I feel humorous, frustrated, random, and challenged.



People, I'm officially addicted to these comics! Do you find them funny?

Okay, an update of the strange language of the sweetest professor I have:
1. "They put him in the etc."
In the what?!
2. "He killed him you know, etc."
No, we don't know! Grrr!
3. "We say 'both' when we have two things."
Really? This is my second year in college, I'm in an English Literature major, and I did not know that! *pouts* I'm offended!
4. "So they look at him monster you know who."
Umm.. wtf?!
5. Coat = Quote
No comment
6. "What do we find there else?"
We find you taking English classes?
7. "He makes the Arabs killed."
Makes them killed? I want to make me killed!
8. Reemond = Raymond + Meursalt = Mozart
*pretends not to notice*
9. Bullis = Bullets
Again, no comment
Problem is, I like her! She's the sweetest professor there is! Seriously, people, I like her as a person. I just don't want her to teach me. I feel like shooting myself in her class. It takes a lot of effort and mental struggling to piece her words together so they actually make sense. Oh, well... I guess I have to suck it up until the end of the semester. *sigh*
Reemy, thanks for documenting;*

Bits and Pieces
The other day I went to Burger King on campus with Sou. The two phillipino worker ladies thought it was strange that a Kuwaiti is hanging out with a non-Kuwait. Umm.. Why?
I love hugging people. When I mean it ya3ni I never hug people I don't like;p
My enjoyment of coffee elevates in the winter. Can't wait;p
Today, I realized that I'm really into American Gothic literature.

Ok, this is a serious topic inspired by my American Literature class (thanks to K.P.). I have a question. Do you think humans (I refuse to use the word man) are perfectible or sophisticated animals (don't take it offensively, read the rest)? Yes, literature brings that question to mind. Now, I know that some writers have written about how humans are able to become almost perfect if they follow certain guidelines (Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Eckhart Tolle, Rhonda Byrne, Paulo Coelho, etc.). Others, (Charles Brockden Brown, Edgar Allen Poe, Jeffrey Eugenides, Charlotte Bronte, Orhan Pamuk, etc.) have written stories that somehow encourage the idea that humans are blinded by their instict. Which got me thinking that animals are blinded by instinct! Some animals eat their children when they are hungry. I understand that we do become beastly when we are put in situations that reduce us completely to our instict. I also understand that we can become poshlusty once we set our mind to it. I have an answer I'm very content with, but I prefer to keep it to myself. I want to know what you think. Are humans perfectible, or are they merely sophisticated animals?

Dr. Ya3youni is hilariousssssssss!!! I can't stop laughing!

I like Esteé and Sunitha! I haven't seen them in 2 days and I miss them! You're right, what's the big deal with a Kuwaiti hanging out with a non-Kuwaiti, but ya3ni can you really blame them for thinking it's weird? Have you seen the girls in the cafeteria?! *shudders*
