*Gasp!* My rent! Oh, relief, I paid it last night. God, my heart.

Last night the teacher was massacring the words Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft. I mean, bad. I couldn't help myself, I went up to her after class and told her, hopefully diplomatically, how to pronounce them. What an annoying pupil I yam! But just because I'm a whitie doesn't mean I don't speak another language. You know what's funny? Blacks and hispanics treat me better once they learn I'm half German. As Cheryl put it once, "You're not white, you're German!"

About a year or so ago, I took introductory French at the university, because I love the French culture, language and cuisine and I would love to visit there and maybe stay for a while (certainly not a popular sentiment in today's political climate but I don't give a shit about that). That teacher was an idiot, stood up there the first day of class and started babbling at us in French. Some people had taken French in high school, but come on! Introduction to French! Well, I wound up dropping the class. Now I'm taking German to get my language requirement out of the way and because I wouldn't mind becoming fluent in my mother's tongue, but one day I will learn French. I'd probably be better off taking it at a community college, where they truly assume you know nothing.

Christ, those fucking cats need to see a vet! Last I heard from that adoption agency, they told me they were out of money and that the appointments would have to wait. Well, Newman is mounting Missy and something needs to be done about it now. I'm running out of objects to throw at him (don't worry, my aim is atrocious).

I was sorry to learn that Meow had given up her blog. :-P
