Just some ramble

I wasn't looking forward to today, basically because it was kinda busy. Having just come off the 3 month summer break (break from university, that is) I'm not used to having more than one thing on my agenda for one day. However, it was fine. I had the pleasure of watching about half a dozen people walk into a crotch-height pole that was meant to prevent cars passing through. Mostly guys. I had the second best lecture moment yet,* when my lecturer on Shakespeare turned out to be a fan of ICHC and used a lolcat picture in her powerpoint presentation. She also used words like "kick-ass" and "dude." Unfortunately, when I started the readings for this week (the magic of beginning-of-term-motivation is still in effect though waning disturbingly quickly this time around) the first sentence was this: "The critical quest for expressive realism acts as the ally of classic realism in constructing the reader as consumer." I have a feeling the theoretical side of this course is not going to agree with me. But hey, as long as there are lolcats I'm happee. And it's only the first day of course (haha, see what I did there?).

* The best is still the American studies class I had where the lecturer asked, as a serious question, if anyone could explain the Prime Directive.

Of course there's a lot of knowledge in universities: the freshmen bring a little in; the seniors don't take much away, so knowledge sort of accumulates. Abbott Lawrence Lowell
