Today during Greek class

Professor: we need to get to the end of this book of the Odyssey cause of the test Monday, so we have to clip through this translation. *does two lines*
Student: What's going on with this one niggly word?
Professor: *expounds at length*
Same Student: What's going on with this other niggly word?
Professor: *expounds lengthierly*
Same Student: Wait, what was that first word again?
Sara: OMFG I CAN'T TAKE IT
Different Student: What's going on with this one verb tense?
Professor: *argues with student for minutes on end*
Sara: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!
Professor: all right, let's have someone translate *does ten lines himself*...does someone want to take over? *does ten more lines* somebody else should do this *does ten more lines*
Sara: *attempts to puncture carotid artery with pen*
Pen: *isn't sharp enough*
Class: *finally ends*
Professor and Students: *refuse to stop talking*
Sara: *packs up things loudly*
Students: *Block doorway while discussing something pointless*
Sara: *considers screaming "HULK SMASH CLASSICS DEPARTMENT" but restrains self*

I'm giving Blockbuster.com a shot, since the real blockbuster never really has what i want to see anyway. At the moment I'm watching some random sailor moon episodes (it's randomly the ones where they meet Uranus and think she's a guy [must call kaeti to laugh]), and snickering because the names of their superpowers are so stupid. I watched for five minutes before Sailor Moon's voice was SO IRRITATING that i had to switch it over to the Japanese subtitled side.

I think that makes me officially a snob.

Dude, Netflix is way better. Just sayin'. XD

Not a snob, per se. I mean, no one likes their ears to bleed, right? XD

Heheh... umm, you're not at my university by any chance, are you? That sounds so, so familiar...

This is so like the grad-level middle-english class I took I can't even tell you. I nearly committed unspeakable acts on the woman who asked every single fucking god-damned day for another explanation of the variatins on the word "I" in the text (I, i, ich, ick, ic, y...etc). Answer: fluid time in language, concept of I and also language in flux, many variations, no standardization, just dammit deal with it. That was pretty much what the teacher said on Friday of WEEK FIVE of this same damn question every day, with the actual explanation getting longer and longer, then shorter and shorter, then less and less polite...
