give me my laptop back, please! i'm going craaaaazy [insert chainsaw sound here]
Woo!
[does a minor celebration dance]
I got the hold lifted and I was able to drop my History of American Education class before the deadline of 7 tonight. After today, I would have had to have the professor sign it for me. And since I made such a great impression on her, I didn't want to see her again. Yay! No really crappy class for me.
Is it sad that I'm actually really looking forward to my Grammer class? That's like asking for a big sign that says 'dork' on it. That's almost as good as the 'I like Beowulf' revelation of last night. Hey, at least I'm not a fan of Gilgamesh. Sumerian epic poems are not my thing.
So we have a paper for my Grammer class that is basically whatever we want to do as long as it involves language and has perfect grammer when it's turned in. I'm seriously considering doing a paper on the increase of personalized language in fandoms. Nslash for example has lots of words that have evolved in the past few years that were not around before, but are perfectly acceptable within the community. The problem comes in presenting this paper. Do I really want to stand in front of a class and talk about the particulars of Nslash language? Though, I would really like to educate people on the exact meaning of crunk. Also, I feel kind of weird doing another pop-related paper since there's a couple of people in my class who were treated to Project Britney last semester. Eh. I have time to figure it all out.
I'm going to go finish watching Trading Spaces and then go read more of Beowulf, Araby, and some Poe. It'll be a productive evening.
