Sep. 20th, 2008 11:43 pmIf those fuckers upstairs aren't pregaming and shut off that racket soon I'm gonna have to cut a bitch.
Actually I think that's Matt's room? Hmm.
AARGH I HATE LIVING IN DORMS. However there is still hope. If they go out in a bit, they'll turn it off... but if it's Matt's room he was talking about not wanting to go out this weekend. But I don't know if it's his. Blehhhhh.
Well, it's better than bongos, I guess. That was last year- this fucker would play the bongos nonstop at all hours of the day and night right. over. my bed. And the ceilings are asbestos, so you can't even bang on them with a broom handle.
Tomorrow I have a metric ton of homework and CAC. For Arabic I have to write a sentence, along the lines of: "The city of Medina in the country of Saudi Arabia. The city of Dallas in the state of Texas in America. The city of Binghamton in the state of New York in America."
I can't spell in Arabic worth shit, so this should be interesting.
I also have to do my annotated bibliography for B&E and a reading for Latin. I think I might work on my center adagio, too, if I can find time and space. Theoretically, no one will be in the common room at eight in the morning (all hungover and sleeping) so I can work some practice time in there.
Hurrrrrr what an uninteresting entry.

Oh hai LJ.
Sep. 20th, 2008 09:44 amAt long last I have internets back on a full time basis. It took a while to get it up and running, even after I came back to school, since they put my computer in "quarantine" for some reason, meaning that my ISP address was restricted and I couldn't access anything. I guess I could have gone down to the pods, but they've got such an overflow of people this year that it's impossible to get one unless it's three in the morning. They have so many people that they're dorming them in lounges. Christ's sake, Binger, I know you want to be a big name school but come on. Pace yourself a bit.
Summer vacation was insane. Here it is.
~ AMA and cosplay insanity.
~ Sand fleas? Scabies? Mysterious rashes strike again.
~ Am now a figure model.
~ Was in an independent horror movie! I got to kill Matt wheee!!!

~ Moved to a new apartment.
~ Came back to school.

~ Latin is Latin. It will never change.
~ Taking Arabic. I'm a terrible speller.
~ TAKING BALLET FOUR DAYS A WEEK I AM IN HEAVEN.
~ Medieval building. Yay.
~ Circus arts: I almost never go (damn schoolwork) however, I did decorate the table at the block party.
~ Anime club. lol.
~ Just joined fashion club. Am the only person with a sewing machine on campus.
~ Might be getting a job at a vet's office.
~ GRAD SCHOOL APPLICATIONS AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mar. 13th, 2008 12:17 pmDear Binghamton,
YOU SUCK.
No love,
Feather.
I am a medieval studies major. I came to this school because they had an (alleged) very good medieval studies program. Not so much.
There are fourteen courses offered for medival studies next semester. ONLY TWO OF THEM ARE TAUGHT IN ENGLISH. And actually? One is only taught in half-English; the rest is in Italian but it's not required to speak it fluently. That's Dante's Divine Comedy, which would be all well and good if I was, you know, a fucking literature major. ARRRRGH. The other course that's open to me is Medieval 101- MEDIEVAL 101!!! Guess what you do in that joke of a course? You learn how to study the Middle Ages. You don't actually study them. You just learn how to. Not to mention that they got rid of 204 and 205 completely, which kind of sucks. 204 was the Early Middle Ages and 205 was the High Middle Ages; I've already taken 204, which 101 is a rehash of. I don't want to sit through half a bazillion desert saints again, for christ's sake. Everyone's pissed about it but there's nothing anyone can do because it's the director of the program's personal pet project or something, and she made it a graduation requirement.
Kicker: I'm going to be a senior next year. I need 28 credits in my major of 300 level or above to graduate.
I AM NOT GOING TO GRADUATE. THIS MAKES ME INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATED.
Plus, apparently, I also have to take an American History course, and a "C" or "J" course. C/J= composition and joint composition and oral, respectively.
WHAT THE FUCK WAS I WASTING ALL THAT TIME ON UP AT OCC IF NOT FUCKING COMPOSITION CLASSES AND PUBLIC SPEAKING, YOU DEPLORABLE MOTHERFUCKERS? AND YOU WANT TO MAKE ME TAKE FRESHMAN ENGLISH- FRESHMAN FUCKING ENGLISH!!!!! OVER AGAIN???
I am going to need Valium before I go to deal with these people, or someone's going to get hurt.
...
Note to Jade: if you went here, you wouldn't be in Harpur (the liberal arts college.) You wouldn't have the bizzare no-classes problems, so don't let this rant get to you too much.

