Welcome to Reality

You know, reality TV is just getting beyond bad. I'll even admit here that I've been sucked in for a season or two of something. I can't help it that that chick New York or Tiffany or whatever got a massive boob job and looks even more ridiculous than before. I'm only human, and train wrecks are difficult to look away from. But this fall, unlike other falls of reality TV which have come before it, I noticed a shift in the reality of reality TV. Apparently these people think they are celebrities (not that I think THAT is a respectable profession by any means...). Apparently I missed the memo, but being a "reality TV star" is like a job or something. People who have been in one reality show before are now in another, or two, or three, or more! WTF?? And they say things like, "I could never give up reality TV!" ......... Seriously. People like that make me realize how far up the social/economic/respectable food chain I am, even as a college student eating ramen (and LIKING it!).

I got my absentee ballot yesterday in the mail, which means I get to vote for president OMG YAY! I hate politics to be honest, but sometimes even I have to step in and exercise my American right to do some damage control. You know, before someone destroys the world.

There are several oak trees outside my apartment here, and all day long I hear the acorns falling against my walls and window. ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT. *ping!*

I'm halfway through the semester, and I'm SO looking forward to the end of it. Uggghs. I've been working on a lot of projects, studying all the time, and in general just crossing off the days of my calender and gazing longingly at December. Longingly.

Student: We're pharmacists. Remember?
Dr. Jameson: I bet you even counted them by fives, didn't you?
