a new level of apathy, procrastination

i just opened a beer and walked over to my desk, and then it exploded all over my hand. cool. OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE I STILL HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL!!!! it's a good thing i'm going to take some time off after this, because boy am i sick and tired of learning shit. why can't someone pay me to see how many beers i can drink until i'm dead, or something exciting like that? christ. even my class that i was motivated to take, political violence with steven david, is just waaaay too much work. it's like, an entire book of reading every night. and i have to re-learn how to read every semester, so it's not very much fun. it took me about two hours to read 20 pages last night of the leviathan. god imitates man in the art of what the fuck are you talking about????!!
today i dropped a class that had only three students, so i feel a little bad. but this teacher, god. she starts the class (music and culture) by saying that it's ethnocentric to analyze music by the standards of your culture, and that this is bad. and i raise my hand and say that to analyze anything, the basis of comparison is going to be from your own culture. this angers her so much, that she leaps out of her seat, and remains standing for the rest of class. then, we played a really fun game which she called, "music or not music". so she picks up her bag and drops it on the table and asks, "was that music?" um, no. so she says, "well, you only don't think it's music because that's your cultural response." "i'm pretty sure that no other culture considers dropping your bag on the table to be music." at this point, i swear, she almost started to cry.
music history I is so stupid and boring that i'll probably fail, just like all my classes in high school. my other hopkins class is nothing special. and gosh, that's it. i suppose i should be practicing right now, seeing as that's the reason that i'm not taking any classes. but my lip is killing me after those two hours of wind ensemble playing what i'll call, "the loudest piece ever". i'm going to see if i can take strings class. goddammit, i have too much time. maybe my quartet can rehearse every day. i would take another hopkins class, but i've taken almost all the poli sci courses, and the stupid MTW and ThF schedule vs. peabody's MWF and TTh makes it impossible. AAAHHH JUST LET ME BE DONE
