Hyenas won their final game of the season but will not be moved to the play-offs. It was a blast tho, we won 6 to 1 and I got my first goal in forever. Good times. This story isn't so much funny as it is long: A funny thing happened in one of my clases. It was my Senior Seminar: Evil and Meaning (which apparently equals The Holocaust & Soviet Russia). This class is heald on Mondays only. Last Monday was Martin Luther King, Jr. day, so we didn't have class. That means that up until today we have only had one class. The assignments for the next class were as follows: Watch a documentary entitled The Last Days produced by the self-appointed president of the "Holocaust Was Bad so Lets Film People Taking About It Foundation" (HWBLFPTAIF), Steven Speilberg. The 2nd thing we had to do was to read part of a book, Man's Search for Meaning, which is apparently really good, and lastly to write a 5-7 page paper on our 30 minute "surround yourself with silence and reflect" exercise. This seemed okay, we had two weeks for all three. Last night, I pulled out my Syllabus to find that the paper was due last Tuesday. Yes, a day we don't even have class, nor will we ever have class on Tuesday. In my personal opinion this was a dick move. Anyhow, after freaking out, I decided I'd better get crackin' and hope she will let me turn my paper in late. I decided I would do the reading first. Turns out that the 'part' of the book we had to read only excluded the introduction and "in heind sight" notes. It was just under 175 pages of reading. About man. And his search. For meaning. The only logical thing to do at this point (10pm) was to procrastonate, so I did. Then I read the book. Then I went to bed at 7:45, and woke up at 8:50. Went to my religion class and came home. I wanted to just say screw it and sleep for two hours before my 'evil' class, but my healthy and often intelectual roomate suggested that I do the paper instead. I typed 6 pages in 2 hours, a personal record. I had watched the film on saturday, so I was all set for class now. When we had our 5 min break, I heard someone ask if they could turn the paper in late because bot their maternal parents and foster parents and dog had died the week before or something like that. She said it was okay. I explained that I am an idiot, so she let me turn in my paper late also. When we got back from our little break, she asked the class who had seen the movie, and it turns out I was the only one who had seen it thanks to netflix (ask me if you want a free trial and I'll hooks you up). So she did the only logical thing. She showed the video (all 1.5hours of it) to the class. Did not suggest to me that I didn't have to stay and because of her previous good-will pertaining to the paper I did not ask to leave. But think of it this way. She might as well have asked the class "Who wrote their thesis paper yet?" and when only one person had, she tells the class that they can write it in class, but makes the person who has allready written it, write it again. I know that theres a difference between paper and movie, but still. ......I told you the story wasn't any good...... ZWAN CD comes out today, so be sure to buy it at any one of your local Best Buy Corperation owned record stores (i.e. Sam Goody, Best Buy, Media Play, Suncoast, etc.)
