i woke up late this morning, so i didn't make it to my chaucer class. i didn't have the book til 2:30 this afternoon anyway, and i figured since it's the second day it'd be okay. i just misused my time last night. i blew my nose again this morning five times til my ears popped to no avail. right now is the first time it's been clear and build-up free in a bout a week. praise the gods.
i'm going to be a geek and talk about my english grammar class because i like this. consider the following three lines:
my sister is peggy
she lives in arkansas
she has two children
now listen up, cause none of those are sentences by the traditional definition of a sentence. to quote house and harman (1950), "a sentence is a group of related words containing a subject and predicate and expressing a complete and independed unit of thought." okie, so line two and three are not independent; there's clearly an absent antecedent for she. all three of them share the fact that they are not complete; even if you were to group them all together as one sentence, obviously those aren't the only attributes peggy possesses. i love this class so much.
gah, i'm such a nerd.
i noticed a girl in there is in my physical anthropology class right afterward. she sat a couple seats down from me, but she moved before i felt inclined to say something to her. i would have, though. i ended up taking a little over two pages worth of notes in there today. i'm already in love with that class as well. human evolution. :purrs: love it.
i love being able to walk in front of cars on campus. i take advantage of it consistently.
yesterday, blockley asked us to tell her something we already knew about the history of english on our little note card of information, and i told her i could tell her why singular second person pronouns are no longer around. :grins: nerd-dom.
i bought my chaucer book at the co-op today. i had to look in the TC section, which is apparently some tutorial course for plan II honors. there was also sir gawain and the green knight in middle english and a book of middle english lyrics, with commentary on six poems and the poems themselves. there were a couple others, too. i almost bought it, but i'm sure i could find it somewhere else for cheaper than $9.00. i was so happy to see all these middle english books piled up, so i left before i spent all the money i have in the bank.
when i checked out ($12.99), the guy was like, "i'll let you use the special pen."
"cool."
"it writes so great."
"yeah, it does. thanks for the privelage."
"you're the only person i've let use it all day."
"i feel so special." which i did. i didn't say it sarcastically, as i'm sure it sounds right here.
i have to work saturday from 4:00 - 8:00 p.m. doing an event. that sucks, but alas, if i don't the rent shan't be paid. :sigh: i'm going to go drown in my sudden despair.
"perhaps someday the revelation will burst in upon me and i will see the other side of this monumental grotesque joke, and then i'll laugh."
