Hans suggested that I post, and I shall, although this 'ere post will be short. Because classes are tomorrow. And that involves me going to them.
So anyhow, I'm adjusting to this college life. Actually, I've fallen quite into the whole groove of things. Write a lot, read a lot, *coughdrinkalotcough*, and study like hell.
I've been playing lacrosse here at Oberlin too. It's funny, Oberlin Athletics are kinda...screwy...see....cos like, we're all liberal hippies. So imagine a violent sport like lacrosse...yeah. So BASICALLY, I'm able to play Varsity lacrosse for a Division III school (which is a pretty big deal, because it's above both Club and Intramural). So yeah, that's cool. And I've adjusted to that whole "showering with other guys" thing.
Also, Oberlin is weird in it's "liberalness". I've become quite used to it now. Cos see, the bathrooms and showers on my dorm floor are co-ed, right? And I don't mind, cos I mean, we're all human. So I get really used to it by now, and my friends and I go out to dinner off campus a couple days ago. And since I was in this whole "coed" mentality, I just follow my girl friends right into their bathroom without even thinking twice. Yeah, so then I realized my mistake and stepped out, finding the male bathroom. But seriously, it's funny how your brain does things like that.
Okay, time for Z's!
B-but I love you!

I honestly don't have the patience to see if I put in the right numbers for the comment script. stupid-me.
I'd just like to re-express my hatred for the social institution we all call school. God. I'm considering moving out of my honors pre-calc just cos it sucks.
How do you debate in an AP Science class? "YOUR MITOCHONDRIA SUCKS!" "well, you're Mom's mitochondria sucks!" *pause* "well, you're gay!" yeah, that's all I could think to debate about.
My brother is insensitive. I've been trying to burn my anime on CD's an stuff and he's like "Hmm.. 14 gigs of Jeff's stuff. I think i'll delete it because I am insensitive and dumb." thus I lost my anime. I am sad.
Yeah, last night my friend (whom I have not talked to in like 4 years) called me. And I was like "whoa" He's coo, he's all into the anime and although he's white he hates those asian-wannabes! :D Yeah, I also found out he at least temporarily living... 2 BLOCKS FROM ME. @_@. I can like walk there and watch anime and play games. That would r0x0r. That's what I shall do.
And thus, I conquered the world.

Man, my sleeping schedule. Why can't it be fixed. I have to get to school at 6:30AM every morning and I barely wake up at 6:25. I come home and I plop onto the bed immediately and sleep for 2 hours, and then I'd find myself not able to go to sleep until way past the time I should be going to sleep if I hope to get more than 6 hours of sleep (preferably 8). BAAAHHH. Fix it, someone.
My mom. She gave me an angry lecture on the car ride home. Blah blah you don't help around the house blah blah I do so much for you and you don't appreciate blah blah you're walking home from now on blah blah blah. I was half asleep through the whole thing. Well, she should pick a better time to lecture me on that. Ain't nothing's gonna penetrate my ears while I'm in such states.

on the same note as Garret:
Excuse me if i might seem cynical, or a stoic (hoho). but sheesh, like everything else. the dreaded 9/11 has been overly commercialized. stoopid capitalistic pigsssss. I heard this speech today duringa assembly which I really liked regarding that. Some kids were like "we should get school off today!" WTF, dood, its not a freakin holiday. I agree that it was a sad thing. but dwelling on it doesn't help. if i hear "god bless america" or "united we stand" i am going to puke.
oh, during the assembly. we had a buncha student speakers. ugh. little kids should not do that. they're all too occupied with trying to rhyme "tower" to say anything that means something. other people? How many times did I hear "the day america changed forever" ... or "the two towers have fallen" all those stupid cliche's. today was one huge freakin cliche. My history teacher brought up a good point. We wave all our little flags, but when someone waves their OWN flag... we shoot them down.
I also didn't get to drive today. i am sad.
Patriots Day

