So I'm sitting here between classes trying to find something productive to do...and I end up browsing some random blogrings. For some reason this one kid's little summary of himself really stuck out...it was something like, "Hey, I'm 13 years old and single (I know it sucks)....blah blah blah."
Ok, this kid is 13 years old, and already complaining about not having a girlfriend. Does he really feel like he's a complete loser because he's 13 and is still single? I feel like I should clue him in on how dumb it is to have "boyfriends/girlfriends" when you're 13. But then I'd probably just be sounding like his mom, huh?
My happy moment for the day: today in my French phonetics class, my professor had me read this paragraph, and when I was done he said, "MALLORY! Felicitations! Tes "R"s sont parfaits! Je suis vraiment fier!" which translates into, "MALLORY! Congratulations! Your Rs are perfect! I am so very proud!" He had been trying for about a year now to get me to have that little phlegmy sound when I pronounce my Rs so I could sound like a real French person, and I had been resisting forever, because I like my American accent, and because it requires more brainpower to phlegm up the Rs. But today, they just came out, so maybe I'm learning something in this class after all! (I sure did just realize that that paragraph will be utterly meaningless to most people, but oh well, it's my moment of glory, deal with it .)
My second happy moment of the day: I know how to spell phlegm.

take that Rubik
Ba dum da dum....it's Friday! Which means homecoming is in full swing here at CMSU. I just got done playing at the pep rally...fun stuff. A little Bohemian Rhapsody is always the right medicine for a little pepping up, right?
I solved my Rubik's cube today, and it was a frickin sweet feeling. I also got to check out some awesome (and some not so awesome) karaoke in the Union during my Taco Bell lunch with Megan and Katie. I think "You've Lost that Loving Feeling" may be the ultimate greatest song to karaoke to EVER. Good job Nathan, I don't really know you, but you get the cool kid of the day award.
Ugh, I just remembered I have to call someone. I am so bad about returning phone calls, that's definitely something I need to work on.
OH, tonight before the pep rally I watched The Terminal with Hannah, she got it when she was in China, one of those bootlegged copies that's legal to buy over there. I liked this movie a lot more the second time around, probably because I was mad when I saw it the first time. We also tried to watch Spiderman 2, but it was a TERRIBLE copy...the English subtitles were from a different movie, and the picture wasn't even there half the time. Imagine watching Peter Parker talk to his professor, and the subtitles say that his professor is saying to him, "Today you were voted one of the 10 sexiest men in Orange County." I kid you not, that was a real scene that we watched.
