First off, I think a congratulations is in order for our new President, Barack Obama. I did get a chance to watch the inauguration this morning and, now that I had the joy of voting, it actually was interesting. I wanted to watch his speech if nothing else and gladly, I did. I saw a bunch of people sliding on the frozen pool by the Washington Memorial and I said to one of my friends, "Ya know, I bet it would be rather embarassing to fall on my ass on national television." True story. After I said that, someone DID fall and I found quite hilarious. Haha.

Ok, enough of that.

So today, I had 3 classes (Tuesdays/Thursdays) and I love my teachers those days. My first class was Sociology (I know, gross ... blah blah blah) BUT my teacher, Mr. Brainerd, is awesome. He was talking about having nice houses, the prettiest women, the best food, and after a dramatic pause, he goes, "I bet you all think I'm some big piece of white trash." Not at all, Mr. B .... :D

So then I had lunch in the Caff, watched the inauguration, yadda yadda yah. Then I had Philosophy (I know, gross again ...) and my teacher there, Mrs. Hines, its pretty... awkward. She's like literally on the brink of 80 years old but she's doing damn good for herself. But anyway, today we talked about moral theories and all that jazz. She was reading from our book (which is scary to look at btw) and she says, "Let's leak on down to the bottom here..." Yeah. Leak. Way to go, Mrs. H. Sadly, she didnt realize she said "leak" instead of "look" and kept going. Reading that is. Not leaking. Perverts. LOL. Just kidding. So she keeps on reading and finally says something like this, "Is anyone in here normal? I know I'M normal but are you?" *insert dramatic pause* "I'm only kidding. Nobody is normal. It's like being perfect. Not gonna happen." It's not really funny but it's a true quote. After like ten minutes or so had passed, we talked about girls and sports. So she says (screams, more or less), "Girls majoring in Physical Education or Physical Therapy, or ANY girl who plays a sport is a lesbo, a dike, a homo, a butch. Whatever you call them." This kinda hurt; dike is a mean word, guys. I'm bi so I've been down the road of being called a dike. It's not fun. Dont say it. It's like saying something is "gay" is something to you is stupid. Dont do it. But it was funny for my friend who just happens to be majoring in Physical Therapy. Haha. This next quote I wrote down, I dont remember what we were talking about (knowing my teacher, she tends to babble half the time) but she says, "If you're sane, you'll go with the flow and NOT do anything drastic." Ha. Yeah. That's a "That's what she said" moment. So, I'm not sure why we were talking about the holocaust, but everytime Mrs. H attempted to say holocaust, it came out like "hollow-cause". I know she's old, but thats what makes it more funny to me. One last thing. She was talking about her niece's son, and I guess he's mentally challenged (sorry if that's the wrong term) but she goes on to talk about how his mother always beat him, slapped him, burned him, all that stuff. And I dont stand for child abuse so I stopped listening. But what she said afterwards caught my attention. She said, "He only has handicaps because his mother is an IDIOT!" She practically screamed that one too. Can't wait to see what she has in store Thursday.

Sorry this isnt in my usual format. I didnt feel like it today. LOL.

Have a happy January 20, 2009!
