Hey, I wrote a novel, and it is this post

Another week has gone by.  It's not been much exciting.

Math is hard.  Like, a lot.  If it weren't for Kyle, I'd not know what to do half the time.  The prof is a part-timer, and because of that, a jerk.  He refuses to help anyone or address anything outside of class.  He keeps pointing people to the tutoring if we want it, otherwise tough shit, etc.  But, thankfully, I don't care because Kyle is really good at math and he helps me out SO MUCH I can't even begin to tell you.  I <3 him so much =P  Not just cuz he's a math genius either.  There are other reasons ;)

The school is a huge maze.  There are a dozen buildings on campus with passageways, tunnels, corridors, and various random stuff going every which way.  It's hard to find my way around but I'm getting better at it.  I enjoy spending time there and I don't feel that dread I used to feel all the time at home when the word "school" entered my thoughts.  I chalk this up to progress, and being a good thing.  My classes are going well, too.  I'm really understanding all of my subjects, and none of them are particularly worrying to me about being difficult, except maybe geology, which I'm not convinced is 100% a sane subject.  I went from really, really excited about learning more about it, to being a bit let down by the class.  The prof, while really excited about the subject, lacks a certain... I don't know... gravitas?  when presenting the materia.  So I can't help but sit there and almost fall asleep (the class is at 7pm) while she drones on and on about rocks and ... more rocks.  I'm hoping the subject will regain its magic, but unless the prof changes her lecturing style, I don't have much hope for it.  It's just gotta be something I'm gonna have to tough out.  >.<

In my last post I talked about my friend who undergoing drama at home.  Turns out things are going a bit better for him, especially with his mom.  His dad, on the other hand, not so much.  He's still digesting, from what I understand, but it's still up in the air how it's going to affect him.  My friend says his dad blames his circle of friends for him turning gay, nevermind the fact that we all know THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING.  That doesn't stop him from being a douche and thinking that.  So yeah, "bad choice of friends," was the quote, if I remember correctly, and his dad may be putting his foot down re who he can hang out with.  Stupid.  I hope he comes around like his mom.  His sister helps lots, too, which is good.  She had always been supportive, from the very beginning, and helped get his mom out of her stupid mood.  I wish him lots of luck, and I'll post here if/when anything changes.  As I mentioned in my last post, I'm still worried about the fact that his being gay will spawn interesting and unexplored conversations between his parents and my parents, during which they will freely discuss and speculate on things, possibly my own sexuality, which will make MY family paranoid and questioning, since my parents watched my friend grow up, in addition to me, and his childhood/relationships are strikingly similar to mine, so I think they'll maybe start connecting the dots.

And that's not a conversation I want to have with them anytime soon.  Like, really.  The thought of that just makes my skin crawl.  I can't bear thinking about how shitty that would be.  Anyhow, no use worrying.  Just hope for the best...

No word on the job front yet, either.  No place has called me back, and it's now been almost two weeks, so I won't hold my breath any longer.  Once my six months is up (yeah, that's a while from now... I know...) I'll just apply for work in-town.  Apparently, I'm not good enough to work at school =(  why I don't know.  My resume's impressive (haha jk it's not =\), and I even printed it on nice paper!!  T_T  The guy even commented on how nice the paper was >.<  I spent $7 on that nice paper too -.-

When I moved here, my phone from the US didn't work any longer.  It was a Motorola Droid, and I loved it with all my heart.  I loved it like I would a dog, or cat, or gerbil.  Okay, just kidding; maybe not a gerbil.  But definitely a cute cat or something.  Anyway, I had to give it up because it wouldn't function here.  So when I went to go get a new cell phone, I wanted one that was a smartphone.  I'm hooked on the awesomeness of a smartphone with all the apps and interwebs and email... and facebook... must. get. So yeah, it surprised me when they told me that they don't have much of a smart phone selection.  They stocked a bunch of BlackBerries, but like, srsly, I hate BB (nothing wrong with them, I just strongly dislike them).  All the Android phones they had were shitty or old, and the iPhone was perpetually sold out like, all the time.  So I went with a crappy Sony Ericsson because it was the best phone they had to offer.  It has the old Android OS but there will be an upgrade.  Or, well, there was going to be one.  See, the old Android OS sucks, lots, and the only reason I bought this phone was because the OS is in for an upgrade to the 2.x series.  But it turns out it's been delayed THREE TIMES and it's still not official on when it's going to come out.  So I called Rogers, the phone company, pissed off that I'm locked in a two year contract with a shitty-ass phone that they can't even be bothered to update.  Well, I worked out a deal that says I can get the always-sold-out-iPhone MAILED to me as a replacement.  I'm like, YIPEE!!!  I'm not a huge iPhone nut, but like, anything's better than this POS.

Unfortunately, I had to wait until October 3rd to get it because of a mandatory, something-or-other, waiting period.  Anyway, the lady calls me like, Tuesday, to tell me that they can actually send it to me now, and to call back and have one of the reps fire off an email to her (since they can't transfer me) and let her know to call me back.  So I did that and I heard nothing.  A day went by and I called back and said, basically, "look you idiots, I called you back and had you email her like you asked me to, but she never called back.  Email her again, plox, and this time tell her to JUST DO IT, but still call me back".  Yeah, that was Thursday, and I haven't heard shit yet.

I want my phone... so hopefully she got my message and is doing it and will call me back ASAP.

Anyway.

Oh man, this is a hugely long post.  Here I thought I had nothing to talk about, but then it turns out I have LOTS to talk about xD

I'll stop for now and maybe make a post later today or something.  Sorry this is rambly and stuff.  I stayed up all night, 'cause I could, and so I'm really tired and sleepy and a bit wonky.  But I'm ready for bed and will sleep a few hours and then go to bed earlier today because I have school tomorrow (weeee =P).

If I have nothing to say, I'll post an update  AT LEAST once a week, so, fret not, I'm still alive, just lacking on things to say (or the time to say it).

Anyway, cheers to all of you.  You know I love you <33

PS - Sorry again about the crappy grammar/rambling/TLDR longasspost.  I swear I'll make better ones next time.  I won't be so out of it.
