So I think I am going to start sitting at the back of the classroom during my English lectures and just not say anything for a week or two. See, my English class tends not to give comments very often, even when the prof is asking questions and wants imput from the students. So, my typical reaction is that I will be quite for about 15-20seconds after the prof asks his question, then I say something. And, since like 50% of the time no one says anything, I end up putting in my two cents worth. Well, today I was feeling a little fried and it's one of those days when I probably should have just duck taped my mouth closed upon walking into the classroom. Well, anyway, somewhere in the middle of a discussion about Jane Eyre I brough in my own parallel to Grey's Anatomy. It all made great sense, I was merely demonstrating how Bronte was using a common romantic plot concerning fate and meeting and love, and that it is still visible in modern day entertainment. Okay, well, my exact thing was you know, if Jane hadn't met Rochester when she did, as two strangers, and instead had met him in the context that he was her boss, would Jane ever have felt the attraction to him? Or would she have just immediately considered him off limits and never thought of him again. But, instead Jane meets Rochester on the road and doesn't realize he is her boss therefore the attraction and interest she feels in him is not restricted by the professional relationship. Well, the same thing can be said about Meridith and McDreamy (yes, I actually made the direct comparison in class, and yes I said McDreamy); if Meridith and McDreamy hadn't hooked up at the bar as strangers prior to Meridith realizing McDreamy was a surgeon, would Meritith ever have had the interest in McDreamy or would she just have considered him off limits? Perhaps it is only because of the anonomyous encounter that Jane/Rochester and Meridith/McDreamy have that they actually hook up.
Well, needless to say, I think my entire class was laughing their asses off that I actually voiced this opinion right in the middle of the lecture. And my professors reaction was pretty funny as well- he was like "I never watch the show, but isn't there a love triangle and a bad boy character..." at which point he trailed off the class was fully amused.
Oh- I also made an A on my Roman Myth and Religion... I can't help but feel a little frustrated with myself that I didn't make an A+... it was a multiple choice midterm, and a lot of people made A+'s, but I have this really bad habit of second guessing myself on multiple choice, and thus screwing it up.
That's about all that is new and remotely exciting with me. Oh, and I have a job, but I don't know if I want the job because it's at a call center. And since being offered the job I have had two more interviews at two retail stores where I would prefer to work, however the wage would not be as good, so I feel conflicted.
