So I’ve been stealing a lot of stuff lately. Everything’s very innocent, of course. It’s not like I’m out there busting a cap on someone and stealing their car. Just harmless stuff. So far the tally is 2 drink menus, one from Curlers and one from Buddha, and an entire jug that was left outside of Curlers the other night. It’s a pretty good sized jug and probably fits a good number of beers inside of it, but I have to clean it before I use it. The girls are convinced it has been peed in and thus, is unacceptable to drink out of until it is thoroughly rinsed. Agreed.
Classes are going fine. Lectures are for the most part boring, but they aren’t really supposed to be exciting when you’re hearing someone drone on about the different types of satire that existed when Swift was writing Gulliver’s Travels over 300 years ago. Tutorials are even worse since I hate being put on the spot and I feel like I don’t know nearly as much as everyone else does since they’ve been studying the same books for years and years, whereas I’ve never read half of the books that people here have read. For being an English major I really haven’t read all that many books. More than the average American, sure, but not to the extent that people out here do. They read a lot more of the classic novels; we tend to stick to the traditional American novel. Great Gatsby, Catcher in the Rye, etc.
There’s a concert out here this Saturday for Jenny Lewis, who is the lead singer for this band I really like back home, Rilo Kiley. They’re an indie band that no one has ever heard of, but I still love them. Molly, Erica and I are all going to see her so that’s the only really big plan for this weekend. Drinking, surely but other than that nothing too exciting.
I’ve got to get writing my 2 papers due on the 31st for my 2 classes this semester since I have a feeling they are going to take a lot of reading, research and effort to get going and get through before they’re at the level that I’m going to want them to be at. I definitely can’t put them off until the last minute since they’re worth so much of my grade and I don’t think I could bear with the idea of turning in something I didn’t feel confident with. I haven’t written an actual essay in a while either, so it’s going to be interesting getting back into the writing groove but it has to be done.
Phillies need 1 more win to get to the World Series and the Rays are up on the Sox in the AL. Life is good in baseball. 49ers lost this weekend, but Sharks are starting off the season well. Warriors are in China right now, will be watching them tomorrow afternoon live from Beijing!