As much as it goes against my better judgement, I'm making a post against something that I'm sure we're all sick of...9/11.
Let's get started then.
Last night, I received about 50 IM's from friends with the same copied text that read something along the lines of (and I'm paraphrasing here): "Blah blah, send this to 11 friends in honor of tomorrow, September 11th, blah blah, if you don't annoy send it to 11 people then you are an awful person and you are going to hell for not sending it to 11 people because that means that you obviously don't care."
This pissed me off to no end. It was complete BULLSHIT and here were my friends sending it to me.
It was a year ago, folks. Yes, it was sad. Yes, it was weird. Yes, I know, we shouldn't forget. But JEBUS CHRIST, that is no excuse to not only drill it into my head that today is September 11th, but also annoy me with the fact!
There is no reason to immediately force ourselves into a 24-hour depression because a year ago, some assholes did some bad things. Terrorism happens every day in other countries. Just because we are the greatest country EVER and we rock and everything about us is perfect (sense the sarcasm, folks), we feel the need to remind everybody that they DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS AMERICA.
And speaking of us being the most perfect country, we're not. We pollute the planet more than any other country, we meddle in affairs that aren't ours, we are racist, we are assholes. I use "we" as a stereotypical term referring to the many assholes that exist in America.
I don't hate living here, and I understand that there are many postive qualities of this country of ours. But I RECOGNIZE that we are not perfect. If you can't see this, then there is something wrong with you.
But back to my original point, September 11th...
People should not be making such a big deal of this. It should be a quiet holiday (speaking of holidays, Bush is officially making today "Patriots Day" lest we forget to mourn), not one spent bragging about the power that is America or reminding everyone that 3,000 people were brutally murdered a year ago.
That's my rant. Live with it and for Jebus' sake, stop mourning and move on.
Something's wrong with the comments thing... don't ask.

If you thought that [insert horrifically scary movie] was scary, you have not learned driving with my MOTHER. eesh :p
also, for some odd reason, during AP Bio they decided to play that Yatta music video. ommmmiiigoshhhh. I tried avoiding watching that because it was so wrong, but there it was. projected onto the wall.
Whew.

This whole morning classes thing doesn't work for the Garemeister.
Anywho, yes, I am at college, and yes, I am enjoying myself. TO SOME EXTENT. The music scene here at Oberlin College is fantastic. I got to see a live reggae show the other night. At this campus picnic on Sunday, there was an African drum session. Not to mention the whole free food thing. Coed showers...work for me! Albino squirrels...anyday!
But then there comes the whole reality aspect of it all. Oberlin is a very liberal Liberal Arts school. That means I have to take classes in just about everything. This really doesn't bother me that much, but it turns out that you practically have to screw the teacher to get into an art class. I should not have to cut off my arm in order to get into an art class. I asked them and they told me, "We might be able to get you into a class Junior year."
Okay...Junior Year...IMGUNNABEAFRICKINARTMAJOR!Frickin art majors should be in frickin art major CLASSES.
So, I'm still considering the whole transferring to art school thing. Because it just might not work for me here.

Where are you, Hans?
Anyway, I rented Eternal Darkness. It's freaking awesome, but it hasn't eaten my brain yet. Well... everything takes time. I also made a breakthrough in FFT when I found out I could go left and right for different types of skills T_T It makes me feel just as tactics-game-retarded as ever, but also better about the fact that I always had so much trouble with the earlier battles XP
I also watched Jurassic Park III because I never had. It was fun. However, I'm glad I didn't pay to see it in the theatre OR for the rental (we got a free one ;o ). Also, it made JPII look really good =P But it was still fun. I mean, any movie where people get eaten by dinosaurs is fun, right?
I hate them crazy bitches!

THAT'S WHO. yeesh, the freakin huge sign that says "Westwood Driving School" doesn't mean someone with experience is driving. well she can go fornicate herself with an iron pole. good nite america.
