# in water retention because of my period. so....pretty kick ass :) i'm also staying home a lot, which is nice. my mom keeps trying to get me to play mexican dominoes with her. so far i've deflected, but she'll get me in the end. i haven't bored myself with my own activities yet. i'm devouring books by the handfuls. i'm really happy right now. and sleepy. time for bed. | ||||||||||
