Ugh I always have SO many questions in class and I swear my GSI is getting annoyed of having to stay after every class for me. It's my World Politics class, and it's not that I don't get the material (international political economy), more like that I'm the kind of person who needs to understand every little thing she reads in order to move on. I can't go to her office hours because they're scheduled during my Econ lecture, which I cannot miss by any means. So she always has to stay after for me and I think in the beginning it was cool because it was like "Oh look someone who actually cares about the reading" but now I get the vibe that she's in a hurry and I'm just asking irrelevant questions that are too specific. But that's because I really like the class! And international relations is my major! And I am paying UMich $40K per year so aren't I entitled to ask as many questions as I want?!

So... decided I'm going to my prof's office hours tomorrow. Like, this guy is the most unapproachable prof ever. And I ALWAYS fall asleep excruciatingly obviously in his class (usually I can't even tell when I'm falling asleep and it's really obvious but the other day during lecture I could feel myself banging my head against the back of the seat because I was so tired and sleepy). He'll probably be really annoyed and just refer me back to the GSI. Should I give a disclaimer in the beginning? Like, "Ok I have many questions about the reading but that's just the kind of person I am so feel free to stop answering them at any point" no actually I would be really mad if he did that >:| BUT SERIOUSLY this guy is gonna hate me. Whatev, I pay his salary. BUT NO OMG WHAT DO I DO WITH ALL THESE QUESTIONS?! God, I'm such a nerd :D

( Fuck my life. )

Anyway. Completely useless post. But you get the point.

Speaking of which - my new icon. Prepare for an epic Christian Siriano Spring 2010 post.

Dunno how this weekend went by so fast. I was REALLY supposed to do good this weekend. As in like, managing my eating and getting work done. So that didn't happen. Fuck I'm so sick of this I just want this weekend to last a few more days because everyone's coming back tomorrow and I just need to get work done and do my own thing and I really don't want to see people for some reason. I'm sick of people just coming into our room and complaining about random shit or telling us drunk stories because I really don't give a shit and I find drinking repulsive anyway. Dunno why but I'm feeling so anti-social lately. I stayed in the dorm and everyone went home for Thanksgiving break. The whole place was so nice and peaceful. Despite my complete failure of a break due to not getting anything done, under control, etc., it was really nice just to be by myself. Gah. Tuesday can't come any sooner. I need, like, a portable therapist.

1936 – Hitler remilitarizes Rhineland

• Britain’s like EHHH whatever, I guess they have the right to station troops on their own land. Not worth fighting him over this.
• France is more like OMG OUR SECURITY but ugh what if Hitler’s troops are super strong. AND OMG BRITAIN NOT BACKING US UP uggghhhh guess this mean I have to acquiesce? Fml.
• HITLER BLUFFED!!!!!111!!!1!!. AHAHAHAH SUCKERS – Hitler. Lol the German army was still weak at this point.

Oh dear god, I am having way too much fun with this.
This is unacceptably amusing.

Here, have this cool but completely unrelated picture that I like:

orientation was... EHH... ok, i suppose. i met some pretty cool people and i'm really excited about my classes this fall: intro to world politics, intro to microeconomics, intro to psychology, and research :D no math or science muahahaha >:D lol i love that whenever people asked me what i'm studying, i'd be like "I AM MAJORING IN ~*~*~SOCIOLOGY~*~*~." although i'm not sure anymore, i might end up taking the psych route instead (damn it psychology, why must you be the most popular major at UMich, why can't you sound as indie~ and elite*~*~* as sociology). idk the upper-level psych classes sounded amazing - ie. Political Psychology, Social Psychology, Psychopathology. I WAS ANGRY ALL THE PSYCH SEMINARS WERE FULL!  oh well, anyway wtf area distribution requirements!  a quarter of all the classes we take have to be in the natural sciences, humanities, and social sciences!  i mean, not that social sciences is going to be hard to cover at all, but mannn i'm not paying for UMich to get a comprehensive liberal arts education.  idk, why don't they just have interdisciplinary majors? those kinds of majors are so awesome and unique and completely useful! PERHAPS INTL RELATIONS, SOCIOLOGY, ECON, AND PSYCH COULD MERGE TO BECOME ONE AMAZING DEGREE :D

my MRC meeting went pretty well, except the 3 other guys in my group were total douchebags.  they kept interrupting our advisor guy while he was talking to ask questions like:

guy #1: "so, what is research anyway?  i mean, i don't think any of us here have ever done research."
me: *chimes in* "actually, i've done a bit of research in high school."
guy #1: "UHH... i don't mean looking stuff up on the internet."
guy #2: "yeah, he means like working in an actual lab!"
me: "yeah, my friend and i helped my dad do some research that we presented to the American Chemical Society."
guy #2: "that's pretty cool."
me: >:|
