Sh-sh-shake that ass

I had my first Sociology & Anthropology of the Body today. I don't know how I ended up a natural science student with an affinity for social science and the arts. I think I am really going to enjoy the class. The professor is awesome. She decided today that 8:30 is too early, so we're going to start class at 9 instead. We discussed the disembodied subject in sociology and how we are now moving toward an embodied subject. Basically, the mind and the body cannot be studied separately because each affects the other. Not overly groundbreaking from my perspective, but apparently this is new to sociology since the '90s.

And then we'll do it again

"No good friends, no bad friends; only people you want, need to be with."

My Human Sexuality class is awesome. In the hour and a half class that I had today, the professor said junk, cock, dick, pussy, vajayjay, cunt, and one-eyed monster in reference to boy/girl anatomy. We also watched music videos and discussed subtle/overt sexual content and watched a clip from Seinfeld. And he has promised to tell us how to more frequently achieve orgasm during sex. Best 600 bucks I ever spent on a class.

I have already dropped one of my classes: Physical Activity for People with Disabilities. The "professor" is a 23 year old Dal graduate (who graduated last year). He's friends with people in my class. Plus the course is totally not what I expected. We have to do a practicum (and I already have to do one for another class) and make up a game/sport that can be adapted for people with disabilities. I know it's lazy, but that's just more work than I want to do in my last semester. I decided to take a senior seminar on pain management in its place. Pretty excited.

So basically, my semester consists of:
-Human Sexuality
-Senior Seminar on Pain Management
-Sociology/Social Anthropology of the Body
-Social Psychology
-Case Studies in Kinesiology/Kinesiological Practicum

And, after switching those classes around, my schedule actually became even better. One class on Mondays from 3:30-5, earliest class on Tuesdays and Thursday at 11:30 (it's my practicum, so after a few weeks I don't even go), and still no classes on Fridays. Life is good.

Tonight I'm heading out with some of the PEI girls to watch the hockey game at Your Father's Moustache. I am seriously loving life at the moment.

All the girls ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ahhhh

I had the best night last night at Baba's with Kat, Jenn, and Morgan. Scratch never disappoints and I danced from 10:30 until the lights came on at 2.

I'm the pot and you're the kettle: we're both black

"Laughter is not a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is the best ending for one."

And wild horses couldn't drag me away

I welcomed the year 2010 with sparklers, awkwardness, a kiss, and some cheap wine. For the first time in a long time, however, the awkwardness was not my own. I can't really say that I had a good time at the party. Although meeting Mitch's girlfriend was a highlight. What a nice young lady. Aside from that, 2010 entered with little bang. I am apprehensive about the year to come.
