(no subject)

Oh my god... My fish jumped and I couldn't get him back in the temporary dish I had him in. I had to wake up Rebecca to have her help me... ><; I'm so glad I didn't go to bed with him in that bowl...
Stupid fish. *places cover on bowl*

dropped historical

Talked to my advisor today, and I dropped historical. That means I'm taking no linguistics courses this term.
(Well, it's not like I really took them any of my previous terms. ^^;)
I kinda wish I had dropped freshman comp. instead... I hate that class, and I think if I do the work I'd do much better in historical.

Now to get ready for c. sci. this afternoon, since I have a quiz and all.

「かっのさん」て誰？

*is in pain*
I just saw Kanno Youko's name written as よこ　かっの.
Ow. Just... Ow.

I hate freshman comp.

I am really starting to wish I had dropped freshman comp. instead of historical. I have to submit a thesis for a 750 word page paper on the definition of a multiculturally-themed word and aimed at a specific audience by midnight tonight. So far I've been working with the definition of Mormon with an audience of non-Mormon Christians, but it's not really going anywhere. Our pre-approved options are:

Culture - Christian - Jewish - Transsexual - Literature - Gay - Working class - Asian - Woman/female - European - Lower class - Yuppie - Old - Mainstream - Fat/thin - Over-educated - Christian Scientist - Rich - Multicultural - Bisexual - Mormon - Hindu - White - the Americas - American - Alternative lifestyle - Pagan - Modern/postmodern - Nuclear family - Dominant culture - Pacifist - Native American - Middle Eastern - Gen-X - Illiterate - Broken home - Luddite - Witch - Quaker - Immediate family - Lutheran - African - Handicapped - Radical - Feminist - Caribbean - Korean - Native inhabitant - Blue collar - Moslem - Latino/a - Baptist - Special needs - Buddhist - Hasidic - [Race/Culture]-American - Young - Handicapped - Marxist - Transgender - Lesbian - Hispanic - B'hai - Socialist/materialist - Hippie - Man/male - Broken home - Left wing/right wing - Black - Middle-aged - Politically conservative - Heterosexual - Chicano/a - Mentally ill - Politically liberal - Fundamentalist - Single parent - Able-bodied - Communist - Baby Boomer - Catholic - Environmentalist - Human rights - Foreigner

I can use another word if I get permission beforehand, though.

Ugh. Writing = t3h suck.

[EDIT: The working thesis I submitted was "Mormon in a nickname for a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, which is a Christian religion that believes in religious texts in addition to the New and Old Testaments, and in revelations from God in all ages." I think I'm going to change it this weekend, probably using a different term. I wonder if any of them would actually be significantly easier for me, though I doubt any would be easy. "Witch" might give me a lot to write about in terms of etymology.]
