Lies and falsehoods, Padfoot!

So I was in this lecture about the origins of the Hebrew Bible, (BTW Ari, if you read this, it's all extremely fascinating, maybe we could discuss it sometime? Well anyone who knows about it, not just Ari but I figured she'd know thw most...Anyways) and the guy lecturing us (who also happens to be the dean of the college) said "Jerimiah. Jerimiah was a prophet." And I turned to this girl next to me, Angela, and said "Jerimiah was a bullfrog" and she goes "What?"

Turns out she has never heard the first verse of Joy to the World. Like she knew it was a song, and she knew the chorus, but she didn't know that line. WTF? Who doesn't know that Jerimiah was a bullfrog? I sang that song in like fourth grade for a concert. (They edited out the bit about wine. Jerimiah does not have mighty fine wine with fourth graders. He has a mighty fine time though.)

I was as suprised that she didn't know what I was talking about as she was that someone was mumbling somthing to her about biblical prophets being amphibians. It was just one of those mutual "Huh?" moments.

Current Mood: confused

Today I

1. Sat next to Artie from my orientation group in Biology, because he was the only person I recognized. (I swear it wasn't because he's incredibly attractive and I have an instant crush on him. Really.) And it gets better because we then had to partner up so I actually got to talk to him.

I heart Biology. Our professor is awesome like woah. (He's the same guy as my advisor I was squeeing about the other day.)

2. Said not a single word in Varieties of Christinity, but eh. I was the only one in class who had seen Raiders of the Lost Ark. I was like "Dude, not only have I seen it, but I have it in my dorm room."

3. Totally got scared by my first year seminar, Great Russians, because the teacher is Russian and she pauses so long while talking that I lose focus completely. It's awful. I simply cannot concertrate on her.

And I understand that English is her second language, but I just have issues with her already. But I have good hopes because it's more of a class discussion class than a lecture. And this guy Alex from my orientation group remembered my name and talked to me. Squee!

4. Did homework.

5. Had dinner at the President's house and sat next to his wife. (The first lady?)

It was a honors student thing. It was very very nice and Mrs. President is awesome and very refined and from Prague. Mr. President is from Belgium. Cool huh?

6. Watched Jeopardy! Yes I am a dork. And I like it that way. Abby and Courtney and Whitney and a few other girls and I are going to start a cross-stitch/knitting/crocheting/sewing circle instead of going out drinking. Yay us!

7. Wrote this entry.

8. Talked to Hannahmylove.

9. Was sad not to get any mail. HEY GUYS! SEND ME MAIL!
