i dropped all my classes last quarter, but when i say "drop" i actually mean i took F's in them since actually dropping would've been a withdrawal from the university and have resulted in my being forced to repay my financial aid as well as not qualifying for aid this quarter and possibly not even being able to attend since i'd have to reapply, etc. so, i decided to just stop going, take my F's, keep my money, and register for the same classes this quarter so i can get my A's, get more money and move on. it was the right thing to do, although it seems highly irresponsible and flaky.

so, last night i walk into my econ class (a different one from last quarter since that one's not being offered this quarter) and lo and behold, half the people in the room are from the class i bailed on last quarter, one where we had a major group project we were working on, and me never even making phone calls to people. yes, that part is irresponsible and flaky. i've seen a couple of those people since then because they would come into the brit where i was working or i'd see them on campus or whatever, but i'm talking there's like 10 people all looking at me going, "wow, you're not dead and although we're glad, we kind of want to make you dead". it was semi-disconcerting. but, being the honest sort of girl i am i just explained to them that i had a messed up year, that it was a new year and i was myself again and glad to see them all so they could get to know the real me.

then, i had to ask one of them (who, by the way, i think is totally hot and i've wanted to squirrel away into my lair for some time now) to take notes for me on thursday since i'll be in SF, which was met with replies all around of, "yeah, and you won't be here next tuesday or thursday or the one after that or after that..."

living down fuckups is no fun, but i'm up to the challenge because i know it wasn't me, i know i'm back stronger than ever, and i have always lived for proving people wrong. i'm contrary and will prove you wrong even if i don't want to, but in this case i do so i'm even more determined. i think that's a good outlook.

trilobyte, it's called "electrical sensitivity syndrome". i've already babbled enough for one entry so i'll go into more details about my experiences another time, but basically, i used to joke that i had an over abundant enectrical charge in my body because of the things that happen to me all the time, and it turns out it's not a joke. at one point last year i found a site that gave me a name for the disorder as well as confirming for me that i'm not insane. in fact, princeton is doing a study on it right now. here's a couple sites for you to check out:

enjoy!

watched unerworld with ebin and my kilted boy-toy last night. very satisfying movie. i want to try that jumping off the building and just walking away with a little bounce trick that she does. you know, since i can't die and all. it looks cool and would really mess with people who were threatening to kill you by throwing you off a tall building.
