Graduate School Week 1 - Day 3, little asia

day 3:

thursday.  i get to school at 7:45am to start my final day of the week.  hebrew starts at 8am and so i get in there and sit next to donkey.  pete comes in later and sits next to me.  so after completing the hebrew homework for that day with superb understanding of the material and memorizing how to say and write all the consonants, im feeling pretty good about this so called hebrew language.  

side note:  speaking of hebrew.  back in NC, i had to go to some megachurch because my boss had to meet with one of there administrative persons, whatever, regardless of the reason, i found myself wandering around this ridiculously large campus.  i walked around and saw every room....several rooms were ornately decorated and filled with musical instruments.  so after a couple hours of walking around in the walled up city, i had to stop into their coffee shop to replenish my energy.  this coffee shop (inside their main entrance way/cafeteria/art gallery/enormous room thats in the front of the building) looked very similar to starbucks.  even the logo was very similar.  now, i asked them if this was a starbucks and they said that starbucks lets them rename it or something, im not really sure if they knew what they were talking about.  i look at the logo and instead of the starbucks mermaid lady thing? there was jesus with the crown of thorns.  now, the way they drew him, it looked similar (art-wise) to the lady.  and instead of "starbucks" they wrote "he brews".  wow.

ok back to school.  so i was thinking i was doing well but then the lesson for the day was vowels.  well the vowels in hebrew are just dots and small symbols that go mainly under the consonants.  goody.  now, in english, we have a,e,i,o,u but as we know, those letters have different sounds with certain words.  but we just keep the a the a.  in hebrew, theres a different name of the vowel for each sound made.  i havent looked at my hebrew notes yet, so its going to take me some time to memorize all that crap.  

the class got out at 9:30 and i didnt have class again till 2:30.  so that huge break consisted of:

hanging out

reading

hanging out

eating

hanging out

good times.

lunch was good.  pete, eugene, donkey and i were going to eat together.  males only!  we wanted to try something new....so pete suggested the downstairs of the shops beside the school.  i didnt know anything about this "downstairs" he spoke of but being the zany daredevil that i am, i said "sure, whatever, ill do anything, watch out daughters of man!"

we go downstairs and it opens up into "little asia".  well, i named it little asia.

it was like a mall food market but there were only asian food counters.  it was awesome.  my lunch was $3.99 and i was full. YES CHEAP! eugene got this dessert thing....it was like a red bean smoothie thing with coconut or something, and it was hot (temperature wise, not jonas hot)

he thought it was pretty tasty, so i tried some.  it was weird, not bad? but i didnt want a second bite.  

after lunch, we continued our "hanging out".  talking about theology or arrested development and stupid stories of our past.  so half of the people that overheard us, probably thought that we were sexy scholars.  and the other half thought we were sexy morons.  it pretty much was no question that we were sexy.

class was awesome, there was a guest professor to give the lecture.  the lecture was pretty dense and got a lot of people thinking hard.

ok speaking of hard....im sitting in a coffee shop right now called grounds for coffee.  i came here to indulge myself in a delicious cinnamon roll.  it ruled.  anyways, this guy just came in and if regent had a prom, he would be my date FOR SURE.  his shirt (blouse) looks like something our of the renaissance period.  a sexy burgundy long sleeve shirt that flowed in the wind.  there was a cut on his shirt from the neck to his chest and this was laced with a brown leather string. and you know what else flowed in the wind?  his pony tail.  although he had male pattern baldness, he still wanted to live on the wild side.  his blouse was tucked in to some jean shorts, not just any jean shorts, but cut offs that would make a normal nevernude blush.  awesome.

hey! class was over! DAY 3 (final day) COMPLETE!

the rest of the day consisted of me hanging out with myself, watching mr show episodes, eating and writing day 1 and day 2 of grad school adventures in the blog that you are reading at this very moment.
