For the last week and a half we have been studying the Chinese in my History 111 "The Origins of the World" class, because that is my crazy prof's favorite (she's from Taiwan and specializes in East Asian Studies). We had to turn in outlines for comparative papers that will be due in the beginning of December. We studied the Greeks and Romans for a total of 3 days and that is my favorite area of study (obviously, it's my major). So, I decided to compare women in the Greek culture to women in the Roman Empire.

My prof pulled me aside today and told me that I had to broaden my horizons. That this is a "world-oriented" class and therefore I should consider not taking two identical cultures to compare, but instead consider the...Chinese...? World-oriented my ass! I guess I just didn't know they were identical, I'll stop worrying about not learning the Greek language then, as long as it's identical to Latin, no worries. I'm fluent in Greek! Who knew?!!?

Today we also talked about Japan...which was heavily influenced by Korea...which was directly influenced by-you guessed it-CHINA!
EVERYTHING DOES NOT REVOLVE AROUND CHINA!

Doesn't this sound like the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding to you?
"Give me a word, any word and I show you how it comes from Greek."
"Kimono."
Pause.
"Oh, that's easy..."

Meanwhile...

There is also a French class in the computer lab next to me. The French prof will speak in French for about 1 minute before having to stop and explain what "Internet Explorer" was (which he had said in English). I even understand the French he's using.

BTW: It is my birthday today...I'm officially 20 at 1:28pm today. No more teenage years. Only one year then it's all legal. Happy Birthday to me...Happy Birthday to me.... Hopefully today will be better than my recent days have been. If nothing else at least I get my favorite cake and almost 3 hours of Harry Potter!

Can you believe this??? I mean, it just can't be true. I do enjoy a good horror film every once in a while and my favorite TV shows to watch are compiled of graphic surgeries on the Discovery Channel, or detailed histories of Catherine the Great, but come on...isn't that what everybody watches?

Dr. Phil (you know, the one that's always on Oprah) says this about me:

"Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical and always interesting; someone who is constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it get to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who will always cheer them up and help them out."

What do you think? (I guess he forgot to mention "Seeks approval from others." Haha!)

All of you who are eager to comment: something is obviously wrong with my comments...give me a bit to figure it out. It'll work soon enough and then y'all can comment to your heart's content.

Speaking of "Y'all," in Latin class whenever there is an imperative verb in plural form we say "Y'all". I love translating such a beautiful language such as Latin into Texan slang. Haha!

My debate went well, thanks to all who asked. I think marijuana is going to stay illegal...at least for a while and it's all thanks to me. Mook!

I'm going to a meeting soon with a study abroad advisor...everyone cross your fingers they will let me get out of this country again!!!
