Tomorrow's Waterworld expedition is a no go. Not a big deal, though. We'll probably go next Friday. That Friday just happens to be the day before Marina and I go to Disneyland!!! (I feel like I've mentioned that before.)
I called Kelli today, and she's going to the beach tomorrow with one of her friends, so she couldn't have gone to Waterworld anyway. Hopefully she'll be able to go with us next week! I'm hanging out with her tonight as well - that'll be fun. I have to get home relatively early though because I have work tomorrow at 5:30AM. Yikes.
Hehe I made a huge mess in the kitchen just now. I totally dropped my cup that I had just filled with the last of the ice
and the last of the vanilla half and half. I spilled it all over Zoe's food and water dishes, as well as over the floor. Such a mess. I wonder if Zoe would eat the food that got soaked in the half and half. That would be interesting. Like vanilla-flavored dog food. Le yuck.
While I'm here, let me just elaborate on why I hate my creative writing class so much. It's not totally one thing in particular, rather a combination of many. First of all, the teacher is lame. She loses students' papers and couldn't hold my attention if she paid me. And not that it distracts from the class, but she wears totally weird clothes and has this ratty old Hello Kitty bag/purse that looks totally unprofessional. Eew. She can't spell or stay on topic for more than five minutes, plus she's got this "I am the artist, so listen to me" attitude that is just not worth anything. It's really pathetic, because I've never actually read anything she's written, even though she says she goes to readings and everyone loves her poems. To top it off, we're doing high-school free writes during class that are just
lame. Honestly, today we did a write about a paragraph in
Their Eyes Were Watching God that I actually did senior year. Haha I'm not joking, it was the exact same assignment. The only difference is that I don't have to turn this one in.
Not only is the teacher screaming mediocracy, but there's this one student who's been in my classes before who just irks me. Something about him just pisses me off. He's totally emo and just lame in general. He's self-elected himself the class' writing guru even though he's simply a one sided writer that writes about inappropriate things just to "fight the system." All of his writings have involved sex, drugs, and twice as much swearing than I would deem necessary. Plus, in the one he presented today, his main character was reminiscing about his relationship with his girlfriend by saying things along the lines of "She gets on my nerves all the time, but at least she's a good fuck." Like, OMG and WTF to that. What gives you the right to write that offensive bullshit for a school paper. If you want to write about drugs and stuff, that's fine. But there's a tasteful way to go about writing that stuff. Some caution needs to be taken because you might offend someone. Any compliment this guy gets puts a rat-fink smirk on this guy's mouth that only eggs him on to write more trash like that.
I just can't wait for it to be over. And I only have a short story and a five piece portfolio due on Tuesday and I'm done.
Uhh, yeah. Where was I before I went on my tirade? Oh well, I give up for now.
