creon vs. cheney
You know that useless thing I was complaining about last night? No longer a factor. I am now officially enrolled into an english course, one that suits my expertise: intro into Lit. Well, atleast it did today, which was my first day in this rather miniature class. They were discussing Antigone, a greek tragedy I had read and discussed extensively in 10th grade. Luckilly, I remember it in surprising detail, and impressed the teacher and my fellow classmates with my comments. wOOt. No longer useless.
The teacher though is a total liberal. He, timidly, suggested that Creon, the bad guy king in Antigone, sounds a lot like Dick Cheney. It didn't bother me, since I don't know anything about Dick cheney besides him shooting his friend, but it was a little insight into my new eng prof. Then again, so are all my other teachers. woo...
One person in particular that sticks out, in terms of fellow students, was a the only other english major in the course: someone we'll call Surfer K. (her fiancee owns a surf shop). Surfer K and me hit it off right away, before we evenhad a chance to talk much, becuase when she sat behind me I shot her a big Texan smile (forgetting that califs don't know how to smile @ strangers) and surprise surprise, she returned the big smile. Surfer K isn't only a fellow english major with a loveof literature and writing, she's also from Texas, and actually knows where the freak Huntsville is. That's just blind friendship right there.
We just had lunch together, and there was not ONE awkward silence, and I think we talked for a bout two hours. Surfer K is a really nice girl, too, she's very friendly and ... well ... like me! A soft! Someone who can get to know a person without intimidating that person too much. She's better at that than I think I am!! So all in all, I've made my first real school friend, and, in my opinion (no offense to Holly and big T) my first real calif friend. Her and I certainly have more in common than me and Holly.
Ok, I'm off to surf the net some more. My next class doesn't start for like 2 hours. Hope you all had a good thursday as well.
