Pscyh and Monk: I miss you!!  

I especially miss Psych.  I don't know why.  I guess it's because the show's always random, not as serious/heavy with drama (unlike 24 or some of those other heavily dramatized crime shows), funny...I think it'll be back on next Friday.  But I have the season 1 DVDs to soothe me over until then (and the season 5 DVD of Monk.  Which may I say that I love Randy?  He's just great...).

The real reason for this entry, you wonder?  Besides me talking about Psych and Monk (and on the Pysch DVD I am seriously addicted to the outtakes.  The outtakes are hilariously funny, especially if it's just Dule and James on screen.  Then it's doubly hilariously funny.  Why don't they have outtakes for Monk?).

Well, I completed the first week of college.  (Yay!  Now where's my Psych and Monk to celebrate?  Oh, I know, they're not on tonight...*grumbles* should at least have a Friday to celebrate first week of going back to school.  And worse?  I didn't even know it was Friday.  I though it was Saturday, all because Pysch and Monk aren't on tonight.  I depend on TV shows to keep track the days of the week.  How sad is that?  Though it is quite useful, if I might say so myself...)

So Anthro 100, Intro to Cultural Anthropology, I like it.  It's a good class.  Though parking is, may I say, quite hell-ish.  Monday, the first day back to school, parking was literally jam-packed.  Like if cars were made of jam and parking was packed, then it was jam packed (I fail at jokes).  Yeah...but I expect that'll subside seeing that Mom and I discovered this one place to park.  Which hopefully it'll come in handy during those jam-packed parking days.

Then on Monday night it was Crime Scene Investigation.  Which I quite like so far.  It's only one day a week (whoot!   yay!), but it's at night, so I'm always tired.  But the class is good.  The teacher is good.

Then on Tuesday/Thursday afternoon it's English 101 at Santiago.  The teacher's name?  Sean Smith.  (I smile at Shawn.  Me hooked on Psych and all.  But this teacher?  Not as cool as Shawn.  Hey, did I mention that I miss Psych tonight??)  Anyway, turns out he's new at Santiago (but not to the entire teaching college thing, so, you know, sigh of relief, seeing that he has some experience at least in teaching at colleges).  He's also laid back, like a high school teacher, and he has analogies for everything.

So far he analogied (hey, is that word real?  'Cause if it's not then I made a new word!  yay!) The Princess Bride (which I just rented today.  Just so I can see Mandy Patinkin.  I mean I'm still pretty much pissed off at him for leaving Criminal Minds, but still...I've also heard that The Princess Bride is a classic/comedy/good movie.  Which is why I rented it.  So I can catch up on Hollywood classics.  Or just the basic classics), Star Wars (he was all like, "I know you don't get me now, but just think of me like the Yoda of English" or something like that.  It was funny, though, the way he said it), and many other movies.  It's sort of hard to follow his train of thought when he teaches but hey...I'll just follow analogies for now.  If that'll help get me through the class.

He also wants us to read the syllabus, especially the class topics or whatever they're called.  Points?  Stuff that we're going to go over in class?  Anyway, I forgot what they're called, but one day he was all, "So which topic/point/whatever it's called did I just mention?"  And then he was all like, "A dollar to anyone who answeres correctly."  And might I say that he did give out said dollar.  Which make me all like, "Ask another question!  Give out more money!"

At that point I embodied the total spirit that is Anya.  'Cause she cares about money, except spending it.  I care about money and keeping/spending it.  (Don't worry; I'm trying to hold back buying a lot of books.  I'm succeeding.)

To move on, Thursday night is Coroner Death Investigation.  Which is just boring as heck.  I blame the teacher because it's usually the teacher's fault whether a class is boring or not.   So teacher: I blame you.

But otherwise than that...you know.  So far I like Anthropology better than the rest of the classes.  Because, you know, I was thinking Blair Sandburg The Sentinel when I signed up for Anthro, and it seems interesting, and the teacher is good and dedicated to the subject, so I like is so far out of all my classes.

And now it's the weekend.  (Well, today, considering that I don't have classes on Friday, every weekend will seem like a three day weekend.  Except this weekend.  It's a four day weekend.)
