School 4 everr
It’s weird when people ask me, “What Semester are you in in College?” and I respond that I am starting my fourth semester. It also felt weird at the Miramar Gym when I took my fitness test and the machine asked for my age. It feels weird. But anywhoo, I just feel like letting my fingers dance on my keyboard for a while before I head of to bed. So heres some school stuff
Human Sexual Behavior: You know when you take a class like Biology or English and you are secretly anticipating that sex talk in Bio or that sex scene in your assigned English class novel? Don’t lie, you didn’t watch Romeo and Juliet in your english class just for the dialogue, you were waiting to see Romeo’s butt and stare at your teacher to absorb all the awkwardness in the room. Well anyway, it’s just like that but every class day(except the teachers not embarrassed), I love it.
Advanced Public Speaking: The teacher in this class is adorable. I just want to box up some of her sunshine and donate it to charity or something. I think I am going to love that class, even if I am probably going to complain about it and most likely hyperventilate at the thought of speech day coming up…there is an indescribable feeling when you make a speech and realize that the audience is actually listening to you, that moment when you are in the middle of your speech and make slight eye contact with someone and realize that they are still following your every word and interpreted what you were saying the exact way you want them to receive it. Then after you say the exact last line you wanted to squeeze in and you sit down the rush of nerves catches up, ADRENALINE JUNKIEEE!…. hahaha I hope to get this feeling a lot in this class and with this teacher I hope to absorb all the sunshine she has to offer.
French:I need to take time to sit down this week and just review every single thing from the past. She speaks only in French besides what she says are the “Very important parts.” But I think after asking the girl next to me to translate, EVERYTHING IS IMPORTANT! She is nice, she reminds me of that short woman with the Anna Wintour Black Bob from The Incredibles. There is a girl in that class that reminds me of Misha and she sits by me and she’s really cool. She laughs at everything I say, so my confidence is through the roof during those 3 hours. But then it goes back down when my teacher hears me speaking English during a side conversation and points at me with her animated finger and says, “Parlez- Vous D’anglais! S’il Vous Plait!!!!!” It’s at night from 7:05 to 9:30 pm. I look like a freak walking out after class clutching on my belongings and walking up the 2038042 stairs slightly hoping I fart to ward off any possible intruders in my safe zone.
Physical Anthropology Lab: A needed class and it was the farthest from my version of a sciencey lab I can get. Yessss, and my anthro lab partner is a cutie that asks me questions about myself, I don’t really get that type of attention, so I feel kind of like a celebrity getting interviewed by Barbara Walters Anderson Cooper. ;)
Open Gym: (I forgot the actual name of the class) The wifi works in their so I admit to not putting that much effort yet, since i’m playing Temple Run on my ipod and checking out Hipster photos on Instagram.
Retelling itty bitty stories from reviewing the pictures on my phone.
So I remember taking these pictures on my phone with the intentions to blog about something. So this is just a whole bunch of whatevaaa that happened this week..
Taken Wednesday of last week:
- I decided to
be all eco friendly andwalk to school. Actually I really just wanted to save gas. But I remember it was really hot outside (like the hottest day of that week) and I donned my 400 pound backpack of knowledge. The average 10 minute walk to school turned into around 25 and I remember walking in right when class was about to start looking like a sweaty hot mess. I felt very tempted to explain myself onto why my shirt was drenched in sweat everytime I felt someone was staring. I JUST WANTED TO SAVETHE EARTH FROM POLLUTIONA COUPLE BUCKS SO I COULD GET A TACO LATER. - I spent my 2 hour break in the library studying next to this 2 guys on my left. I got lost in my music and when the song Vienna by Billy Joel came on I didn’t realize I sang out loud the first part, “SLooW DooWn you Crazy CHillld…” until the guy across me on my left jumped a little.
- This lady made me watch her purse as she ran an errand. Well she didn’t really ask she just asked how long I was staying and after I said about 30 minutes she pointed to her bag, gave me a “Do what I say, Child” and left. I didn’t really understand why she didn’t just take it with her it seemed like it was filled with feathers and a tube of lipstick. She ended up making me hyperventilate cause she didn’t come for more than 30 minutes and I needed to go to class. She then came in finally while I was packed and ready to go just staring at her big bag full of nothingness protecting it from all evil. That silly willy didn’t even say thank you! She just grabbed her bag and left. I was so tempted to just follow her, but then I didn’t really want to look like a freak running after her with my big ass back pack pleading a ‘thank you.’ Well at that moment I kinda hoped that a big gust of wind were to swoop by her and take away her plastic bag.
Taken Monday of this week:
- I was using the gross restrooms by the Miramar Library and after I did my business and looked up I saw this. Made my day a little bit brighter.
Taken Tuesday of this week:
- I have been very proud of myself that I have not bought anything at both of my schools cafeteria, besides that water, but this time I was so desperate. I haven’t been bringing any money to school to avoid temptation but after searching my bag I managed to find $1.75 in quarters! I then finally found a vending machine. AND THIS FUCKER TOOK MY MONEY AND KEPT THE M&Ms!.
- I think this moment was when I realize I would hate gambling because I was really really upset that I lost $1.25. I don’t even want to know how much pain it would feel to loose like $5 bucks on a slot machine.
- In good news, I hope some other hungry broke student wanted milk chocolate M&Ms and ended up getting 2 instead of one.
Taken Yesterday:
- I like being obnoxious in Kim Vergaras car.
Taken Today:
- I held back on temptation to get the September issue in order to study. Then I realized that I had to get it before the October one comes out usually by the 18-20th. So yesterday I went to Target and started freaking out cause they already had the October issue.
- Luckily, today I realize that CVS (I go to) usually lags on getting the recent magazines till like a week later so I was saved.
- Yay! Now I can go look at scarfs that cost more than my monthly paychecks combined! (JayKayy, I Luhh You September Issues <333)
Relearning 2 years of french over the weekend.
I am not over exaggerating at all this time when I describe what I have done over my first week of school. I woke up went to school, came home changed, ran to work, came home from work, shower, study, sleep. I also realized that I ate anything I could get my hands on, which was usually chips and gummy worms and I remember Tuesday my mom left me some Chick fil-a while I was in the process of changing to hurry and make my shift at work.
Weirdly, I sorta like it. Believe me though, I will hate it at some points. But for some bizarre reason I like the idea that I have to be somewhere constantly and be all active and engaging and stuff. Oh but trust me I will complain about it later. Trust me.
One of the subjects I am taking is French. I took French 3 years in high school, I wasn’t the best at the subject but I was able to get through each class with a B and one report card the stars were aligned and I luckily got an A. I stopped my junior year and revisited it this year in college as a transferable unit to transfer. Boy, what do I have some relearning to visit. I practically pleaded the professor to let me in the class after I had to explain why my challenge test to get in the class had many errors and my passe composse was incredibly weak.
I will be honest that I thought going into the second year of french after having 3 years of it would give me an advantage and I would be able to be like some sort of star student, but no like almost half of the students are in the same situation as me and I feel like I was the only one that was on the verge of drowning in that class.
Oh brain, please let the fact that I have put in an incredible amount of time on this beautiful but tedious language into good use. Make me French Savvy and understand more than 70% on what my teacher is talking about in class next time.
s’il vous plait!

Getting antsy with a knot in my stomach and a permanent tingly feeling on my tippy toes.
IF I DON’T GET MY CLASSES. I WILL CUT A BITCH.
Tomorrow after work I am going to wreck havoc at Miramar and bombard the counselors with my bazillion questions and disrupt their summer fun a little by looking like a hot mess.
