My that was fast...

...Well hello there mr. feburary(sp?)...haha i know, those words are staples of most 2nd grader's word list, and probably were on mine as well..but anywhoo, no need for all that specificity...the point is just that in a few hours it wont be january anymore, itll be that other month following it...but alas i digress..or fail to progress, because i never really started anything...............
I am now convinced of several things :
1.) it will take nearly forever for me to actually have a 'real' class in my international relations class..not for lack of textbook*its a very nice 2008 edition, with an amaaazing array of interactive resource material online and such* buuuut..ding! ding! problem = the professor is like hot outta the warmer..as of yesterday we had no definite schedule set as far as how class was going to go...but you must wonder: chris its nigh 1/4 of a semester into the class, there must be some sort of order..some sort of pattern!?!..the pattern is along the lines of coming to class, messing with either A. a locked door and waiting for security to amble toward the classroom and ask "is this the room locked up?" ..."ahh, no sir we just decided to have class outside today, but we are focusing on the deeper meaning of what the door could mean, and how its holding back our modern society....'' -hello McFly!! open the damn door....anywhoo, or there's the ever possible choice B.) no students show up until 15, 20 minutes into class..thus forcing little ms. "im new and compassionate" to wait and laugh off their tardiness for a class that isn't some 8am gig...but rather an 11 o clock affair...anywhoo either way the class never kicks off on time..and even if it did...it wouldnt matter because: --> originally we were scheduled to go up to New York for a model UN confrence, so the course would be geared toward pre indoctrinating the selected few to understand how exactly one makes a presentation* i skill i thought most people mastered in high school...ahemm* anywhoo, so the Rotary Club is the one who came up with the whole idea of us goin up to NY..as in they are/were down to pay for it...they presented it to dr.francis..and when she tried to register it turns out it was closed since october!!! its almost funny in that really really sad sort of way...like when you see a fat kid fall down,but you know he's hurtin'..its sad, but still kinda funny...anyway so my baloon was popped since we aren't goin to NY, but if i can get her to push the rotary to fund us on a trip out to the west coast, as i did some research about model UN's still open...we could be on..but we'll just have to see about all of it..BUT the point is, that a class that is based more around the interworkings of multinational governments has been reduced to a little over an hours worth of "well what are we gonna do this time....'ahh come now, don't staart thaat agaaain" (the vultures from jungle book...just read it with an accent...someone, please get it!!) yeah so we have yet to cover little more than an introduction...BUT there was almost a glimmer of hope, in that on about the 3rd day of 'vulture talk' she went ahead and assigned chapters for each memeber of the class to teach...ever the motivated chap that i am..i took the next chapter and was upset to learn id only have an hour to talk about foreign policy :( ...i had this awesome slide show presentation all set up to go, some 33 slides of amaaazing material, with a little of that "cockrell flair" of spice and pizzazz..lets just say all was good to go..and then! the technology fairy just reached down and cut the chord! so no presentation for me...and no sign of me getting to go again...oh well it happens..
In other news, my lit. professor is lame!...really lame, and totally unwilling to listen to another opinion, one that isn't trying to refute his, but just add a different perspective to his more narrow view of things...it sucks...but i get by
no class tomorrow, so looks like its the beach by noon
