"Blindfold" by Morcheeba |

Thing One:
So there were no classes yesterday, what with it being Labor Day. No big, I only have Tuesday/Thursday classes anyway. Except I'm packing up my stuff, ready to go to the library to do my draft primary source bibliography for my historical theory class and... Yes. The library was closed too.
Why do they do this to me? Why? Commonsense would say, "Well, there's no classes, you think students might be wanting to use this day to catch up on a little homework?" (The ones that aren't nursing hangovers, anyway.) But no. No library. And of course the assignment was due today and I was either busy or elsewhere most of the weekend so... Up I get, at six o'clock in the morning, and trundle down to campus so I can get into the library when it opes. Gah. What a start to my morning.
At least I'm off tomorrow. There have to be some compensations.
Thing Two:
On my way in from the parking deck, I saw this girl wearing a black t-shirt with a red hard-shell crab on it and underneath text that read, "Bite Me."
...huh?
No, really, huh? I mean, you don't bite into crabs, you pick the meat. I mean, *theoretically* you could bite into them, as long as you cracked the outer shells off first, but you'd be getting a whole lot of inner shell and gross steamed organ bits, so why would you want to? (I was a Maryland girl originally. Hard-shell crabs compete with medium-rare steak for Best Food Ever.) And on the flip side, crabs don't bite. They pinch people, with their claws. As far as I know crabs don't even have teeth. So what the hell was the t-shirt trying to say? Is there some ironic message I'm just not getting?
Thing Three:
My historical theory class *kicks ass.* Seriously. I finally picked history for my major last spring and I'm so glad I did, I think I'm going to enjoy myself hugely as long as I don't let myself slack off like I tend to do. I've also started looking into study abroad, specifically in Great Britain. There's a whole bunch of seriously great colleges, and a few that have some classes that I'm dying to take, though it's a little hard to figure out the module system. Supposedly it helps to streamline one's education and help you take only the things you really need? Only I don't see how.
I'm aiming for next fall, but it depends on whether the GPA requirements are current or cumulative. I squeak by on current GPA, but my cumulative is about .5 too low, so if it's cumulative I'm going to have to make sure to do well this semester so that my GPA will be clear for the 2009 Spring semester. It's just the first of many questions- I really need to go to the International Studies office, and soon.
Also to the Career Counseling office, because I think I've pretty much decided that I want to be a teacher after I graduate. And I know that the requirements are different in every state, but pretty much the only thing I know about where I'm going to be once I graduate is that I don't want to be in Virginia anymore. Where I will actually be moving, I haven't yet decided. So there are quite a number of questions there, too.
Thing Four:
My main Islam text is the easiest. read. ever. Especially when compared my History of Russia text. Great professor, godawfully huge and dense textbook. Brrr.
Thing Five:
Accounting sucks out loud. The end.
Thing Six:
I should be paying attention in class right now, but I? Am totally not.
