The Diary of Queen Mothy |
Woooooooo!! written @ 7:02 PM on March 03, 2003 Oddly enough, I was in one of my wild Reno skippy moods today. I strike people as quite the oddity, in behavior as well as in tastes. What can I say? To sum me up in a nutshell, I'm a jack-of-all-trades, more than slightly eccentric (try "really"), and my sugar-coated nutshell comes in a Skittles package. Yup. I tried explaining that to someone today, but I think I came across as more skiddattle than anything else. My English professor today was talking about power animals, and if a Native American shaman were to bless us with the spirit of an animal, what would we be? Well, we all know what *I'd* be, but I said mountain lion; I always did find a strange kinship in the largest of the small cats. But unicorn was the real answer, naturally. I mean, given my background and my current personality, what else could it be? Even so, my English professor is now beginning to see what a kaleidoscope of interests, hobbies, and tastes I possess. And he's still in his office right now scratching his head about me in wake of a recent meeting we had one-on-one today. In this meeting, I had to discuss my ideas for an independent research project, of which none I thought really good, just the typical run-of-the-mill Sam ideas, you know? The only truly original idea of the bunch I came up with was researching the influence outside religions had on the rituals found in Catholicism. You know, something that was kind of original. For example, the reason why Catholics can't eat meat on Fridays except for fish was because the fishermen at the time were in danger of going out of business or something-- whatever the case, it forced consumers to buy fish for Fridays suppers-- and that eventually became religious doctrine. But my professor didn't think the idea sexy enough. But he sure *loved* my "idea" on researching why the "Titanic" disaster still holds huge mileage over pop culture today. Oh yeah. Forget the bibliography for that one-- talk about familiar territory! I probably could have spewed the research paper on his office floor at that very moment, but instead I tried to suppress one of my subtle, evil smiles. "Boy, you really seem to know your stuff," my professor offered hopefully. Ah, the naive fool, he doesn't know what's coming! I went away from class very happy today. Sound design was okay. I often catch myself daydreaming, so I couldn't really tell you what we did. I mean, I try to stay focused-- really, I do!-- but I can't help but think back to my books and what will happen next when I can finally sit down at my laptop again. I got my midterm grade for 3-D Design. Nick says it's very interesting to see how I'm handling myself in this class since 2-D work in my strong point. He makes me feel like a social experiment sometimes, but I think I have a nice solid A in that class. And that's good because I think his class is a pain in the ass foundations course. Next semester they're offering a "Harry Potter Goes Global" class that analyzes the cultural impact J.K. Rowling's books have had on various countries, both culturally, economically, etc, and I was SO GOING to take that class-- until I discovered that both my painting class and my scenic design class interfere with it. I was so pissed off. And it doesn't help matters that my scenic design class and my painting class are also conflicting. I have a huge mess for a schedule to figure out within the coming days... The only good news is that I have friends who are definitely taking the class next semester who have promised to make copies of all notes, worksheets, etc for my pleasurable disposal. I'm so jealous, though... Double majoring sucks ass sometimes.
