Primordial Chaos

The Heels played today...oh who cares, it's all about the Lobos now! :P Lobos play away tomorrow, then their next game is the 29th, here at the Pit, against Texas Tech. This game sold out weeks before, it's a pretty big deal here. Assuming we don't lose tomorrow, I KNOW they're looking to hand us our first loss. Dear god, let's just not have another 29% shooting night. Even though we won regardless of that...because we're that damn awesome. My ticket for the Tech game is actually a few rows closer than the others, which puts me closer to the Texas Tech team. Which is bad news for them, but means a good time for me. :P

Cy comes back to the Q in January, and we're totally going to go see a Lobos game at the Pit. This also means I'll have to behave myself. I hope he likes loud...though I bet he can out yell anyone in there!

I spent the day doing some creative writing or at least getting some ideas going. I have a creative writing class coming up in intersession, so why not have a few things to work with ahead of time? Granted I have notebooks full of stuff I could use, but I prefer to not recycle ideas for any reason. Plus I like to write, so it's not a big deal. As much as I am hoping to learn something from this class, it emphasizes process instead of product. Well, I think my process is fine, it's refining the product I think I need to work on. Even then it's more technical grammar usage stuff than anything. I definitely don't remember all the rules, the ones I do use are just second nature to me now. I'll assume the class will include refreshers on that, which will be helpful.


I need an English department faculty member referral in order to be a writing tutor. Assuming I do well in this class, I think I can get a glowing one. The only reason I wouldn't do well is if she doesn't like how I write or what I write about. If that happens then there's no doubt UNM is a sham. I'm not overly concerned though. I'm sure I can figure out what she likes and doesn't like and bastardize my writings to more her liking. I HATE not writing in my natural voice. I wrote it my way for a reason.


Though if there's one major lesson I've learned, it's you have to play the university's game. Meaning you have to work within the preferences of the person in charge. This aggravates me, but I do it anyways. I got dinged pretty hard in the spring semester for attempting to do otherwise. (Still bullshit.)


I consider myself exceptionally fortunate to have reading and writing as very strong points. I've noticed most of my classmates struggle in classes because of a lack of skill in either or both. I know some of the graduate students in UNM's Psy department complain they have to do a buttload of reading and writing. Fucking hell, I'd be happy as a pig in shit doing that. I'd definitely breeze through grad school. I have to read, write and do research? Oh please. I'd be out of there in 4 years easy. Am I a bit cocky? Yeah. But I can back it up. ;)


Are there people smarter than me? Yeah. Better looking? Of course? Know more? Have more talents? Larger accomplishments? Absolutely.


But you better damn believe that I am the most badass combination of all of the above.


Because I do. :)
