The Agrinautica

   And um a girlfriend too.

   April fools on that second part. I just had to make SOME kind of april fools joke, as I hadn't yet. But today the car was formally transferred into my possession. So... this is a historic day.

   In Other News: I was delusional this morning. No really. Well, my computer clock is slow. I unfortunately have had a tendency not to change it back to the correct time until it gets far enough off that it causes me to be late for something. That happened this morning, as the clock had become exactly half an hour behind. I therefore thought it was 9:00 when in fact it was 9:30. I proceeded to miss my bus. Catching the next bus I was about ten minutes late for class. To prevent this from happening in the future I eliminated the display of the clock on the computer, because as we all know a stopped clock is more often correct than a slow clock; and unable to stop the clock, (or make it run accurately) my only recourse was its removal. I shall no longer be deluded into a false sense of time, but will I no longer ever be delusional? YOU decide! (=


   I had HIS131C (Ancient Regime 1650-1800) and COM6 (Comparative Lit: Myths and Legends) for the first time today. COM6 looks really fun so I'm excited, but I need to get a bunch of books for it. Psha on books. But.. I'm excited. The History class.. I dunno the teacher seems kinda fascist. She seems psychologically rational unlike many other teachers, but fascist in her assignments (we need to have a question ready each day on an index card larger than 3x5, among other things).
   In the history class I knew five people of the 54 or so. Thats like.. ten percent of the class. Craziness. (Courtney Caruso, Sarah, The British Guy, Andrew Whelan (Campus Editor of the California Aggie) and... Russ Fagley I think was the other. I contrast of about 78 people in COM6 I spotted all of one person I knew (Kris Edelmyer).
   It occured to me today that I actually could drop one of my classes.. and I'm all about taking my time. I think I may drop HIS131C.


   My mother and I had lunch today with miss Garian Cika. I dated Garian for like three months last year, and my mother thinks that Garian is like.. the most wonderful girl EVER. I earn brownie points with mom just by mentioning Garian's name I swear. Last summer I'd want to visit San Diego.. parents totally not about to give me permission to take the car the two hours down to SD, until I mention that maybe I'll visit Cika. In response to the revelation that I now have a car, Garian is like "road trip!!" with anyone else, knowing mother's scepticism regarding the car's dependability, she'd have been like "haha.. NO" but noo she's all about it and later she (mother) is like "I'll buy you're food if you go on a road trip with her!" Silly mother.


   Hmm.. what else what else... there were the cookie wars on campus today. I think I'll write an Echidna article on the subject and maybe someday even publish it.
   Later this evening I saw notorious campus republican Mike Dugas, cal aggie conservative columnist Zack Amendt, campus green party bigwig Sonny Mohatmazedi, and another person of liberal tendencies I didn't know sitting at a table talking. I KNEW it was a vast pan-politco-spectum conspiracy!
   No actually they were having the most rational, philosophical discussion I have ever seen people have on such a controvercial issue. No one interrupted anyone, no one made any statements that weren't insightful and meaningful, rebuttals were similarly made, the entire exchance was amicable and respectful. I was very impressed.


this is cool
