I’m skipping the first stage of grief and going straight to the third. Bargaining.
“Please let me have passed my Egyptian Art midterm. I blacked out somewhere inbetween the 20 slides of wall carvings we had to identify and the 5 page essay about ‘What’s the difference between predynastic and protodynastic Egyptian art?’ Anything you could do I would appreciate greatly. Please? I’ll give you…ummm…a fruit roll up? Remember thoughs? They’re still around and they’re delicious. Want one? Please?”
It’s no use…I’m screwed.
I spent all weekend studying for this test and I’m really not sure if it did any good. I just can’t keep these damn names straight! Netjerikhet, Rahotep, Maaty, Pepy, Kufu, Hemethes, Kafra…ya that’s really all I can remember. Well that and King Wenis. That’s right…Wenis. And the only reason I can remember that is because it reminds me of another word and the fact that he’s known for his ‘large septre of power.’ Now that’s just funny. But other than that, I think I’m brain dead when it comes to egyptian art history. And those few names didn’t help me when we had to list in chronological order the list of kings from the Pre-Dynastic period to the New Kingdom. So say a prayer, because I foresee this being a very problematic last quarter.
Jess and I stayed up until 4 last night getting all of our reels, resumes, and cover letters done. We’re sending them out this after noon to a total of 45 companies. I’m reely (get it? REELy? Told ya I was brain dead) proud of our reels. So proud we went out last night and got this awesome Belgian Chocolate Cake at the Fresh Market. I know, it’s not really South Beach Diet friendly. But if you’re going to cheat, might as well do it right! Plus, we deserved it damnit. Plus it was so rich we could really only eat a couple bites and that’s it. Mmmmm….cake. The final versions of our stuff will be up in just a few days, so stay tuned!. I’m redesigning my sight to use some flash too, so that’ll be up hopefully by the weekend. But…it’ll probably be alittle longer because flash confuses the hell out of me.
So what else has been going on? Well I am offically a dork, and have joined the ranks of ‘World of Warcraft’.
(Say the following sentence in a ‘Revenge of the Nerds’ style voice. By the way, I can’t believe they’re making a remake. I mean didn’t we say all we needed to say with the first 3 movies?)
“My name is ZombieDUG and I’m a level 20 Warrior on the Destromath server. My creed is to vanquish the undead that plague the lands Azeroth!”
Sweet huh?! I know, I know. It’s pretty geeky. And yes…it’s been taking up way too much of time. But it’s just so damn cool! I just had to try it after that South Park episode last week, and I have also gotten a bunch of my fellow dorky friends into it too. It’s like crack…seriously. Andrew, John…hell, even Jess has got on! Well…only for a day. And she’s actually been making fun of me for my new found love for WoW. But I can’t really blame her. Hell I’m making fun of myself! That said…I can fly around on the back of a freakin’ griffin! How cool is that?! And in a weird coincidence I did some missions the other day with a guy who works at ILM’s Renderfarm. Small world…of warcraft…huh?
Anyways, that’s about it. We’re taking Gidge to get her stitches out this afternoon, so I’m sitting in my MoCap class right now trying to burn some time. The problem is, we don’t have anything to do and I’m pretty tired. I think I might go home early and try to get a nap in. How many absences do I have? I think 3. Oh screw it, it’s midterms. Alright, sorry for not posting all that much the past week or so. I’ll be posting alot more often now that things are finally settling down. So…until then…I leave you with a bad ass screen shot from the internet phenomenon…WORLD OF WARCRAFT!
