Untitled (Because isn't that how life goes sometimes?)

So here we are! I've almost made it through an entire week of class, and have not died yet! I know, that to the normal creature I live the so-called "life of Riley," but... what am I saying! I have the greatest life!

Summer classes are the best. One of my teachers today wore a P-Groove shirt, and the other made fun of horror movies, claiming that they made it seem that all teenagers, who go out to the woods and park there cars, are going to be struck to Hell by Hades and killed by a crazy-scary-chainsaw-bearing-nut. One of the funniest phrases of the day was, "Everyone who has had sex, has died, or will die. It's a fact." So besides the quirky comments, and odd wardrobe, the Milledge bus is NEVER crowded, and always on time. I've been riding my bike to class some, but have retired little-red while I await a helmet (considering my clumsiness, I really should never even look at a bike without one).

Another spectacular Athens thing about summer school, is all of the freebies! Last night Michael and I went to Tate to see Alice and Wonderland, fo free! Not even a dollar... we just flashed our student ids and were in! Another great, almost freebie... Two Dollar Tuesday's at Moe's! So who knew, but apparently it's an Athens treat that the second Tuesday of every month, Moe's sells there burritos for just $2! What a steal!

Anyway, I'll try to update more often! I've been swamped with reading, reading, and more reading, but I will make time to blog!

Ah, There's The Rub...

Class starts tomorrow, and I cannot wait! I know that sounds lame... but let's face it, sometimes I don't feel like a student without that mild panic that comes with school. I'm a little worried about taking three summer classes, everyone I talk to seems to think it is a real bad idea... oh well!

"To be, or not to be [an English major], that is the question" -Hamlet, Shakespeare
Yes, you may not remember that line in the play, but it was there... Don't believe me? Alright, I made it up. But that is how I feel! I know that English may seem random, but the more and more I think about it, the more I feel pulled in that direction! My one concern is that I haven't had an English class in over a year, and that I'm going to be the worlds behind and my essays are going to suck... Is it worth the risk? I'll let you know...

Athens Humor

This was written on a sign outside of a bar in Athens, Ga:
The Beers Prayer
Our beer, which art in barrels,
hallowed be thy drink.
Thy will be drunk,
I will be drunk,
at home as it is in the pub.
Give us the day our foamy mead,
and forgive us our spillages
as we forgive those who spill against us.
And lead us not into incarceration,
but deliver us from hangovers
for thine is the stout, the bitter, and the lager.
Forever and ever -Bar Men.