YOU SUCK.
No love,

Sep. 6th, 2007 10:34 pm1. What legal measures did Diocletian take against the Christians in 303? What were some of the objectives of this legislation? Were these tactics effective? Why or why not?
We've gone over this upmteen stupid times. Why are you making me write it out in a formal answer? You've lectured on it for a week and a half and I'm going into a second discussion on this tomorrow. Diocletian was pretty straightforward. Sacrifice to the gods, you idiots, or I'm going to pwn your fugly Xtian faces. WHY IS THIS HARD FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND? WHY DO WE KEEP HAVING TO GO BACK OVER THIS GROUND EVERY FUCKING CLASS?????
2. How did the laws of Constantine and his son Constantius seek to regulate the Jews and other seemingly problematic religious groups so strictly? Why do you think that these measures were promulgated at the same time that Christianity was given such favored status? Why was it deemed necessary to make these exceptions to the practice of religious toleration embodied in the Edict of Milan (313)?
Oh my fucking Christ. Who gives a shit. It’s ten thirty at night and this has to be typed out to satisfy your dumb ass. I should write it out in Victorian goddamn cursive, just so it’s not easy for you to read. Teaching isn’t supposed to be easy. Fuck you and your stupid times new roman. I’m giving up computers because they give me headaches. How do you like them apples?
...
It's late. I'm tired. I'm swamped with tons, literally, of homework.
The Snapes in my life want 4,000 feet of parchment on the topics of Koranic scripts and Egyptian Arabic, all of early Christianity, Saint Foi (whoever the hell that is) and all the cases and declensions of Latin words by Monday. There will be quizzes.
I really need a solid night's sleep.

Aug. 26th, 2007 01:43 pmYeah. I'm here. I'm in one piece.
Roommates: are cool. Probably not people I'd hang out with normally, but they're really nice. They have lots of shoes, which I admire, as I do not have many shoes, but love them. They like to go out and party and things. Which is cool. I, however, am a geeky old lady, and don't get up to those youthful shenannigans anymore.
(Except for the orgies at my house. And the rockin' parties of my own. Hijinks in the dungeon and costume contests. Long short is: I feel weird getting drunk with children.)
I've made a few friends. It's great- everyone here is hella smart. I've found some geeks to get geeky with.
My room's all right. I posted pictures of it on my myspace, so you should all go and check them out.
Classes start tomorrow. I have Latin first thing in the morning. The post office is also open tomorrow, so I can mail some things. This is exciting.
Nothing else going on, really.
You should all go check out my myspace because it roxxors. It's kind of a little bit cool, now that I've added a background and such.

Apr. 28th, 2007 02:00 pmThis week I'm a receptionist. The office I'm working for does social work. They have 15-20 various programs dealing the the justice, youth, and health systems.
This has its ups and downs. I answer phones. I hand out stickers that say "visitor." I route calls where they're supposed to go. I surf the internets. I have unlimited access to the water cooler. I open the mail and stamp "received" on it. I am a receptionist prodigy, apparently, because I picked all of these things up in a matter of hours. They still poke their heads into the front, asking if I'm sure I'm handling this okay?
I get hit on a lot. In three days, I've had three invitations to lunch, five "what's-your-situation" discussions, two "call me's?" and an innumerable amount of moo eyes and attempted flirting.
I don't particularly like it. Generally I get that sort of thing on the bus stop, but at least there I'm somewhat protected by my giant headphones of death and my amazing ability to look at nothing and pretend I don't hear anything. I can't really do that behind a desk. Thankfully the people that come in are ususally headed to the back quickly, so they don't have an excuse to stand around and chitchat.
Everyone there is nice, both the employees and the clients. I really hope this assignment lasts more than two weeks.
...
I've had the sinus headache from hell this week. Is it the weather? (Probably.) Is it being in stale office air all day? (That too.) All I know is I'm sick of feeling sick. I've thrown up every day. I'm feeling a little better right now, but only when I don't move for a while, and how the hell is the laundry going to get done and the house going to get cleaned when I'm in this condition?
...
Quinn still looks like Duncan. More than ever, now. Phil and I were watching Edward II on Sundance last night, and at one point Edward (Duncan/Steven Waddington) walks out of the shadows dressed in a tuxedo. We started screaming because it looked exactly like a picture of Quinn in his tuxedo. Tamara thought it was eerie and went back downstairs. Quinn was amused until Phil blurted out that Edward II was gay, and then Quinn was like, I look gay to you? and pretended to be hurt.
At some point I'll get screencaps and that picture posted.
...
This morning I was accused of looking like a stripper. I had on pajama pants and my hoodie zipped most of the way up. The only thing other than my hands and face that was showing was the top of my left shoulder.
This isn't the first time people have told me that. My shoulder must have been a stripper in a past life.
It's just my cross to bear.
...
Binghamton: YES OMG WE WANT YOU
Oneonta: YES OMG WE WANT YOU
Cornell: In order to finish processing your application we need [holy random list of shit batman!] Also, in order to waive the use of your parents' financial information, we need all of your parents' financial information.
Me: Bzuh?
...
I need some cake.
