Reach Out and Touch Someone....With a Ten Foot Pole

[annundriel]

"Someone" looks very odd. Is it supposed to be one word? (Asks the English Major.)

I was just going to say GIP! but I actually have something to say. Imagine that.

It's come to my attention, it being May and all, that graduation and senior presentations are happening and/or coming up rather quickly. How swiftly the time does fly. So I want to take this time to ask my senior friends (namely Neesha, as she is the only one who would even remotely read this) how their year is going. How do you feel about projects? How do you feel about graduating? How do you feel about Neiffer? And how do you feel about me? Would you like to throttle me now that I've become a Neiffer-example?

And what of you other student-type people? How's life? Reply or post. Remember, rants are fun. And I'm always listening. Or, er, reading rather. 'Cause my life? Dull-ish. But I make my own fun.

Anyway. Random things...The project presentation due in Sociology today has been moved to Monday. I don't know how I feel about that. I kinda want to just get it over and done with, but at the same time I don't mind wait particularly.

Mom is coming over Friday! Yea. I'm going to skip Philosophy for her. Because I am actually a rebel. No, really, I am. We're going to go see a movie. Probably Van Helsing. Lots of my wanting to see it has to do with David Wenham. And I kind of have an interest in Troy, but mostly because Sean Bean. And a little Brad Pitt because I want to see Achilles.

Is it sad that Orlando Bloom does, like, nothing for me?

I only have THREE episodes left of Farscape Season 1! What am I going to do when I'm done? I need more! It's like crack. Plus, shiny new icon made by saava. One of my absolute favorite scenes so far. Beautifully done.

What? You mean I'm *called* Achilles AND I have an Achilles heel?! I'll be a laughing stock!!

Eddie Izzard has officially ruined my life.

Awww, I don't know that one. :(

Eddie Izzard is a life ruiner. You can't watch the man and come out unscathed.

This is your captain speaking...

...Welcome to flight..uh..one. From..uh...here to there...We'll be flying at a hight of..ten feet...moving up to twelve and a half feet-if we see anything big. Our copilot today...is a flask of coffee.

I believe somewhere after that bit about Achilles having an Achilles heel he says that if he were Achilles he would put his foot in a block of concrete. I shall have to check if I ever get Glorious back.

how their year is going. How do you feel about projects? How do you feel about graduating? How do you feel about Neiffer? And how do you feel about me? Would you like to throttle me now that I've become a Neiffer-example?

My year has been peachy...So far everything has been going well and I've been happy. --- My project is virtually done. I'm still writing my show, but the presentation and speech bit is over. I think I eeked out alright. So long as my grades all average well, I will be sitting at a solid 'A'. Graduating. That's a toughy. I guess I am excited, but in the same way, I don't want to leave. I'm scared and excited and nervous, but that's part of the adventure. On one hand, I can't wait to go to Whitworth because it's new and interesting, but on the other hand, I don't want to leave because I like where I am right now. I do think that the moving on and growing more independant is a little more fascinating that the staying stagnant, but I'm going to miss so much. I guess everyone goes through this stage at some point in their lives, so I'm not alone in my thoughts. I just wish there was some way to know a bit more of my future. --- How do I feel about Neiffer? I love her even when I hate her. I guess that's how I feel about all of my teachers. I'm going to miss all of them.. I'm still going to write emails to Pratz when I get stumped...and I'll come home and stop in to talk to Vandy-man and Neiffer. Of all the teachers I'm leaving, I'll probably still see Mr. Rowley the most, mainly because of my chosen career path. I'm going to miss all of them, though. There's no avoiding it. But, again, that's life. --- No I don't want to throttle you for taking a few steps in Neiffer's moderately-heeled shoes. If anything, I respect you more now because of it. You're doing what you love and you believe in. You're an amazing authoress and one day I will be first in line at your first book signing. I love you Mar!!!!!!

It's good to hear that everything is going well. The only news I get from Royal is from Mom.

What's your senior project? Oh, and when are you presenting?

I didn't mean that I was following Neiffer's example. I meant that I've heard rumors that I've become one of Neiffer's in-class examples of "so-and-so has done..." But, y'know, whatever. *grin*

Anyway, yeah. It's really good to here from you. And to hear that you're doing great. Don't forget to have fun!

Of goats and boats and such...

I went into Well Read Books today and found the rest of a couple of series' that I'm reading. When I went to the counter, I got to answer a trivia question to see if I could get 25% off. I don't even remember the question, but it went so very far over my head that I pretty much looked blank. She told me the answer and I paid full price for my book. The neato thing was that after that we were talking about the trivia cards and she said that most of them were pretty hard so she wasn't suprised I had missed it for being so young. She then looked at the next couple cards saying that there was probably something that I could answer...The first card she pulled out was something to the extent of: Author of "Master and Commander" Then it gave a short summary with something about Aubrey. She had put down that card as one of the things I shouldn't get, and I told her I knew that was Patrick O'Brian and she gave me 25% back of my purchase. I thought that was pretty cool.

You haven't been so much of an example in my class specifically...not unless I update Neiffer on something that you do and she works it into her lesson plan. I do know that you've been used with English lit a couple of times, I'm not sure in what context though.

I wrote a Pink Floyd field show. I already presented it on the 11th. I was pretty proud of myself...my evaluators liked me. It was also pretty nice to have Sandra Godoy as an evaluator. Friendly faces are nice. The only negative comment I got was that at some point I seemed a bit egotistical. I think it's probably because I had to explain things that were common knowledge to me. I kept forgetting that not EVERYONE is as into music as I am. Other than that, I did very well
