50% my rear end

Bonjour tout le monde.
(hello everyone)

I'm afraid I have the case of "The Monday's". I had french class this morning and it went as well as it could I suppose. We are studying "Paris" by dissecting french poetry and watching french commercials. All very interesting but for the past 2 class sessions my teacher has given me 50% out of 100% class participation. THAT is bull-crap. It's fairly useless talking to her about it, too, because she's pretty set in her ways. Lord, give me strength to last through these next few weeks.


I'm alone in my apartment right now; I just got home from RUF girl's lunch at the MSC (marshall student center). I'm obsessed with buying stuff to decorate this place. I hate hate HATE blank, white walls. There's four of us living here though and I do not want to be the only one making decoration purchases. I can't get my mind off of this amazing elephant I found at the Salvation Army thrift store. It was 9 dollars and really a big piece of art...If I'm still thinking about it on Friday, and if it's still there when I go back, I will buy it because then, it was just meant to be. Target is ALSO the bomb. I could go there every day and find something else to buy because they have the coolest/cutest stuff there from clothes, underwear, little trinkets that I really shouldn't buy but I would anyways.

Speaking of random purchases; in the past 2 weeks I have bought 6 movies from blockbuster. They have this amazing deal when you buy 3 movies for 20 bucks. Amaaaazing. I bought Watchmen, Yes Man, He's Just Not That Into You, Away We Go, Gran Torino, and the Soloist. I need a job.


Why do people think sex and drugs are the best things to write about? In my fiction class that's all people seem to write about...and they think it's funny. I feel like I'm in a class of 13 year olds who are experimenting for the first time and it makes me sad. I don't care if you've smoked weed before and did something ridiculous...who hasn't these days? You people are actually part of the norm. *****for the record, I have never smoked pot, smoked a cigarette for that matter, or injected anything into my body***** It's just discouraging because that type of subject is encouraged because it's "naughty" or "taboo". I think it's overrated, and overdone. Write about things that you really care about or things that really interest you! That's what I do, and I'm fairly sure my grades are surpassing most of theirs.



Alright, I guess that's enough for today. Until next time :)

au revoir mes amis!
