Feb. 21st, 2005 03:18 pmWow, it's been a while. I just noticed I haven't updated since December 6th. That's insane.
I've been keeping busy. I'm taking two English classes (The Elizabethan Age and Women and the Literary Image) and a Women Studies class (Lesbian Lives and Culture), which means tons of reading. And I still have my part time job (of which I got promoted to Student Coordinator). And then I added running a student cafe.
It's called Rick's Cafe. It's an awesome little place done in the style of Casablanca (serving ice cream and cold drinks) in my dorm. It's pretty neat. My friend and I manage it. It's only open in the evenings, but there's still effort involved. Coordinating volunteers (nonprofit, completely volunteer driven, including us) ordering food, supervising, etc...
Can't really complain though. Rick's is awesome (and we have the coolest volunteers) and my classes are interesting. The Lesbian lives class has so much reading (we just finished a course packet nearly an inch thick) but it's all about lesbians, which keeps the interest level steady. Though I have to say that it gets complicated too, especially with lesbian identity concepts and such. We're now doing 50 minute presentations to finish off the class. I'm doing mine on Lesbian portrayals in in Mainstream U.S. film. (I'm sad though that someone else got to Lesbians on TV before me) I have 14 books on the subject sitting beside my desk. I'm sure my roommate is quite freaked out.
Though tragically, all this business is keeping me away from the important priorities: TV shows. I watch the essentials (Veronica Mars, Gilmore Girls) and download the rest (Scrubs, O.C. Joan of Arcadia, American Idol) but this means I can't get to the other stuff, like DVDs. I still haven't watched Buffy S7, or gotten any Angel DVDs. And there's my Wonderfalls DVD collection, which is woefully lacking with 0 DVDs. And I still haven't gotten to any of the ROTK commentaries. Nobody understands my pain ::melodramatic sigh:: (probably because it's imaginary, but still...)
