I love my FN.
Ok so.. I don't plan for this to be a lengthy blog but... it very well may come to that.. it depends on how much my brain decides to remember... or until my "cleverness" runs out.
Here goes nothing.
Due to the fact that nothing exciting has really been happening here in the great city of Granada, I decided I would give you a list of things you should never do if you are ever so lucky to get to travel to Spain.
- Do NOT make fun of the way your POE teacher says your name. You will not have the Spanish vocabulary to tell her that you are joking and giving her a hard time.. Your grade could possibly plummet.
- Do NOT wear your "Swagga Shoes" on a rainy day while walking down the hills of Spain... you will slip (multiple times) and more than likely will not go down as gracefully as I did.
- Do NOT make really smart comments in your art class... your class won't like you very much. Haters.
- Do NOT expect to get free WiFi anywhere... or be allowed to plug in your computer after you do pay for the WiFi... you will be very disappointed.
- Do NOT expect wishy washy weather like in Texas... if it looks like it's going to rain.. it's gunna rain.
- Do NOT expect attractive men. It will be another disappointment.
- Do NOT step on wet leaves on slippery surfaces.... you will have the same effect as the Swagga Shoes on hills.
- Do NOT underestimate the Chino stores... The Chinese know where it's at... they have everything. .. fo cheap!
- Do NOT think these are all the things you need to know before you go to Spain.. it's not.
Transition to stories.....woriuwpojaslkdfjsaofuowhrljd Ready.
So about making fun of my POE teacher, Sonia...
It wasn't my smartest move.. it kind of happened before I could keep it from happening. I'll be honest though... I executed it perfectly... like so perfectly she looked around the room as if it were an echo. "Cooney" I think more than anything I took her by surprise. She then proceeded to ask me how to say it I repeated with a slow, articulated breakdown of the syllables, "KORT-NEE".. she repeated "COH-NEE" BLEH! bad bad bad. I told her Cooney was better.. I then realized I had no idea how to explain to her that I was just giving her a hard time. CRAP!... Luckily she had just shown us our grades and so I'll know if she gives me a lower grade for my little "act of stupidity". Good one Court.
Sonia also informed me that I need to participate more in class. She then showed me that I only had 3 marks of participation (since Oct.-ish)... That's straight up BOOTY! I've totally participated more than 3 times.. she just never puts a mark down for me.... I know it's true because I watch her... If Sonia wants more participation, she's got another thing coming.. I ain't gunna shut up now. She messed with the wrong girl/Aggie/Texan. BTHO POE! Woo! I'm all fired up. I'm actually looking forward to class tomorrow. :)
I had a first in my History of Art class today... a girl in my group gawked over my handwriting. Take that Brooke Beacham! (Mom just said really?) Yes mom, really! But don't feel bad.. I was just as surprised.. if you know me then you know I don't have beautiful handwriting... all it is is legible (or as Limp would say "eligible".. she kills me) and you can also tell that a girl wrote it. I was flattered. I hope to have that girl in my group on several different occasions. :)
I pulled an Andrew today... but I'll admit it wasn't entirely my fault.. my teacher provoked me... she asked, "Where [instead of what] is Corpus Christi?" My response? "Texas". Yep I said it.. did the class roll their eyes? I don't know, I was too busy shoving my foot into my mouth to notice. After being laughed at, I came to figure out that she was asking for the meaning of Corpus Christi... which means Christ's Body. Good to know huh? Like I said.. wasn't entirely my fault. Speaking of Andrew, he recently got engaged.. proposed in Spain... I felt really bad and thought he was lying for the longest time... Oops. Go Andrew!
Colleen did the unthinkable today. I was scoping a friend's ring day pics and she asked me what was up with the little gold rings? Excited to share one of the greatest Aggie traditions with her I had the following conversation with her:
Me: Ring Day was only one of the most important/exciting days of an Aggie's life (other than acceptance) There were very special requirements and it is considered an honor to be able get one.
Colleen: Are they expensive?
M:Yes, especially if you are a guy, or if you want a diamond in the middle.
C: I don't see the point of paying a bunch of money for something that you aren't going to wear after graduation.
**I have slight heart attack*** (yes, I'm fine.. now.)
M: Aggies wear their rings for life... it's such a tight network of people that if another Aggie sees you with your ring they will more than likely strike up a conversation with you.
C: I still don't get it... I think it's dumb
M: It's a good thing you don't go to A&M
After that little catastrophe, I was sure write that on my little notepad app on the side of my comp to remember to include in my blog... I typed "Collen bashing Aggie Ring".
A few hours later.....
C: (out of no where) I wasn't bashing your Aggie Ring earlier.
M: Whatever you totally were!... you probably shouldn't go reading though all my sticky notes. It's totally going in my blog.
C: Well, I was reading the one about genetic mutations making a hot baby and thought ther was more so I clicked to the next one...
[see prev. blog about reference above]
[I did not see this act as justified, but whatevs...]
M: Regardless, you still probably shouldn't do it.... Want a Rebuena? (a Rebuena is a wonderful, wonderful cookie)
Just a few more things to get off my chest...
National Geographic, for some reason, is way better in Spanish... I hope to have Spanish Nat. Geo. in my house someday.
Also... I may be spending my birthday (once again) abroad in........ PERU!
Dos besos,
Courtney
