crazy

i haven't updated for a while. i'll skip over most of the details from this week because, frankly, i don't remember much of what happened.

the week started out on monday with classes galore and a candid talk from chuck klosterman. in person, klosterman was a lot older and more funny. he discussed how hot topic is going out of business due to the rise of the ipod and internet, critically analyzed britney' spears' upbringing, and answered really hilarious questions about what's indie and what's hipster. i dragged katie along with me after our full day of classes together and it was the best end to a long monday. tuesday was voting day! i voted! and the rest of the week was all work, class, eat, sleep, repeat.

actually, today was exciting. i experienced my first mental institution. i did a walk-through (through?) the space with other various architects/contracts from work, since i just completed its interior design. it was about how i expected- something straight out of 'girl, interrupted'. some people were rocking back and forth in the corners of padded rooms while others were shuffling through corridors in nightgowns. it was pretty eerie and smelly, making me terrified of going crazy someday. after work/the mental institution today i took an exam (not very well) with the professor that spells things like "restauration" (restoration, her specialty- go figure) and "sentances" and did not regret my anti-studying behavior at all. i am not sure failing the course is the right way to go about rebelling against her terrible teaching but it's all i've got!

so, i do actually do some stuff during the week, it turns out. this makes me feel better about those times when i sit on the couch and flip through every channel on the television until i choose about five mediocre things to watch simultaneously, spending most of my time flipping back and forth between them. yay! tomorrow i am going home for the weekend and starting to get excited for the oscars...
