Five weeks down, ten to go

We’re starting to hit a rhythm, albeit a fast, pounding, this-is-house-music-and-this-is-why-we-don’t-go-out-to-clubs-anymore rhythm.
I have a pretty good idea of what I’m doing in all four of the courses, and now that last week’s towering pile of corrections has been (almost) eradicated, I’m bracing myself for next week’s incoming slew of essays. In the meantime, my sister is graciously providing the Thanksgiving feast, and all I have to do is make my cranberry gravy. My plan for Thanksgiving involves eating an obscene amount of food and drinking a lot of good wine.
Observations of student life:
1 – cell phones are not only absolutely essential, they are statements of individuality (ha!) featuring customized ring tones and rhinestones. If your cell phone is in your bag and you’re not in class, you’re just not trying hard enough.
2 – if you’re female, clothing should be as form-fitting as possible, and no matter how many t-shirts you have layered, your push-up bra should make sure there is very little left to the imagination.
2a – if you’re male, clothing should be as loose as possible. It should look like you’re not quite finished dressing yet. Adults should look at you and have to restrain themselves from screaming “for goodness sake, pull up your pants.”
3 – When entering the building, please take a moment of silent reverence as you gaze skyward, to the class cancellation screen. Worship this screen. Believe in the power of the screen. Amen.
