Hello! Well, my summer's officially over and I've been back at school a whole two days now (don't get me started on textbook prices. Just. Don't.). Everything indicates a smooth semester with a lot of work (and a lot of reading), but that's just fine by me.
And, man, do I love the cast of characters that comes with college classes. In a given class, around the room you're sure to find one (or more, depending on the kind of class/time of day/university location) of the following:
The jock who lives at the gym and eats nothing but protein shakes and WANTS YOU TO KNOW IT:
The religious fanatic who can't wait to tell you where you're going because of your immoral college lifestyle:
The Super Senior who cannot be arsed to give two shits about any class ever again because they're graduating at the end of the semester:
The group of people who know each other from another class and are only making you feel more self-conscious about the fact that you don't know too many people:
The guy in the hat:
Inevitably, the hungover fraternity brother who didn't bother to shower (or change his shirt) after peeling his vomit-soaked person off the unfamiliar living room floor he awoke upon:
The girl with the rather elevated voice who happens to be disclosing information of an intimate nature right at the moment the class goes very quiet:
The guy who genuinely cares and would say anything make you feel better because you're really disappointed about something:
The quiet kid who isn't subtle about the fact that he thinks he's better than you all:
The guy who speaks in metaphors because he's an English literature major like that:
The chick who has a comeback for EVERYTHING you'll ever say:
The kid with the weird name who makes up for it with his eccentric personality:
The socially awkward kid:
And, of course, the professor:
To whom your initial reaction will probably be a lot like this:
Why, no, I haven't been watching
Firefly; nor have I been singin' the theme song to myself, gushing over characters and dropping quotes left and right like some sorta
gorram geek. Oh, wait. Went around Photobucket for some fun icons last night, trying to get it outta my system, but instead, it occurred to me that I could have some fun with them. So I did.
