Field of Darkness


New semester began today. I've already altered my schedule to switch myself out of the "Classical Literature" class where within the first half hour I checked my phone 7 times.
My schedule includes:
1. The Comics-a class on the place of the comic book/graphic novel in literature today. I tried really hard not to be judgemental in today's class, but someone knew every single copy of the Watchmen ever published and what the differences were.
Okay, maybe I could do that for certain records.
And clothing.
And I daresay certain books.
Alright, I'm done. Anyway, we're reading this book by Scott McCloud (DC comics mastermind) about the history/theory of comic books. I thought it was gonna be a bust, but its actually really neat. Its put together like a comic book but reads like a textbook.

2. Design II-I'm taking this class with graphic design majors and half the class is done on photoshop. Should be interesting.
3. American Literature-one of my favorite teachers is teaching this. We're reading the classics, mostly works I've already read. I'm excited for this class though, the professor always has these interesting, sarcastic viewpoints on everything. Today we talked for a while about me transferring and she gave me some really solid advice, err, push out the door.
4. Readings in Poetry-my teacher for this class is out of her mind. Loves it.

Just got back from a night of hanging and I am really looking forward to crawling into bed with my books. Tomorrow I have 1,000,001 things to do. I decided I am going to start involving myself more in activities. I was going to start boxing a while ago as a way to get rid of the aggression but maybe that is not the key at all. So I think I am going to try taking ballet or something that takes time. When I was 10 or 11 I took ballet and the teacher asked me not to come back because she said I didn't take it seriously enough. I'm also going to start taking yoga again and try and become a better person from the inside out. I also think I might have had it with meat. I don't know, something doesn't feel right about me eating it.

I'm working on some mixtapes for uploading, keep your eyes peeled.

For right now I'm listening to:
New Found Glory-Not Without a Fight
Cat Power-Jukebox
Swiz-No Punches Pulled
Dag Nasty-Can I Say
