Last night, we went to the Lone Star for DJ Bearyoncé, and in the process drank way too much. It was a beer bust, so it was Rolling Rock on tap, which is light years better than Busch or Bud or any other yellow beer, but still yellow beer, and I’m a little sore this morning. I’m not tore up, but I’ve got that dull pounding in my head that makes me wish I could sleep all day. I just can’t do it. I’m a busy, unemployed person, and I’ve got stuff to do. Like deposit my socialist handouts and such like that.
I’m officially registered for the Fall 2010 term at CCSF. Yay. Voy à apprendir español. Or something like that. I’m also taking an English class, and I’m excited about that. The little bits of writing I did for sosh last term (in which I scored a full, legitimate A, thank you — see, I am smart after all) reminded me how much I enjoy writing and how much I’ve missed it. Give me a subject and I can go all expository and turn stuff out, yo. And I’m taking an American cinema class, at a distance, which means I can watch TV at home and get credit for it. Sort of. I don’t know how it works just yet, but it satisfies a requirement, and that makes me happy.
I’m so excited to move on and complete my degree. I think my first footsteps at SFSU were sidetracked by the whole drama with He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, who turns 53 tomorrow. But now that I have a sort of vision for my future and my education, and now that I have nonjudgmental support from the people around me, it feels like fun and I can’t wait to get started, I mean, really started. This GE stuff is for the birds, honestly. I’ve been poring over the IGETC requirements and transfer credits, and it’s like an annoying, drawn out puzzle. “Will this history class work? Or maybe this astronomy class instead of biology? Oh wait, do I still need a lab?” Ugh. It’s annoying. What’s even more weird, is that when I talked to an advisor about my transfer plan, I was told that the classes I took at SFSU can be used as transfer credits to go back to SFSU. That just seems a little circular to me. I mean, yeah, I did the work there, so I guess they still count. Whatever. My head hurts too much already. I can’t wait to get into it deep and dirty. Yeah. Il me tard beaucoup de parler français toute la journée, tous les jours.
What else.
Oh, I upgraded to WordPress 3.0. All by myself.
I guess that’s all.
