I got into Linguistics 204 yesterday, for the Winter term. This class is a prereq for the great majority of the senior level classes in my planned major. Why am I not taking it in the Fall term, you ask? Because it's Wednesday nights. I have
choir Wednesday nights. Finishing my degree in four and a half years instead of five and a half versus missing choir?
No contest.
Also, for today, my favourite song is Evaporated by Ben Folds Five. For your edification and in true blog-girl form, I'm going to post the lyrics! ... Behind this spoiler tag so you can ignore it if you like.
SPOILERS! (Click to view)What I've kept with me
And what I've thrown away
And where the hell I've ended up
On this glary random day
Were the things I really cared about
Just left along the way
For being too pent up and proud
Woke up way too late
Feeling hung over and old
And the sun was shining bright
And I walked barefoot down the road
Started thing about my old man
It seems that all men
Wanna get into a car and go
Anywhere
Here I stand,
Sad and free
I can't cry and I can't see
What I've done
And oh God, what have I done?
Don't you know I'm numb, man
No, I can't feel a thing at all
'Cause its all smiles and business these days
and I am indifferent to the loss
And I've faith that there's a soul
That's leading me around
I wonder if she knows
Which way is down
Here I stand,
Sad and free
I can't cry and I can't see
What I've done
And oh God, what have I done?
And I poured my heart out
And I poured my heart out
It evaporated
See?
Blind man on a canyon's edge
of a panoramic scene
Or maybe I'm a kite
That's flying high and random
Dangling a string
Or slumped over in a vacant room
Head on a stranger's knee
I'm sure back home
They think I've lost my mind
Here I stand,
Sad and free
I can't cry and I can't see
What I've done
And oh God, what have I done?
Mmm, breakups make the best music. Anyone agree?
Also, I'm depressed at all these ideas people are having for the next couple of weekends, as I am busy like whoa. I have training for Orientation at the u the weekend after this one coming up, and for this one coming up I have training for the volunteer position I'm starting during Orientation that I could explain but I'm truly just lazy so I'm not going to. In any case, I'm busy from like 9-5 both Saturday and Sunday both this weekend and next weekend.

Because it does. I discovered this while figuring out the spoiler tag, which isn't referenced anywhere in the FAQ or the help boards that I could find.
