Shut your noise tube, taco human! ---Invader Zim

tacos. i could really go for a taco. one of those fake tex-mex tacos at taco bell. with all of the grease and beef cow chemicals gushing through the taco shell. mmmm. i bet tina is working there tonight. i should go to visit her. so what have i been doing? most of the usual, studying, writing, anime club, soto, spanish club, dei, eating copious amounts of apple butter. yeah. i'll have all of my random-shit courses done this semester too, which makes me intensely happy. then it's onward to spain. i will be keeping a record of the trials i face before and during my study abroad experience in a separate blog since it'll seem like I'm in a whole other life over there. It's right here. i've already begun with a raging fit over the way i have to process my visa. death to the bureaucrats at the consulate who don't know how far their own juristiction stretches! but i'm okay. really. classes are going just fine. my intro to hispanic lit professor is kinda dry, but she's very helpful. the marriage and family professor is rather full of himself, but that isn't a new phenomenon with ph.d people. russ has a steady girlfriend. this came as quite a shock to all of us a soto last week. let's just hope that he doesn't roll over and squish the life out of her like he did when we shared a cot at ben's house in the spring. it's not fun being small sometimes. actually, it's mostly a road of anguish and misery and hatred, filled with hardly-5-feet hellfire. hee. but, if we ever have to fit extra people in a car, I'm the one who gets to sit on top of people. so nyah.
