Moar 18thc musings
Apr. 2nd, 2009 02:47 pmI just wanted to note that it seems I've chosen wisely in deciding to make the peach stripe poloniase; I keep seeing my f-list making and trimming their own froofy polonaises, and it makes me want one! And then I get to remember that I actually will be making one of my own, woot woot. Of course I won't be able to work on it for another month...*sad face*...but I'll be at home this weekend to see my little sister's play (Annie Jr, ugh ugh ugh), so...we'll see. I can at least dig out the peach petticoat to fix that up. *squee* Froofy polonaise-land, here I come!
Oh, and I almost forgot; another anecdote about the Cleverness of College Students. This time it was in my class about England, where two giggly girls sit directly behind me, to my chagrin. Before class started today, they managed to be especially giggly and irritating, engaging in what was clearly a meaningful and profound conversation, punctuated with exclamations like, "OMG, no he DIDN'T!" and "LOL, seriously?!"
When our professor came in, he asked if the weather was very nice out (it was and is; quite sunny!), and he asked me (I've been in his class before) if we should have class outside. Of course I said yes; who doesn't love an outside class (besides an individual with heinous allergies...)? One of the still-giggling girls then exclaimed, "Oh my god, SHUT UP!!!!" To our prof. I'm prety sure I slunk a few inches down in my seat at that point. Our professor took it in stride, because he's very awesome and laid back, saying "Oh...it's okay, I speak College Student," at which juncture I muttered, "Please don't generalize," which the kid next to me found very funny. When we sat out on the lawn I made very sure to sit far, far away from those two.
WELL THEN.
