25 September 2007

Strike One!

This morning a friend asked me why I haven't posted lately. Good question. To be honest, I've been a tad busy with reading my books for class. I want to get ahead of the game since I know it's going to be, to borrow a phrase, "a long, hard slog." (Thanks Big Don, I knew you're years as SecDef weren't for naught.) After that tedious explanation, let's catch up.

Tomorrow, 25 September, was SUPPOSED to be my first day at law school. Notice the key verb there...3rd person singular preterite (that means past tense for those who don't know) of the verb to be. (Um, yeah, I know I'm a nerd. Deal with it.) After struggling to get someone at the university to tell me my schedule of classes I finally had enough and called the direct line to their office. The moron on the other end of the phone was a complete tool. I'm sure he mush be a budding young President Bush with his "C-" average. I explained to the guy that I had been waiting for a couple weeks to know what my schedule is and what books I needed for class. I'm sure I could smell the smoke coming out of his ears as he tried to process the statement I had just made and figure out what to do. Sadly, not everyone should go to university, it truly is just a waste of resources.

After what seemed to be hours due to the uneasy paul as he tried to wake up the hamster in his cranium, our future world leader finally said that class wouldn't start until 1 October. After a few more seconds of deafening silence, the lad, who I'll now call Mr. President, said someone would call me to explain. I asked Mr. President to take down my phone number so whomever he was going to have call me back, could indeed, call me back. Mr. President said that they had my phone number, which shocked me since I hadn't even given it to him and my phone blocks my caller id. After some witty wit and repartee he realized that he did not have my number and took it down. I can honestly say I don't think I'll be getting that call by Friday and I'll then have to call and pull some twat's head through the phone line.

So, I now have another week of sitting around and jack'n off while watching the Hitler, er, History Channel. I'm so f*cking poor that I can't justify even taking the Tube around the city to do anything. I really dislike the fool who is sitting in the Oval Office right now. If we had someone like Al Gore there we'd have a hell of a lot stronger dollar right now. Instead, the dollar is at a low compared to the Canadian Dollar (they're at parity for the first time since the 1960s) which is a severe barometer of the strength of the US economy.

Anyway, so that's what I've been up to. I know this is a rather abrupt ending, but I'm tired and don't think I can keep this coherent any longer. Peace out!
