The weather predictions as of late have been playing a cruel game with us Pullman kids, as snow is consistently predicted about 3 days in the future, but the future seems to be unreachable as far as weather is concerned.
I'm gonna be honest: the only reason I'm really blogging right now is that I climbed into bed, realized I don't have my headphones with me, and am too lazy to climb back down and tear apart my recently cleaned room to retrieve them, just so that I can watch some pointless episode of a random tv show in Netflix. This brings me to my first point.
I kind of detest organization in the classical sense.
When my room is a mess, it tends to be because I place things in odd places (adurrrrrrr). The thing is, these odd places are the locations that I find most logical.
For instance, I have a pile of socks right by my chair as opposed to my sock drawer. Why? Because I generally sit down to put on socks, and its kind of hard to sit down on a drawer.
So when I desperately try to avoid homework or studying by organizing and reorganizing my living space, I tend to regret it shortly after. Not due to the fact that I hadn't studied, but simply because my room is too damn organized for me to find anything.
Next up, is trying new things. Mainly foods.
From a young age, my parents have encouraged me to try new foods before saying "ew."
9 times out of 10 my original "ew" prediction proves completely accurate.
Current case in point: the "Chef's creations" section of the nearest dining center, Southside.
They have this odd habit of serving foods from "around the world." My problem is that whenever something resembles actual food to the point where it may be edible, I hear my Mom's voice saying "Oh trust me, you'll like this."
And dammit Mom, YOU ARE WRONG AGAIN. I had tofu for the first and (hopefully) last time the other night.
In other news, math is stupid.
In the first week or so I was here, I managed to get into a conversation with a guy from my floor about our math classes.
He asked what math I'm in, and I replied "Eh, I'm kind of in retarded math... 105."
Silence for a few seconds, then his reply "Yea, I'm in math 99."
I'm relatively confident that my major will be largely decided by whatever course does not require a lot of math or science. I'd like to say that english would be in the category of classes I wish to not take, thanks much to my english 101 class. However, majors not including math science or english.... Well I could always work at the Racquet Club for the rest of my life.
So my english class. It's freshman english, and I'm the only freshman in the class. The amount of apathy produced by the other students in the class is nearly palpable, and seems to be rather contagious. The assignments, while not excruciatingly difficult, are rather unlike high school level papers (again adurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrh.)
Most of them revolve around research, and quoting things, and MLA format, and garbage like that.
In a sick sort of way I miss writing high school level papers. Honors english junior year is still by far the most difficult english class that I have been enrolled in, but at least the papers came from my brain, and not from someone else's. WSU goes on and on about plagiarism and how bad it is, which strikes me as a bit odd when the majority of my 5-7 page paper has to consist of what other people think or say.
Hmph.
Finally, this guy:
One week ago today, this guy hacked into all of the projectors of two buildings here at WSU, Todd and Sloan halls.
The video played once an hour from for all of the academic day in every class room of the two buildings.
No matter how you spin it, its impressive. WSU has a retarded amount of idiotic security that I'm assuming took quite some time to set up, and this guy completely bypasses it. Not only has he yet to be caught, he actually masked the location that the infiltration to place from, making it seem as though the action was performed from Elson Floyd's residence. (BTW, thats our school's president.)
Having been here for not even a full semester, I can already say that I like what the guy has to say. Several people reacted in a similar manner to when someone criticizes America, jumping to the conclusion that the naysayer is opposed to everything good and holy, when in reality they are simply making a legitimate point that we can learn from.
I guess I can say that I'm pretty interested to see what happens in 358 days, when it is again the 5th of November.
Oh, and I'm pretty excited for what happens in one week: Home.
P.S. Really elections? We are again stuck with Hastings and Murray, liquor sales are the same, and to top it all off prop 19 somehow didn't go through down in Cali town, and to top that all of the derps at Central got 4lokos banned in Washington.
And now I guess Imma go find those headphones.
