Okay, so this is the only logical conclusion I can come up with. Since http://dumbgenius.diaryland.com isn't at all that hard to remember, who ever's going to my site via the google search "walbert young requiem for a dream" is doing so under the mistaken notion that googling me will make it harder for me to track them. Well, let me tell you right now; usually, I don't give sitemeter so much as a second thought. But a search like that has got to be the biggest red flag I've ever seen...
Either that, or Ericson decided that he wanted to be an asshole and push my buttons. Which is, at once, both very possible and very unlikely.
Yar.
First day of class was interesting. My teacher for Western Civilization specializes in East Asia, not Europe, and he has an accent remarkably similar to that of the crazy professor in those videos Mr. King would always show us in Hell. He pronounces "penalize" as "PEEN-a-wise" and seems to like the word "expeditious" almost as much as Heimbecker likes the word "utilize" (which, in case you don't know, is a lot). Here's a quote he said: "He's standing there eating food, another animal gonna eat him, yah? YEE-HAH!" He also feels the need to use the words "mens" and "womens", as in, "The mens did the hunting, the womens did the gathering."
He told us this story about his new SUV, and how it stopped in the middle of the road, and how he freaked out and called the guy who he bought it from; the guy promptly sent a mechanic, who informed our teacher that the car wouldn't move because he was attempting to drive it without gas.
Also, our teacher didn't know what our textboook would be until we showed it to him.
Oh, and he let us out a half-hour early after giving us a ten minute break in the middle of the session.
In conclusion, he seems extremely imcompetent (albeit, in a rather amusing and light-hearted fashion), and I'm somewhat worried about taking a course taught by him which has only two grades: a mid-term and a final.
Fortunately, my English Comp teacher seems to be very competent, and very friendly, and I'll be sitting in this class with the only other half-Filipino I know, Meg.
I had class from 8:00-1:10, and then stayed in the library from 2:00-6:00 doing my homework, and it seems as though this will be the routine for the rest of the summer semester. *sarcasm* Yay. */sarcasm*
Mango, who last updated his diaryland nearly three months ago, has informed me that his mother told him I (and by "I", I mean "Erik", who called and pretended to be me in my presence) left no number to be called back at. Oi, it's no wonder Mike's the way he is...
Anyway, because it looked like a half-decent survey, I swiped this from Megan (not to be confused with filo-Meg):
