A Lack of Productivity, and Book Meme Day 08

[apple_pathways]

I didn't go into work today, because it's a slow time of year for us, and I don't have enough students on Thursdays. It's nice to have a day off, but I really need the money! Things really need to pick up soon, and I need to get some more high-paying private students.

Instead of spending my day off productively, doing homework, laundry, planning for this dinner party I'm supposed to be hosting this weekend, and a million other things I need to do, I have spent it shopping and surfing the internet. I finally bought some bras that fit properly (that I tried on before buying), so that was good, but then I also bought "jeggings" (jean leggings. I know, the name irritates me, too.), which is bad, because I don't necessarily need them. (But they do look hot under my boots, so...)

Last night I had a dream where I was in a class, and there were a couple people at the back of the room being rude and talking. The lecturer was just ignoring them, so in the middle of his Power Point presentation I just stood up and shouted at them: "COULD YOU JUST SHUT UP PLEASE!" Then I offered to go out in the hall with the guy and fight him. He didn't take me up on it. (He could sense I'm a badass, oh yeah!)

The teacher wanted to talk to me after class, and I was forced to admit that I might have overreacted just a tiny little bit. I said, "I was just really frustrated." He said, "Yes, well it's not your job to monitor the class." I said, "I know, that's why I was frustrated: you should have done it!"

Even in my dreams I have no tact.

Day 08 - A book everyone should read at least once

I've got two selections: The Bible, and Homer's The Odyssey. I chose them both because they're essential to understanding classic literary allusions in English literature.

D'aw, bb, your dream! I could never be that straightforward; not many of us in the UK are, imo, it's like how we roll - all oppressed and polite. xD But I'm very much like that, more than a lot of people, and I'm not very straightforward. I'd probably send a glare and hope that he shut up!

You know, I've heard that about the UK! ;) I have a feeling I would scare the crap out of the average Brit. I'm generally very polite, but I do have to hold myself back a little when other people are being rude. My mother is always afraid I'll "make a scene", but I can't really think of a time when I ever have (at least in her presence...), so I don't know what she's so worried about.

But no, I would not shout at people in a classroom! But I would be tempted to, which is why I found this dream so funny. :D

Your fan mix is pretty cool, I like it! Especially "Cocaine"...ever since I got into this fandom I've always associated that song with Holmes. Also, Eric Clapton is amazing. :)

My instant reaction after reading your dream:
"FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!"
Why yes. I am one of the faceless few who crowd corridor fights. :)
