Madison 2009

So.. it really is the start of my final semester at Madison... Pumped, scared, drained, anxious - all feelings rushing through my body when I think about walking across that stage and making out with Bucky at the end (yea, I have a mascot fetish).

Some of my classes this semester seem promising, while others will be a test of my patience.

Sociology 134: Problems of American Racial and Ethnic Minorities - If I skip any class its going to be this one. It will be easy but so so boring and day one that girl smelled so bad next to me, it kinda turned me off of going to lecture for the rest of the semester. I don't do well in big lectures, it gives me like an anxiety or something (this one is 400) but the material is a joke, I need an ethnic study credit and there are more brothas in my class than I have seen in my 4 years at Madison combined.

Pol Sci 502: Development of Modern Political Thought - I walked into this class with the professor merrily playing the piano, ummm... I hear this class is a bitch, however, I need it and I think it has promise. We are reading things like The Republic (p bator tells me its worth reading), Nietzsche and Tocqueville. Whoo knows?!

PE 301: Swimming- Let's see after being kicked out of my original swim class, I embark on my new "advanced" one. Besides the fact that if I get hurt Ben Bator will be called (and prob. freak) it will be good to be back in the H2O b/c everyone knows I'm "better in the water" (its my SN - betr in da H2O if you never got that before).

Com Arts 662: Media Theory - I love media theory and I have an ongoing love affair with Professor Curtin, soo the continuation of this class series should be nothing short of satisfying. The only thing I hate is all the PHD and 3rd yr grad students in the class. Back off - I'm the one that needs to impress Curtin.

Legal Studies 450: Religion and Law - If my professor takes a Xanx before class it could be great. I like both subject matters so we'll see how well they fuse together. OHHH NOO - that really annoying girl with blue hair from another one of my classes is in it (she is also the bitch that works at college library computer lab). F-ING A.

My schedule doesn't seem that bad.. But there are things on my shit list already:

1. the looks people give me while I smoke/walk up Bascom (yea ik ik, smoking is over and its a nasty habit... i'm trying to kick it) but come on- its a hike up that hill and that cig is practically my inhaler, so take a step back, chill, and don't kill me with your glares.
2. People talking throughout class.. I'm not that into paying attention and listening but I'm not trying to hear about the D-bag you banged over break... chances are you prob. have STD - so if you don't stop I'm going to take a picture of you and post it all over campus with your "cute little" story below it.
3. The girl that lives above me- if you tell me turn down my music one more time I will slap you. N.A.S.A. can't be played on Bose speakers at minimal volume (its just laws of nature).
4. 3 of my last semester TAs in my classes as students - you prob. gave me a B and I can't believe I took anything you had to say seriously.
5. All the fucking people at the gym. Get over your new years resolutions and get off my tredmill. Where the F were you last semester? Not here.

If these don't go away - Its going to be a long long 4 months.
