Random dilusional thoughts

The world has gone MAD today
and good's BAD today
and black's WHITE today
and day's NIGHT today
when most GUYS today
that women PRIZE today
are just silly jig-a-lo's...

Cole Porter has been in my head for about three days straight now. Hmm. Not sure how I feel about that.

Sometimes I wonder about volume things. For example, if somebody were to put all of the hair that I've ever lost over the course of my twenty years of existence, how much space would that fill? An entire room? What about how many tears I've cried? How big of a bowl would you need - could it sustain a fishfull of saltwater fish?

I watched the first three episodes of the first season of the hit comedy, "the Office." It turns out to be hilarious, just like everyone said.

MY OPI!!!!

Today, I was 14 minutes late to my French Teaching Methodology class. Dr. Maggie Nassif was giving me a mock-OPI, Oral Proficiency Interview.

She would have rated me right between Intermediate-high and Advanced-low.

ADVANCED LOW!??! WHAT!!! That's incredible! I'm so happy!!!!!! I speak Arabic!!!!!!!! She told me that I speak very fluently.

Goals and the new semester

I guess there are many goals for this semester. One of which is to write on this blog every single day. I think that would be great. And get A's. That would be great, too.

The power steering fluid in my car is leaking and it sucks worse than you can imagine. Well, Danny gave me a ride to work this morning. He's also giving me a ride tomorrow, and Liel is picking me up. I have great friends.

It seems that this semester will be fun, or at least interesting. I like the two classes I have so far. Met Madame Thompson, for the first time. She's in charge of basically...the whole French program here. Way intimidating lady. She looks a little bit like a toad-shaped Mrs. Wormwood (remember Calvin and Hobbes?) with beehive hair. Her accent is so beautiful. She's a super duper grammarian stickler for correctness on everything. She'll do my OPI later this year.

Danny and I went grocery shopping and it was sooooo fun.
