Stupid Substitute.

Today we got a substitute teacher for Film Studies. I was surprised because our teacher never told us anything about him being away. Next week Tuesday he’s also going to be away. :sowhat At first this substitute was alright. His lectures were easy to understand and not boring compared to the lectures that are given by my regular prof. Then after we watched our daily movie, he started discussing the movie. Everybody in the class had to discuss or say something about it. We never do that with our regular prof so I was definitely surprised. He was asking people questions even though nobody raised their hand up. :slant But before that, we had a 10 minute break before the discussion. I was sitting behind him and as he was getting something from his desk, he looks at me and smiles. I smile back politely then he says “You know you were making alot of sounds in the background during the movie. You really felt the mood of the movie. Congratulations.” Mind you I wasnt really sure whether he said the last 2 sentences but I did hear a sort-of sarcastic congratulations at the end. I’m not sure whether he said that because I got up to go to the bathroom during the movie or because I slept half of the movie. I know that I dont snore… Unless I was snoring during the movie then he heard that then… I’m in shit but I wasnt really sure what he meant by that comment. :confused All I know is that he didnt give me a good vibe and I took it as something rude like “Shut up next time we’re watching a movie” or “Try not to sleep next time”. Anyway back to the discussion. He asked me a question and I answered it wrong. :paperbag Thank god I wasnt the only one that screwed up. :slant But still his questions made people pretty stupid. He didnt know that we never do this in class… So basically I hate the dude. Thank God he wont be our teacher forever. :yuck He’s only in for Tuesday and that’s it.

Aside from that, I bought a new backpack, memory card and sent in my financial forms. I even wrote a note on my hand to do those things. But I forgot to ask them information about the whole financial aid problems how $244 is not enough. Bleh. I think I might stop by tomorrow. :smile

Denise is 1!!

So my essay on auteurism of Anthony Mann is due tomorrow. It has to be a minimum of 8 pages. I always find it difficult writing long essays. My essays usually last about 5 to 6 pages depending on the topic. But I hope I can make a longer one for this one. I dont use “professional” words in my essays because to me, its like I’m bullshitting. I basically use regular words that a normal person would say. :bigmouth

Aside from that my sister turned 1 on Saturday. We went to a Chinese Restaurant. I ate right away because I have been craving sushi for the whole week. Yumm…:winktongue Then I got real full so I couldnt eat alot. Pictures will be posted in the photos section after this entry.

That’s it right now and maybe I will blog later once I finish this essay. :smile

edit: I just read my Provance email and it states that i have to comment on my site… Talk about doppelganger?!!:bubble :jump

1 major and 2 minors.

Apparently, I am majoring in math, minoring in philosophy and also minoring in astronomy. :lol2 What a joke is that. I had to pick those 3 instead of computer science as my major because all students of UT had to pick a subject post whether you are staying in the school or not. Subject post is basically a fancy name for major/minor. You can either have 1 major which is called specialist in my school or 2 majors or 1 major and 2 minors. So I decided to do the last choice. I am majoring on computer science though but in another school which I hope to go to this sept. If i dont, I am stuck with math, philosophy and astronomy. Dont get me wrong, I like philosophy and astronomy was one of the most interesting classes i have ever taken but I just dont see myself doing that. Plus I’m horrible at arguing in essays in Philosophy class. Math on the either hand.. i didnt do too well but you know I would rather do math than write an essay.. That’s just the way I am…

As for the day today, I decided to skip Film Studies. :rude I noticed that i have never once skipped it so why not today. So a friend of mine went with me to go window shopping. There wasnt alot of things to go to considering how it was raining. :irked The day went fine for we went to places that i have never been and those where i havent been in ages. Nothing else has changed… Even though the stores had a sales, it was still expensive…:slant Then we encountered some weirdos on the street including this guy in Tim Horton’s who kept on staring at us and this homeless woman who was yelling at someone and following us. She scared the crap out of us. I was also saying to my friend that I want a male homosexual friend. I’ve never had a gay friend ever male or female. I want to see what its like to have a gay friend…. Hmm…:look I only know one gay person online but we barely talk…:rosiecheeks

Anyway that is it right now. I am off to finishing my task. :smile

Work sucks

Nothing much is going on except for today I am working again. My boss decided to change the schedule without letting me know before hand. :slant I dont mind the extra hours considering how I need it to pay off my debts which has increased significantly since the incident but still it is plain rude. :yuck She shouldve called me first before changing anything. She decided to have a 4 day weekend and have me work for those 4 days. I am working on Monday even though its a damn holiday. So I do hope that i get extra $$ for that. Then its inventory soon which means more working hours. :sowhat Bleh and this means that i would have to finish my final essay before hand.

I received the pics of mostly my sis from futureshop. They turned out alright except for 1 where it was all blurry. I didnt know they were going to be blurry but oh well.. I also ordered a wallet size so I’m excited about that as well.

I think I will blog later for i have nothing else to say. :smile
