brinshannara: (man of faith)
Okay, so class is at 11:45 tomorrow morning, which means I gotta be up at 10. Which is in 6 and a half hours or so.

Just wanted to post to say that yes, I am alive.

Yes, I am very busy. BD, a friend of mine for the last decade or so, was in town on business and we went for dinner on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. I also beat B at pool; 3 wins and 1 loss. I am the pool champion. (We will ignore the fact she'd had four glasses of wine and a beer, because she has trouble beating me when she's sober, anyways.)

School technically started today, but my schedule means no classes on Wednesday or Friday. Thursdays will be hellish, however.

11:45-1: Race and Ethnic Relations (200 level Anthro class with my Social Deviance teacher.)
2:45-4: Intermediate Italian II (with the lovely teacher I had last semester, who the friends of the family know!)
6-8:15: Research Design and Analysis (the second half of my year-long course. Whee.)

'course I'm not sure if I'm even IN the Anthro. The registration system is completely fucked because it can't handle 15000 people registering or checking their class schedule at once. 30,000 students go to my school. You know how many the system can handle at once? 600. At most. And most of the time, things just time out and connections are refused. Through some ingenuity, I managed to find a link to the timetable, so I know where and when my classes are and even who's teaching them, but I can't confirm that I'm in the Anthro, since I just added it like, 24 hours ago and haven't been able to even LOOK at my schedule since!

Anyways, it's bedtime for me. I shall leave you with this quote from BD, however.

"Some people smell like home."

([livejournal.com profile] drsnicket, sorry I wasn't home. I'll be home Thursday after 10pm or so, at the latest, and should be home most/all of Friday, but I think I'm going up north. Give me a call! Happy New Year to you, sweetie!)

An update!

First:

[livejournal.com profile] drsnicket: I am SO sorry I wasn't around tonight, but my friend BD-originally-from-Newfoundland was in town tonight and so we went out after my class. I promise to update more. (Also, I am not sleeping between now and 2pm tomorrow afternoon, so if you want to call before you leave, you may!) If I've missed you, have a great experience and save many lives. (That last bit was a message I was to pass on to you from JB.) Love you much, sis, and safe travels.

Second:

Saw BD tonight for the first time in months, I think. Had a lovely time -- much good discussion was had, and I remember why the two of us are dangerous when you put us in a room together. We cannot. stop. talking. Ever. I remember bad phone bills from 1995 or so, and my goodness, there was reason for it. Best conversation of the night, from a story where DR proposed to BD the first time:

"He asked me to marry him."

"Did he have a ring?"

"No, it was pretty spontaneous for him."

"So what did you say?"

"What do you think I said?"

"No, obviously. THEN what happened?"

"We had a fight. (beat) Actually, we didn't have a fight so much as I broke up with him."

For some reason, this cracked me up. I thought I'd share.

Third:

I have an eight page social theory paper due at 2:45pm today. WHEE.

Fourth:

I've felt very disconnected from my entire life lately, apart from my academic life. I haven't watched any of my shows this week since Sunday, I haven't posted much, but I've been talking on the phone and hanging out in person and it's good. Nothing new with JB, although BD thinks I should jump her. It's funny. PF wonders why we're not already sleeping together and BD thinks I should jump her. Not going to happen, but I'm good with it. She and I are having really good, deep conversations lately, and hanging out and doing stuff together. A movie last week, hanging out last Saturday, dinner and class tonight, class tomorrow.

Fifth:

I did not with $54 million (CAD, but tax-free!) with either my numbers or Hurley's, last night. Woe.

Sixth:

Time to get back to Mead and Goffman.
