uh, classes already?

so today was, well, day #1 of class. aside from the snooty professor who was obnoxious when I e-mailed her a very simple I-stay-on-top-of-my-work-where-can-I-find-this-password-to-access-the-readings-on-the-website-that-are-due-next-week all went well. like, sorry I didn't know the password when you didn't write it anywhere. le dur. this kind of shit always happens to me BECAUSE I'm on top of my work and try to do it in advance. and why should I apologize? if she wanted these readings to be done she should have included a password or just made me buy a damn book! I really hate people who are moronic. and she's a professor too. my professor. ugh. people should really think ahead more frequently.

aside from that lady & navigating the very confusing hunter building -- not plural -- today, it was overall a very good day. classes seem interesting and exciting and, I really have to say, I cannot wait for my anthropology class. and my psych class. even though anthro is with snooty lady from paragraph #1.

snooty made a good point in class today when she was lecturing about language and how it affects sexism and genders in culture. she said that english is one of few languages that doesn't gender-ize common nouns. very true. have noticed that before. but I hadn't thought about how it affected the way people were perceived in cultures. it's very empowering to give common nouns a gender because it makes both sexes equal, or at least it gives us insight into the different roles that objects play in a person's life because of the division. for example (one of hers) la mesa -- spanish for "the table," female. maybe it has to do with the association of women around a table because, well, when women get together we sit around a table, eat and chat. there we go.

dinner with mom at land, yummy yum yum. night ended with jersey shore on floor 2 (my floor, FINALLY something on my floor) which was pretty exciting and had a lot of people shouting at a screen.

for some new music check out all tiny creatures v. bon iver, very mellow and moody. yum. thanks for that, pma.
