Me: i'm trying not to laugh because my mom is across the room from me and Newton's Law of Cooling is not a funny matter.
this was like me yesterday when I was trying to explain the French, the Haitian, and the American Revolutions to my friend.I mean, don't even get me started on all the opium in China. We studied so f/cking much and I got to the test and I swear I could have just gone to bed at, like, nine and not have studied at all and I would have been fine.
(view spoiler)
Anyways. I'm sure you'll be fine. :3

Me: I've also discovered that I sound drunk when I'm tired. Like, I literally could not form a coherent thouhght while we were analysing this article on Antigone (which was pretty good, actually).

I love Antigone :DDD I'm supposed to read Aeschylus for tomorrow but I don't think I have time ;___;
Me: I feel like I shouldn't be allowed to explain things to people when I get tired. Also, I shouldn't be allowed to read student papers or anything because I get really hypercritical (tired = grouchy = super grammar nazi). We were using this study guide that this girl made--which, in retrospect, was probably not the best idea in the world--and she put that Leopold II of Belgium when it was referring to Leopold II, the Holy Roman Emperor (that was just Austria).
I liked it, too, but he had us do that thing where he assigns people to read a part each class and the people who volunteered could barely read English correctly (which is to say, mispronounced things left and right despite the fact that English is their first language) let alone Greek.
I'd say look up summaries online before class? that's what I did for The Handmaid's Tale.

Me: I also couldn't pronounce bourgeoisie so every time I had to say it, it just turned into burgeburge or some variant of that and I'd attempt to say it three more times and then just carry on with the rest of the sentence.
Me: So Mother Nature must be on something because it's been snowing, hailing, and raining since last night. It's like she can't decide, and right now it's snowing and raining simultaneously. how

In an actually stunning turn of events, it's not snowing, hailing, or raining in Toronto.
Me: :D Nice~
So this is the best e-mail I've gotten from a university thus far -
"Subject: Pancakes. A Mermaid. Jive Turkeys."
Vanessa, try crazy pancakes at Dickinson. Confirm your info.
Why Dickinson? From our campus mermaid weather vane to the Jive Turkeys Ultimate Frisbee team, and from the international vision of our security-studies program to the eco-friendly resourcefulness of our Treehouse residents, Dickinson is a place where curiosity and freedom of spirit propel us forward (on a full stomach)."

One of the universities around here, Brock, by St. Catharine's (Niagara Falls) sends a packet of confetti if you get accepted ^_^
Me: Where most schools have an image of their mascot or school, Dickinson has this. (view spoiler)
Aw, that's so cute. :D["br"]>["br"]>

Me: YAY~
I can never remember what happens. I understand it at the time I'm learning it, but I'll soon forget it. I have a friend who's really good at that sort of thing. Like, how do you just know that Dolly Madison's favourite flavour of ice cream was oyster? XD

Me: So I'm experimenting with different types of handwriting (because it's not like I have an essay to write in Spanish) and my government homework looks like it's been done by ten different people. xD
Me: xD I just get bored with mine so I've got to change it.
So I have to write an essay for Spanish and we don't even have like an actual prompt. ;n; THIS IS NOT HOW YOU TEACH.

Me: I just wrote about undocumented immigrates because that's literally all we do. I haven't learned any Spanish except perhaps some vocabulary that now escapes me.
Me: At least you get the grade. It's better than PEEing, though. Oh god, I can't ever say/type that with a straight face.
Me: xD still great.
The problem is, this is my teacher's second year teaching, so he expects so much without actually explaining anything very well. I mean, I like him as a person, but not as a teacher.

Me: That's my problem with my Spanish teacher. I can't hate her because she reminds me of my mother. >_<
please tell me I'm not the only one that finds this extremely hilarious -

Me: I mean, I don't really know what you want me to say? Did you get some historical context? I try to send you this article my teacher had us read.

"Elizabeth: You don't know how badly you could harm your wrist.
Me: Sure, sure. When I get the sheet music I'll--
Elizabeth: You could actually hurt yourself, so we study it together so you don't overexert yourself.
Me: Sure, Elizabeth. As soon as--
Elizabeth: Really, it's pretty hard music even for me. It's professional level. I have no idea why they pick things as hard as that Brahms.
Me: Sure, Elizabeth--
Elizabeth: I'm being serious okay. Don't work this by yourself."
xD
Me: I did an ab workout yesterday, so I'm crying and laughing at the same time. XD Winnie the Pooh, though. Brilliant.
Me: well, we went through why Dante wrote the Comedia in the first place, some analysis/translation issues that would technically take away some of the syntactical genius that Dante wrote with, but nothing really too in depth.
Me: I read my mom my Spanish essay, and she's never heard any of my essays before, so when I finish she literally goes, "O_O Wow, Vane. INTELLIGENTE. :D" I'm laughing too hard.
Me: basically, Dante was pissed because he was exiled from Italy, so he put the pope into the inferno.
XD that's great, Van
XD that's great, Van
Rosaline: I'd like to see that on the inside jacket cover.
Aretta: xD
Me: Pfft. Nerds. *listening to CC*
xD My mom is so easily impressed.

Me: also, his true loved died, so he put her in Paradisio while Virgil guides him through the Inferno and Purgatorio. Because Virgil.
