Do you know what MTV went and did? They put the new Road Rules in Chile! Now I'm gonna have to watch it. They did this on purpose so I'd start watching their stupid shows. And its gonna work, too.

This is the way my computer science class goes:

1. Teacher asks how the homework is going.
2. Students complain, but receive no input.
3. Lecture notes are displayed and read out loud.
4. A student will comment on some discrepancy and ask what it means.
5. The teacher will say that she doesn't know, and ask the rest of the class if they have any ideas.
6. The students bounce around ideas, which may or may not be correct, by luck alone.
7. The teacher moves on.
8. Repeat steps 3-7 until the end of the lecture slides.
9. Class gets out 30-60 minutes early.
   

I found a new favorite word yesterday: scintillate. Pretty good, huh? I don't know if its actually more favorite than viaduct, but I sure like it a lot.

I'm in this art history class at the Salt Lake Center, and my teachers a little weird (but that's another issue), so there's this one kid that always has these great comments, but the problem is that he won't listen to what the professor says about it. So he has this really good question yesterday about this Goya painting, but instead of letting the teacher answer him, he starts trying to convince the teacher that he's wrong. That's a dangerous move. So the teachers like, fine if you wanna keep discussing this, see me after class, right? But the kid just won't let it go, and then when the teacher contradicts him, the kids all, fine, just drop it; and then the teacher got pissed. He's all, you're the one that keeps dragging it out, so don't tell me what I can and can't drop in my own class, and you need to learn your place, and I'm the teacher, and I've studied this for who knows how long and I think I know what I'm talking about. It was way uncomfortable. Sweet drama.

I got a new arch-nemesis this week. His name's Dan. I've never actually met him, but he keeps me awake at night.
