So, today started off very not cool. It was really cold last night, right? And there was this big ice storm, right? So my car had about an inch of ice on it this morning, and lemme tell ya, scraping an inch of solid ice off of your car is a rip roarin' good time, that takes about an hour! So guess who missed his Biology class today?! That's right! I'm reeeeeally hoping she didn't give a lab quiz today... I don't think she did, but ya never know. Ah well. Coulda been worse. At least I didn't have to deal with Eric's crap today.
Lit of Non-Western Civilizations wasn't so bad today. We got paired up into discussion groups with basically whoever we wanted, groups of four, and we're supposed to stick with the same group for the next couple of weeks. One of the guys in my group, John whats-his-name (I can't remember his last name, so sue me), was in my drama class last semester. He was one of the cool people too, not one of the weirdo, creepy girls that had a crush on me, or one of the pompous arrogant jackasses that never had anything good to say about anyone. And the other two in my group were these two girls, whose names I of course didn't catch, but I'm sure I'll learn eventually.
My intro to lit class wasn't bad either, and I think its safe to say that's probably going to be my favorite class this semester. The teacher is a really cool guy, and the stuff we talk about is actually interesting stuff to me, so, I'm thinking that class is gonna be nice. Not really a whole lot happened in it today, we just discussed this Poe story, the Cask of Amantillado (which I had previously read my sophomore year of high school.... could have been junior year, I'm not sure.)
Of course I got in plenty of sulking today, in between classes, obviously, we can't have a day go by without that. It doesn't help that just about everything in the universe reminds me of.... something, but, eh, what can you do.
I DID however have a really awesome evening. Me, Dan, Anna, and Chris all hung out at Anna's house. We hung out, talked, laughed at Dan's outlandishness, etc. We also watched Equilibrium a totally awesome movie, basically Fahrenheit 451 on crack. Ya know the drill. Utopian society, ruled by a dictator, functions like a well oiled machine, until someone on the inside suddenly discovers what they're depriving from the populace (in this case, emotion) while it keeps order, it also takes away their humanity. A good movie.
Then Dan and I drove home, cause we thought everybody had to go to school tommorrow... cept of course I don't have classes on Tuesday. Then as soon as we get home, we find that EHS and Metro have both cancelled, meaning we all COULD have stayed a bit longer. Lousy stupid lousiness.
All in all, not a bad day. And I don't have school tommorrow... and for some reason, I just can't get excited about that. Days off just ain't what they used to be anymore. Le sigh.
Sometimes I wish I could just stop thinking for a while. That would make things nice and simple. Stop feeling too. Maybe I can get ahold of some of that Prozium stuff they used in Equilibrium that suppressed emotions. Sometimes, I think it'd be nice to have something like that.
Ah well... as always, tommorrow's another day.
