trying to further my policy of trying to post at least once a day

so today was the first day back to school

felt good to settle into the old routine
my shoulder muscles are killing me for whatever the reason

math teacher dumps a ton of work on us back on the first day
reminds me of the first math class, no introduction, no hello’s or hi’s — just a straight dive into the lesson
and i still don’t know how to pronounce her name correctly, ms. kaschuk … i’ve settled with a “kaash-chuk” but sometimes it comes out “ka-shuck”
she’s ukrainian … apparently, and ukrainian chrismas is tomorrow (so she’s not coming to school)
so a merry ukrainian christmas to all ukrainian christians

maybe i should make up a pakistani christmas and take a day off school as well
(credit to omid for that joke)

for some reason i’m having a hard time articulating when speaking in person
i feel like taking pauses and breaks — no it’s not stuttering, because i can flow without stuttering when i concentrate
i just can’t speak properly without thinking about it
maybe i need more sleep

swollen members ft. moka only – bring it home

relatively old song but nice, just popped on my winamp

the giant english project is on friday
we’re having a nineteen-twenties party (in school) based on fitzgerald’s the great gatsby (nice book)
so we’re supposed to take responsibilites
not surprisingly, or maybe surprisingly, i was chosen for entertainment
i’ve basically arranged for five hours of music though we only need around three
i’m going as bing crosby, and a.mac is going as al jolson
we’ll sing (lip-sync) to “alexander’s ragtime band”
that should be fun

exams are coming up
that should suck
