Slackin’
Mrm, I’m feelin’ pretty crappy about how lethargic I’m getting with my schoolwork. I failed to turn in my time sheet for the second week in a row, but that’s not horrible to anyone except myself. See, in newspaper production, the only time I really feel badly is if I don’t do something and it affects the paper or the other students. I’M A NICE PERSON NOT LOLOLOL. But for serials. Anyway, class is about to start, I’m just posting because it’s a moment in my life that it feels appropriate to waste by blogging about something nobody will find interesting. I’m getting very sleepy. I guess I’m working on the illustrations for some upcoming article about international students, which is funny ‘cause that’s also my beat to cover. We’re all assigned a topic to report or give story ideas about weekly. That’s fine and all, but it’s more an annoyance than you’d imagine. I have no clue about international students, and unlike the original health beat I was assigned (was asked to swap with another classmate because they were too closely involved in international student affairs to be seen as unbiased or something), it’s not like there’s a main e-mail I can write to and just be like, “SO WHAT’S UP, ANYTHING HAPPENIN’ WITH YOU FOREIGN FOLK?” …Not that that’d get me very far in the first place. Offensive plox. Don’t know if I already wrote about it, but that guy wrote back and was like, “I am sorry elise i did not no you had a boyfriend.” It’s like, okay. That’s fine. It’s no big deal to flirt with someone and try your luck (and don’t get me wrong, I find it flattering), but since when does offering to send a person a shirtless photo of yourself fall under the “okay” category? I don’t know, the guy might have an impressive set of pecs or abs under his baggy clothes, but it doesn’t matter. NOT TO SAY I WOULDN’T BE SLIGHTLY SWAYED, but yeah. No. I’m not exactly the definition of “prim and proper”, but I do have SOME social tact to me. And don’t give me that “DURR HURR IF IT WERE A WOMAN SENDING TO A GUY IT’D BE OKAY” crap. It is not. It is worse. Because women have breasts that are considered part of nudity. COME TO THINK OF IT, why are people in my age range SO intent on providing photos of themselves that could make them a laughing stock or give them an unwanted title? FOREPLANNING, PEOPLE. SHOULD I SEND PICTURES OF ME COPULATING TO THIS DUDE I LIKE? MMM MAYBE NOT. Mmkah, class time now.
